were buried in the tomb of the IN

Grams, and after consultation was had
with MIN and other prominent veterans
on both sides, il was determined to re-
place the bones which had been dis
turbed, as near as possible to the home
assigned them by the fortunes OF war.
lnasmuch as the public school system
Is one or the results of the war which
Is becoming more and more satisfac-
tory to both north and south, there
seems historic significance in this disDo-
sition of these unknown dead. 1t may
be interesting to here note that Com
mandeT-in-Chief Nevius asked to be per
mltted TO plant an elm tree over these
remains which proposition was accept
ed with thanks by the Manassas school
board. Long may tho Nevius elm nut

Question of Expense.

But some of our distinguished states
mon think the United States too poor to
pay any attention to the sentimental
notions of the veterans or 1855, It may
be well, therefore, to consider the mat
ter Of expense. In the year 1906. when
the New YORK monuments were dedicat-
cd, large number of veterans, both
Union and Confederate, were present
At that time an organization was per-
fected of The Bull Run Battle Park as
ISOLATION and General James McLeer
Of the Brooklyn Fourteenth was made
president. and Colonel Edmund Berke-
ley Of the Eighth Virginia vice presi-
dent. This organization. after consulta-
ton with the committee of the Grand
Army Of the Republic and with COnfed-
crate Veterans. gave their approval to
the bill now pending before congress-
known as senate bill 1724 This bill ap-
prOpriates $4,000 to be used in the dis
erection of the secretary of war, who is
directed ''tO purchase so much OF the
land surrounding said monuments as
shall, in his judgment. be sufficient for
the protection Of the same and to en-
able the citizens Of the United States
to visit the same, provided said lands
can be secured at a price deemed rea-
sOnable by the secretary of war" It is
submitted that this clause IS sufficient
to protect the treasury from any extor-
tionate demands. The same bill pro-
vides a method by which the various
military organizations which took part
in the BATTLES can erect, at their own
expense. suitable monuments at ap-
proved locations. and the secretary of
war is directed to perpetuaily care for
and protect the same. The secretary of
war is further directed to provide
suitable roadways and approaches If
the lands named are purchased by him.

Tor the monument at Bunker Hill, and
Judse A. B. Olin of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia made an

The Bull Run monuments were not
only the first monuments Of the great
war, but the only ones erected 10y the
soldiers themselves, their last act be-
fore their final discharge. They were
erected not only in pursuance Of q SpOn-
taneOuS movement among the rank and
file, but with the approval of their Of
ficers and with the authority of the
United States government. Thu stone
was hauled in government wagons and
dressed with axes and hammers fur

If in June Of 1865 there was living one
man who was specially authorized to
represent the business interests Of the
United States army that man was Mont
gomery c. AIeigs, quartermaster gen
eral Of the army. The newspapers Of
the day gave list of the distinguished
military men present, and among them
appears the name of General Meigs. It
might be reasonably inferred that by
his presence he gave his approval and
endorsement TO the work of his subordi-
mates. But we are not left altogether TO
surmise in this matter. There Is to-
dav in the war department library a
copy of one Of the original photographs
taken by Gardner on the occasion Of
the dedication. The stalwart form Of
the auartermas tcr general is clearly
shown in the full uniform of a major

these patriotic beginnings and the in
teresting history. these monuments
have for nearly half d century stood on
private property. The government
which authorized their erection has
never expended a penny or given d
thought for their preservation The
fences with which our comrades en-
closed them have long since decayed
and disappeared, and even the very ex-
-stence of the monuments has been
doubted.
Nature has indeed been more kind an[
considerate than the government foi

Limit Will he Set on Business to be
Handled for Day--ENcurSiOn
Season Opens Soon.

There seems considerable possibility
that the schedule of the Carnival City
Packet company boats will have to be
changed, at least as to the time OF
leaving this city. For the last month,
there has been scarcely day when
the packet Columbia has left on time
for Burlington and the Helen Blair,
which commenced operations between
this city and Burlington yesterday for
the first time this year, was over two
hours late in leaving Rock Island. The
amount of freight being handled has
considerable to do with the state Of
affairs, but the chief reason lies in the
fact that the shippers fail to get their
| freight to the warehouse before the
time for the departure of the boat
| The shippers all know when the boat
| is scheduled to leave and seem tO
think that as long as they get theiI
goods to the warehouse by that time
| they will be AL right. They fail to
| take into consideration the fact that
| if half a dozen others do the same
thing, there is a congestion of freight
at the last moment which causes ser
iouS trouble for the boat employees who
have to handle it and get in on boa:t
and properly stored away The com
pany is considering setting a time fol
