OF grateful and patriotic people come to
do homage to their departed heroes. No
more appropriate tribute could be paid them
than by this simple service of decorating
their graves.
This practice can be traced back to the
time of the Greeks, who imposed law re-
duiring homage to be paid to their dead
soldiery. Their bones We're carefully gath
cred, were inclosed in cypress collins, and,
when transported to the suitable places,
services were held al which the most noted
orators spoke of the deeds of the heroes.
The establishment of the American me-
mortal service was largely due to John A.
Logan. who, in 1868. when he was conf
mander-n-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, issued an order that all posts
should decorate the graves of their dead.
Col. Lincoln spoke in eloquent strain for
some time. and concluded with the state
ment that he would not object to the con-
federates erecting monuments to their
dead, for as long as those monuments stand
they should be a perpetual reminder of the
unholy attempt against the Union and its
signal failure.
At Gen. LOEan's Tomb.
Rev. Walter Hopper, esp, pronounced
a benediction, after which the audience adj
journed to the tomb of Logan, near the
gate of the cemetery, where a special serv
ice was held. This service was under the
direction of the following committees: Lo-
gan guard of honor, F. A. Beuter, r. w.
!
jeff. Thomas D. w. Houghton, r. d. Good
man. Aaron Stern; committee from Legion
of Loyal Women Mrs. Electa Smith, chair
man: Mrs. NJ E. Jenkins. Mrs. NJ. Palmer
Crabb. Mrs. Mccullough and Mrs. Caroline
Nye. Music was furnished by male quar-
tet led by Mr.. Gilbert Clark, after which
Representative Prince of Illinois made an
address. Mr.. Prince said In part:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow-citiZens: Vol
unfairly, lovingly and loyalty have
come to pay our tribute of respect to him
who lies buried here. Yonder, from elO
quent lips. have heard the story Of he
roism of those who died that country
might remain one and inseparable.
ut seems to me it would not be proper
here and now to speak at length concern
ing Memorial day. However. 1t might not
be out of place to speak briefly Of the char
acter of the men who made up our army,
north and SOUTH of the work they did and
of the great good resulting to our country
from that fierce, cruel and fratracidal war.
They were unlike the soldiery who fol-
lowed the fortunes of the first Napoleon.
They were not mercenaries. They were

fortunes of 'hairbreadth escapes from the
imminent deadly BREACH of being taken
by the insolent foe,' and we think we have
q fair idea of what sclf-sacrifice and cour-
age, under such circumstances, really
mean. But how feeble is our grasp of
these things compared with yours!
Through the mists of thirty years Won
look back today to that crisis in your his
tory when, at your country's call, you took
up arms in defense Of the integrity of the
Union. Your eyes grow moist as you pic
ture the scene Of your parting with kindred
and friends. And you remember your
varied experiences on the march and in
camp; the lonely watches by night and
day; the exhaustion of battle. the falling
