Memorial day is an anniversary
which, for its suitable observance, re-
quires no national legislation. Were
others of our people to be unmindful
of the day, the sons and daughters of
nearly three million soldiers who served
in the civil war will keep it in men,
DRY, and the final assurance of the per-
petuity of the anniversary is found in
the blending of the blue and gray. in
answer to the sentiment that this coun-
try will always cherish the bravery of
those who shared in the dangers and
trials of the conflict.
Then, too, the list is steadily length
ening Of those whose graves, now the
trust Of the members of the Grand
Army, will soon be the care of all the
citizens of the United States; the ranks
of the veterans are thinning at a rap
| idly-increasing pace. To-day's cere-
monies take account not alone of the
dead who fell in conflict; it places its
floral tribute on the sod where sleep
those who We're called hence long after
the sound of battle ceased but who mad
won the cherished title of comrade.
Besides, Memorial day has received
a new conservation as the result of our
recent conflict with a foe across the
seas. The younger generation has fur
nshed its quota Of heroes. Our coun-
try found cause for rejoicing and for
pride in the fact that We scored tri-
umphs, during our war with Spain, in
which, as at Manila, the immunity
from loss of life was remarkable or, as
in some of the Cuban engagements,
where the death roll was strikingly
short.
Nevertheless, the harvest of fatalities
during our recent war was a gloomy
total. Recently, Adjutant General Cor
bin has prepared statement which
gives the number of deaths as 1899 in
Cuba: 2S7 in Porto Rico; and 1872 in
the United States, the latter figures
including, in large proportion, deaths
that were the result of disease contract
ed in the service. To this must be added
the Philippine total which, large al
| ready, gives unwelcome promise of be-
ing larger. Apparently the muster roll
of the dead, since the war with Spain
began, is not much less than seven
thousand.
BY all the signs, to-day's celebration
of Memorial day will be an occasion of
much more than common interest. That
certainly is true of most of the COM
munities in Montana. Throughout this
state, the days beautiful customs will
be reverently observed and no grave
where sleeps a soldier will be forgotten.

cally for the first time, in this dispatch,
all they ever knew about this particu-

kidnapping has filled columns In the
New York newspapers for more than
week.
The baby is less than two years old ;
it is the child of parents living in

by the parents. in a letter written in
disguised hand, that the child was safe
and that if they would keep the case
out of the newspapers and out of the

would be restored to them
When the public first learned of the

note, that some yellow-tint newspaper

sensational story. But the plot thick

trated. the father is distracted, the po-
lice is in full pursuit, public sympathy,
as is the rule in such cases, is deeply
stirred, and all New York is looking for
the Clark baby, no trace of which was
found up TO the latest information. The
detectives have given out intimations OF
sensational developments. but these
amount thus far to nothing.

The boy disappeared from the home of
his father, in Germantown He was four
years old. Two men enticed him ana
his older brother to get into a wagon.
After drive of several miles, the older
boy was told to make his way home the
best he could: the other child was
never found, and the case gained ma
tional fame; the mayor Of Philadelphia
offered a reward of $4,000 for the re-
covery of the boy. Bill Mosher and
Joseph Douglass were suspected of the
abduction. Months afterwards, these
two attempted burglary at the resi-
dence of Judge Van Brunt. at Bay
Ridge. Both were trapped and shot.
When dying, Douglass said: IT'S no
use lying now, Mosher and 1 stole
Charlie Ross"
Douglass was asked where the boy
was and he told his inquisitors to ask
Mosher When told that Mosher was
dead he said he did not know where
the boy was, but that he would be re-
turned to his family. This was not
done, in spite of the fact that the mayor
of Philadelphia promised immunity
from punishment to any one who would
return the boy, as well as the reward
already offered. Little Walter Ross
was brought to New York and identi-
fed the bodies Of Mosher and Douglass
as those Of the men who had carried
him and his brother off. But Charlie
Ross, who, if he is alive, is nearly
thirty years old, was never restored to
his parents.

The Dreyfus Demonstration in London

London, Sept. 1S.-Although the
weather yesterday was beautiful, the
much talked of demonstration in Hyde
Park, London, against the verdict of
the Rennes court martial re-condemn-
ing Captain Dreyfus on charge of
treason proved a spiritless affair. A
few thousands collected around the
seven platforms, but they were mainly
boys, servant girls and iders. Very
few Jews or foreigners were in evil
dence The large force of police in at
tendance had nothing to do, as a
demonstration could not possibly be
more orderly.
The speakers were in no way in
f1uential. Most of the interest cen
tered around the platform where Mr..
Hatfield, a relative of Dreyfus, de-
livered an address. The speakers de-
precated boycotting a whole nation
"for the sake of five judges and a
scoundrel" At the various platforms
resolutions were adopted expressing
sympathy with Nine. Dreyfus and alb
horrence for the generals who figured
at the trials, rendering congratulations
to Emile lola. Lieutenant Picquart,
Maitre Labor, Maitre Demange and
others, and appealing to France to re-
lease and rehabilitate Dreyfus before
it would be too late. These were car
ried with the greatest enthusiasm.
Various flags were displayed, includ-
ing the stars and stripes and the tri-
color Of France. A French lady was
removed for continually crying "Vive

shouting "Vive Mercier"

To the Republicans OF the First MafftO
Congressional District.
Portland, Me-. Sept. 1S.-The Press
prints this morning the following:
ITO the Republicans of the First
Maine district: While am naturally
reluctant to obtrude myself again upon
public attention. even here at home, I
am sure no one would expect me to
leave the First Maine district after SO
long service without some words ex-
pressing to you my appreciation OF
your friendship and my gratitude for
your generous treatiiient. Words alone
are quite inadequate, and l must ap-
peal to your memories. During three
and twenty years of political life, not
always peaceful, you have never ques-
toned single public act of mine.
Other men have had to look after their
districts. Ny district has looked after
me. This, in the place where l was
born, where you know my shortcom-
ings as well as l do myself, gives me
right to be proud Of my relations
with you. No honors are ever quite
like those which come from home. 1t
would not be just for me to withhold
my thanks from those Democrats who
have SO often given me their votes.
This friendship can acknowledge
with all propriety even in letter to
Republicans, for both they and you
know that have never trimmed sail
to catch the passing breeze or ever
flown a double flag.
office as ribbon to stick to your
coat is worth nobody's consideration.
Office as opportunity is worth all con-
sideration.
THAT opportunity you have given
me untrammeled in the fullest and
amplest measure, and return you sin
cerest thanks. If have deserved any
praise it belongs of right to you.
Whatever may happen, am sure
that the First Maine district will al
ways be true to the principles of lib
erty, self government and the rights of
man. THOMAS B. REED"
