HARMONIOUS EFFORT. For the first time in the local history of Memorial day all the various bodies of patriotic women worked as one mdividual to make the occasion a floral success, and in spite of the fact that flowers were’ very scarce this spring the results were satisfactory inevery respect. In fact, a glance at the multitude of graves in Arlington would produce the impres- sion that the display was more elaborate than it has ever heretofore been. This'effect may be due to the better judgment which seems to have been in operation, for of a reck- Jess distribution of the perfumed beauties there wreath of white immortelles, with the letters G.

Webster in the north and Calhoun in the south had fought the great forensic battles. Those Sumsons of intellect and human thought stood out before the world as mountain peaks in 9 desert. The great peacemaker between the sections, Henry Clay, being from neutral old Kentucky, sought to heal the national malady by compromises. These only allayed the irrita- tion, they could not cure. The cause was too deepseated for external applications. ‘The sur- geon’s knife must be applied and blood must fi low. ‘The conflict came; the cancer was cut out. A race of men was emancipated.

Mr. Cleve- land, it is understocd, has been making similar efforts lately, though the first move was made with his approval. It is pretty generally agreed now that it is too late to change the course of the convention, and that a contesting delegation will be sent to Chicago. Some of those who have been inter- esting themselves in the matter and are very anxious lest Mr. Cleveland's chances for the nomination should be seriously injured by the presence of two delegations, say that there is no doubt now that the Grace folks will form a new organization from the ground up, appointing a new state committee and sending a delegation to Chicago.
