MEMORIAL
Mora than forty year have elapsed
iao the close of the sanguinary xn
fliotkauwa M history M the Civil
War. Comparatively few of Ill.e
foremost leader survive today;
billowy monds scattered. the land
tuark the spots wltaf -Tost thess men
who brojected knergy, power, and
masterly geotus Into the crunoial teat
of the Nation. The nomber of those
who participated In the campaign of
ISM-IBM Is steadily growing lea year
by year. And ia the ooarea of nalare
' bat a few years remain era the last
' man who wore the bin or the." gray
hall have laid his robes of mortality
aside and' entered his loog home In
t the tomb.
When thai time arrives, when
gray-haired, stoop-shouldered, halt
ing veterans wearing the familiar
and well-known badge are do longer
even on oar street, what is to became
of Memorial DayT Will it cease to
exist? Will It, also, drop into the
grave of oblivion, and be to the com
ing generations bnt a faint remain
braooe of history? Strong, Indeed,
most be the faith of the man who
would deny that ultimately this most
be the fate of even so beautiful and
worthy au lostitotioa as Decoration
Day. It must share that inevitable
decay that characterises all thlogs
muodaiie. Hot, we bonewtly believe
that that lay is far way In the re
mote future. May it te very far I
The day is an especially effective
teacher of vatrtollaru, aud as such
will continue lor a long time to carry
within itiH-lt a eelf perpetuating
energy. Symposiums upon patriot
ism, the tlmling oat what patriotism
is and what it will do and how it can
t cultivate!, the study of history
that in history we may see the rule of
Clod, and the play of the human, aud
the operatlou and the Iwiie of moral
trlncltle in national lift- theee
are the factors that will keep this tiny
for a long time to come Nntioutl
power aud Inspiration. Our youth
are still thrilled and moved and
touched by the story of Ieonidas and
his three buudred Spartau at the l'stui
I -Thermopylae. Shall they ooooer
forget the campaign front Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, Winchester, Look
out Mouutaln, Gettysburg, Knoiville,
Mobile May, Fort Henry, Kort
Donaldson and Island No. 10? How
soon will hearts cease to beat with
patr'.otio fervor at the mention of
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hooker,
Meade, Puruslde, Howard, l0rau,
Fart ag at aud rte? These lives ar
grafted upon the luimorial life of
God's cooqoerisg aud reignlug
righteousness. Light from them poor
down on as ; inspiration from them
breathe Into as; front thess emanate
pulses in the earthquake that is at
the present day gathering cm ruinous
power nnder the throne of predatory
wealth and corporate greed aud Indi
vidual dlidiooesty.
Another element to the longevity of
this Day 1 the growing etclusion, in
its observance, of those things that
tend to perpetuate sectional animosi
ties, divisional hatred! and bitter
nesaes, and to bomiliate a fallen foe.
These things are increasingly elimi
nated. And this constitutes a ground
for hoping that the delay of the in
stitution may be far off. Evan P.
hoghes, In hii address last Sunday
morning to the G. A. R. veterans,
insisted strongly that the spirit of the
observance and the conduct of veter-
' lltl Xt am innn li niasa l
mt m new I4VH wmw W UV BUU llfl II VJ
bind together the sections rather
than drive them apart. Ha iostancod
the well-known fact that It was L'nlou
soldiers who first decorated the graves
of Confederate warriors who had died
in Northern prisons. It is unques
tionably a fact that splendid progress
ba been achieved In the healing of
woonds and the seooring of a better
understanding. Irreconcilable there
moat certainly are, and will be, a
few of thsiu, until death put an end
to their spattering. But, generally
(peaking, men are now reoof oiling
the great fact that the battle of the
berocaof 01-6S not ooly bleased the
ortb, bat also blessed the Sooth,
tad indeed blessed the world. The
South by th war,' so far from baring
lost anything, has gained everything.
Mo man ever rendered th Sooth a
greater aervlo than did A bra baa
Llnooln when p dipped hi pen in
Ink and dashed off hi Proclamation
of Emancipation that knocked th
shackles off from three millons of
slave. And what iguHoant and
pregnant omen of good is th fact
that the finest oology of oor martyred
President ever pronounced was by a
Southerner, the lamented Henry W.
Grady, of Atlanta! The Sooth cheer
fully admit today thai she' rejoice
thai slavery 1 no more. With
sweeness and wbolesomeoess and
tenderness and conciliatorines a
e lament in It observance, we say.
Memorial Day will not soon perish
from the way. May it live loog to
teach patriotism and high manhood
and noble womanhood In a free and
united country nncursed by section
alism and free from fratrloidal jeal
ousy and clannlshness.
TKIAL BY JURY.
The right of trial by jury is no
doubt one of the bulwarks of Anglo
Saxon lilierty but the meti-oda em
ployed in selecting a jury in modern
criminal trials is tending to bring it
luto disrepute with all thinking tueo
and women. The ancient theory of
the Jury wan one entirely different to
what goes to-day. Then It was tliHt
the jury wss composed sutirely of
men who were familiar with all the
facts in the case. They knew the
parties concerned personally and had
generally livitd in tho neighborhood
for year. The more thev knew about
the facta in the caxe, the better jury
men they would umtu'. The amount of
it all was thnt the witnesses tried
the case. If one of the parties was of
a nieao, hoggish disposition, thev
knew it and it went into their con
mi ration oi tho venlict. Petog
neighbors to the parlies, they knew
all the little tricks aud weakness
aud everything had its tuflueoce ou
the verdict. Now this method
evideotly gave too much power to
prejudice but the modern meth.ii goes
tot) far the other way. Now a man
disqualifies himself if be baa die
ensued the case in any manner oi ex-
pressed an opinion and the more he
knows about the facts of the case, the
worse it gets and he is rifct supposed to
take into consideration anything be
learns about the case outside '.ot the
courtroom. Recently juryman went
around and looked 'at ! stairway that
was figuring in a dispute and the
judge adjourned court nntil he coo Id
decide wbekfcer to go on with th
trial or not. If it keep on each state
will have to train op a special body of
cititeos to merely serve on Juries.
They wil hav to be kept behind
stonewalls, not allowed to read news
paper or any bock nnder fifty vrar
old, not b:ong to ny lodge or aecrel
