It was in M..y. 1868, that Adjutant
General Chipman received a letter from
a. private soldier suggesting that one
day in the year shnuld be set apart in
which to scatter flowers on the graves
of the departed. The name of the pri-
vate, unfortunately is not known. iLong
before thishe has himself most prob-
ably “gone over to the majority,” but
- the suggestion at onca found approval,
and on May 5, 1868, general order, No.
11 was issued by John A. Logan, Com
mander in Chief of the Grand Army.
It beganz—“I‘he 30th of May is desig-
nated for the purpose cf strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died in defense
of their country.” This was done, he
added, “with the 1"ice that it will be
kept up from ye..r t year.”
. On April 6, 1866, to 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
other posts were established in every
part of the Ncrth, from Atlantic to
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 prc-
fessions and the workbench of the me~
chanic. 'I‘hey we! e untrained civilians,
without knowledge of the art of war,
with LO 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 reseLted it, with the same cour-
age they would ”Have shown if their
wives or Q'gu-ghters had been assaulted.
The flag meant horse and fireside, and
it was not only the part ,of patriotism,
but of religion to delend 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 a rev-
erent tribute which quickens the na- -.
tion’s pulse and dims the nation’s eyes.
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
the Union blue, remains 'on earth, be
celebrated with pathos and pride.
Let fragrant tributes, grateful, tell,
W h-‘ere live the free. where sleep the brave:
