ration Day falls at season Of the year that
is not well adapted for the purpose of tree
planting. The heat is usually intense, and
the chances that the transplanted trees
would live and thrive would be very slight.
Moreover, what with the long marches that
our veterans-many of whom are enfeebled
over dusty roads and under burning sun
on that day, their strength and endurance
are already sufficiently taxed, and any addi-
tional burden might well be regarded as an
imposition.
Lastly, the introduction of this innovation
on the established customs Of the day would
have the effect, we apprehend, of distraeting
public attention from the real purpose of
Memorial Day, and detract from the beauty
and solemnity of the observance. Decora-
ton Day, as it is now celebrated, is the most
impressive of all our National anniversaries,
and the touching ceremonies with which it
is observed ought not to be disturbed with
out mature reflection as to what the conse-
quences of the innovation may be.
For these reasons we are not disposed to
recommend the adoption of our correspond
ent's ggestion-although we are not in
clined to negative it absolutely, and shall be
glad to hear what our comrades generally
think of it-and cannot but believe that a
much better custom to introduce would be
that of planting, instead of simply strewing,
flowers on our heroes graves, so that the
summer long the latter may be sweet with
| bloom.

actuated simply by the desire TO faeilitats
the detection and adjustment Of fraud, and
not by any feeling of hostility towards the
soldier. Granting that such is its motive,
the fact still remains, however, first, that it
has produced no evidence to show that the
wholesale fraud which it charges has any
real existence, and, secondly, that the plan
which it advocates for its detection is caleu-
the guilty. Is it consistent with professions
of friendship fer the soldier to advocate the
adoption Of an advertising scheme which
would render every veteran on the pension

A Moral Earthquake.

The sequel to the Uniontown, Pa, tragedy
tragedy itself The action of the jury in
acquitting Representative Dukes of the
murder of Captain Mutt, an ex-soldier and
comrade of the Grand Army, despite the evil
dence brought out during the trial, has pro-
voked degree of public Indignation such
as is rarely manifested, and from being an
incident of merely local interest it has be-
come one of National Importance. This is
not the first time that the defects in our
jury system have been laid bare. It fire.
quently happens that justice miscarries,
either through the obstinacy or the actual
corruption of one or more jurors in panel,
but it is seldom indeed that jury of twelve
intelligent and responsible citizens deliber-
ately disregard the evidence before them
and acquit the perpetrator of such pecu-
iarly monstrous crime. THE TRIBUNE is
not in the habit of touching upon cases like
this It does not think it conducive to good
morals to publish the nauseating details of
social scandals, but in this instance the sense
of decency of the whole country has been
outraged. 1t appears from the letters which
passed between Dukes and Captain Mutt
that after betraying the latter's daughter
under promise that should have been
sacred in the eyes of all men, he sought to
escape the fulfilment of his pledge by ma
ligning her character in the most atrocious
and heartless manner. When he saw that
this pretext was likely to fail him he had
recourse to the pistol, and deliberately shot
down the protector of the family which he
had so cruelty wronged. These facts were
all before the jury, yet it chose to disregard
| them. Under the circumstances it is not
strange that the murderer should have found
himself outlawed by public opinion, and
| that the jurors should have found them
| selves objects of public contempt Such a
miscarriage of justice as this falls scarcely
short of being a National calamity, for the
reason that it will have the effect of lessen
| ing popular respect for the law and encour-
aging the victims of similar outrages here
after to take the law into their own hands
| 1t is Just such fatalities as these which fur
nish an excuse if not a justification for the
practice of lynching which prevails in GER
tain parts of the country and it is needless
to say that where the citizens generally do
not reverence the law the habitual law
breaker is not likely to entertain very
deep respect 4or it. However the public
opprobrium with which the transgressor has
in this case been visited may prove punish
ment more terrible than death itself, and il
the faithlessness of the Jurors to their vews
shall serve to arouse public attention to the
Importance of exercising greater caution in
the selection of juries, what new seems sc
deplorable catastrophe may yet prove to
have some compromising benefits. This il

Tree-Planting and Memorial Day.
A subscriber at Friendship, N. Y, writes
MS "a follows.

n L ~. IN. 4.,M
us as follows
The floods this year have called public attention
afresh to the necessity of preserving our forests
from destruction and the importance of encourage
ing tree planting. Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour
of this State in letter to the writer suggests that
Memorial Day be observed by planting trees as a
lasting and useful monument to our dead heroes
and Lee Post, of Mount Morris has decided TO
observe it. The matter has also been brought
before the Council of Administration for general
action. As the leading journal in G. A. r. matters
will you not use your influence to have Memorial
Day SO observed, not only by Posts, but by all ex
soldiers and patriotic citizens throughout the
country.
The intention of our correspondent is un-
questionably excellent, but he seems to have
overlooked some very obvious objections to
the adoption of his suggestion. We entirely
agree with him as to the necessity of doing
something to repair the ravages of the lum-
berman's AK, but we have serious doubts as
to the practicability and effectiveness of the
plan which he proposes. It is certainly de-
sirable to encourage tree-planting, but to
accomplish any material good it must be
conducted on wholesale scale, and not
in the desultory way which he recon-
| mends To plant tree here and there
may add to the typographical beauty of
neighborhood, but it will not apprecia-
bly, increase the lumber supply of the
country or affect the intimate relation
| which are supposed by some meteerologists
to exist between the area of forest and the
| frequency of rainfall. To accomplish any
thing of consequence in that direction it
would be necessary tosow or plant solid tracts
of trees, and that, too in special localities and
on soil naturally adapted for agriculture,
and that can only be done by farmers or
landowners. A Grand Army Post might
| with propriety beautify the grounds where
| our dead heroes repose by the planting of
shade trees where there is scarcity of
them, but to engage in tree-planting for any
| other object would be plainly useless de-
parture from the recognized Memorial Day
ceremonies These ceremonies are purely
symbolic, and they should remain SO.
! It should be remembered, too, that Deco
