The problem that unrestricted immigra-
lion presents to the veterans is whether this
country for which they fought so desper-
ately and endured 80 much shall be made
battening ground for the hungry paupers of
Europe, or whether it's riches and resources
shall be reserved az heritage for our chill
dren.
To them the question presents itseIf very
much in the shape that it might occur to a
man who has toilsd all his life long to de-
velop fine farm He has hewed it out of
the wilderness, eaten the bread of toll, fru-
gality and self-denial in order to free it
from mortgages, has risen early and toiled
Late to clear it Of timber, brush, stumps,
briers and weeds; has drained it, fenced it,
planted orchards, and built barns and sta-
bles, and given large share of his earnings
every year to build railroads, common roads,
school houses, churches, etc, SO as to increase
the value of his products, and make life on
his homestead pleasant and desirable.
He has done this not for his own sake SO
much as for his children, to whom he will
leave the old homestead, free from all in
cumbrances, fine property, which viii sup
port them all IN comfort aud give them ad-
vantaees of schools churches and society,
which he and his wife were denied.
Now, how would he regard proposition
to have his children share his home equally
with an unknown number of thriftless
strangers from some remote section in whom
he he's no interest, and with whom be can
have 20 sympathy2 He may be very gem
erous, liberal man, eager to relieve distress
wherever it occurs in his neighborhood, bat
this does not imply for an instant that he il
willing to give away his childrsn's patri.

less and landless generally.
We as Nation are precisely in the posi-.
ton of that man as an individual We
sympathize with the poor and unfortunate
of other lands. We ara willing to help them
according to our means, but there is ne
requirement-human or divine-that Wa
should give up to them the country, the up
building of which has cost us so much

Not little disappointment was felt at the
strictly regulation character of Gen. sher-
idan's funeral The escort to the grave was
precisely within the provisions Of the Army
regulations for q General-in-C Chiefs funeral
"a battalion of cavalry, two batteries Of
artillery and regiment Of infantry. It was
below, if anything, this rule, for tho bat
talon Of cavalry was only represented by
two troops, and the regiment of infantry "
was only fairly strong battalion of heavy
artillery. There is no regiment of infantry
nearer Washington than the 18th, which is
stationed along the northern boundary OF
New York except the two troops stationed
at Fort Meyer, there is no cavalry east of the
Mississippi, and the War Department had
no funds to bring any troops TO Washing
ton.
The disappointment came from the ab-
sence of any participation Of the volunteers
in the demonstration. Though Gen. sheri-
dan was West Point graduate, and an Off
Ger Of the Regular Army for as years, he
was essentially volunteer General. What
he did in the Regular Army was inaignif-

The selection of the resting place Of Gen.
Sheridan was happy thought. No better
place could have been found under the
shadow of the Gag he did so much to render
glorious
It 10 lovely knoll on the brow Of the
Nights of Arlington, which oyerlooks the
broad Potomac, widening to 8 tranquil lake
as it moves majestieslly on to It's wedding
with the sea Across the shining water
rises the City ofwashington, with the wash
ington Monument cIeayiag the horizon like
a fash Of pure light in the foreground, the
stately public buildings farther on, until
the view rests upon the coIumned and domed
magnifcenoe Of the Capitol The world can
be sought over in vain for a finer view, or
one more inspiring to patriotism.
The ground in which he has been laid to
rest vas already ballowed by the graves of
10000 of his comrades, who died On the bat
tlefeld struggling for the sacred cause, III
the triumph of which it was his better for
tune to participate. BE has Fejoined in the
camp Of low green tents a mighty host
who wers mustered out amid the thunders
and the terrors of awful war.
The burial Of Gen Sheridan in the Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington wiz 60 far

Had Grant been buried there, as he should
have been. the place would now be definitely
dedicated as the last resting place Of all our
eminentsoldiery. twill probably be 50 any
way, and become to "a what the Westminster
Abbey is to England. 1t viii be the highest
aspiration Of our soldiers in all coming time
to be accorded a burial By the side Of Sher-
dan, and the Nation can accord them no
greater honor than to entomb them where
the hero of opequan and Cedar Greek and
10000 Union veterans are sleeping.

THERE is no s0ch an effective and iuss
distributor Of the surplus az the veteran.
The money that is paid him is not boarded
up IN a bank, but it is at once pat into act
i've circulation among the people by pay
ment to his doctor, grocer, landlord, butcher,
ciothier and boot aud shoe man. A hun-
dred dollars paid him speedily counts for a.
much as $1,000 By its rapid turning over in
the hands Of the people.

cant compared to his career as commander
of volunteers The opening Of the var found
him Captain in an infantry regiment
Had he remained with the Regulars he
would probably have died a Colonel. As it
was, he was only a Captain-acting as Quar-
termaster-a year after the firing on Fort
Sumter. Then good luck aud the friend
ship of such volunteer Bubordinates as Capt.
Russell a. Alger, got him the Colonelcy Of
volunteer cavalry regiment A month
after his being commissioned Colonel of the
I'd Mich. Cav. he was made Brigadier-Gen-
eral of Volunteers, and SIX months later he
was Majo General of Volunteers. The
volunteers under his command won for birn
at Opequan, in September, 1864, the rank of
Brigadier-General in the Regular Army,
and at Cedar Creek month later they
gained him promotion to Major General in
the Regular Army. His brilliant campaign
on Lees flank made him Lieutenant Gem
eral
In all these services he had practically no
Regular soldiers under his command. In
his 80 months Of service in the Western
armies he never had a company, battery or
regiment of Regulars under his command.
OF the 1913 regiments and AZ batteries he had
in the Shenandoah Valley campaign, all but
three regiments and II batteries were vol
unteers, and the proportion of volunteers
under his command in the AppomattOx cam
paign was equally great.
The volunteers have always, and natur-
ally, felt that he belonged to them great
deal more than to the Regular Army, and
they were anxious to come in overwhelm-
ing numbers to pay him the last honors.
Had their presence been invited they would
have come to Washington by tens of thou
sands from New England, New York, New
jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West vir-
