A rYpICAL AMERIcAN.

Chauncey III. Depew introduced Gen. r.
A. Alger to the Prince of Wales as typi-
cal American" This, which was an accurate
description of Comrade Alger, is as high
praise as can be given any man.
In every sense he is representative
American of the best class. He ia a clear
cut, high principled, broad-brained man, full
of love for his country and Der Institutions,
in strong sympathy with his fellow-man,
and anxious to do his part in everything
The National tribune., 1888-06-14

that promises to benefit the country and his
fellow-citizens
He is a typical American in being self
educated and self-made,-in the zeal and
courage with which he fought in the great
struggle, in his prompt return to civil life,
when the war was over, and the splendid
ability and enterprise of his business career.
Our boys can find no better model by
which to shape their careers than Russell
A. Alger.

A STRENGTHENING FEELING.

A STRENGTHENING FEELING.
The marked growth of interest manifested
by our whole people in the recent celebra-
ton of Memorial Day has had gratifying
effect upon the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and from all the Departments come
pleasant reports of great increase in numbers
and the organization of new Posts since that
event.
This is natural, and as it should be.
The veterans, feeling that the people are at
last arriving at a better appreciation of
themselves and their great work, are en-
couraged. There is something more for
them to live for, and they are drawn still
more strongly by the ties of comradeship
with the men who were associated with
them in the great achievement of winning
for the country its prosperity and glory.
This feeling will rapidly deepen from year
to year. Public interest in the war, in the
veterans individually, and the GAR. as o
whole, is continually rising. We are get
ting so far away from the war that its true
proportions begin to appear. We at last
recognize it as the most colossal war ever
fought, and filled fuller with pure self-sacri-
fee, patient endurance and lofty courage.
In 1865 and the years Immediately after
it was so common thing to have gone
through battles bloodier than any in the
worlds history, to have played hero'a
part on many fields that those who did SO
received scant credit.
Since then we have studied the conflict
closely. We have counted up the dead, the
MANNED, the disabled, the widows and
orphans; we have compared the fighting
with that of other peoples in other wars
we have pondered over the dreadful results
that were averted at such awful cost; and
| every one of these facts has been a eulogy o.
the men who served from 1861 to 1865 II
is seen now that our own fathers, brothers
and sons were race of heroes, whose
achievements have never been surpassed Oh
even equaled. The more the history of thu
great conflict is studied, and the more closely
it is compared with similar events in his
tory, the more clearly this will appear; ant
the farther we get from the war the NOR
reason our people viii gee for honoring tn
men who fought it through.
We are particularly glad to see the frs
fruits of this a swelling of the ranks 0
the GAR. Every honorably
wearer of the blue should be member 0
that noble Order. His place on Memoria
Day and at similar observances is in tn
ranks with those with whom he stood
quarter of century ago. 1t should be hi
pride and pleasure to be there, and W
ardently hope that by next Memorial Da
there will not be veteran outside tn
Order who is within reach of any regularly
organized Post

LAST Monday Gen. @. Fl. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, showed what a jealous friend of the
veteran may do toward waking up the House
as to its duty toward the soldiers. He made
up his mind he was going to have some at
tention given pension matters, and when
the soldier-haters headed him off in one
direction, he bided his time. The report
of the bill to regulate the police of the Dis
trict of Columbia gave him his oppor-
tunity. He was on his feet in an instant,
with an announcement that he would oppose
the bill This gave him the right to the
floor and an hours time His opponents
saw his advantage, and offered to compro-
mise by giving him what they had refused
an hour before. But he was infexible, and
made splendid arraignment of the majority
for their neglect to do their duty by the
soldiers. We publish his speech elsewhere.
