The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-05-30

Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama and
the United States was the more read
lily persuaded to deliver the Memorial
day GRAFTON in Boston, because of his
intense interest in the Americanization
of Cuba through the American educa-
tion of the young men of the island
He hopes to further his work in con-
sultation with eminent educators whom
he will meet here. Incidentally he
mentions the fact that, although he
Was never in Massachusetts before, he
has some claim to Yankee relation
ship, inasmuch as he is the cousin Of
the late Rev. DR.. James Freeman
Clarke, their mothers being sisters.
Gen. Wheeler announces that already
forty young Cubans have been matric-
ulated in colleges in the United States,
and four hundred more are awaiting
their chance. Only one has been ad-
mitted at Harvard, but Gen. Wheeler
hopes to find room for others in the
colleges and scientific schools of the
commonwealth. Very sensibly he re-
marks that the more practical and
technical the education, the more ser
yiceable will the young men be in de-
veloping their native land, and there
fore he has an eye for such scientific
schools as the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology 1t might interest him
to know that the Worcester Polytech-
mic Institute has been honored from
time to time, with the attendance of a
number of Cuban students, and no
doubt there is room for more at the
present moment. His educational plan
is promising, for besides the technical
training received, there would be the
further advantage of four years of res
idence in the country, where Amer
lean ideas are to be assimilated and the
American habits of life and manner of
thought acquired naturally and uncon-
sciously.

HEROES OF PEACE.
Their Ac;s Are Worthy of Song and

To the Editor of The Spy: Gustav
Kobbe, in the June Century, has an in
teresting article on the Heroes of peace. 90
Among the many cases of heroism told
by Mr. Kobbe is one which must be OF
interest TO many in Worcester and vici-
nifty. We refer to c. r. Prouty, a native
of Spencer, who spent his early life in
Worcester and was educated in our pub
lie schools. He was & soldier in the civil
war After the war he settled in Texas,
where he has held many Offices of trust
under the government, and is now en-
gagged in business in Eagle Pass, Tex.
One Of the party referred TO in the fol
lowing incident was an English noble
man. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Cheney r. PrOuty of IndianOla, Tex,
received not only the gold medal Of our
own government, but also that of the
British Royal Humane Society, for a
most cool and deliberate act of courage.

Bratt!eborc is very much in need OF
a vigilance committee to suppress the
ohstreperous brother-in-law of Rud-
yard Kipling. The latter's friends
state that there is no place which the
famous author would like so much to
see as his Vermont home, yet he is not
to be permitted to visit it before his
departure for England, because of a
threat which Is said to have been made
that there would be trouble for him If
he should go to Brattleboro. Arrange
ments had been made for a visit to
that place, but his friends, fearing the
result Of needless annoyance during his
convalescence, prevailed upon him to
give up the trip, which he did with
great reluctance. 1t was supposed that
the dangerous illness Of Kipling and
the affection he suffered in the death
Of his daughter would close the
brother-in-aw incident but it will re-
quire something more fetching than
sentiment to bring the young man to
his senses.

'our Anticipated federal constitution"
In order to ensure the complete control
of the government by all the people
irrespective of SEX" Woman suffrage is
literally recognized. Another import
ant principle advocated is the public
ownership of all public utilities fran
chises, mines gas wells, and all indus
tries now controlled by monopOlies,
trusts or combinations. AS a corollary
to this proposition, all useful inventions
are to be free to the people, and the in
ventor is to be remunerated from the
public treasury. Similarly, life and fire
insurance are to be assumed by the
state, and a national insurance is ad-
vocated for working people against ac-
ctdent and lack of employment, while
pensions are proposed for old age. Pub
lie works for the employment of the
unemployed should be instituted, the
public credit being utilized for the pur-
pose Other propositions include the
eight-hour day, the naturalization of
labor laws, the popular initiative and
referendum, trial by jury in all cases
Of contempt of court, tax on incomes
and inheritances, a more efficient en-
ployers' liability law, the abolition of
war, and finally the public ownership
of the ice industry in the metropolitan
district. No special insight is required
to see that much of this program is
visionary in the extreme, and yet it
contains two or three principles which
are already in operation in one state or
another and towards which society
seems to be steadily drifting.

THE NEW MEMORIAL DAT.

Memorial day has its own sacred Sig
hlhcance, as time for hororing ra-
Their than mourning. 1t brings it's So d.
ness, and yet the character of the OBJ
servance is one Of exalt2tion. The
public addresses assume a toneof nation
al thanksgiving for the virtue ard
glory of the dead and for all they cid
and dared. Orators and writer's may
point out the lessons to be derived
from the past and the perils that Turk
in present tendencies of life and pol
itics, but the animating sentiments Of
the day are the serious and grateful:
remembrance of those who are gone,
and just and rational appreciation
Of the supreme sacrifice they rendered
to the nation. Republics have been re-
preached as ungrateful, but not the
American republic.
This year, more than ever, has the
nation cause to remember it's dead who
have died in its service. There are
fresh graves to be decorated. There
are young faces and vigorous forms in
the ranks of the veterans. For the
first time since Memorial day was insti-
tuted, east, west, north and south can
unite in doing honor to men who suf-
fered and who died for the same cause
and for one undivided country. Despite
sporadic outbreaks of unfriendIy tenn
per and ill-considered speech, the peo-
pie of all sections know one another
better and are more perfectly welded
into a homogeneous whole than ever
before. East and west, north and south
have given their loved ones to a
common cause, and each section
has felt the warm sympathy of the
Others for its sorrows, and the adni-
ration bestowed upon the fortitude,
daring and patriotism of its own peo-
pie. There have been earlier instances
of the participation of the blue and the
gray in honoring the graves of brave
men, but the prediction uttered thirty
years ago by a beloved Union com
mander, has been but just fulfilled
Said Gen. Horace Binney Sargent in a
Memorial day address in Boston:
1 can respect the grave of any gal
liant foe who drew his sword honestly,
according to his light, for his native
state-for the spot, great or small.
which he had been taught from child
hood TO reverence as his supreme
motherland. Comrades. though few Of
US may live to see it, / feel sure that
the last survivors Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic will celebrate this an
niversary after some day CT glory,
when the sons Of rebels and our sons
shall have fallen side by side in some
common cause of foreign war, as orr
sires and their sires fell side by sid
under the eye Of the great rebel.
the Nirginian, Washington.
Truly. this is a time for honor ard
gratitude; for high resolve OH the part
of people and public men. that the
principles of human rights FOR which
heroes fought and died, shall be en-
forced and perpetuated. and that the
blessed heritage Of country which they
have secured to us, to our children and
our children's children, shall not be
abridged, impaired or corrupted. Others
may scott or cavil; we mav disagree
among ourselves as to policies and
methods; but there was never a ma
ton that accomplished as much as ours
for human freedom, happiness and
progress.

Providence police are enaCgetically
arresting "scorchers" and subjecting
them to SIS fines. Still, the Journal of
that city is not content. 1t moves for
a crusade against both whcelmen and
teamsters who too frequently disobey
the law by riding or driving on the left
side of the street. In Rhode Is
land an offense of this kind
renders one liable to a fine Of five dol
lars. A little of that sort of doctrine
would not be amiss in Worcester, FOR
both riders and drivers gre often at
fault in this matter. There is more
Inconvenience than danger in it per
haps, but the latter element is not
lacking.

1t looks as if the recent conhagration
at Coney Island might result in the
permanent Punishment of the elephant
and all his tribe. A movement is on
foot to convert the beach into a public
park from which fakirs would either
be vigorously excluded or else put un
der such restraint that the place would
be bereft of its former peculiar glory.
The elimination of the tough element is
to be desired, but it would be a gc2d
deal of a lob.
