Sons of Ex-presidents.

An eastern journal recently took
occasion to discuss the question of
providing for the sons of ex-Presi-
dents. 1t need not necessarily be
regarded as unfortunate to be the
son of an ex-President, as Presidents
are in position to educate their
children and prepare them for the
duties and responsibilities devolving
upon them as good citizens. Though
Robert T. Lincoln was doubtless
made Secretary of War, and after
ward Minister to the Court of St.
James, because he was a son of
Abraham Lincoln, he made a credit
able record, and would by his law
practice have been able to provide
for himself and family had he not
been given any government appoint
ment. Fred Grant was rendered the
position of Assistant Secretary of
War under the present administra-
ton, but declined to ac ept ii and
now has a comfortable position
under the municipality of New
York. When President Mckinley
inquired of a son of ex-President
Hayes what he wanted, his reply
was that all he wanted was to be let
alone. In great Republic like
this an ex-President's son enjoys the
same opportunities-or at least as
good a chancellor getting on in the
world "a their distingnishAd fn.h~--
enjoyed, and it is probable that all
concern manifested by metropolitan
journals in relation to their being
able to make a comfortable living is
unnecessary anxiety. Robert Lin
coin, the Grant boys, and Webb
Hayes, are doubtless independent
enough to need no special provision
of any character whatever for theii
maintenance, and that this is so is
to their credit.

Decoration Day.

The unwavering interest in Deco
ration Day manifested by the loyal
people of the United States is en-
couraging evidence of the fact that
the fire Of patriotism continues to
glow with fervency which augurs
well for the future of the Nation.
The annual tribute of respect
remembrance and honor to the
heroic dead who periled their own
lives that their country might live
is an instructive lesson to the rising
generation, and will continue to be
to generations yet unborn. Yet
those who have entered upon the
great drama of life since the close o.
the armed conflict which threatened
the perpetuity of the government
can never realize the terrible sacrifice;
involved in the bequest of their fore
fathers of free and united country
Of which the glorious stars and
stripes is an honored emblem. The
exercises incident to the day Sc
apart for concentrating the deeds
of valor and heroic sacrifices made
by the gallant veterans of the lat
war are eminently fitting, and thu
ficral offerings are touching tributes
to the memory of as brave phalan'
of patriots as ever responded to thei
country call--the volunteer soldier
in the war of the great rebellion
The ranks of those who survived tn
terrible conflict are being rapidly
decimated by he ravages of tim
and disease, and the time is rapidly
approaching when much that is nos
being done by survivors in tn
Grand Army of the Republic mus
be delegated TO Others, but so lon
as the desire for liberty and unit.
pervade the American people so Ion
will they revere the memory of thos
who risked their all for its ascend
ancy in the greatest Republic know
in history. All honor to the nobl
dead.

fiuence and moved him with more

fiuence and moved him with a more
intimate and lasting impression.
Those were times that tried mems
souls. The influence of the great
civil war was an all-pervading force
throughout all the land. 1t dominated
the literature, the thoughts, the con-
yersation, the lives of men. It's sub
lime reality was an Overwhelming
potency that subordinated or involved
every other interest. In the mael-
strom of its surging forces men and
women were living in agonized ex-
pectancy Its influence was upon
every person in the land. But it af-
fected the soldier who fought the bat
ties Of the war with most vital inti-
macy.
How the call TO arms stirred the
blood in the veins of menl How the
burning words of patriotic eloquence,
''the music of the boisterous drums,
the silver voices Of the heroic bugles,"
aroused to gallant action! And the
swarming thousands thronged into
the camps from the noisy city and the
quiet country side. donned the blue,
said good bye to friends, lingering not
in the embrace of sister, mother, or
sweetheart:
Farewell a while. my bonnie darling
One long, close kiss and depart;
hear the angry trumpet snarling.
The drum beat tingles at my heart !"
And gayly away they marched to 'the
stirring strains of martial music
under the starry flag, the brave ban
ner of the free. Down into the in
surgent Southland they marched,
those boys in blue, a million strong
of whom three hundred thousand came
not back. Down through that hostile
country where dangers dire and num-
erous threatened they marched, with
song and jest and rollicking abandon.
Their hearts became steeled to scenes
of blood, their faces set with rigorous
determination whether defeat or
victory met them in the fury of the
fight. The soil of many a southern
field became tinged in crimson, the
blood of the hearts of "the flower of
the land" To-day so many OF those
thronging thousands, beautiful and
glorious to memory, sons and brothers,
friends and lovers, slumber in heroic
graves, upon which the tender loving
of the living shower precious flowers
blessed by their hearts divine affec-
tiOns.
"Him shall no sunshine from the fields of
aZuTe,
No drum beat from the wall,
No morning gun from the black fort's EN-
brasure
Awaken with its call. ("
The stirring memory of those event
full years is replete with living in
terest. We see again the long array
of bronzed veterans marching in
serried ranks with glittering steel,
the faunting flags flashing in the sun
light We hear the far off strains
of martial music, the tramp OF
those grand battalions, the sullen
roar of the booming guns, the screech-
ing shells, the crash of musketry, the
confused onthundering sweep OF
scures the vision.
