is now kept even by those who have no
sympathy with the spirit of the occasion.
The celebration of Decoration Day as a
national holiday can only be accomplished
of course, through separate State action, and
the initiative, we need hardly say, must be
taken by the Grand Army. For this the
grand Encampment at Baltimore, next
month, viii afford most auspicious Oppor-
tunity. There viii he in attendance repre-
sentatives of Confederate as well as Union
organizations, and it will he easy to secure
a general expression of opinion as to the
wisdom of the movement. 1t is our own
judgment that it will meet with a very
hearty approval, and we are confident that
the public at large VIII gladly unite with
our veterans in its support. The season of
the year in which the celebration falls is one
that is without any appropriate holiday in
this country, although the English have
their May Day celebration and the Ger
mans their Whit-Monday festival, and many
who have no personal interest in the memo
rial ceremonies of the day viii on this ac-
count favor the innovation.
The National tribune., 1882-05-06

with the proposed appropriation for the pur-
pose The fact that in past years vast sums
Of money have been spent upon the navy
with no adequate return, is calculated to
foster public suspicion that like result may
attend any fresh attempt to rehabilitate it,
and there is really danger that the fear of
such miscarriage of the undertaking may
briEg about another p0stpOnement. And yet,
this is, after all, very childish, if not cow
ardly, way Of dealing with a question of na-
tiOnaI Importance Supposing it to be true
that the reconstruction Of the navy is advO-
Gated by some simply because Of the oppor-
tunity which they hope it viii afford for
plundering the Treasury, that, surely, is no
reason why such soreIy-needed improve
ment should be longer delayed. 1t is within
the power of Congress to put such limitations
upon the expenditure Of any appropriation
it may choose to make for this purpose as to
defeat any attempt at fraud, and it cannot
hope TO escape public censure if it continues
to shirk its plain duty in the matter A new
navy is an imperative necessity in the pres
ent condition of the service, and the money
required for its creation should be promptly
and cheerfully voted
The National tribune., 1882-05-06
Make 1t a National Holiday.

The Observance Of Decoration Day has
now become so general that it might, with
propriety, be added to the list of national
holidays Of these we have fewer than
almost any other nation, and not one that
is at all commemorative Of any event con-
nccted with the late war. Upon the 22d Of
February We celebrate the anniversary Of
Washington's birth, and upon the Fourth of
July the anniversary of the Republics birth
Thanksgiving Day was originally a New
England holiday, and, even at this late day,
is not observed in any State south Of the Po-
tomac. Christmas and Good Friday are, Of
course, purely church holidays, so that virtu-
ally Washington's birthday and the Fourth
Of July are the only holidays that are found
ed upon events in our national history
The reason why none Of the great battles
Of the rebellion have been made the subject
of public commemoration, is Of course, the
natural reluctance which all true patriots
feel in parpetuating the memories Of civil
war. and the general desire 10 0blterate all
traces Of the dissensions that divided the
North from the South, and it is impossible not
to admit the force Ct these objections. The
people Of Virginia cou,d not be expected to
celebrate with the citizens of Massachusetts,
the anniversary Of the fail of Richmond, for
instance. and indeed the effect Of such a cale-
lration would necessarily be to transmit TO
future generations the sectional animosities
that otherwise must perish with this. There
is. however, one object of commemoration in
which the North and the South can Join
hands and that is the valor Of the American
soldier. Divided in opinion rs to the merits
Of the questions involved in the war Tor the
preservation Of the Union, they are one in
their admiration for the heroic character Of
those who persisted in that struggle. Over
the grave OF the soldier they can meet with
feelings of mutual respect and esteem, intent
onlyupon paying the tribute which the living
owe to the dead. There is, therefore, no
sentimental reason why Decoration Day
should not be added TO the list of national
holidays.
The business world however may be
expected to interposc objections. Manu-
facturers are always 10th to lose the labor
Of their employees whenever they can avoid
it, and they are fond of declaring that we have
too many holidays already. But in reply
TO their arguments it may be urged that the
! partial Observance Of the day really inter-
/ feres more seriously with business than a
close celebration, since in the latter case
/ every industry IS placed on the same footing
and no one benefits by another's loss. 1t is
Tor this reason that Good Friday, which
formerly was only observed by the devout,
The National tribune., 1882-05-06

WHY should William Fl. Vanderbilt or
Cyrus W. Field be treated like Car of
Russia? What have they done that an
attempt should be made to blow them up
with explosives sent through the mails?
Are they not the mainstay Of the stock
market, and what, pray, would become of
the Republic if they should happen to be
"removed?" We could not afford to lose
such public benefact0rs. But for Mr.. VAN
derbilt's munifcence, Cleopatra'5 Needle
would never have been brought to this
country, and but for Mr.. Fields iberality
the monument to Andre, the British spy,
would never have been erected. There are,
of course, some sentimental people who
declare that these gentlemen have acquired
their immense riches by sort Of legalized
robbery; that they have built up odious
monopolies and made the public pay tribute
TO them, and that the country would be
better off if they were dead, but doubtless
these assertions are inspired by envy; and
vet we comet help thinking that the lot of
the common soldier is preferable to that Of
these famous money kings, who are hated
because of their power and helpless in spite
Of it. Even the Car of Russia finds it
rather trying to have TO be always on the
lookout for Orsini bombs, dynamite mines,
and arsenic in his hash.
