The Silver Encampment Worthy to be
 Called Perfect Success

Forty Little Girls Felt the Grizzled Vet erans With Flowers One Company Carry the old Springfield duskets They Used in the wnr-The COlored Line a PerpIexinE Question This Year.
 DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 4.-The veterans are here and we are theirs is 8 sentiment that Is echoed throughout this oity.
 The principal streets are not only blaz ing with the national colors In every conceivable design and degree of pro- fuseness on either side, but immense flags and shields almost obscure the sight in gazing up the centre, owing to 'cross- s-stringing."
 Not only are business places univers- ally decorated, but private residences on the main streets are literally hid bunting.
 There are four handsome triumphal arches spanning important streets, which are models of taste and elegance. One, spanning Fort street, near Gris- wold, is surmounted by an elaborate Florida display of tropical plants, and during the parade to-day A beautiful girls filled 1t and pelted the vets with roses.
 The Great Parade.
 The parade opened this morning with 40, 900 men in line-all old veterans Lot a single military company turning out.
 Every street within three blocks of the line of march was closed by the proclama- tion of the mayor, and intrusion was further guarded against by the roping of of the section and the stationing of strong armed guard at each street inter- section. One company, that from Union City, Mich, appeared in heavy marching arms, with the old Springfield muskets and the same accoutrements as they wore when they marched out of Detroit in the stormy days when men were needed and Michigan did its duty.
 Music Everywhere.
 With its streets full of marching men, with every house quartering R veteran, with the strains of music floating on every breath of the wind and with the sound of the drum and the shrill- note of the fife in the air, Detroit Is experiencing a time the like of which it has ever seen before and will never see again. Thanks for the perfect arrangements there is room for all with plenty to eat and noth- ing lacking to make the silver encamp- ment worthy of the name of perfect suc- cess.
 The "Color" Question.
 Everybody is so busy here that the question of drawing the color line in the G. A. R. is practically receiving no at tention. Not only are the newspapers so occupied with other matters that the sub ject is dwarfed, but until the posts all get in and settled and the parade is over, they have little thought for the matter that the fight is a coming issue.
 The Southern men seen nearly all be- lieve that the negro has got to go into a department by himself, but to what ex- tent they are organized cannot at present be determined.
