MEMORIAL DAY-
General Orders No. 12.
Headquarters Department of Penn
sylvania, Grand Army of the Repub
lic, S. W. Cor. Fifth and Chestnut
Streets.
PHILADELPHIA, April 5, 1898.
I. 'Tis thirty-three years since the
rifle and the sabre were displaced by
the hammer and the plough ; thirty
three years since the uniform of blue
was exchanged for the habiliments of
peace ; thirty-three years oi achieve
ments that impress the truism, "Peace
hath her victories no less renowned
than war."
Monuments have been reared to
our heroes and to their heroic deeds,
some casting shadows on placid waters,
others standing above mountain tops;
"but neither classic bust, nor monu
mental marble, nor lofty cenotaph,
nor stately urn, nor enduring bronze,
nor everlasting granite, can add to
the glory of our dead comrades in this
land they loved so well."
Again we are approaching Memorial
Day, again, with fragrant flowers,
sweet music and patriotic eloquence,
shall we stand by the side of the
graves of our comrades and- pay to
them the tribute of our heart's affec
tion—of our loving remembrance of
their gallant deeds—and over the little
green mounds, which are now their
bivouacs, renew our devotion to their
memories and to the cause for which
they battled.
Loving hands shall place the ever
green and the rose, the lily and the
violet, on the hillocks ot green which
mark the resting places of our soldier
and sailor dead, sweet voices shall
sing their praises and fervent hearts
shall teach eloquent tongues to rev
erentially voice gems of thought in
memory ot our heroes gone.
Our Memorial Day is not a day for
sack- cloth and ashes : it is not a day
for mourning or for fasting, nor should
it be a day devoted by any patriotic
American to frivolous festivities or to
holiday pastimes. It is a day for the
flag, for flowers, for music, for patriot
ic ism, a day for communing with the
who died that the Nation might
for the dead who offered all they
that "this Nation might not perish
off the earth."
Let idl the people gather spring
er garlands to decorate
V our m o* ve * ; not one shall be
■ forgotten. In twining wreaths on
r monuments to leaders we pay a tribute
' to those who were led ; a rose bud on
the grave of private soldier or sailor
symbolizes our iove for the memory of
all who wore the Union blue whether
on land or on sea; whether they sleep
their last sle p amid tablets of marble
or of bronze or found their final rest
ing-place beneath the waters of our
rivers and seas.
"The meanest rill, the mightiest river
Roll mingling with their fame forever."
11. If arrangements have not al
ready been made for attendance ot
Posts at Divine Service on Sunday,
May 29th, they should be perfected at
once. This is one of the essential
features of our Memorial Services,
and Churches of all denominations
will gladly aid in your participation in
the worship of God.
111. It is recommended that, where
feasible, Posts will arrange with the
Pastors of the churches at which this
part of the service is held, to select
texts illustrative of "The gains to
American citizenship by the success
of the Union soldier" and "The un
questioned and everlasting right of
the cause of those who battled for the
Union."
IV. The success attending the
visits to the public schools by the
comrades on the school-day next pre
ceding May 30th has been so great
that the continuance of the custom is
urged. Tell the children in your own
way what the old flag represents, how
it was followed in suffering, danger
and deatll; how it was brought back
with not a star missing and with free
dom for all emblazoned on its stripes.
Impress love of country and the duties
and blessings of American citizenship;
what it cost ,o preserve it for them
0 and for those who shall follow them.
Tell the sch ;ol children of our Me
mori?l Day, and what it means, and
the future men and women of America,
with the object lesson of patriotic
teaching from the hps of living men
who bore their part gallantly on battle
fields, will remember them while
memory lasts, and they will learn, too,
what patriotism means.
V. Interest your neighbors in Me
morial Day, whether they be soldiers
or non-soldiers. Make a place for
organizations to be with you. Though
a Post be numerically small it can
make its ceremonies and its services
on Memorial Day so interesting that
men, women and children will want to
participate in paying homage to our
dead comrades.
VI. In localities where there is
more than one Post arrangements will
oe made by them for a division of the
work. This can best be accomplished
by the officers or committees.
VII. It is again directed that May
30th is Memorial Day, not decoration
day. The latter term is one applied
by those who seek to divert the day to
games, races, etc.
The only authoritative Grand Army
designation is Memorial Day, and it
is urged that the newspapers, the
public and all comrades give emphasis
to this on every occasion.
By command of Department Com
mander W. D. Stauffer.
CHAS. L. LEIPER,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Superintendents and Teachers are
urged to have this Order read on the
school day preceding Memorial D.->y
—say May 27th —and would do well
to preserve this issue of the COLUMBIAN
for that purpose.
Flags-
A stranger dropping upon us from
a far country would conclude that we
were decked out for a week's national
festivities and rejoicings, so gay is our
land with many colored bunting.
From north to south, from east to
west, it flutters upon the spring winds,
our own red, white and blue banner
mostly, with the flags of other nations
friendly to us intertwined here and
there. Close together upon the same
building in our large cities are seen
a* one side the British union jack
draped with the United States flag,
while on the other side the stars and
stripes and the green flag of Erin with
its harp of gold wave out through
cloud and sunshine.
At the seat of the Canadian govern
ment, Ottawa, jwhen recently the St.
George's society held a banquet, one
of the most notable decorations in
their hall was the flags of Great
Britain and the United States inter
twined and the most honored guest of
the occasion was the United States
consul general at Ottawa, Colonel C.
E. Turner. Even Irishmen, who have
cause enough, heaven knows, for a
grudge at Great Britain, are inclined
to cease gibing her for the present
because she is friendly to the United
States, which welcomes as our truest
citizens the sons of Erin and makes
them policemen to guard the peace of
our large cities.
And ever in the midst of the sea of
bunting that over our land flashes
in and out most notable of all the
beautiful flag of free Cuba, with its
five blue and white stripes and its own
brilliant star upon the red ground,
emblem of the glory and the suffering
of the patriot island, its white purity
of purpose, its blue steadfast fidelity
to that purpose, its red the blood
the patriots have shed to win their
liberty.
For us of the United States, next
to the glory of being the nation to
make Cuba tree, is the satisfaction of
knowing that the flags of so many
other countries are intertwined with
ours in sincere friendship and good
will at this moment. It is the best
evidence that we are a nation of peace
and that we wish well to all peoples
who love liberty.— Ex.
Bring Our Heroes Home !
The beautiful song "Bring Our
Heroes Home" dedicated to the
Heroes of the U. S. Battleship Maine
is one of the finest national songs ever
written. The words ring with patriot
ism and the music is stirring and full
of fire, and fitting the noble sentiment
to which it is dedicated. Arranged
for Piano and Organ. This song and
sixteen other pages of full sheet music
will be sent on receipt of 25 cents.

Spain,
A scarred old snarling lion with scraggy, tat
tered mane.
Ilis claws and teeth all broken, lies the
ancient realm of Spain j
With the thirst for blood still on him, and
still with hungry maw,
11 e rends poor bleeding Cuba, prostrate there
beneath his paw.
lie's a fierce and famed man-eater, and from
early days of yore,
lias ravaged many an island, wasted many a
teeming shore,
And the victims number millions whom his
strength has overpowered.
Whom with ravening, bloody slaughter he
has mangled and devoured ;
But his roar grows faint and hollow, and a
hunter from the West,
Will snatch away fair Cuba, with her torn
and bleeding breast,
And send him howling, limping, reviled of
gods and men,
Back to growl midst bones and darkness in
his mediaeval den. A. 11.

Who Should Enlist-
Gov. Hastings, in addressing the

Guard, told the men that if they were
so situated that they could do so they
should enlist, but "if the accumula
tions or savings of a man's indusrry
or thrift are to be swept away, if those
dependent upon him will suffer by his
enlistment, it is his patriotic duty to
remain at home and care for them,
and no citizen or soldier will dare
raise hand or voice against his loyalty
Y>r patriotism."
