Last Sunday was Memorial Day for many of the secret orders of this city and the several cemeteries were visited by men and women affiliated with these associations for the purpose of placing flowers on the graves of the departed. It Is a beautiful custom, this laying of garlands upon the green mounds which cover the sleepers and one that should be more generally obnot of Dut is served. it this particular service this is written. Some few days before this service there had been Memorial services by the survivors of both armies that fought in the Civil war. Both Union and .Confederates had been to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of their loved ones. In the Confederate section, side by side with the flag of the Union, waved the banner of the Lost Cause, the Stars and Bars. There were many of these little flags and to the younger generation they were a marvel, because they were never seen here until the old boys In grey planted them above the graves of their dead. In some sections, where feeling is bitter such action would be resented, but here both sides have become more tolerant and above each soldier floats the flag of the cause he served. It is well. The Federal who followed Old Glory up the slopes of Fredericksburg fought no harder or with more loyalty to his flag than did the butternut Virginian who charged up Cemetery Ridge with the Stars and Bars for his guide. In the embrace of death both lie brothers again and what matters it to us who are living that the flag of the vanquished Is permitted to wave over the last resting place of its defenders? Does it not really show by its presence that complete union has been restored and that in our friendliness for each other we let lts starry field and crimson bars stand as a hallowed recollection for tho men who put up such a gallant light for what they believed to be blood-bespatter- ted suicide immediately after shooting his man, the Russian government will immediately proceed to discover his relatives to the remotest degree, in order to put them to the torture, men, women and children, and confiscate their property. Such of their belongings as escape the thievery of the lesser Russian officials will be added to the property of the czar. That is part of the Russian system of which Bobrikoff was an honest and energetic champion." A day or so ago Lovey made a car- toon. It represented Diogenes hunting an honest man, and Roosevelt endeavoring to attract his attention by ye.ling and beating a big drum. Some Democrat man, signing himself wrote in to ask if the picture of Diogenes was intended as a representation of the wraith of the late Senator Hanna, declaring if such was the case he would not vote the Democratic ticket this fall. A man whose political opinions are subject to change every time an obnoxious cartoon is published would be so busy changing his politics that he wouldn't have time for anything else, and the man who would ' change his politics simply because some one made a cartoon isnt very well grounded in the faith, to say the least. - It is painful to announce, but the duty must be performed just the same, that once more John Lee Webster of Omaha, Douglas county, Nebraska, is among the also rans" for vice of very after it was made. It is said that he was not at all surprised, having expected it all along. One June 27 a committee will call upon him and tell him all over again. o IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP. (Jackson.) It was on the Lucania, several years ago, en route for New York and home. Among the passengers were a man and his wife who were pronounced peculiar by most of those who were returning from abroad, because they resisted all attempts to get acquainted with them. At sea every one gets acquainted with every one else, because well, they get acquainted. But this gentleman and lady stood aloof politely, of course and declined to mingle with the balance of us. There were some remarks made of an unkind nature by a few of us; others treated the matter with Indifference, and still others professed to be glad cf it. To describe these various feelings on the part of the passengers would be to write a column or so, and as the incident closed many years ago, there is no need. The story is another matter. Manager.
