the grim-visaged veteran, but at the same
time the stalwart manhood of the nation.
From this point twenty-seven years had
elapsed before the men of the G. A. R.
again marched the length of this glorious
thoroughfare. And today they marched
again-gray-haired, venerable veterans
closing up manfully the gaps that have been
made in their ranks. The remnant of de-
parted grandeur, but as a remnant, bearing
the concentrated glory of their former
strength and greatness.
A new generation looked on the veterans
today. Typifying this generation was the
President himself-a man in whom none of
the nations characteristics have been lost.
But in the breast of the multitude were
those same characteristics-love of freedom.
veneration for the hero, sanctity for the
gray head and a warmth of love for the
"old vet"
Even age could not resist the inspiration
of the fife and drum The spirit of Ameri-
canism carried everything before it. The
tread of the veterans made the heart throb
with emotion. The ring of American airs
from the myriad of American bands thrilled
the American pulse The uncomfortable i'm
pulse to shout and cheer was yielded to and
that shout and those cheers sounded a
mighty requiem from the monument which
betokens peace under the shadow of The
Capitols great dome to the fartherest cor
ners of the country of the stars and stripes
The epoch in Americas history heralded
today embodies the lesson not only of the
past, but Of the future-a lesson that is so
| simple that it is learned by the tiniest tot
but which, through long years Of cherish,n1
| is most precious to the SCARED and battle
worn veteran; the lesson that to fight for
and to preserve freedom pays not only in
the fighting. but in the living, in the dying
and In the hallowed memory remaining.
We are all better men, better women and
| better children for having seen the parade

| day. Those who made up that parade are
| better veterans, and the memory Of that
| event which Is written in tenderest pathos
| in the heart Of the nation is the purest
| and sweetest memory to be cherished in an

From the standpoint of a military pageant
| there was nothing lacking in the thirty
sixth annual parade of the G. A. R. The
faultless arrangements were carried out
in faultless manner-they were executed
by veterans. With a singleness of purpose
the whole nation had its eye focused on
| this one event.

tinctly an ovation Tor him and q cause of

of voices that mingled in glad hosannas to
the triumphant march Of the G. A. R.
With all this realization of triumphant
glory there was sentiment of sadness.
The realization that the object Of alteration
was soon to be only memory, devoid of in
spiration even by the haltng step of a
veteran band.
How fortunate were we then to have
seen this last triumphant march of the
fading hero ranks. The muster rolls still
contain thousands Of names. But the names
are yearly growing less numerous. And the
story contained under each blue coat we
cherish as more dear as the number grows
smaller.
But with all the Grand Army of the Re-
public is not dead. 1t will meet in annual
convention again and again and again. Its
hallowed influence will be felt for many
years on the generations which are follow
ing.
The features of the parade today were
most attractive The veterans were re-
splendent in the glory of their parapherna-
Ill., ne pOpuldce inspired In6m on every
hand by an ovation of love, affection and
enthusiasm which could but quicken the
tread of the aged. The President of the
United States greeted each one of the vet
Grams. Although not permitted to stand in
review, he rode, propped up in a carriage,
over the entire line of march, and his greet
ing of the war heroes of 81 to '65 was no
less enthusiastic and cordial than was their
greeting Of the impersonation of energy
and daring in the war Of '9s.

public in Washington today, thirty-seven

The physicians saw the President during
the morning and were sa tisfed that he
could safely take the, ride. They found him
in excellent spirits, greatly desirous. of
making the trip, and looking forward to it
with intense pleasure.

WILK KESBARRE, Pa, October S.-Nation-
al President Mitchell of the miners union
and the three anthracite district presidents
returned to this city from Buffalo early this
morning. The chief of the miners had moth
ing to say regarding yesterdays trip and
also declined to discuss President Roose-
velt's proposition for ending the strike. He
will not even indicate when he will give his
answer to the President, but it is not prob
able he will do until after he has received
the reports of all the local unions which
will meet today in accordance with his in
structions and take action on the question
of whether their members desire to remain
on strike.
Several of the locals met yesterday and
last night. All OF them voted TO stay out,
and il is predicted that when the complete
returns are in 1t will be found that the vote
to continue the strike will be nearly unaai-
nous.
