 FROM C. A. R. Joint Memorial Day Not
 Favored. MR. scHwARTz'S LETTER General Stephen D. Lee Favored
 Plan. Resalt of s sussestien Made By Leon sehwarts And Communicated to All Soldier. Orsanisation--
 Anti-aated Governor
 cIeap's Speech.

The recent address of Governor R. E, Glenn, of North Carolina. in which ne dsclared that the common country should adopt a common Memorial Day on which both the North and the South should impartially decorate the graves of all those who fell in the struggle, whether they wore the Blue or tne Gray recalls the interesting circum- stances that year previous exactly the same suggestion. had been made by Leon Schwartz, well known citizen of Mobile who has been prominent in military affairs.
 MT. Schwartz outlined his suggestion in A letter to the editor of The Adver- tiser which was published In the columns of The Advertiser June 6. 1877. MT. Schwartz wrote to General stephen D. Lee, commander in chief or tne United Confederate Veterans and to R. B. Brown, Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. To each he sent a copy of his letter containing the sug- gestion he had made.
 From General Lee he received cour- teoug letter acquiescing in his sugges- tion. The letter from Commander Brown was courteous enough, but 1t tn~ dicated that neither the commander nor the Grand Army of the Republic was willing. to enter into the movement. Commander Brown in short. drowned upon the suggestion, although his reply was courteous.
 The letter of Mir Schwartz to The Advertiser of a year ago, was as fol- lows:
 A Civil War Memorial Day.
 To The Editor of The Advertiser:
 Referring editorialIy in recent issue of your paper to Federal and Con- federate Memorial Days. you state that in all sections of the country the graves of the soldiers who died fighting on both sides were decorated alike by the people of both sections. In a New orleans paper the same day attention is called to the fact that the Southern people have not adopted any uniform time for decorating the graves of their own dead and the suggestion is made that 1t would be well that 1t be done. From thes two editorials get the fol- lowing suggestion or idea which want to offer: That the people of the entire country-Northern people and Southern people--select one day-not to be known as Federal Memorial Day or Confederate Memorial Day-but as Civil War Memorial Day--to be ob- served by all the people or both the Northern and Southern States and on that one Memorial Day decorate the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers, wherever they may lie buried. North or South. flor they. died fighting for what each thought was the right. Let the Congress of the United States set apart Civil War Memorial Day, let all the people of the United States pay tribute to American valor on that day and each observance will be a testI- moniai to the fact that our terrible internecine war Is now but q sad
