(GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
GENERAL ORDERS
NEWPORT. VT, April 25th. 1894.
The annual observance of May 30th, as a
day of sacred and tender memories, which
is very properly designated Memorial Day
again approaches our vision. With the
return Of spring comes "reminiscences OF
hurried preparations, all along the lines,
for the opening of campaigns; and we are
reminded of the scenes and incidents of
years ago, in which we were among the
actors. While the memories of those days,
and years of hardship and suffering and
sacrifice, continue with our life. we would
remember those who marched forth with
us, but come not back. This day, sacred
more than all others, to the Veterans of
the Union, should be more generally OBJ
served from year to year. There is scarce
ly cemetery in our State in which does
not rest the fallen cOmrade, whose grave
should be:
covered DER with beautiful flowers"
1t is legal holiday in oar State, and it
should not be permitted to lay aside its
solemn and beautiful rites which appeal to
the knidler and gentler instincts of loyalty
and patriotism, and which deepen and
solidify the our love for our country, and
our flag and the principles which it repre-
| SentS.
In accordance with the usages of the day,
in the Memorial services. 1t is the wish of
this Department that every Post of the G..
A. II. attend Divine Service in body upon
the Sabbath preceding Memorial Day,
where, from previous arrangements suit
able service may be rendered. Not only
members of our Order, but all who wore
blue, as well as the members of Relief
Corps together with the children and
youth, who are yet to be the SaviOurS of
our land, should be asked to attend this
Memorial service.
In the afternoon of the day preceding
Memorial Day, it Is requested that every |
public school in our State dispense with the |
usual custom of Rotations, and devote the |
afternoon to a study, or review, of the |
causes, incidents and results of the rebel |
lion. Such an afternoon service can be |
rendered very interesting and instructive
with little preparation, in readings, reci-
tatiOnS, and songs, with remarks from the |
teachers, and from one or more residents
of the district, which will prove a valuable
lesson of loyalty and patriotism, to the
young.
On Memorial Day, it is requested that all
the public and private schools, be asked to
Join in the exercises of the occasion, and
that they may be made to feel that each
has part to perform, be it only to lay
wreath or a flower above the resting place
of a cOmrade or friend.
Comrades! Let us all come together on
this day of memories, and forgetting all the
of the war endeavOr to prove
that we are now part of grand citizen
ship, earnestly striving to advance the in
tereStS of our common country, and perpet-
uating the principles underlying our Gov
and that we are still loyal to the
advancement. and glory, of our Republic. ,

Is British Trade ProsperinR.

In an article under this head the
London Spectator thus sums up the
situations: There seems to us TO be,
on the whole, little Justification for
either optimism or pessimism as re-
cards trade prospects. The nation
Is doing a great trade-greater than,
with small exceptions, IT has ever
done befOre-but not so great In pro-
portion to Its rapidly increasing popu.
lation. There is an immediate pros.
pect Of still further decline In the
yield of our agriculture, and as yet
no immediate prospect OF a compen.
satlng rise in the producing powers
OF manufacture and trade. Still,
such prospects are never visible from
afar, and they may appear at any
moment. There is no excuse for pes.
simism, but there is not much for
optimism, for any optimism at least
would render us insensible to the
duty Of prudence, of forbearance, of
moderation in treating the difficulties
between class and class. In the
meantime we can rejoice that the
laboring class is securing more of its
due than 1t has ever yet secured, and
yet for the present the pinch falls
upon those classes which are not
without resources. though their re.
sources are rapidly dwindling In
their hands"
