decoration Day.

Tuesday next, May Both. has been designated
BY tho eommander.in-chief of the 6. A. r. as the
day for decorating tn. graves of the soldiers
throughout the United States with flowers. We
are not able to say what arrangements are in
progress, if any, in reference to the observance
of the day in this city.
It is to be regretted that this matter, which
appeals 30 strongly to the patriotic sentimen. of
the entire community, should be left to the
Management of society whose general purposes
are hardly germane to the business. Decoration
day, to amount to anything, should be as gen.
orally observed As the 4th of July. But as an
affair of the G. A. r. it can never amount to any
thing except in localities where there is branch,
sr post of that organization to engineer il.
This is all wrong. Instead Of the gsnerslissimo
of tho G.. A. R., or Kuklux Klan, or some other
secret organization, issuing bombastic orders
about such business the day ought to be desig-
mated by the President or Secretary of state and
then made the common affair OF all the people,
like national fast or thanksgiving.

Murat Halstcad.

From the biography accompanying
the portrait OF the editor of tine Gin
cinnati Commercial, published In the
current number Of HaIper's Weekly,
it appears that Mr.. Halstead was born
in Butler county, Ohio, the "a of Sep
TENDER, 1929; that he was educated
chiefly at home; that he dallied with
literature for while, like other
Young fellows Of ardent and active
capacity; that he entered the eStab-
lishment which he now controls in
1853, and that by dint of grit and stick
lie has made, Mt the early age Of forty
two, power and fortune Of the most
substantial and considerable kind.
The sketch of his career is charac-
teristic and striking. II gives an nc
count of u man, by nature n dreamer
and a poet, who, finding no market
for that sort OF ware, sllcce 'ded in
turning his genius into the rudest AMI
most practical channels, and trans
forming himself from II gushing en-
thnsiast IF Internationally into the
most muscular and u%ngushiny Of
journalistic sort of newspaper mas
til. There Is not the least doubt that
the Cincinnati Commercial is the most
thoroughly independent and carefully
edited newspaper i'm this country; and
the notice of the man To whose cour-
aye, watchfulness and tact its many
eXcellencies are due, is a valuable and
interesting contribution to the library

would not part with it for $1,000. Ac-
