A PATRIOTS SACRIFICE.
The True Lesson to Be Learned From
Memorial Day.

Association hall was prettily decor
ated with flags and stacked guns, the
work of w. K. Stanley, for the Memoir
ial services yesterday afternoon. At 3.45
about so members of the city militia,
veterans of the Spanish war, most of
them, marched into the lower hall.
After few words of welcome by Sec
rotary Hammond, Rev. E. A. Kingsley
of Webster square Methodist church Of
fered the opening prayer, and my
country, It's of thee" was sung by the
congregation. The quartet of Union
church then sang Teller's American
hymn" and the lesson was read from
the twelfth chapter of Romans Miss
Eastman, soprano at Union church,
sang Kipling's "Recessional," and Rev.
John E. futile, D. D., the speaker, was
introduced. Rev. DR.. futile said in
part:
Centuries before any of us saw the
light of day, great army of conquest
under the greatest leaders the world
has ever known, was marching on to-
ward a goal. A river confronted them
and an opposing host was behind pur-
InbIl. lAe WdlGI0 VI liiG i've
were swept aside and the great con-
course of people walked over on dry
ground. When they had reached the
other side they gathered the stones from
the bed of the river and erected monu-
ments in gratitude to God for their de-
liVerance.
''These memorial days, such as that
aud such as this, are red letter days
that spring up spontaneously in mem
ory of great deeds. In America we need
these days. We are a commercial peo-
pie and have developed rapidly. 1t is a
cold fact that the average man of to-
day is a millionaire compared with the
man of ancient Greece or Rome. The
meaning Of this is that we are in dan
ger of forgetting all but the gold and
silver.
''The words of The Recesslonap we
should have ringing in our ears all the
time lest we forget the horrors of the
civil war, the suffering of the Spanish
war.
Il sometimes wonder what are the
memories to you who have passed
through the civil war, of you, young
men who have fought SO bravery IN the
late struggle. What do you think of the
short and awful campaign of the Span
jsh war? Modern warfare is butchery.
We are living in a time when peace has
a new meaning. The peace conference
now in session at The Hague shows
that the world is getting tired of war.
'sThe lesson of the men who died in
tba field and on shipboard shows that
q latent heroism burns in our young
mon some writer said that this coun-
nv could never again raise such an
army ike that of 81. but the graves in
worcester, the unletered graves in Cuba
and the unknown graves in the ocean
give the lie to this statement.
1.-THE lessons this day teaches are
first, the horrors of war second, the
1latriofisrn of young men, and, third,
ne sacrifice of an American citizen" "

This time the pendulum swings final
ly toward a new trial of Capt. Dreyfus,
and the question arises, what is left to
the prosecution to rest upon? A ma
jority of experts have now testified that
the bordereau is not in the handwriting
of the accused, and even Bertillon,
whose reputation gave the first support
to the verdict of guilty, has since iden-
titled letter of Esterhazy's, as writ
ten by the same hand. Bertillon did
not know whose letter he was reading,
and overreached himself in his eager
ness to serve the French general staff.
1t was but a lame excuse that he gave
afterwards, to cover his blunder. Then
the secret dossier, or bundle of doc
uments, upon which the prosecution
next relied for conviction, has been
shown beyond shadow of doubt to
contain nothing whatever referring to
Dreyfus. Col. Henry's forgery was de-
signed to make the identification com
plete, by the insertion of Dreyfus'
name in a genuine letter, but that doc
ument is no longer available as evil
dence. The italian and German en-
bassies have contributed the informa-
ton that the expression, Get canaille
de D" from the most important let
ter in the dossier, did not mean Drey-
fus, but certain secret service agent
whose name is given and whose circum-
stances justify other remarks noted in
this letter. The assertion that the in
formation conveyed to the Germans
was of such nature as could be fur
nished only by an artillery officer, is
met by proof that it might have been
furnished by others, and that the borde-
reau contained loose and inexact Ian
guage, of which no artillery officer of
Dreyfus' admitted accomplishments
would have been guilty. Finally
granting that the officers of the court
martial were honest in their verdict
there is a wonderful accumulation of
evidence tending to show that the gen
eral staff or a section of it resorted to
intimidation, forgery and mendacity to
prevent the righting of what was sure
ly a gross blunder, if not a cruel and
deliberate act of injustice and oppres-
sion,

were and are grasping. They insist
upon a grant of American territory in
order to provide themselves with a sea-
port entrance to the Klondike district,
and they ask that the question of the
possession of a specified tract of Amer
lean territory be submitted to arbitra-
ton. Within somewhat indefinite linn
its, the imperial government is bound
to support them in their position, but
as Henry Norman points out, prece-
dent encourages the hope that when
the facts and the gravity of the situa-
ton become known to the English peo-
p4e, there will be a demand for a rea-
sonable settlement, and the Canadian
contention win then be deprived of i'm
perial sanction. Sparring for politi-
cal advantage in the provinces has
been one of the traits of Canadian con-
duct in the commission, but that
should not be allowed permanently to
stand in the way of the larger interests
of the empire.

DEWEY AND HoBsoN.

The services at the Church of Christ
yesterday morning were attended by
large detachments from the U. V. L.,
ladies auxiliary and Benchley garri-

church was decorated with flags and
flowers, and there was singing suitable

through the American spirit. The Am
erican Spirit has contributed the true
general in Ulysses S. Grant who fought
only for peace. And what of the pri-
waite soldier? Compare the private sol
der of the old and new world. In the
old world he obeyed he asked no ques-
tions, was credited with no brains, was
an attenuation, guided by an autocra-
tic few, puppet worked by string
in the hands Of monarch or king and
when he is finished dies like dog.
In the new world he is a product of the
common schools shaped by fireside and
social influences, educated to think for
himself and act according TO the
promptings of his conscience. He has
ideals as the poet, president and
statesman. He is good to recognize
authority but his bullets are mixed
with brains.
1.-THE American spirit is the same
through all decades and must be the
same. How are the names of McKin-
ley and Long Dewey and Miles receiv-
ed today? They have been to the coun-
try in the recent war what Lincoln,
Grant and Farragut were during the
civil war. The soldier and sailor of
9S and SO are fit to be remembered
with the soldier and sailor of 81 and IS.
None are quicker to say this than the
men of 81. They are not jealous.
There are enough bouquets to go
around and it is a matter of supreme
satisfaction to know that the Ameri-
can spirit thrived between IS and 9S
to make the soldiers and sailors what
they are today"
The speaker closed with rehearsal
of the good deeds of the Grand Army
which looks at a man from his high
water mark and remembers only the
best he has done and not his failings.
The pupils of the high schools sang

TRINlTY's TRIBUTE.

The evening service Of Trinity
church Epworth league last night, was
a memorial service under the direction
of the good citizenship committee. The
usual opening praises service gave way
to patriotic songs. Henry D. Barber
spoke on Gods hand in the civil
war" outlining the history of the
struggle and its effects for humanity.
J. B. Knox spoke for the soldier on
Memorial and what it means to the
veteran" recounting many reminis-
censes of army life Howard Legg closed
the program with an address on Me
mortal and what it means to the pres
ent generation"

Gen. Otis has frankly declared his
need of more troops and asked the vol
unteers in Luzon to re-enlist for six
months. The fact may be disappointing,
but it is less indicative of abandoning
hopes of peace than of a sturdy deter
mination to force the fighting till peace
is realized. The most obvious comment
on the situation reflects upon the I'M
wisdom of a faction in congress, which
refused to increase the regular army to
the strength that military authorities
declared was necessary.

There won't be any lack of time TO
prepare for receiving Admiral Dewey if
he doesn't get here till the first week
in October. He will then be in season to
relieve the tension of the political can
vass, but it is a safe guess that nobody
will be able to manufacture campaign
capital out of him. Whatever of that
element is derived from his victory
accrues to the national administration
and it is so accepted.

There are greedy ants in the Philip
pines that eat paper money, so that
specie is the only practicable kind of
legal tender. A similarly voracious Ape
tite for money has been obser red
among the inhabitants. If the Cubans
refuse the 100000 offered them, the
cash might go a long way toward paci-
flying Aguinaldo and his generals. Their
taste has never baked at gold, silver
or paper. They will eat every individual
dollar and clean it all up round the
edges.

Mr. Bryan continues his denunciation
of the trusts. but he is not enough of a
constructive statesman to suggest a
remedy for the evils of which he pro-
fesses such adherence. There may be
perils and wrongs in the industrial com
bination plan. but they are no greater
than those which socialists and others
Of Mr. Bryan's supporters have charged
against the competitive system. At any
rate, the trust or combination principle
is now in full operation. and it is likely
to stay till better business system is
devised. Neither Mr.. Bryan nor any of
the democratic leaders have shown how
TO get a better one. Political prophets
who devote all their energies to tearing
down, but do nothing towards build
ing UP, are worse than useless. They are
pernicious and may be dangerous.

When George w. Smalley is con-
