Guard the Statue Now?

The human tide that flooded our streets
last week is now almost ebbed.
The Goth of May with its rapturous JOYS
viii not soon be forgotten. Heavens sun
never shone brighter and mems hearts
were never blither and eayer than IN these
hours when comrades come long miles 10
grasp the hands and look into the bronzed
faces of those whom they have not seen
since the hours of sacrifice and patriotic
privation together.
How fond the memories that have been
recalled! How quickly the warm clutch
of a comrades hand, calloused by the tots
of a quarter of a century, brought the
light OF other days around them"
Memorial services finished all that the
South was specially called to Richmond 10
do. On Thursday they did honor TO their
beloved commander. Friday witnessed
canal manifestations Of love and Devotion
to the comrades buried at Hollywood.
And now 1t is time 10 say good-oy since
the great reilnion here at the unvelllng OF
the Jackson statue the ranks of the old
army have been greatly reduced. Men who
fought as bows thirty years AGO are now
tinged with gray. In the natural courseo OF
things the present survivors Will soon be
gathered unto those already blyouacked
on eternity's sacred fields. No wonder,
then. that much SADNESS crept into the
partings.
WHO WILL GUARD THE STATUE.
For the present n detail of veterans from
the Soldiers Home are on duty as guard at
the Lee monument.
This is necessary in order 10 prevent
relic hunters from defacinc the work.
Tomorrow the Executive Committee OF
the association will have a meeting and In
all probability will make some arrange
ments to put permanent guard over the
statue.
