Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-31
A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Memorial day was observed in Los
Angeles with all the ceremonies of ten
der respect offered to the names of the
dead soldiers that the most devoted
lover of his country could exact. All
the cemeteries were visited by thous-
ands of veterans, as well as by great
professions of ladies and children, and
every grave where reposed the re-
mains of a hero of the great conflict
was tenderly decked with flowers.
The incidents of the day are fully
set forth in our local columns, and dis
patches from all parts of the union show
that the day was universally and appro-
priately observed. Every anniversary
of this day shows more and more that it
is becoming a fixed general holiday.
Business ceases, and the whole commu-
nifty join in concentrating the great
events that caused it to be set apart as
national and solemn festival.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-31

THE last number of Judge, Russell
Harrison's pictorial paper, shows some
desire to make the dmende honorable to
Blaine. 1t contains cartoon repre-
senting the Plumed Knight as the
strong man of the Republican party,
raising an immense pair of dumb bells,
on one end of which is the word "re
ciprocity," and on the other "protec-
tion." The order has evidently gone
out to the young men who control this
publication that Blaine must no longer
be insulted. The indignation of the fol-
lowers of the man from Maine has
reached the white house, and the presi-
dent has started in to undo the work so
insultingly prosecuted during his western
tour. 1t remains to be seen whether
coarse fattery will efface the still
coarser affronts which have been wreak-
ed upon the head of the secretary of
state, both in Judge and Frank Leslie's
Illustrated, both publications controlled
by the Harrison family.

The amateurs of Los Angeles gave
our people a most remarkable exhibi-
ton of athletic games and foot races yes
terday at Agricultural park. The young
competitors lowered the Pacific coast
record in several particulars yesterday
and were clearly praiseworthy in every
thing they undertook. The Los An
geles Athletic club deserves great praise
for the very excellent programme of
field sports they presented, and the
public paid deserved compliment to
the club by attending the track in larger
numbers than we have seen there for
many day.
