the dead, unmindful of the crosses borne by the living. This may seem hard., but in strict justice it is right. With the quarter of a century that has passed since the surrender by Lee of his gallant army, since these years have disappeared in the misty horizon once so near—with these have gone the tears and the mystery, and in the clear atmosphere of the afternoon we sec that the critical world is right. The fame of the de id is secure. That of the living is not, and the prudent world requires ample security lor its indorsement. This is a practical age of a most practical world, and men of action, not theory, or those capable of combining the first with the latter, alone can become leaders and rulers. Sentiment is reserved for the few quiet moments, and hard sense only is called into play during the manv busy working hours. The men who died in the glorious struggle for j erpetuation of our nation as a whole; the men who led the heroes in that strife; who planned /nd gained our victories; who lived through the storms of battle to die ♦midst the peace of a united country—these men took no sentimental view of the revolutionizing of a world in which they were engaged during the years of war, nor did they fail to understand, to predict and to advise the material benefits that would result from the then lavish outpouring of b’ood and ireasure which made all nations of the earth to look on with amazement at the seemingly reckless, useless outpouring. Fourteen yc ars after the close of the civil war, General Grant, in friendly conversation, gave expression to views which are to-day upon the piges of Lis personal history as grand testimonials to hisTatriotism and which should be held as a legacyof wise council to the people of this nation, especially those of the South. It was while ou his homeward trip after making the tour of Cuba and Mexico in ItibO. The man to whom he epoke was a native of the South, though a steadfast “Union man” always. After a brief review of his political record, touching here and there upon incidents and results of the war, he unbosomed himself and gave expression concerning the part he took in the war, and his ideas regarding its uses, as he was seldom known to do before or to the day of his death. The conversation turned upon the battles of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg, when some personal reminiscences were mutually recalled. “In those battles,” said General Grant, “as in all conflicts of the war, I felt that I was performing a duty for humanity as well as lor the nation. I was not the enemy of the South. I felt no exultation at the slaughter of her people. I never felt in any battle as though I was lighting against the South or fighting for the North. I felt that I was fighting for the South, and for the North, and for the whole nation, and fighting only against a great wrong. It would have been a great misfortune to the Southern people had they been successful in arms and enabled to establish a sep irate government. It would not have been a government fashioned after that under the Constitution of the United States. It would not have been art public. It would have been an oligarchy of the aristocrats, and the young men of the South would have been reduced to competition with the slaves in the struggle for existence. Mbre than that, the poor man of the South would to-day occupy a position socially but lit- ! tie above the negro, and he would be equally at the mercy of the rich planter and slave owner. Now, you can see for yourself the different state of affairs. We have suppressed the rebellion and reconstructed the Southern States. “You see the poor of the South in possession of the country r nd rebuilding fortunes on the ruins of war: and you see the young men of the South going out into all parts of the United States engaging in the professions and the commerce of the country, building for them®e ves reputations and wealth and helping to enrich their people at home. You see peace in the North, peace in the South, plenty everywhere and an eq .al opportunity given the people of all sections to better their condition in the pursuit of wealth and h ippiness.” The result of the war as General Grant pictured it fourteen years after the stiife was ended is the condition that should exist throughout the United States at this day. If it I e not so, then the peace which has been declared is not complete and the country is not reunited. The blood of the dead I eroes whom we glorify on each thirtieth day of May; the labors, sufferings and years of perildaring of the comrades who on Memorial Day strew the graves of their fallen brethren with flowers, all these have failed to woik out the grand practical results for which < a h thinking roldier, from lowest to highest in rauk, braved the dangers of those terrible years of war. We are brought face to fa 'e with the fact that two classes of citizens of the republic have arrayed themselves against each other, not in the sanguinary conflict of arms, but in a dispute over a question of civil and political rights, which threatens internecine strife. This disquietude and contention is an outgrowth, eve i after these many years, of the war. It is an anomalous social condition arising out of a peace that was established by the abitrament of arms It is a repudiation of the conditions of a peace which was accepted as the only alternative. Suppose the present dissensions,* as they sometimes seem to threaten, should become so wi espiea t and of so serious a nature as to demand Federal interference? When a revolt occurs against the laws which are necessary for the maintenance of peace, it becomes the duty of the power creating such law to arrest the baud of violence and to perpetuate order. Conservative with the best interests of the republican government, it is the first duty of local author.ties to execute the law; if they should be negligent, the duty then devolves upon the authorities of the State, and should the S’ate fail to act, it is within the power of the General

Government to insure a settlement of all internal strifes. Who can determine what mesne should be applied to remedy the evil? Appeals hare been made to the colo ed man, urging him to arm for defense. App als have been made for protection by the General Government. The armed resistance of the negro in the South would be nothing less than a most terrible insurrection. followed by a war of exterminatien. The »rmrd inteipetition of Federal i authority would be a menace to the Southern people, resurrecting all the buned animosities of the late civil war. Conflict would be invitable, and whatever the result, it would not solve the hatred and st rife I etween the races. How are these two antagonistic forces to be reconciled? This is a question for to-day; it is a question to be thought out, patiently and soberly. It is not a matter to be discussed O'er the graves of our departed heroes, or in- : troluced by the orators whose special duty on Memorial Day it is to eulogize the soldiers of the Union, dead or living. But it is fitting that on a day set aside and held sacred to the memories of the past, to recalling the time of trial in which such terrible sacrifice was made to preserve a common country for dwelling within its limits, it is proper that the vital questions of the hour should occupy the minds of men even though their thoughts find no public utterance, and that each veteran of the war “for the Union,” and every descendant of such, should over the dust of those they honor for laying down of life through patriotism, resolve to unceasingly, unselfishly labor to restore harmony, suggest means, and work to accomplish ends that will result,, in actually and entirely bringing about a | “union of States, a union of hearts, and I a union of hands” that no social, political, race, creed, business or sectional I quest'ons can ever sever. There is work—great work, for heroes and patriots to-day-—work as grand and noble for the young men of the present generation as for the veterans of tnepast to perform, as was ever comprised in the bloody tasks set before the men who now । lie under tiower and flag decorated sods, i The sentimental side is well enough; it is eminently proper that one day in each ; year should be devoted to the honoring ' : of those who died that the nation might । live; no pages of history, though they { i grow into millions, can do more than ; justice to their noble deeds. But realities 1 of the present must not I e forgotten or . neglected in contemplation of the ro- ; ; mince of the past. The duty of every ! i man to his country is as actual to-day as I it w s twenty-five years ago, and that du- ; ty is to preserve the peace won by the ' i b ood and wounds of the men of ’GI-’65. ; Too prictical in one way are we—in I blind devotion to business, in continual : i seeking, all-else-forgetting, striving as- I 1 ter wealth. We give twenty-four hours i each year to the sentimentality of Memo- ■ I rial Day, and the remaining three hun- 1 I dred aud sixty-four we live for self. As ; the men we honor by speeches and flags | an t flowers died for others, it is the duty : of those who survive them to live for others. The formula used by Cain—type, as i he was. of selfishness and cruelty—“Am ; I my brother's keeper?”—has been pro- , pounded by mortal men from his day to I j our own. He voiced the universal inquiry. The answer to this ques ion has the same force now it had then, and an added lorce which has come with added ; knowledge. Precepts have not the force 1 , of example, we know, but He who was ( the perfect result of all the good which i the hearts and lives of mon ever con- : tained, and our captain, who uttered the । words, “Let us have peace”—they are per- । petual examples for all people. They : thought aud worked, unselfishly and con- i ■ tinually, for the good of all. It is such musings that prompt these lines from one who through ail the civil strife did what he could to aid his comrades honored on Memorial Day, and who can still see that, while peace is not yet secured to the land for which so many died, for which such hosts still bear the agony of wounds, also recognizes the fact that our young men are cold or dead to : the influences that again threaten to dis- ' rupt our country. Therei.no man living in this age but knows his duty. How many are there who do it? To know what ' duty demands is a great stride forward. [ And the responsibility attaching to such ; a condition makes condemnation far | greater when there is a failure to • live up to that knowledge. In all j human relatione, includ ng domes- | tic and social unity, and theme widening out into broader relations of • political, patriotic interests, the idea of | duty to country, with the light of God I shining through it, brings to bear on every transaction of life an imperative obligation of loyalty to our bind and our ; fellow men. As we do our duty toward our country aud our fellow men, we do it toward our God and ourselves. No po- ; litical party or leader should receive blind obedience; if a man would be free he must think and act for himself txad l o hers—for all. If the men of to-day ; । would not wear faces of shame when ' i they meet—if ever they do—the heroes i i they glorify on Memorial Day, they must i I study the questions of the hour—must I ! act without passion and all forgetful of | ' self to harmonize the distracting ele- j ' ments now disturbing the land. They . ' must insist upon justice to all, firmly; | | but with reason and kindness thev must | insist upon ibis, they must awaken to the ; fact that they are their “brothers’ keep- : ers.” and that if they would truly honor those in memory of whom May 30 is i held as a new “All Saints’ Day,” they ! must fight ns bravely and long, and suffer as patiently and severely, as those w’ho ■ ■ for the Union bled or died.

(CHK AGO COKBKSFOXDESCZ.] Fred Dunlap wae the first base-ball player to be styled “King of the Diamond." Dunlap, while spending the ■s’.rtvr of I'-A in Paris, received a fabu©Ser from Henry Lacan, the \aiol•on of base-ball in St. Louis, who squandered his inhe: itance in the business and queered the famous Maroons in the bar*ain' T he “king” accepted the offer and returned to captain the team that held as many stars as Spalding ever had together at any one time. Dunlop’s name was on every crank’s lips and the euthus asts gazed on his second-Vase play as if he had been one of the gods come down to play before their astonished faces. Ha could do as much with one hand as most second basemen could with two. About that time F. K. Stearns of Deti oit, purchased the “king” from Lucas, paying $4,000 merely for his release. This sale created a sensation in baseballdom, and tho “king” became greater than e\er. From Detroit he was sold to Pittsburg for $5,€00, himself receiving half the purchase money aud a salary of 55,000. For two years thereafter Dunlap received much the highest salary paid any ball-player. The Boston purchase of “Mike” Kelly for $10,1.00, however, transferred the title of “king” to the "only Kei,” and Dunlap's star began to wane. At the opening of the present season he was left out in the col l by the Brotherhood and narrowly escaped not being engaged by any club. Finally Pittsburg decided to employ him, and he went to work at a salary at least $5,000 less than he had received for many years, with the possible exception of 18b'X Now it is an- । nounced that Dunlap has been given his release and from a leum that is perhaps n little bit tie worst of any in the National League. President Np hlin^ Disappointed. “It took us seven years to gain the confidence of the public, ” said President Spalding during a recent interview', “and when we at last gained it then our club began to make money for us. It was the intention of the National League Club in this city to make the g mo of base-ball a reputable entertainment, to elevate it in every manner possible, ami to do this we were compelled at different times to let certain well-known players go. Our rules were necessarily stringent, because I have found that the general tendency of all sporting business is toward the immoral. ami to overcome this decline severe discipline must be maintained. “It was this < esire to make base-ball a game that the nation might be proud of that caused tie National League to refuse to play Sunday games. Drunkards and toughs were not countenanced in the clubs, and after these had bem weeded out we made up our minds, here in Chicago nt least, to found a gymnasium that would some day be to base-ball and all sport ng events what the Auditorium is to art. lor this reason a large tract of land was purchased on the West Side and as soon as it was practicable we intended to erect the necessary buildings and I amphitheaters. "Instead of absorbing ai! the profits ! each year, tho Chicago stockholders put ! the money into a sinking fund, and had i it drawing interest and increasing for the j dav when we should be ready to draw it out and make use of it. You would have seen no such rickety board affairs as do for grand stands on most base-ball parks, but an exalted, beautiful structure, fitted with easy chairs, carpeted l oxes, ornamented and furnished with curtains and appropriate furniture. The field would have been an arena far surpassing in beauty and adaptation anything yet prepared or imagined by the ultra fastidious. "Although base-ball has been but a side issue to my business, it has long been my desire to see just such a triumph is 1 have referred to 1 wanted Chicago to be the first to prepare a coliseum tor sports. The progress which the national game had been making during the last half-dozen years would have justified such an enterprise; but now, when we were within a year of launching our project. our pla'eis, the men whom we brought out, leave us and start an opposition league. The public loses its interest in the g<me, refuses to tnrn out, end the money that was saved to ennoble the game is to be devoted to maintaining a losing aggregation. “You ask what will be the end? That I can’t foresee, except that I believe the League will win the fight. If it doesn’t we will throw up our hands and let the other fellows go for the spoils. Chicago can’t support two clubs. In a game of such national interest there should be but one club to a town, and then all the patriotism would be centered on the work of that team. If the people decide that they want the Brotherhood to represent them, then it shall be in older for us to step down and out. If, on the other hand, Captain Anson shall win the support of the public the Brotherhood will have to

quit.” “Will yon take any of the old players back if you win?” “Ah, the work of reconstruction is not before us until the war is over. We’ll see to that then.” Base-r-aU Notes. Hardie Henderson, the old League twirler, is doing good work as a Western Association umpire. “Pretzel” Getzein must have got his arm back in form, as he is pitching winning ball for Boston. The Eastern papers have taken up the question of conflicting dates, and are urging the managers to do away with them. Sam Thompson has commenced to bat in his old-time form. If be keeps up his present form he will soon be in nrst place | in the League. Doug Allison, the once famous b.illplayer, is now usher in a museum. It won d be appropriate to put him in the 1 antiquity gallery. I Detioit seems to be a sure winner again in the race for the international pennant. The team is carrying everything before it.

Still he thinks that 1 irge sums of money will be dropped on both sides. The grounds of the Players’ and Nalional League in New York are divided only by a high board fence.

A Parisian ventriloquist blockaded a street in the French metropolist for half an hour by standing beside a sewer opening, from which seem to come repeated shouts for “Help! help!” A thorough exploration of the sewer was made by the police;but as they’ had to force the crowd from the opening, the ventriloquist was kept back xvith the rest, and then the shouts ceased. The Navajo Blanket. The Navajo tribe of Indians own immense flocks of well-bred sheep, and the wool clip averages one million five hundred thousand pounds annually. A part of this findsit xvay into the regular market through the traders, but the greater portion is carefully selected for the manufacture of blankets. After being cleaned, carded and dyed by a

process known only to themselves, the wool is ready for the loom. The weavers axe important personages, and will only perform the labor of making the blanket, therefore the work of erecting the hogan, which contains the loom, devolves upon the squaws. The hogan is made by planting six rough-hewn poles, about eight feet high, j in the earth at regular intervals, form- j ing a small square. On top of these I boughs of trees are placed to form a • roof and shade from the burning rays ' of the sun. The center poles form the sides of the room, and about a foot from the top and bottom cross poles, with holes bored through them for the warp, arc securely fastened with rawhide thongs. The warp is made from the fibres of the yucca tree. It is treated in a man ner known only to those who prepare it, • and the secret will not be divulged to a white man, therefore their blankets can only’ be duplicated in quality and texture by themselves. Formerly these 1 blankets were made solely for their own use, but since they were conquered by the government and thrown almost en- • tirely upon their own resources for a । livelihood, the value of their blankets । was impressed upon their minds by traders and has become the leading in--1 dustry.

Dr. Byford's name I is given in full as William Heath Byford, 1 aged 73 years and 2 months. He was I born in Eaton, ()., and had been a resl- - dent of this city thirty-three years. The । interment will be in Graceland cemetery at a time yet to be fixed. Dr. Bvford was at the time of his death the professor of gynecology in the । Rush medical college. In this branch 1 of medicine and surgery he was con- ‘ sidered the first in the profession in this country. He was the author of many text-books on the subjects that have always been accepted as the standard works both in this country and Europe and quoted by medical writers everywhere. Formerly he was instructor in the same branch in the Chicago Medical , college. He was an active member and has frequently been an officer at all local, state, and national associations and on two occasions has been selected to represent American physicians at in- ■ ternational congresses in Berlin,London, and Edinburg.
