W*1 JFJ Ps&M^rj ^.TOr4--^ M m ,.:.r*. -t /0'~~ !IR II AT does the mon­ ument mean " (said James A. Garfield, in a speech at the unveiling of a sol­ diers' monument.) Oh, the monument means a world of memories, a world of deeds, a world of tears, and a world of gloriea You know, thousands know, what it is to offer up your life to the country, and that is no small thing, as every soldier knows. Let me put the question to you for a moment Suppose your country, in the awful embodied form of majestic law, should stand be­ fore you and say, "I want your life; come up here on this platform and offer jit " How many would walk up before that majestic presence and say, "Here am I; take this life and use it for your great needs." And yet, almost two mil­ lions of men made answer. And a mon­ ument stands to commemorate their answer. That is one of the meanings. But let me try you a little further. To give up life is much; for it is to give up wife, and home, and child, and ambi­ tion. and all--almost all. But let me test you a little further. Suppose that majestic form should call out to yoh and say, "I ask you to give up health, and drag yourself, not dead, but half alive, through a miserable existence for long bfetlMi* to one gnat faarify. and, in a ' broader sense, were children of the great Father of all. With the war-clouds long »in< e scattered by the sweet winds of peace, and our reunited country happy i under the smiling skies of prosperity, ' standing by the graves of the country's j soldier dead, there come to mind those j words of one of America's greatest ora- | tors: WI have but one sentiment for the soldiers who fought in the lite war, and that is cheers for the living and tears for the dead.^ . CEREMONIES OP THE DAY. pleet manner possible. As they stood in a sorrowful group near the graves they had decorated, they heard the measured tread of marching troops, and turned, surprised, to see the veterans in blue marching toward them. The men in blue, as they passed the ex-Confederates, It HM BMM Observed forth* Put Twwa- ty.thrw Decoration Day at first was a verita­ ble day of mourning. There was no dis­ tance then between those who had been killed in the army or who had died in the service, and the relatives who grieved over their loss and would not be com­ forted. Over their graves there were tears shed and every grave was surrounded by women in black and by men whose voices trembled when they raised them in song. Most of these found expression for their burdened hearts in decoration with flowers. It was natural that a family should gather about the graves of their own dead and that their own special offerings should be for their own. In this way it happened that many graves in the cemeteries of the cities and country towns were piled high with of­ ferings of flowers while others had but a single bouquet, and possibly a single flower. The people on impulse corrected this, and soon there were offerings of flowers in mass for the decoration of all the graves ' and the ceremony of deco­ rating was delegated to little girls who dressed in white went from grave to grave dropping Impartially on all. Later the ladies took charge of decorating, but it was found that even on this plan some graves were neglected, and so it happened that the members of the Grand Army took charge of the de­ tails themselves, altering their pro­ gramme from year to year as experience and the change of sentiment of the peo­ ple suggested new details of arrange­ ment and of economy. In the larger cities or in the cemeteries where the graves of soldiers were together it was easy to follow a general programme; but UDlKKtRTHMVIiT/UH URfnCFMN .MiWHmwnH 4, years, until you perish and die in your crippled and hopeless condition. I ask you to volunteer to do that " This calls for a higher reach of patriotism and self-sacriffce. But hundreds of thous­ ands of our soldiers did it That is what the monument means also. But let me ask you to go one step further. Suppose your country should •ay, "Come here, upon this platform, and In my name and for my sake consent to become Idiots; consent that your very brain and intellect shall bu broken down .Into hopeless idiocy for mv sake," how many could be found to make that ven­ ture? And yet thousands did it with their eyes wide open to the horrible con­ sequence. And let me tell you how. One hundred and eighty thousand of our soldiers were prisoners of war: and among them, when death was stalking, when famine was climbing up into their hearts, and when idiocy was threatening all that was left of their intellects, the gates of their prison stood open every day if they would just desert their flag and enlist under the flag of the enemy: and out of 180,000 not 3 per cent ever received the liberation from death, starvation, idiocy, all that might come to them, but they endured all these hor­ rors and all these sufferings in prefer­ ence to deserting the flag of their country and the glory of its truth. Great God! Was ever such measure of patriotism reached by any men upon this earth before! That is wh»t your monument means. By the subtle chemistry that no man knows, all the blood that was shed by our brethren, all the lives that were thus devoted, all the grief and tears, at last crystallized itself into granite and rendered immortal the great truths for which they died. And it stands to-day, and that is what your monument means. Now, what will it teach? What will it teach? Why, I remember the story of one of the old conquerors of Greece, who, when he had traveled in his boyhood over the hpttlc-tields where Miltiades had won victories and set up trophies, re­ turning, he said: "These trophies of Miltiades' will never let me sleep." Why? Something had taught him from the chiseled stone a lesson that he could never forget. It is not a lesson of revenge: it is not a lesson of wrath. It is the grand, sweet lesson of the immortal)tyuf a truth that we ho pi? will soon cover, like the Shech- inah of ljght and glory, all parts of this Brfpublie; from the lakes to the Gulf. I I once entered a house in old Massachu­ setts, where, over it* door, were two crossed swords; one was the sword car­ ried by the grandsire of its owner on the field of Bunker Hill, and the ether was a sword carried by the English grandsire of the wife on the same field and on the other side of the conflict Under these crossed swords, in the re­ stored harmony of domestic peace, lived a family happy, contented, and free under the light of our republican lib­ erties. I trust the time is not far distant when, under the crossed swords and the locked shields of Americans, North and South, our people shall sleep in peace and rise in love and harmony under our flag of stars. in the country neighborhood where the graves were Isolated, one or two or three in distant country churchyards, often in a neighborhood where there was no liv­ ing relative of the deceased, a different programme was adopted. In such dis­ tricts it. was the custom for the ex-sol­ diers to organize for that day a cavalry company that made the round of the distant cemeteries and decorated each soldier's grave. In this way the grave of one soldier buried eight or ten miles from any other received as much atten­ tion as those in the city cemetery. As the years went by Decoration Day became, in fact, a memorial rather than a mourning day. Remoteness from the date of the war softened grief and gave to the ceramonies a less somber cast The bitterness of the years immediately succeeding the war that made the griev­ ing of so marked a character passed away, and in its s(ead came a tender rec­ ollection, not only of individual soldiers but of soldiers as soldiers. The element of individual sorrow and individual grieving gave place to a common rever­ ence for the men who wore the blue, and the ceremonies of that day took on a character correspondintr to the change in feeling. From the day that General Lozan issued his order to the Grand Army of the Republic and to the people, the members of the Grand Army have given special attention to the observance of the day. and by eommorf consent they have been allowed to take the initiative, but it has not been made a Grand Army day. Every year it has become more of a people's day. and in fact years ago the custom of inviting donations of flowers from the public schools became very gen­ eral. This brought the recollection of the war to every home, and the children became as much interested in the ob­ servance of the da^ as the old veterans themselves. As the yetrs have passed there has Bartad Animosities. In the graves-of the country's soldier dead should be laid also the animosities which existed during the great conflict that cost them their lives. No matter whether they wore the blue or the gray, qgy belonged to the Republic, were crept into the bearing of the ex-soldiers who officiated in the various capacities on Decoration Day more of tolerance and courtesy, but ther^ has been with this no decliwe in earnestness or in devotion to the eause in whifch so many Union soldiers fell. For example, a few years ago ex-Union soldiers in large bodies and ex-Confederate soldiers in small bodies met at the same cemetery to decorate the graves^jf their old comrades. The ex-Union soldiers in one part of the cemetery performed their part of the ceremony with the dignity and some­ thing of the pomp of war. The ex-Con­ federates in another part, few In. num­ ber, performed their duties in the sim> m silently saluted, and left with them a simple offering meant to express the sympathy that one soldier might give to another. This touched the ex-Confed­ erates more, perhaps, than would any expression of sympathy in mere words, and it was roing as iar and no furtliei than the veterans of the Grand Army could go with propriety. This illus­ trates the spirit of the present observ­ ance of the day "with charity for all, with malice toward none," but with the uncomprising tenacity for the principles on which ths war was fought and unend­ ing devotion for the men "who died- that the Nation might live. * • The Number of Northern Soldiers. The official returns show that 2,653,- 000 soldiers enlisted during the war in response to successive calls of President Lincoln. Of this number 186,000 were colored. The Northern a-#! Southern armies met in over 2,000 skirmishes and battles. In 148 of these tho Federal side lost over 500 men, and in at least ten battles over 10,000 men were reported lost on each side. Some of- the chief battles reported the aggregate losses of both sides of killed, wounded and miss­ ing as follows: Shiloh, 24,000; Antic- tam, 18.000; Stone River, 22,000; Chickamauga, 33,000; McClellan's Pe­ ninsula campaign, 50,000; Grant's Penin­ sula campaign, 140,000; and Sherman's campaign, 80,000. Official statistics show that of the 2,653,000 men en­ listed 44,238 were killed in battle; 49,205 died of wounds; 186.210 died of disease: 24,184 died of unknown causes; total, 303,843. To this number can bo added 26.000 who died while in the hands of the enemy as prisoners of war, and many others whose ddh-ths are unrecord­ ed. A fair percentage of 205.794 are officially recorded as deserters or missing in action: men frequently disappeared in war who were recorded under the deser­ tion head and could not be otherwise offi­ cially accounted for, and thousands who died while at homo on furloughs and arc buried in private cemeteries _ The quotas of troops furnisnedby each State are listed as follows: Maine 71,7451l)igt, of Colombia 16,872 New Hampshire. 74,605 Ohio 317,133 Vermont 35,256 'Indiana 196,14?

Cicsar surpassed him, because he was both a great soldier and a great statesman; but he was Immeasur­ ably inferior t3 Grant, because hie ambition was superior to his patriotism. Frederick the- Great and Napoleon the First reveled in war for its triumDhsand its glory, but General Grant, reviewing the most superb armies beside the Em­ peror and Von Moltke and Bismarck, electrified the military nations of Europe by proclaiming his utter detestation of war. The motto which appeared in the sky at the consummation of his victories, and was as distinct as the cross of Con­ stants, was "Let us have peaca " Un­ der its inspiration he returned to Lee bis sword. He stood between the Con­ federate leaders and the passions of the hour, and with his last breath repeated it as a solemn legacy to his countrymen. --Chauncey Depew. . £; V ' J.- . .I". .in* *.. i 'When a Woman Is Silent.

The Men Who Product Wheat for the Next Generation Will Be the Rich Mr a. Wheat is the wealth-maker of the fu­ ture. It has been too cheap to produce for twenty years. The other extreme is upon us. Consumption of wheat had Overtaken its production. There are no more Government acres to subdue for its production aud the ir.crease in the popu­ lation of the world increases its con­ sumption ov6r thirty million bushels per year. In the near future wheat will sell in the farmer's granaries at from two to three dollars per bushel ' ^ It is gratifying to have thtofTew sus­ tained by such an eminent authority as Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, who is at the head of the largest flour mills In this country, if not in the world His position as one of the largest cash buy­ ers of wheat in America makes it neces­ sary that he should keep thoroughly in­ formed as to all the conditions which are likely to affect the market price of wheat and flour. Probably no one in the United States has made a deeper study of all phases of the wheat question, or is better informed as to all the source^ and statistics of its production, the relations of supply and demand and all the condi­ tions of the market than he. C. Wood Davis, in a recent elaborate article in the Aremi, declared that the consumption of wh-^at throughout the world had already overtaken produc­ tion, and that at so warly a date as 1895 the United States will have ceased to export wheat, and, in fact, would have to import it to supply its own deficiency. The St. Paul Pioneer-Pro8, stimulated by the statemont of Mr. Davis, caused Mr. Pillsbury to be interviewed, and the latter agreed with the Aretm writer that the consumption had. in fact, overtaken the production, and that there had been no increase of acreage of wheat to cor­ respond with its increased consumption tn ten years. This will be gratifying news to those who have been producing wheat for the last decade at ruinously low pricos. They ought to have a benefit, and all signs of the times are wrong if they are not going to have It WOMAN'S RIGHTS SWEDEN. Matt- r of Opinion.

Women of the North Bare Won Tbeir Way by s Fein nine Tact. The evolution of the Swedish woman toward equality with tho Swedish man furhisbes instructive reading for the sex everywhere, says the llluntruted A.mtrl- can. It is a capital illustration of the rich fniits to be gathered when the gos­ pel of moderation is faithfully preached and practiced. As wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves, tl^ose ladies of the fair ^prjih won, within t striking a blow, every ^nccssion for which their sisters over here have fouRht gallantly to snatch fromth; grudging hands of mankind. They worked warily from the inductive system, judged tho individual, and ap­ plied the knowledge thus gained to the whole body. Then, appreciating the folly of attacking the citadel before storming the walls, they laid siege to small tithes of mint, anise, and cummin before assailing weightier matters of the law. With wit deserving of uuceess, leaders of the woman movement ignored political privileges at the very outset, and devoted their energies to righting small grievances, knowing that the natural course of events would bring the ballot in good time. Their first effort, marked by dignity and an entire lack of combativeness, was directed toward opening the universities on equal terms to the sexes. This accomplished, their next request was for the privilege of practicing on equal terms the learned professions acquired side by side with male students. All commercial pursuits were then petitioned for as proper call­ ings for women qualified to fill such posi­ tions, and thus, one after another, bar­ riers were laid low by the strategy that no violence could have captured. Had there been the noisy campaign of the uncompromising suffragist to drown their voices it is extremely doubtful how fast or how far the progressionists would have been permitted to advance. But there were no battle-fields, no* heroines, no martyrs, and so, with cordial grace, the Swedish men granted whatever the prudent, forbearing Swedish women wanted. It is a pleasing and grateful history ta read of the gradual unfolding , of womanly ambitions, fostered by manly sympathy.
