earth are beauty and grace and purity
and strength" And when the red, white
and blue emblems are thrown into the
floral fields of nature a harmony so per-
feet is created that profusion either in
bunting or in roses cannot lead to q loss
of balance in the ensemble. To the SOL
dier's mind this ming1ing of colors as
loving hands plant flowers beside the
little Grand Army markers at the graves
of fallen comrades brings up the idea of
re-enforcements, as though the story of
heroism, and of devotion, and of victory
recalled by Old Glory was being repeat
ed again and again by each cluster of
bright petals that share with it the gen.
tie airs of heaven.
Naturally whenever a soldiers eye
lights upon the starry banner his
thoughts go back to war days. He sees
in it facsimile of the one borne in front
of his regiment in every charge. Yet it
was not battlefag in the strict sense of
the word when he followed it to the guns
or unfurled it upon the line of battle.
Men looked up to it as the representative
of what the nation was fighting for
rather than signal for combat, chal-
lenge to hostility. Now that the strife
is thing of the far past the battlehags
are relics and the stars and stripes live
symbol of live ideas. All this is shown
in the memorial observances, when the
flag and its defenders are honored
through the same act and in the same
breath that glorifies the reign of peace.
Flowers come in with settled peace, and
love and tenderness are the meaning they
convey.
The sentiments of Decoration day are
and should be intensely patriotic and
not martial, conservatively peaceful and
not aggressive. The dead are to be re-
membered and honored because they
fought for principle and not because
by any word or act they betrayed love
of glory 1t is the emblem of undying
affection, sprig of evergreen, that is
first placed upon the warriors grave as
a token from the living when the Grand
Army opens the ceremony. Then follows
the white rose to symbolic the purity
and unselfsh devotion of the patriot
dead. Lastly the laurel of victory, token
of triumph that is the reward of purity
and proof of devotion. Victory crowned
the soldiers trials and made the men,
DRY of them worth preserving.

Civil Service As 1t Is.

A dispatch from Bloomington to
the Chicago Tribune conveys in
telligence, which shows how eX-
tremely lovely the Harrison idea OF
civil service is working in a practical
sense under the new regime. The
special which is appended will be
read with peculiar interest by those
of the present attaches of the Rock
Island postoffice who are to partici-
pate in civil service examinations
the present week:
Postmaster John Eddy received a
telegram from Washington last night
advising him that his list of appoint
ments of clerks. carriers, and sub
stitutes in his office, which he re-
Gently forwarded to the department,
had been approved and that he might
at once proceed to fill all the posi-
tions in his office with democrats
This settles the question of civil
service in great many postof1ices-
1t has heen contended that under
civil service rules carriers could not
be removed for political reasons.

THIS is the day when not the soldier
alone pays tribute to his dead COM
rade, but q grateful nation unites in
bestowing evidences of affection and
gratitude on those who died that
their country might live. ''All

ting sentiment of the day.

American Comments.

When the telegraphie dispatch
about the steamer Alexandria firing
on the U. $. 5. Mohican in the
Behring sea was received in the
Eastern states, it was generally dis
credited. The following noted gem
tlemen gave their opinions as fol-
lows
Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll when
shown the dispatch chronicling the
disabling of the Mohiean by the
Hawaiian steamer Alexandria ex-
pressed doubt as to the truth Of the
dispatch. He added IF the rum
or is true, then we had better settle
the trouble by annexing the Ha-
waiian islands. We ought to own
these islands, because they would
give US the control of the Pacific.
So 1 am in favor of our having
Cuba and all the West India ISL
ands."
Judge Noah Davis: in the first
place, I think it is an unfounded
report. l do not believe 1t. Second,
it seems to be q Hawaiian story,
but it cannot have any influence on
the question and proceeding rela-
tive to the sealing question. 1t
seems to be, from the statement, an
act of individuals not sanctioned
or authorized BY any government
in power. II is more an act Of
piracy, and has no dangerous con-
nection with the sealing complica-
tons before the commissioners.
Our government will probably ask
the question of Hawaii and pro-
coed accordingly. In regard to an
nexation we should require all
those islands to maintain order,
otherwise we should take them in
hand"
Gen. Kirwin said IF true it is
an act Of piracy / think IL i'm
probable that a six-pound shot could
disable the machinery Of the No
hican. IF true the government
ought to capture the vessel. l don't
believe the Hawaiian government
is responsible. I believe our gov
eminent should annex all islands,
and Pacific, Cuba, etc,
that could be used to advantage by
an enemy in time Of war"

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,
The President in Possession of
Minister BIourt's Report.

The President in Possession of
Minister BIount's Report.
A late issue Of the Washington
Star says that several Of Minister
Blount's reports had been received
st the state department snd his
final report was on its way 10
Washington.
The reports already received
have been transmitted to the Presi-
dent ST Buzzsrd's bay, so that he
is in full possession OF information
simply sufficient to guide him in
the formation of $ policy toward
the Provisional government of Ha-
waii on the general question of
annexation. 1t is not at all I'M
probable that the President will
send special message 10 congress
st the extra session. The know
ing ones assert it As : fact that
the President is opposed to the an
nexation of the islands, but is will
ing 10 exercise 3 guardianship over
them sufficient TO prevent inter
ference on the part Of any other
foreign government
The opinion prevails in official
circles in Hawaii and elsewhere
that after receiving Minister
Blount's final report, President
Cleveland will resubmit exPresi-
dent Harrison's treaty of annexa-
ton, or some modification thereon,
to the senate.
It Is learned Secretary Lamont
spent nearly two hours with Secre-
tary Gresham late Yesterday after
noon (July 18th and the pre-
sumption is that ne conveyed an
important message from the Presi-
dent 70 the secretary Of state on
our foreign relations, which are
occupying much public attention
just at present. The probability is
that the conference was devoted
principally TO the consideration OF
the Hawaiian annexation project.
