Decorating the Graves of veterans-The
Parade and Exercises in Bennington
Other Incidents of the Day.
Memorial Day has come and gone
again, with its spoken tributes to the
memory of the gallant dead, and its
silent but fragrant gifts of flowers for
the graves in which they sleep. The
lapse of years has brought with it some
measure of relief for personal bereave-
ments which, if felt always with their
keenest poignancy, might be too heavy
for human nature to endure. In like
manner it works some changes in the
feelings of people. 1t may easily have
been that in the first years in which this
day was kept, somewhat too much of
the resentments and animosities of the
great struggle may have mingled with
the grief which found expression in the
observance. Time has softened, if it
has not obliterated, these feelings. 1t
has become possible for those who
fought upon one side in that great con-
test to appreciate the sincerity, the cour'
age and the manliness of those who
were arrayed against them. Frequently,
of recent years. this appreciation has
been tittingly manifested by veteran or
CARNATIONS on either side. But no
changes OF this kind diminish or in any
way affect the nations gratitude for the
loyalty and gallantry and devotion of
are honored to-day, and will be honored
years to come, not only because they
were brave in the hour of need and did
not count their lives dear to them, but
because the cause for which they fought
was right and noble, and the blessings
of freedom and union and prosperity
which we now enjoy are the fruit of
their sacrifices.
The exercises in Bennington this year
were of an enlarged nature. The SER
vice of the &. A. r. was said in the
Hinsdellville yard for the first time; af |
terward in the old Revolutionary GEM
etery at Bennington Center. This COM
pIeted the duties of the morning.
In the afternoon the procession was
formed on Union and South streets, and
moved to the village cemetery in the
following order:
Chief Marshal and Aides.
Citizens Band of Berlin.
Sons of Veterans.
Veterans of the Soldiers Home.
Young Cadets.
Post Custer, G. A. r.

Another q. r. Accident.

Yesterday there was another
terrible smash up on the G. P. near
Wadsworth. 1t appears that the
fast train known as "rhe Flyer"
was trying to pass crossing, a big
farm wagon came along at brisk
trot and running into the cars
knocked the locomotive off the
track and frightened the passengers
almost to death.
The farmer who owned the wag-
on says that he called as loud as
he could to the train when nearly
a quarter OF a mile away, but it was
unable to get steam on quick
enough to escape.
The engineer says he put on a
full head of steam and tried hard
to get out OF tie way but the horses
came to fast.
"The FLYER" is the fastest train

The Chronicle is still adhering tc
its proposition to flood the county
with foreign labor. 1t argues the
case with the air of man who
knows he is wrong but lacks the
courage to confess it.
The Chronicle denounces the
American idea as ''Know Nothing
ISM" and the Democrats vino en-
dorse this idea hope to catch the
foreign vote. They were never
more mistaken in their lives. The
strongest adherents to the Ameri-
can idea are the foreigners them
selves. They have secured a
good thing here, and they are
shrew6 enough TO see that if they
shut out their own countrymen
thsy will continue to keep . good
thing and not snfer from competi-
ton. They are delighted with the
American movement, and viii cast
their votes solidly with the party
that advocates it.

THEMSELVES 20 BLAME.

The failure OF the strike of the Loco
motive Engineers against the Bur
lington Road, is alone the fault OF
the Brotherhood and Arthur, its
Chief. When last year the knights
of Labor struck, the Brotherhood OF
Engineers violated the principles of
the Order and sent its men to
take the places of the strikers. The
Brotherhood under the circum-
stances could hardly look for as
sistance from an Order they had
knitted SO badly. and when they
called on the knights for help it
was withheld. Hence the failure of
the strike. Had they kept their
hands off the Knights strike they
would have won their fight. Thus
they have only themselves to thank
for bad generalship.
The weak thing about the big labor
unions is that each union looks out
for itself and ignores other unions.
The Knights would have shown a
magnanimous spirit to have buried
the past and stood by the Brother
hood, but they did not, because re-
taliation is human nature all the
world over. When these various
labor organizations stop Quarrelisg
and unite under one head. they will
be invincible. They will never do
it, however, and the monopolies are
well aware of the fact. As long as
they keep Quarreling and sulking
the monopolies will continue to die
tate wages.

TEE PEARL PAGE CASE.

Some months ago 4 cyprian in
Oregon known as "Pearl Page" was
arrested for inveigiing business
man into her net and robbing him.
She was convicted OF the robbery,
when it was discovered that she
was the wife OF leading merchant
in San Francisco. While in San
Francisco in the Summer she moved
in the best society, but in the Win
ter she HE'D to Oregon and piled
her vocation OF lust ard robbery.
From the fact that she was re-
specially connected cat the Bay"
she las been pardoned by the Gov
ernor. Just on what grounds ex-
ecutive clemency was exercised it is
hard to say, but coupled with the
pardon was stipulation that she
should leave the State and change
her mode of living.
The only way such q woman
could "change her mode Of living"
would be to move in good society in
Portland and run n1aison de joie

Philadelphia Press: The strike which
began at Port Richmond last Friday and
which hiss since spread all along the line
Of the Reading Railroad, is one Of the
most in6efensible yet initiated. The
question at issue is moi
one of wages, nor primarily is
it the right OF the railroad TO en-
ploy nom union hands. The company's
oHense consists in delivering freight to q
firm which employs non-union men. In
other words the strike Is an attempt to
make railroad company take up the
quarrels of the Knights OF Labor, and in
the face OF its obllgstions as common
carrier end insurer to refuse to take or
deliver freight to those persons, firms or
companies with which the Knights may
happen TO be at odds.

AN UNNECESSARY STRIKE.

PhilsGelphia Record: The most re-
markable thing about the contest between
the Reading Railroad Company and its
striking employees is the Iawless disregard
evinced by both parties to the quarrel
toward the public which they serve. The
company having replenished its treasury
by delivering and selling large qusntity
Of coal, at rates unjustly and op-
pressively advanced beyond fair
profit on the cost of services rendered,
finds itself in situation in which 1t may
ssfely change it's policy of concession to-
ward Its workingmen 70 q policy OF re-
preston. On the other hand the work
ingmer, stimulated by sense Of power
growing out of secret organizations, and
by successes in dictation, have sought out
cause CT quarrel by interfering with
matters OF business management which
are and should be solely within the con-
troll Of the Reading officials.
Coal being necessary of living, upon
the supply of which millions OF people are
de pendent, and it's production and trans
portation being the sole reliance OF thou
sands, an unprej JUDGED observer would
have thought that in the dead OF winter,
when widespread suffering was likely to
ensue from q stoppage, nothing short Of
Irresistible compusion would hEye in
duced either party TO suspend operations.
But the matter of difference is as trivisl,
compared with the force brought 20
bear to settle II, as mole-hill set
over against mountain. There has been
manifested an alacrity TO sacrifice the in
terest of coal consumers and TO leopard
lie the business prosperity Of sll depend
ent interests that is perfectly astounding;
and which shows that the Management! Of
the Reading Railroad Company end the
opposing corporation CT the Knights OF
Labor pursue their own mistaken ideas
Of what is best for themselves, with en-
tire disregard Of what Is best for the
people who are compelled to buy and
use anthracite ceaI.
In our present knowledge of the cause
OF the disagreement it is impossible 10
give the employees of the Reading Com
psny that natural sympathy which usually
falls to the share of labor n its struggles

Company is constantly drawing
unearned su5tenance from the in
