Per soma years past persona who ara' Incllntd to take such things to .brt bate observed symptoms of a . aort of creeping paralysis upon the tiric Ma ot Springfield. Maifcr -of oar dtiieas have seea it, felt It, and apoken of It. A fresh Instance of this genera) and Increasing lethargy was noticable tn some of tra shortcomings of the efforts to carry oat a proper observance of Decoration Day. In ome cases these shortcomings ver observable in Quarters where we had reason to expect special Interest and ' a ready response to the call ot"the occasion? The results of he effort to secure a general agreement to close the busi ness houses, at least during the lours occupied by the public exercises, and to have the agreement carried out by all alike, were disappointing. Our citliens should not fail to note and gratefully remember the courtesy and public spirit of the majority who did close. The amallnes of the cumber of the service men who took part, especially In tie march, waa disheartening to those who bad sought to keep alive the spirit of the day and did what they could to make tfca observance what it ought to be. The numbers and vigor of the civil war veterans are becoming so reduced that they caa no longer be expected to make an imposing array; but when the few survivors do get Into line, on thla day which means so much to intra. the absence of a comrade here and there must be chilly to their spirits. Tie veterans of the later wars are to be called on hereafter to take up this duty which the Grand Army men p,re passing over to them; and they should respond as becomes citizen soldiers and patriots. The citizenry of Springfield gen erally needs an arousing on the lines of civic honor and public spirit.
