Decoration Day.
To-DATv throughout the Union,
the graves of the gallant dead arc
lovingly strewn with flowers, and
in crowded cities," bj winding
streams, in quiet woodland ceme
teries land, on suncrowned ceno
taphs the sad and sacred ceremony
of decorating the. graves of our
country's heroes is observed. The
observance of the day is a peculiar
one,and wbile'itbrihgs up sad m'ein
qries of those stormy yearsof battle,
it should not bring a trace of the bit
terness that was felt when Lee
.-. laid down his sword in the first
glow of early summer seventeen
.y$arsago. '.Tho mystic chords of
-memory" reach back in vibratory
measure to " those battle-fields
jvKere the . brave men whose
mempry-we commemorate to-day
laid down their lives that "a gov-
' ernmant of the people, by tho
people-Jind for the people" should
not perish from the earth; but
those chords that thrill ill woe, when
touched by the memory of the
past, must sound a sweeter strain
of hope and comfort when touched
by the better part of our nature
that looks forward to the hopeful
future. "When every chord has
been sounded by the mad fingers
of passion, and every string
shaken bv the pitiless hand of
pain; when the whole being can
cry out from the depths of agony
that it knows itself; then, and nut
till then, can one read by the light
of this heaven-kindled torch all
the broken hopes, the unfinished
. histories that blot and make
- -illegible the heart scrolls of a
nation's greatest, and reading them
through falling tears ono must grow
. very pitiful and sadly reflect upon
the changes and mutations that
overwhelm us all.
Tho 30th of May has come to
bo a general holiday, and whether
it shall occupy a permanent place
in tho scant list of our American
holidays or not, yet it deserves to
. be perpoluated if not perverted to
. an improper or biased intent. In
this connection it is with regret
we notice that tho general in
: charge at Vancouver has issued
an order that none but the graves
of the Union dead shall bo deco
rated. This is unwise and nn--,-
just. 'Tisnotso much the cause for
which they died. We honor thepoor
1 handfuls of "dust that alone are
left' of the bcaver men on both
aictfes that 'fighting fell for what
they believed, to be right, nnd it
ill becomes those who rejoice in
"the sunlight' of to-day to-refuse
the poor meod of a fragrant bios
. 'SOnVito the memory of tlio men
that are at rest.
" " Kind Nature, "more morciful
-i than.. her -.children, drapes alike
the resting place of the Blue nnd
"tho Gray, "and wraps in tender
robes of her own weaving the lit
. , tie grassy mounds iu colors the
brightest, and flowers that will not
fade in the morrow 'a sun
Here, in Astoria, we believe none
.?-? .... .. . . ,
ot the nation's ueaa are lata, so
that we shall not eclebrato tho day
" in spirit, yet m spirit wo are with
the thronging, comrades that
mourning deck tho graves of tho
departed and pay them the tribute
tkat the affectionate remembrance
of'a nation accords them.'
The Tariff Commission.
The Administration have come
to tbe conclusion that the interests
of tho country should be repre
sented, in. the Tariff Commission
by tho best men attainable. If this
be the fact, it is not seen how the
Pacific coast can -be denied any
share in the deliberations of that
body. The" great" iutcrests of the
country ail? not many. They aro
iron, coal, wood, cotton tnnnufac
ture's, wine, brandy, oil and tropical
productions, drugs and chemicals,
and a few lesser "interests. On
suchW alignment oiir State can
not entirely, be thrust -abide if jus-,
tico btojbo.done. But the ques
tion arises-whether, this is the
orxact. shapo which tho Commis
sion was intended to take. If all
the interests, so-called, are repre
sented, there can bo nothing but a
give and tako operation. It can
not be denied that there would be
some advantage in that. Sections
which now have not the measure
of protection to which they arc en
titled would have a chance to se
cure redress. But the idea of the
Commission at first was rather
that it should be composed of men
who are not interested, and who
could speak with authority on the
subjects -laid before them. To se
cure the largest range of thought
they should be taken from the dif
ferent sections of the country. In
this way" it was expected that a
valuable addition would be made 1
to the rather scanty and unsatisfac
tory literature of taxation. Cer
tainly it will have to be conceded
that the consumers should ha vis
somo voice in the Commission.
They aro the great body of the
people. It is out of their pockets
that tariff levenues arc taken. To
surrender the Commission wholly
to those who arc interested in get
ting all they can produce or make,
would.be a very one-sided pro
ceeding, out of which no gre,U
good would be likely to come.
