Alexan- der Kent,at the Universalist ohureh, The statues of the city were garlanded with evergreensand flowers by @ committee of the G. A. R. As usual many people took advantage of the holi- picnic and excursion parties, with gossamers, umbrellas, and large baskets straggled from every direction towards the railroad depots and steamboat wharves, Ail of the resorts on the river and along the raflroads in the vicinity were occupied by excursion parties, This hegira, however, did not seem to have much affect Upon the attend..nce upon the memorial ‘The exercises ut the Soldiers’ Home and the Congressional cemeteries were held at 10 o'clock, The exercises at Arlington began at hoon. “The menibers of the Grand Army marched through the city in proces-ion on their way to Arlington as far us the Aqueduct bridge, where the parade was dismissed, The Procession. In the vieinity of the Grand Army head- quarters, at the corner of 9th and D streets, this morning groups of men in uniforms stand- ing at rest waiting for the signal to march, flags floating in the uir, the beat of drums and the stirring strains of the bands gave animation to the scene, which was stirred with the bustle of preparation. The veterans of the Grand Army posts were out in full force to pay their aunual tribute to those comrades who bad died fo the great contest of civil war. While legs and arms Were wanting, as could be seen by glancing aloug the ling, still, as bas been the custom, there were but few carrlages—the veterans, although disabled ‘by take their places in the rauks in paying this tribute of remembrance to their tallen com- rades, While the posts were forming on D street the troors of the regular army iortued on the avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, They were preceded by the band of tce 3d ur Ullery, and were under the command of Briga- dier General Horatio G. Gibson, who was uc- companied by bis staff mounted.’ The regular trowps consisted of one company of aruidery and three companies dismounted as infanury, und tuey were us follows: 3d battalion, 3d ar tek Capt.

VIEWS OF A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN—HE THINKS THEIR ONLY SALVATION 18 THROU CLEVELAND—AND TUFY HAD BETFER NoT MEDDLE WITH THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW. RE THE DEMO. ATS. The legistative appropriation bill is likely to give the democrats considerable trouble. There | Wil bea bitter Aight on the anti-civil service Teform features when it comes up this week, and they are in danver of failing into an error that may have v ry serious political results, The republicans will do nothing to prevent this, aiter they have fixed the responsibility where it belongs. The provision atta ned to the appropriation for the civil service commisston Providing that the money shal! not be avail- able until the rules have been so changed as to permit the head of adepartment to select his appointee from the whole lst of eligibles, is clearly in violation of the rute of the House against legisiation upon appropriation bili Yet it seeinx quite likely that this ism going to be allowed to operate against it. Mr. Springer, as chairman of the committee of Uh whole house, as made several rulings, Wh though covering points not quite so broad a this, furnish a sort of precedent for its adiuis- sion, and it may be that if be ts in the chair he will hold that the provision I= not a violation of the rales. What is more likely, however, i that the House will be calied upon to decide the oint of order for itself. In this case the provis- jon would doubtless -tand. “We are going to get ourselves into trouble over this matter,” member toaSrar reporter. “The democrats, If they are vot caretul, will rush blindly into a fight on the civ i) service law, and there is no telling where it will land them. The bill Is full Of snugs that may be very annoying to the Party In the future, The republicans see it and will heip them into trouble. The potnt of order alnst this civil service clause will, in all prob- ability, be referred to the House. It is easy to see what the result will be. The democrats had better be careful. There were only two thing | in the platiorm on which they elected a Presi- deut—tariff and elvil service returms. Relorm! That was the issue. But they haven't retormed, aud won't, If they don’t look ont they will find Uhat they have repudiated all their promises, It is the fault of the purty managers that the protnised returms have not been eflected, complained that the republicans | were making the government pay their political, and even private debts, by the use of patron: age; that some of the ‘private’ debis were & scandal and wdiszrace, Well, we have not cor- rected this; ad these men do not want to cor- rect it, The fuet is that they have been paying their debts in the same way. My atteution is called to examples of It in the departmen And look atall the postmasterg and customs and revenue officers! Mr, Cleveland has not been able to hold the party in check. Tacy bave already distributed Une cream of the offices to pay their political debts. SUL they are abusing the President He catches it_on buih sides. “There have bee some eleven thousand democratic postmasters appointed, about 2,500 by the Presi- dent and ‘8,500. by Ube Postmaster General, True, this is oniy about one outof ten, but the other uine are not worth having. Asa rule, wbody Wanls them. Tue democrats have taken Ube cream of all the offices, and when they com- plain they are not sincere.” I can't give you the figures oll-hand, but the Blue Book shows that the democrats now get. the largest share of the money appropriated Yor the expenses of te goverument, Members and Senators complain ubout the administration, but they would not like w come ou: as anti-administration men, bey age still asking favors and trying to skim deeper. Tara not at ail sure that the party will Stuy at the head of affairs. If we are saved It will be by Cieveland, but 1 um notat all cont dent.
