voice to the War Department, includ-
ing the famous flag and the fair wealth
er flag in the returns. The Secretary
of War promptly ordered the return Of
the flags to the major, accompanying
them with q letter in which he said
that they could not be in better keep
ing than in the hands Of the man who
so CALAMITY defended them.
Major Anderson had the flags placed
in the vaults of the Metropolitan Bank
in New York, and there they remained
until 1t was evident that General Sher-
man would wiring Fort Sumter from the
dying grasp Of the Confederacy. The
flag was again sent South, and on the
day the Confederates surrendered the
fort Ii was again hoisted to the peak
of the flag pole by Major Anderson
himself.
This happened on April IA, 1865, ex-
actly four years to the day from the
evacuation. A salute Of 100 guns was
fired at the fort in honor of the flag,
and the guns of the surrounding batter
les and ships joined in the uproar.
After that the old flag was returned
to the bank vaults, not to be seen again
until death called its owner. Then 1t
was used as pail at the soldiers fun
eral at West Point, and with each sue
ceeding generation its unique historical
value will incrtase.

It is suggested as Memorial Day is

country in the purest principles OF

ciples of truth, integrity, sincerely
and all righteousness, which alone can
furnish foundation on which to build

but they also knew Anderson, and felt
that he would hang on to the last

Every little while Major Anderson
gave orders TO dip the flag to the fleet
to show that everything was all right

the flag was being hoisted back into
place after the third dip, a shell burst

but piece Of the cut rope got damned

son to utter the historic words above
referred to.

Mrs. Logan Suggested the Day.

In the spring Of 1868 General Logan
and l were invited TO visit the battle
grounds OF the South with a party of
friends. AS certain important matters
kept him from Joining the party, how
ever, / went alone, and the trip proved
a most interesting and impressive one.
The South had been desolated by the
war. Everywhere signs OF privation
and devastation were constantly pre-
senting themselves 10 us. The graves
of the soldiers, however, seemed as far
as possible the objects O. the greatest
care and attention.
One graveyard that struck me as be-
ing especially pathetic was in Rich
mond. The graves were new, and just
before our visit there had been q
Memorial Day" observance, and upon
each grave there had been placed q
small Confederate flag and wreaths of
beautiful flowers. The scene seemed
most impressive TO me, and when j re-
turned to Washington ] spoke OF it
could be a concerted action Of this kind
all over the North for the decoration Of
the graves of our own soldiers. The
general thought il capital idea, and
with enthusiasm set out TO secure its
adoption.
At that time he was commaDder-in-
chief OF the Grand Army. The next
day he sent for Adjutant General Chip
man, and they conferred as TO the best
means Of beginning a general observ-
ance. On the fifth day Of May IN that
year the historic order was put out.
General Logan often spoke of the is-
suing Of this order as the proudest act
Of his life.
1t was marvellous how popular the
idea became at once. The papers all

prosperity. Trickery and double-deal-
ing may win for season; malice may
hamper and falsehoud may cripple for
Just a little while, but the right shall
triumph; the eternal and Interchangeable
laws OF equity and justice will ulti-
mately prevail, and the wrong must

Of the Prince of Evil himself.
Well-trained children grow into re-
liable and dependable citizens, and
there is no occupation that pays such
large dividends as instructing the
young in all that belongs 10 good gov
eminent and the conduct Of the affairs
OF prosperous people.
How many young men who will join
in the memorial services Of the present
year could give a clear, concise and
comprehensive account OF the condi-
lions and causes that led 10 the war
OF the rebellion, or the status of the
country at the time Immediately be-
fore the war broke out? How many
young men who cast their first ballot
at the last election can tell just what
they voted for, and why they voted?
How many can tell what is the Mon
roe Doctrine, Or how il applies 10 the
present state Of public affairs?
The tariff is mystery unsolvable
by the average citizen. He knows that
there is something in il about duties
and taxes, but any attempt 10 fix its
actual points in his mind results in
total failure. The single-tax theory is
beyond him, tax for revenue only is
poser" and all talk about unearned
Increment is as sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal. No man should be
| permitted TO cast vote until he is
| able TO state understandingly what are
| the foundation principles Of the gov
eminent under which he lives, and
which conters upon him that great
privilege.
To this end the children must be
educated and made TO understand what
government means, and what are its
gifts and demands. Memorial Day is
great day for this purpose. Assem-
blies Of the best citizens should be the
order Of the afternoon, and here should
be found the very best and ablest
speakers and thinkers in the land.
Instruction should be made attractive
and the exercises interesting. II this

siye idea of what the day really means.

Our American poIicy.

The policy Of this country regarding
foreign complications seems likely TO
remain conservative. The Monroe doc
trine will be sustained, but patience
and prudence in official quarters will
restrain public opinion. The wisest

matte and malarious is to use Hostel

OF the host that donned the blue nearly
four decades back is preparing to pay
its yearly tribute 10 its dead through
out the length and breadth of the
land, this memento-a flag so worn
and ragged-is of strange interest. Its
history is the history Of the war.
This flag flew high in the air over
the battlements OF Fort Sumter on that
eyentful morning Of April u. 1861,
when the newly organized Confederate
forces began the bombardment which
started the greatest conflict of modern
times.
There were two garrison flags in the
fort; one was the fine weather flag and
the other the stormy weather flag. Like
The chaos in mems hearts the elements
