And Mr.. Astor thinks so too. But this might

ley Martin-there is Mr.. Bradley Martin
somewhere, but he does not confederate
the United States forever because they do
not want to pay their taxes.
Comment upon the preceding is hardly
worth while. Most people, we fancy, will
sustain with composure the loss of the two
aristocrats. Indeed, there are numerous
other ladies and gentlemen whose departure
for foreign shores, 80 far from being un.
faVorably deplored, would be hailed with
delight. They can take themselves and
their greasy dollars to the more conienial
climate of England. Even If they paid their
taxes, and they seldom do, their contrbu.
tions to the public treasury could well be
| spared in view Of the publication of the 80.
cal atmosphere that would result from their
departure.

DECORATION DAY

1t is more than thirty years since the prac.
tice of decorating the soldiers graves on
May the Both was inaugursted. In that
brief period the custom has been adopted by
everybody until the graves of the soldiers
= constitute but small fraction of those upon
which floral tributes are laid or planted
with each recurrence of the day. Those
who had occasion to visit the principal Gem
eteries on Tuesday last found flowers upon
every grave.
This universal habit Of decorating the
graves of the dead which has grown out Of
the custom Of decorating the graves of the
soldiers is one TO be commended without
qualification. 1t is easily within the mem.
DRY of those who are still far from old when
cemeteries, especially in the rural sections,
were most sadly neglected. Burial lots were
overgrown with grass and weeds and every
body avoided them except on funeral occa.
sions. Now neglected cemeteries are the
exception rather than the rule, and we be.
lieve this welcome change in the care of
pldSCo uhd III tut tsldUllsDs
ment of Decoration Day. From decorating
graves with flowers that fade in day to
planting flowers that bloom all the season
was a short but natural transition, and the
step from decorating the graves OF the few
soldiers in any given cemetery TO that of
universal planting in all cemeteries and
burial lots followed as a natural sequence.
AS result burial places have lost much
of their gloom and even death itself is re-
garded with less dread than formerly, while
the spirit Of proper reverence for the dead
has been greatly stimulated. And nowhere
is this spirit more manifest than among the
poor. Those who cannot ornament the rest.
ing places Of their dead with costly monu-
ments, or even unpretentous headstones,
can plant flowers and make burial lots at
tractive, and this has become so much the
fashion that many cemeteries have become
attractive rather than repellent. And the
best of it all is that this sensible practice OF
remembering the dead IS to become as per.
manent as il is universal
