DuSlQ6SS places, gave OppO1 AOA Z"
large number of citizens to participate
in the observance of the day. This op-
portunity was generally taken advan-
tage of, and the attendance at the eXer-
cises was unexpectedly great, the turn
out OF carriages bringing up the rear OF
the procession being unprecedently
large. The decoration OF the graves.
comprising twelve in the Cathollc
and six in the Protestant cemetery
at South Saltwater, and thlrty-11Ye
at FairvieW was performed III the morn
ing by detachment from Muller post.
q. A. R., accompanied by the drum
corps. At 2 o'clock. preceding the
formal exercises OF the day. the process
sion formed in the following order:
Gen. Samuel Hartman. marshal OF the

Regiment staff. and COmrade Myron

carriage containing Hon. William NJ.
McCIuer. the orator of the day, accom-
panied by Mayor E. W. Durant: carriage
with the vocal quartette; citizens in
carriages. When the head of the pro-
cessiOD was nearly opposite st. M1chaeFs
church the rear was sweeping around
the corner of Third and Chestnut
streets. Arriving at Fairview ceme-
tery the programme as announced In
the DAILY GLOBE yesterday was ad-
hered to. the exercises including the
yery effective recitation of two appro-
pirate selections by Mrs. G. D. Gish,an
"a Grateful Nation" sung by the quar-
tette. The overshadOWing feature was
the thoughtful. practical and eloquent
address OF Judge William NJ. McCluer.
It was not made up OF the almost un-
avOidable stale patriotic platIGudeS and
Qualifications common to such occasions.
but the speaker used the opportunity
to warn and to counsel. The point that
Judge McCluer impressed. or the lesson
that he sought to teach, was that slavery
was not the cause of the late rebellion,
but that the source of the latter was in
a lack of reverence for law and the con-
stituted authority, this irreYerence
being produced largely by incOns1derate
criticism and abuse Of all law and
authority which did not happen to
please the individual, together with a
general aCquieScence in such line OF
conduct. That evil, he said. still eX
lists among US, and is liable to produce
trouble unless it be checked. 1t is to
that end, he added, that the efforts of
all right-thinking citizens should be
directed. The speaker SAID:
For years the people who gathered
of a Sunday afternoon on the shores Of
Lake Michigan in the city of Chicago
were regaled with denunciatiOns of the
laws which secured to the wealthy the
right to possess and enjoy their accumu-
latiOnS, with eXecratlOnS and abuse OF
the courts of justice and officers OF the
law as the miniOns of purse-prOud
tyrants. These practices were allowed
to 20 on. not only without interference
of the law-and perhaps the latter may
have been pOwertess to interfere-but
without that most powerful opposition,
the expressed and solemn protest of all
right-thinking and law ana OTder-lOVlng
citiZens. until it eliminated IN the Hay
market massacre and subsequent har-
vest on the gibbet. I tell you, my
friends, there is still work for loyal and
patriotic citizens to do for the protection
and preservation of our beloved country
and its institutions"
