He Goes to Omaha.
Mr. E. J. Hill leaves this week as a
delegate to the quadrennial General
Conference of the M. E. Church, which
convenes at Omaha and continues
through the month of May. , He there-
fore is not in the field as a candidate
for delegate to the National Conven-'
tion at Minneapolis. Indeed, he could
not accept that honor even were it
forced upon him. Mr. Hill also assures
us that while ex-Gov. Lounsbury ex-
peets to attend the'Bepublican Conven-
tion, he is not in the field as a candi-
date for delegate.
Forbidden Secret Societies.
Much interest has been excited in
Catholic circles by an article recently
published in the American Ecclesiasti-
cal Review by Archbishop Katzer, of
Milwaukee, W'is. ‘ The title Of the arti-
cle is, “Societ1es Forbidden in the
Church,” and it refers expressly to the
status before the church of the Odd
Fellows.
This organization. has been regarded
by some as a society to which Catholics
might belong, but the archbishop point-
edly opposes this belief. He says:
“We believe, with entirely good rea-
son, that the ‘Odd Fellows’ is a society
expressly and by name forbidden, and
no true Catholic can join it.”
The Congregation of the Holy Roman
and Universal Inquisition expressly
declares that the Sons of Temperance
also are included in Pontifical bulls
against secret SQcfiieties and the Second
Council of Bitl’tr'more in Decree Six
adopts the dcciSion of the Holy See.

R. R. Tunnel Bridge.
Err-Burgess Geo. I. Buxton informs
us that the standing of a large puddle
, of water on the plank covering to our
railroad tunnel after every rain, was a
source of trouble to the last board of
Burgesses, and that augur holes were
bored through to let the water run
. down onto the track. But that these
holes soon filled up and required to be
punched out at every rain to prevent
the water collecting. This of course
was not done, as it isonot now, and so
the water continues to pond up there to
the serious inconvenience of‘the‘public
and especially of ladies. ' What needs
to be done, Mr. Buxton says, is to have
iron girders stretched across in place
of the present logs and. then for a brick
arch way to span the tunnel and thus
make a grade that will carry the water
to the gutters on the sides of the street.
As all the former cross walks were
taken up on Wall street, west of the
tunnel bridge, when the street was
macadamized. this bridge forms the
only crossing now left. pedestrians in
seasons of mud. At all events High-
way Superintendent Green should de-
vise some way by which people on foot
can cross Wall street dry shod in that
neighborhood in muddy weather.

Our Flag at the Peak.
A very cheering announcement is
that made by The Boston Journal,
which says:——“Within the last few days
a large fleet of sailing vessels has ar-
rived at Boston from foreign ports and
again the American flag holds the su-
premacy~a majority of these ships fly-
ing the stars and stripes.” I
Everyone who knows enough about
the shipping Of the country to form an
intelligent opinion concerning it and
its needs knows that 'our coast-wise
shipping is already the largest in the
world—«very much larger than that of
Great Britain. But, of late, this has
not been true of sailing vessels any
more than of steamships engaged in
the foreign trade. More than half of
them havebeen foreign craft. Such a
situation as that told by The Journal
shows that our foreign shipping is on
the increase, and points to the proba-
bility that ere-long, if it is not batted
too hard over the head by congress,
the industry may be restored to' its
aforetime pre-eminence.
If the policy inaugurated by congress
some years since, for the rebuilding of
the navy, and the policy inaugurated
by the last congress for the encourag-
ment of our mercantile steam fleet are
both persisted in, there can be no
doubt Of this result. The ‘OppOSition
of the present house to the navy and its
manifest unwillingness to extend any
aid to the merchant marine are not
hopeful signs, to be sure. But if the
American people do their duty and act
according to their manifest interests,
Congress won’t stand in the way of re-
turning commercial supremacy.

in Memory of General Grant.
The monument whose corner stone

will commemorate such a man as
Americans delight to honor, says the
New York Press. General Grant was
one of themselves _He sprang from

service of“ the people, £55311“ both new and '
forevermore his name and fame will be
cherished by the people. He {was ‘

he meant and meant what he‘said- He
told the truth. He never shunned an
nemy or deserted a friend. His ca-
O
reer was free alike from public stain
and private scandal Whether on the
field of battle, in the counsels of state,
or at the family fireside, Ulysses S.
Grant was faithful to duty. His were
in admirable combination the martial,
the civic and the domestic virtues.
Like Washington, like Lincoln, Grant
was great and grand in war and peace.
There is that in his life story which his
fellow citizens will insist on remember-
ing. There is nothing which they can
wish to forget.
The memmial to General Grant is to
be erected at a fitting time. Earlier it
would have been too soon, later it
wOuld be too long delay ed. It is a few
days more than thirty-one years since
the civil war bioke out; a war in which
he was destined to attain colossal fame,
though for many months after Fort
Sumter was fired upon very few people
in the country had as yet so much as
heard of the existence Of one “Captain”
Grant of Galena, Ill. It is just about
'thirty years since the hearts of loyal
Americans began to be .cheered 'by
tidings of a new name around which
the radiance of victory was beginning
to shine. .It is not far from twenty-
seven years since one whom high mili-
tary authority in Europe declared to
be “undoubtedly the greatest general
of the age” received the sword of Rob-
ert E. Lee at Appomattox and the tu-
multuous plaudits of a ransomed nation
wherever the Stars and Stripes floated
over freemen. The time since peace
was achieved 1s enough for the worst
wounds of war—which are wounds of
spirit and not of body—to be healed,
not enough for the heroic deeds of
those days to have faded from the
memory of millions who still live. The
right time for the erection of the Grant
Monument has fully come. Before it
is gone the corner stone laid today
will, we doubt not, have been supple-
mented by a capstone.
And the splendid edifice is to be
erected in the 1 ight place. That place
is near the mouth of the great river
which is the commercial gateway to the
nation’s greatest city. New York is
entitled to have this honor andperform
this labor of love. Here was the
mighty commander’s chosen home in
the closing years of his illustrious life.
Iere his sacred ashes rest in accord-
ance with his own wishes and the wishes ‘
of his surviving family. The war for
Union wasfolosely connected with the
interests of trade, commerce and fi-
nance. But for the treasure which the.
metropolis poured without stint into'
the lap of the Union in times of need,
victory would have been impossible.
The purse was the indiSpensable ally
of the sword. Nor were there any
braver soldiers than those who, under
Colonel Ellsworth and many another
fearless leader marched from the tide
waters of the Hudson to the tide waters
of the Potomac. The reasons are
manifold why it is altogether fitting
that the tomb and the mausoleum of
him who was the nation’s greatest de-
fender should be found by coming gen-
erations of patriotic pilgrims within
the precincts of the nation’s greatest
city.

ELIZABETH, N. J ., April 29.—A horrible
suicide and, an attempt at murder occurred =
here. J Ohn Steinert, a worthless fellow,
about fifty years old, returned home after a
night’s debauch. He immediately began a '
quarrel with his wife. After breaking the
furniture he seized a flatiron and beat her
over the head with it until she was uncon-
scious.
several times in the face.
Believing he had killed her, he then cut
his throat with a razor, almost severing the
head from the body. When the police ar-
rived they found the room covered with
blood. In the center of the floor sat an in-
fant child, playing in the blood of its dead ..
father.
The woman was removed to the hospital,
where it was stated her chances of recovery
are slim. The couple have been living an
unhappy life for some time.
