THEN AND NOW-IS65-1S7S.

Year after year our ears have been
tickled with the sentimental and pocti-
cal utterances Of Decoration Day ora
tors, and our minds eve Toasted upon
the beatlic vision of that grand era
Of national peace and fraternity when,
to quote the language Of clerical en-
thusiast, all the flowers of the North
"ern and Southern graves shall he
lifted and twisted into q chain, each
- garland link, and with that chain
this whole land shall be bound to-
"gether.' Now this is all very pretty,
and is the style of gush that sounds
WELL but unfortunately means little
Something more is needed to perpetu-
ate the Union than mere fraterDal cX-
pressions and the lifting and twisting
of the chains Of flowerv garlands of
Decoration day. True, the physical
chains have been stricken from the
limbs of four millions Of slaves as one
of the grand results for which our
brothers laid down their lives, and an
undivided Union is to-day the result of
their patriotic sacrifice. May a CRATE
full nation never cease to render hon.
age to its patriotic dead But let US,
the living, turn to profitable account
the commemorative duties that we Justly
owe their memories We cannot fail
to find in the present political situation
of the country suggestive lessons of
sound, practical patriotism. Only thir-
teen years have passed since the last
brave man, slain in defense of the
Union, was placed beneath the sod
Yet to-day patriotic men are asking as
gravely as they did in 1868, whether
as people we are to keep the price
less heritage left Us by the dead
Then, the current of patriotic feeling
flowed hot and strong Now, there are
those who think that the Constitution
can be violated, duly naugurated
President ousted, and the government
of the country Mexicanzed, and that
the people will look on careless and
Indifferent. Then, the presence in Con
gress of one man, whose hands were
vet red with the blood Of Union sol
diers slain, was thought intolerable.
Now, sixty-iive Confederate brigadiers
dictate to a caucus of Democratic men,
bers, and even the late Vice President
of the Conlederacv is howled down if,
with far-seeing patriotism, he opposes
revolutionary designs. Then, fresh
memories warned men that rebel in
arms was better, as well as Drawer,
than a Northern Copperhead. Now,
Northern Copperheads are marshaling
all that is dangerous, base or dishon-
orable, for new assault upon the ma
tons peace-the defeated, who are
still vindictive, the hungry Southern
claimants aud spoilsmen, the ravenous
wolves of party at the North, the Com
munists, rioters and tramps, who used
the pistol in the coal regions, and the
torch at Pittsburg-and yet they cx-
pect that those who decorate the graves
of patriots dead, will lift no hand to
strike down traitors living If we cele-
brated Thursday as we should, we are
the better men for the recurrence Of
Decoration day.

THE WOMAN'S HOTEL FAILURE,

II occasions no surprise that the A.
T. Stewart Hotel for women has proved
an ignominious failure. The Utopian
idea of expanding nearly four millions
of dollars in the construction and equip
ment of hotel for the supposed benefit
of selfsupporting women, in which the
cost of living was in excess of the
amount earned by tbree-fourths of those
whom the necessities of life compel to
earn their daily bread, was shared by
no practical and by few theoretical phil
anthropists. The scheme seems to have
been a pet one with the late Mr. Stew
art, and shows that he had, with all
his supposed familiarity with the class

Major Charles d. Hitler, Secretary Society
Of Soldiers and Sailors, Licking county.
Dear MGjor-Your cordial invitation for
me to attend a general re- union of the
veterans of Ohio to be held under the
auspices of the Society of the Soldiers and
Sailors of Licking county, at Newark, on
the 22nd of July, is this day received. 1t
always affords me pleasure to meet at the
gathering of the soldiers and sailors who
patriotically risked their lives for the pres
ervation of the country, and it would af
ford me special pleasure to meet with those
haiing from my native State. But the
Atlantic will be between us at the time of
your proposed reunion. This is the first
opportunity of my life to visit Europe; it
will likely be my last. There is much here
to see which | have not seen, and desire
to remain to partly accomplish the tour
which | had marked out for myself |
trust the veterans of Ohio may have most
suspicious reunion on the coming occasion,
and that none Of them acW ecer feel q d'spo-
sition to apologize for tie part they took in
the late struggle for national existence, nor
for the cause for a1hich they fought. With
great respect, your old companion.

IT is absurd to suppose that the
members of the House of Representa-
tives who voted for the Potter resolu-
ton care in the least what the testi-
mony turned up by the committee of
investigation turns out to be. The res
olution is a declaration of war. With
out the motive Of the attack upon the
title Of the President the Potter pro
gramme is unintelligible But in pri-
vate circles in Washington the fact
that the true intent of the resolution is
to use Congress to throw out the Pres
ident is not concealed This is a dan
gerous business, and it is of the high
est Importance that Congress should
hear from the country before it is too

THE latest gossip about Pennsylvania
politics is that Mr. Randall is extremely
likely to be left at home at the next
election. Senator Wallace is so elated
with his victory in the State Conven-
ton that he is said to threaten to con-
tinue the fight in Mr. Randall's district
and defeat his denomination. This will
not be difficult task. There is an ugly
feeling is Pennsylvania that the Speak
er's anxiety to win strength in the West
has led him to neglect the interests Of
his own State, and the impression GER
tainly has excellent excuse for existence
in the crooked rulings and votes Of the
Speaker during this session.
