In his Grafton at the laying Of the corner
stone Of the Washington memorial arch in
New York city on Decoration Day, George
William Curtis said
Whether the flowers fall to-day upon the
graves Of the blue or the gray, they fall on
the dust of Americans. As nothing but
American valor could have hoped success
fully 20 asssil the Union, so nothing but
American yalor could have successfully
maintained IT, Thank God whatever col
Ors We may have worn In the past, to-day
the sun shines upon a nation which is all
true blue
The spirit Of Mr., Curtis words contrasts
sharply with the malice OF demagoguery of
Republican congressman who used the days
opportunity for speech-making in various
places to revive sectional hatred fof partisan
purposes. A notable example was the adj
dress Of Senator Ingalls, at the battlefield Of
Gettysburg-the scene Of a victory Of Fed
eral forces due in no small part to Hancock
whom Ingalls, in the Senate DETAINED be-
cause Of difference in political opinions.

A Republican contemporary wonders why
Democratic papers interested in political
purity don't drop the Quay matter and in
vestigste the record of Cal. Brice and other
Democratic leaders Undoubtedly the re-
cord Of any Democratic leader would show
a much larger proportion of political purity
than Senator Quay's, but the Democratic
press is pursuing political and moral turpi-
tude lust now and seems to be on the right
track. We don't see why the Quay case
should be dropped at present; it certainly
isn't necessary TO enter pote pros. for lack
of evidence.

So too when "Dixie" and the "Bonny

doubt Of the loyalty of these warm-blooded

rHE STARS AN STRIPES.

The wells and huzzas that greeted the old
faded and tattered battle-hags were repeated
for the glorious national emblem, and when
one or two old commands of veterans, whose
record needed no written page for glorifca-
ton, came along with the stars and stripes
beside the stars and bars, tear drops started
% many an eye, and the voice that would
have cbeercl WAS checked with emotion.
This is no fancy picture In the mass of

MEMORIES OF TIE PAST.

There was besides the mere pOmp and
glory that delighted the eye and charmed
the ear. something deeper in sentiment than
the mere display put before the beholders.
Here we're passing in review thousands Of
men who helped to make history, and some
scores of those from whose lips dropped the
words of command that shaped its course.
These leaders, wrinkled snd hoary-headed.
whose firm hands had grssped the hilt in
sterner times, were answering their recall
before the curtain at the hands of those for
whom they fought. 1t may be predicted
with considerable certainty that the next
occasion Of such widespread interest as the
one i'm Richmond cannot occur in the South
again before the sod is laid upon those who
were most houored to-day. Therefore when
leaders of the age of Early, Beauregard or
Lougstreet were singled out and cheered to
the echo. the sound was as much a farewell
as a greeting as much benediction as a
welcome. So also was there an underlying
spirit felt in the cheering Of colors aud of
tunes.

Spccial Dislqich 10 tic Baltimore SIN.
RICHMOND, VA, May 29-The great
procession of veterans and volunteers, dis
tinguished civic societies, fireman and dis
tinguished guests was so great that it can
be call nothing less than a gigantic outpour-
inc of the entire Southern people. With a
blaze Of trumpets and the flashing ofswords
and accoutrements the parade passed down
the streets between solid masses of specta-
tors. Thousands Of men, Of whom about
eight thousand we're animated relics of the
war were in the line, and though the head
of the procession arrived at the monument
promptly at two o'clock, the end was not at
the disbanding point at five o'clock.
THE CHEERING.
Never was a procession more fraught with
interest: never was one more inspiring
never has one evoked more spontaneous en-
thusiasm. The cheers and cries ofthe popu-
lace burst forth afresh with almost frantic
yigor whenever some new sensation was
stirred and some old association revived.
Everybody seemed to feel it personal busi-
ness to cheer and keep cheering, and cheer
they did to their hearts content. Hur-
rahs were caught up from adown the ave-
nues. and they rolled in massive reverbera-
tions far in the other direction, until the
source was no longer known. Then, when
the stirring troop of veterans, the beloved
leader of old, the majestic marching of some
young company Of braves or some ancient
war relic hove into view, the sound that
started again was aroused with greater in
tensity than before.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Desp to the statement
Of William O'Brien to the United Press last
night that with his colleagues he would
leave for New York to-day, all the Irish en-
voys are still occupying their quartefs at
the Grand Pacific Hotel. The change OF
programme was due TO dispatch
received before daybreak from Justin
Mccarthy, 10 the effect that solu-
ton Of the existing difficulty was being
considered which would enable the delegn-
ton to resume its tour Of the country with
out sacrificing the political position or self
respect OF those OF its members whose
signatures were attached TO tho
anti-Painell manifesto. Whether this
referred to the compromise pro-
position that was probably defeated
by the London meeting to-day Mr. VBrien
would not say; but nj later hour tonight
it was given out that the future movements
0f the visitors were more uncertain than
they had been at any time for the past twen-
ty-four hours. although 1t was probable that
Harrington would leave for the East to-
morrow. The cable dispatches received
during the day were not OF y reassuriug

tween Dillon. OBrieu, and Mccarthy, and

between Lord CarnaryOn and Mr.. Parnell
as To "A hat occurred between them at their
confidential interview some years ago. lie
said no Liberal then thought II scandal 10
believe Mr.. Parnelrs statements, and why
sho,ld they think so now: Mr.. GladstOn
denial did not amount to much. 1t was
due largely 10 the brilliant hues OF his own
imagination, and ought TO he received with
certain amount of judieious criticism.
Referring 20 the proposals in regard to
Irish affairs then made bv Mr.. Gladstone,
as diyulgcd by Mr.. Parnell, Lord Salisbury
declared that the land question would be a
subordinate one IL an Irish Parliament had
control Of the police, because the control OF
the police includes the control Of all legis-
latiOn in regard to property. Mr.. Glad
stones proposals, his IOidsbip asserted,
were ingenious. and he was surprised that
Parnolfs virtue had compelled him TO re-
fu-e them. Had they been carried into
effect. every landlord in Ireland would have
concluded that il would be a very adydn-
tageous bargain 10 sell his land at one-tenth
Of its present value.

meniary meeting today on his amendment,
Mr.. Clancy announced that he had author

Redmond confirmed blr. Clancy's
statement. Mr.. Sexton said that
the announcement had given him great
qualification and enabled him TO hope that
Mr. rarnel would voluntarily resign his
position under circumstances, making 1t
possible for those differing with him now 10
agree that be made his retirement from pub
lie life a means OF obtaining advantage to
his country.

the earliest moment possible, consonant
with the liberties Of the country, to call nlm
back 20 his proper place as leader OF the

Mir. Chance held that the Clancy proposal
raised false issue and could rot possibly
