The Silent Band.
“Another year above their heads has flown:
Another year has deeper dug their graves;
The sw eet flowers of another year hav 6 blown
. In fields where new no flag ofbattle wave s,
And while their beauty fills the wakened lan do
We wreaths with flowers once more our Silent
Band. ‘
But are they silent ? Though their voices dear
Are heard no more in field or Senate hall
We feel. we know their spirits ever near,
Warning, directing, guiding us in all;
A111 so, beneath the blodd-bought flag we stand
With reverent hearts to greet the Silent Baud.
We W111 keep bright the flag for which they fell;
We will keep free the land they died to save;
To all the future ages we will tell
What great dev otion led them to the grave:
And by these flowers we pledge our ransomed
land
To be as true as was the Silent 13am .
Remembering the Dead..
To-morrow will be Memorial Day,
and wherever a soldier of the late' war
sleeps the sleep that knows no waking,
comrades or relatives will strew flowers
above him and otherwise commemorate
117‘s valiant deeds. The Grand Army
posts will hold public services and elo-
(1101113 orators will recall in glowing
language the deeds and sacrifices of the
days and times in which nearly every
household in the land was represented
upon the battlefields of the Nation.
It;was a‘happy thought that fixed a
day in which the gallant dead of the
great conflict to: preserve the Union
might be fitt1ng1y commemorated, and
it was a still more happy inspiration”
t'iat selected the day in the very heart
of: the season of flowers, when all nal
tare is clothed in resurrection when
I! was still more fitting that this day
594111111 be made a holiday, so that all.
might participate in its exercises. Noth- 3:
tog more inspires the patriotism and
love of country essential tb the main-‘
tenancc of a free goveanment in the
living, than recalling the brave deeds
of the heroic dead, and Decoration day
is scarcely second to the Fourth of July
as a day in which the patriotism of the
existing generation may be stimulated.
But in a wider sense even than as a
day for recalling the deeds of the hero-
ic dead has Decoration Day come to be
celebrated. The planting of flOWers
upon the soldiers’ graves turns all
men’s thoughts to the dead and now
nearly everybody remembers their
dead on that day. Flowers will be
planted to-morrow upon the grave of
the child that was buried but yesterday,
111 well as upon that of its grandfather,
who fell at Gettysburg or in the Wild-
erness. A whole nation, will remem-
ber its dead of all ages and conditions
to-morrow and in the most fitting way
typify by the planting of flowers at the
threshold of summer, that resurrection
which a Christian faith teaches will be
the future experience of all the dead.
Stopped a Runaway.
Yesterday afternoon, Miss Edith
Martin of Elmenworth, drove up to the
Grace church rectory in a phaeton car-
riage, where she was joined by Miss
Amy Watkins. As they started to drive
awaysa Tramway car came along and
passed the carriage, but it had hardly
gotten by when the horse became frac-
b10118 and started to run. Miss Martin
pluckily held on to thc lines but the
carriage was thrown up against the
curl) and one wheel wrecked. The
horse Was getting the better of the (lily
at the corner of Belden avenue and-
lVall strccl, 11.11101. which attracted the
attention of Rev. S. .H. Watkins, who
fortunately happened to be passing,
and he ran out and grasped the horse
by the check-rein and averted what
might have proved a serious runaway.
The ladies were thoroughly frightened
' but) escaped injury. The reverend gen-
tleman‘led the horse' to Dann’s stables
and the carriage was taken to a carriage-
shop for repairs.

in Memoriam.
May 30. 1895.
Not as white saints without a blot
We celebrate the deeds they wrought;
For they were made of average clay,
As mortal men are made to-day.
For always in dark hours of need,
A man is furnished for the deed;
And always when the storm clouds lower
Strong men are ready for the hour;
And thus from earth’s most common breed
Spring heroes fit for every need.
These men were common men, ’tis true,
J ustIcommon men like me and you,
The plain man is the basic clod
From which we grow the dcmigod;
And in the average man is curled
The hero stuff that rules the world.
And so we deck, on hill and glen,
The hero graves of common men.
Plain. common men of every day.
Who left their homes to march away
To perish on the battle p1ain,l
As common men will do again—
To lift a ghastly. glazing eye _
Up through‘the belchinar battle smoke,
Whose continental thunder broke
Like rythm beats of destiny—
To lift a ghastly, glazing eye
Up to a lurid stranger. sky
Until it sees a painted rag,
The same old common Spangled flag——
And then to die and testify
To all the ages. far and nigh,
How commonplace it is to die.
It is not merely now and then
We find such hearts in common men,
Such hero souls enwrapt away
In swathing folds of common clay,
For, standing face to face with fate,
All common men are always great.
For men are cowards in the gloom
Of their own little, selfish fears—
Not when the thunder-steps of doom
Stride through the trembling years.;
And in an open fight with fate
All common men are always great.”

To-morrow, Decoration Day, will be
quietly and-reverently observed in Nor-
Walk without parade or pomp. The
stores and manufacturies will be closed.
Buckingham Post, G. A. R., will as-
semble at Post headquarters at. 10
o’clock a. m. and will march to the
Cemeteries and strew with flowers the
graves of their dead comrades.
It was in May, 1868, that Adjutant
General Chipman received a letter from
a private soldier suggesting that one
day in the year should be set apart in
which to scatter flowers ,on the graves
of the departed. The name of the pri-
vate, unfortunately is not known. lLong
before this he has himself most prob-
ably “gone over to the majority,’,’ but
thesuggestion at once found approval,-
aud on May 5, 1868, general order, No.
11 was issued by John A. Logan, Com-
mander in Chief of the Grand Army.
It began:-—“The 30th of May is desig-
nated for the purpose of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died’ in defense
5’
of their country. This was done, he
added,"‘with the hope that it will be
kept up from year to year.”.
On April 6, 1866, a year after the
close of the war, the first post of the
Grand Army of the Republic was or-
' ganized. The movement met with such
popular approval and seemed likely to
be followed by such good results, that
by Dr. A. H. Baldwin.
lother Posts were established in every
part of the North, from Atlantic tb
Pacific. .
Our dead soldiers! It is the theme
of the hour. Orators will to-morrow
tell of that bugle call which sent such a
thrill of horror through the nation in
1861 and was followed by the enlistment
of more than two million men.
Our dead soldiers! They came from
every rank of society—from wealth and
from poverty, from -the learned pro-
fessions and the workbench of the me-
chanic. They were untrained civilians,
without knowledge of the art of war,
with no desire for military glory, and
yet the best critics of the Old World,
declared that our battlefields could not
be equaled in the annals of history.
It was an army of American citizens,
graduates of our public schools, who
felt the sting of presonal insult when
the shot was fired at our flag on Sum-
ter, and resented it with the same cour-
age they would have shown if their
wives or daughters had been assaulted.
The flag meant home and fireside, and
it was not only the part of patriotism,
_ but of religion to defend it.
On Sunday, our Clergy, and since,
the Press, have vividly described that
tidal wave of patriotism which swept
the country from end to end, made
deeds of. valor so inSpiring and envia-
ble, that it became easy for a sixth of
the whole army to die on field or in
hospital.
But that gory chapter has been writ~
ten, and the book which contains it is
clasped with a funereal clasp, and the
flowers of the 30th of May, when the
whole continent is in blossom, is :1 rev-
erent tribute which quickens the na-
tion’s pulse and dims the nation’s eyesll
So, on the morning of that day in
each recurring year, let us stand with
arms full of flowers at the graves of
those to whom we are indebted beyond
the possibility of payment. Let the 30th
of May, so long as a soldier who wore
celebrated with pathos and pride.
Let fragrant tributes, grateful, tell,
Where live the free, where sleep the brave-

their trolley facilities promise to ex-

It is well understood that the Street
Railway company is leaving no stone
unturned to secure the passage through
the House of the resolution allowing
them to' place their tracks under the
new Washington street bridge, down
South Main to Monroe and through the
latter street to the new dcpotsofthe

derstood that if the Street Railway ean
pass under this bridge the Tramway
company will have the same privilege.

carry out whatever project they under-
take, and for this reason their reported
coup on the Street Railway company
has every appearance of being true.
The GAZETTE has received informa-
tion from an unquestioned source, that
while the Tramway company officials
are making what appears to them, an
uphill fight against the passage of the
resolution allowing the Street Railway
company to pass under the Washington
street bridge and parallel their tracks,
they propose in case the resolution
passes and becomes a law, to at once
begin to lay their tracks up West ave-

this and the means to carry it through
and it is safe to say that if their tracks
are paralleled by the, Street Railway
company the latter’s track will receive
the same treatment at thehands of the
Tramway.
The outcome of this great trolley
fight promises to be interesting and the
residents of West avenue are threatened
with plenty of electric railroad service
as well as a network of wires and rails
along that historic thoroughfare.
There appears to be but one ray of
hope for the residents of West Avenue
to escape, and that is, through the ful-
fillment of the report-ed purposed action
of Senator John H. Ferris.
-His many friends have been severely
pained at the unfortunate position into
which he has placed himself, and are in
hopes that as the resolution has not as
yet been sent to the House, he will
move to reconsider the vote by which
it passed the Senate, as it is reported he
has promised to do, and thus place him-
self in asgood if not better position
before his home constituents, than pri-
or to allowing himslf to become entan-
gled in the trolley fight.
