Elaborate and impressive as they were, the services at Arling ton over the bodies of l. I of those who perished in the Maine disas ter was but a fitting tribute to men whose1 memories will be cherished as those of heroes. The explosion which wrecked the Maine, and sent L'C; brave souls to eternity, was one of those shots hen l-d round the world. Following fast iu ils wake, hur ried by its reverberations, came the war with Spain, by which the shackles of governmental tyranny were struck from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The progress of liberty was acceler ated, aud the blessings of free government have been, or will lie, brought to countless millions of people whose development was retarded, whose oporttiuitios were restricted, aud whose pence and happiness were nullified by the ma! -administration, in this progressive age, of a medieval government. But for the Maine disaster and the sacrifices of American seamen, the West In dies and tin Philippines might bo languishing as they languish ed for cent ur'ios. It was that terrible explosion, with the screams and means of the dying, which brought the matter to is sue, and made the interference of ibis nation iu the affairs of Spain imperative. It is not, therefore, fatuous to accredit these men, who went too soon in to the eternity of the future, with the achievements that followed fast upon their taking-oii. They died'as martyr heroes in liberty's cause1, aud it is tit and proper that a nation should honor their memories - tlr.it they should be laid to their final rest with the other heroes of u liberty-loving nation. They are buried in hal lowed grouud. Round about theni are the graves of those whose names are interwoven with the nation's history, and whose lives have boon given iu the na tion's service. The fresh mounds in Arlington will give that beauti ful city of the dead added sacred ness, and in the future the thought of those who regard the Stars and Stripes as the dearly bought emblem of absolute liber ty whether they be here, in Cu ba, Puerto .Rico or the Philip pines will involuntarily turn to Arlington, and a silent prayer will ascend to the . Judge of our destinies for "The Maine Dead." WIM.KK KNIGHTHOOD IS IN SHADOW AND SI NSIIINI.. I I.OWI.U.
