MIR, CHANDELIERS oRATIoN

The Memorial Day oration of George B. Chandler supplied eloquent proof that it s not so difficult to play new variations on an old theme, or new tune on an old string, when genius juggles the id de stick.
 Mir. Chandler handled well-worn subject with refreshing originality, and paid a tribute. to the old soldiers in a form that had not been presented to them before, t..' a. ..
 His depletion of the covenant between the state and the citizen, through the s"Soeial Contract;" the obligation each party owes to the other, and the sublime manner in which the veterans have ful filled their part of that contract and kept their troth, was masterly example of rhetoric, and his analysis of what is termed patriotism was no less so.
 Not simply by the eloquenoe of his tribute, but by the manifest sincerity of hls interest in them, MT. Chandler has earned for himself high and warm place in the affections of the old vet erans of Canaan, and in the esteem of all who had the opportunity of listening to his speech on Tuesday.

The parents are hardly less enthusiastic than the school children, in the juvenile part of the parade, and especially i'll the ''pIay picnic'' and drill feature that will make up an attractive part of the afternoon program. The parade of Horribles and Grotesques has Q growing list of candi- dates, ladies as well as gentlemen. for positions ill the line, and there is bound :. to be lot of interest in that feature, and no little ingenuity displayed in originat- ing novel features in the way of cos tune.

PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATION

An organization along the line of the suggestion ill last weeks News, for CO., operating with the G. A. R., is in exist ence in Waterbury, and other places. Commander Weddle, of David s. Cowles Post, has received from Adjutant Geo. L. Platt, of Wadhams Post, Waterbury, letter giving an adequate idea of the organization. From this letter we quote:
 We have an associate body of about 50 members, called Associates of Wad- hams Post No. 49.' They have set of officers-presidsnt and vice-president, secretary and treasurer; no muster or any form of joining, only to sign the blank. They must be recommended by a comrade of the Post and voted in by the Post. The proposition fee, with us, is $1, and annual dues S1. With some of the Associations in other towns the charge is $5 in each case. The fixing of charges is optional with the Post. We have for our Associate members a badge, similar to that adopJed ln Nor lwich, Middletown, Hartford and New Britain. l think you will find such an organization a great help to your Post. '"
 This Associate Membership proposi- tion would seem to solve the problem. Its formation is simple. its duties not exacting, it's financial tax light, and its mission most commendable. With an Associate Members organization in Ca- naan, made up by selection of the Post members themselves, there need be no apprehension that the Memorial day custom of decorating soldiers grave will fall into disuse, nor that the old soldiers will lack for helpfnl sympathy while they live. .t
 For obvious reasons, however, accord to the provisions set forth in the above letter, it devolves upon the Grand Army veterans to make the first move and start the ball rolling. They will meet with ready and willing response.

DUTY

This truth comes to us more and more the longer we live, that on what field or in what uniform or with what aims we do our duty matters very little or even what our duty is, great or small, splendid or obscure. Only to find our duty certainly and somewhere, or somehow, to do it faithfully makes us good, strong, happy and useful men and tunes our lives into some feeble echo of the life of God Phillips Brooks.
