THE CREMATION OF THE DEAD

San Francisco is about TO elec,
| orematory, after the plan OF the L0
Moyne furnace at Washington ~
Pennsylvania, for the incineration u
the dead. A society has been organ
lied in Denver for the same pufpoeF'
Steps are beiDg taken looking 70 the
same end in Kansas. City, New
Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston ana
Cleveland in Ohio. Indeed 'heFe
appear. u b. \ general forward
movement amoug the advocates OF
cremation. There is 3 strong senti'
ement in the country in favor OF tbs
me- hod Of disposing of the dead. Tne
idea of thrustipg ones loved ones
into dark. damp hole. to hear 'ae
cold clots fall upon their coffiDs and
to leave them there III corruption,
subject not only to ghonls in quest
of subjects but to the insects OF
the earth and the Contamination
naturally incident thereto, is repug-
pant to refined natures. Sanitary
reasons are also working in favor of
the new mode of disrosing of the
dead. Disease and pestilences are
exhaled from our burial places.
Almost every funeral coming from
an over-crowded cemetery brings
with it into the homes of the city the
seeds of death. Dtath dealing ms-
laria lis-s from every Cemetery. Sci
ence and conscience alike approve "f
cremation. 1t is a beautiful system
of passing the human elements back
into their original state. The process
in a properly equipped furnace Is
beautiful one and not al all r. plisive.
1t is Il solemn and reve.ential pro-
cess. There is nothing harsh aDont
it, nor anything that CRATES n.,on the
finer feelings of the unhappy mourn
ers. They see the form ot the loved
one fade into eternity amid halo of
glory. The ashes are reverentiaily
pre served and disposed of as the feel
ings and tastes may dictate. Those who
have witnessed one su IN funeral usu.
ally become converts to the new
idea-if new it be. But it will take
years to bring cremation into popu-
lar use. The people are not easily
moved out Of groove, nor easily per-
suaded to forssk old forms so thor
oughly a pant of themselves. 1t will
take hold in the larger cities first.
Necessity will there bring about the
change. The cheapness of the new
system and the expensiveness of the
old will be a great inducement to
popularize it with the poor, and the
health CT the living will force cem-
eteries further and further away
from the people until incineration
is left as the only recourse. The sys-
TEN is scientific one, commends it
self to the heart and the mind, and
will be in general use fifty years
hence.

The Knights of Labor are not a unit

for different hours. They simply in
sist upon the right to select their own

GRANTS CASE

General Grant seems 10 cOlClnueIo
improve, and the hopes are held out
that he may be restored to perfect
health. The whole country would
be rejoiced to see these hopes real
lied. But upon what are they predi-
cited? The physicians who have
charge of General Grants case are
men eminent in their profes sion and
recognized AZ skillful and experienced
practitioners. Through all the dark
days of March and April they never
said that the General must die. They
simply stated in their bulletins the
exact condition of the patient, with
out comment. So now the physi-
clans have not ventured the opinion
that the General would live. Indeed.
the physicians, vino are receiving
unmerited ridicule and criticism,
have been very conservative in their
statements. The bulletins they did
not issue of their own vOlitlOn, but
were impelled thereto by public
clamor. Like Washington, Lincoln
and Garfield, General Grant belongs
to the people, and howsoever much
the physicians might have dissp-
proved of bulletins, the public de-
mand had to be met. Beyond the
state of the pulse and the tempera-
ture, these bulletins have contained
but very little. There is one opin-
ion, however, that has been set forth
by the physicians that gives
much uneasiness: that the Geu-
erals disease is cancer. Upon this
all the physicians have agreed.
Cancer is a disease not easily mista-
ken. To say that the three able men
who attended General Grant mistOok
ali liberated sore throat for cancer is
ridiculous. The touch of the physi-
, clan will enable him to locate cancer.
Sight is not necessary. 1t is a dis
ease SO distinct as not to be mistaken.
The fact that the General is better
does not argue that the disease is not
cancer. The only known cure for
cancer is the knife of the surgeon,
"Alveloz," the sO.called South
American cancer-cure to the contrary
notwithstand ding. 1t is a taint of the
blood, however, that neither medi.
clue hor knife can reach-at least at
the present development of science.
1t is an insidious disease, whose in
roads cannot be followed nor dag
nosed. General Grant has had one
hemorrhage; possibly more. When
the disease has made its way through
the tissues and attacks the blood ves-
Sells s-the power of resistance of which
are greater than the other tissues
then the end nears. Until the fatal
hemorrhage or death from exhaust
ion. the patient may haye seasons Of
apparent Improvement and regainlng
| of strength, but the physician real
ICES that it is ephemeral, and that in
season the awful disease will do its
deadly mission. He can only sllevi-
ate pain aud build up the system.
The disease itself is beyond human
control. Those who have watched
by the side Of persons near and dear
to them VINO were afflicted with this
disease, will not be surprised at the
Generals present condition, but they
will hardly share in the hopes so gen
eral at this time. There is every rea
sou to believe that the General is
alive now only in consequence of the
skill and Intelligence and faithful

Every nation loves to dwell upon
her heroes aud to do them honor. The
world is studded with monuments
raised to the valorous as the heavens
are studded with stars. This homage
to the noble and the true does credit
to the hearts of men. The American
Express Company should emulate
the examples so bountifully set them,
by erecting a lasting monument to one
of their messengers at some promi-
nent point in Indiana. The poor
fellow Davis, who sacrificed his
life rather than open the safe of
his car to the masked robbers,
showed heroism rarely exceeded
upon the field of battle. His manly
conduct and noble death reminds lis
anew that "peace has her victories no
less renowned than war" Davis
should have a monument.
