Show < I HIS RESTING PLACE r I iIIii There has been muchispejsulation nssto I where General Grant sKalFfinally rest I He himself indicated thr p1nces first among them being West Point The objection I ob-jection to this is that his wish that lfrsI I Grant should rest beside him when she I shallhave laid down to sleep forever I cannot be complied with and so tluTulea I of West Point was abandoned Then came suggestions of Xew Yorlcand Central Cen-tral Park and then Illinois and finally Riverside Park was selected Where the i tomb of General Grant shall be is a question I ques-tion of interest to the nation and among all the suggestions that have been made I we have Keen none so good and worthy lof consideration as that made by the Alta C < ilifornia of the 27th inst I It would seem to be appropriate that I the dust of the man who preserved the country should rest beside that of the man who = was the father of it Why not bury General Grant at Mount Vernon No more appropriate place could be selected se-lected General Grant could there rest as peacefully as does Washington Who that has ever visited Mount Vernon can forget the air or peace and calmness that there reigns Those two simple and unpretentious coffins containing i con-taining the remains of George and Martha Washington are fitting for then grand and simple lives and am far more eloquent elo-quent than the sculptured tombs of cathredral aisles It is to be regretted that Mount Vernon was not sooner suggested sug-gested as a resting place for General Grant |
