VETERANS At REST.
Continued from Sixth Page

There came time in the history of our
country when the liberties bequeathed rs by
our forefathers were endangered. There
came time when it was to be decided
whether our people were capable of govern.
ing Reconsideration
TIE PROBLEM OF SELF GOVERNMENT
was to be solved There came time when
the life blood Of the nation was threatened,
and when our very existence as q nation
hung trembling in the balance. There
came time when we were forced to decide
between freedom and slavery. Our govern
ment, founded on the broad principle of
human rights, could no longer exist while
the rights Of man were disregarded In
short, there came time when the people OF
the isirest portion of our fair land said to
their brothers, we viii destroy this govern
ment Though we hsveived together for more
than threequsrters of q century our destiny
shall no longer be your destiny, but we will
establish another nation; we will not be
bound By your constitution and your laws;
We viii secede, and we will show to the
world that our experiment at selt-govern-
ment is failure.
Nearly q quarter of century has passed
since the spark that fred the first
Confederate gun at Fort Sumpter flashed
ike lightning through the land, leaving q
spot that burned like fire in every patriotic
breast. a nation was aroused. UnhOly re-
bellion was among US. 1t was then that
the loyal sons Of The North, East, West and
South rallied around the old flag.
1t was then that our citizens
BECAME SOLDIERS IN DAY
and marched to the front to defend with
their lives the union of the States. Long
and bloody was the conflict. A million of
men feed each other, and for four long
years the morning sun arose amid the boom
ing Of cannon, and the evening sun set amid
the clashing OF steel and the rattle of mus
kerry. From the first msrshaEug of the
hosts to the grand review at the close, from
the first battle st Bull Run to the going
down Of the sun az Appomattox, what bra
very WAS displayed on either side! On
hundred battle fields it was shown
that no truer or Drawer soldiers
live than were ours. And these battle
fields were covered with the dead and the
dying. and the mountain streams ran red
with the blood of our comrades. The torch,
the exc, the sword and disease, ell did their
work. half million of men were hurled
into eternity by shot and she'll; many more
DIED of disease, while Thousands sleep near
the sites OF the foul prison pens in graves
marked unknown" Drawer men never
went forth to battle than the thousands who
sleep in the lonely graves far away, or in
our cemeteries.
No State in the Union took more active
or prominent part in this great conflict than
did West Virginia. Born amid the throes
of the greatest revolution the world ever
btheld, she stood as

Ii is meet, then, that throughout the
length and breadth of the land, from ocean

today the great business life Of the nation
in a measure stilled in order that the peo-
pie may pay q fitting tribute to the departed.
The speaker then appealed to those Of
the old soldiers who had not as vet entered
the ranks of the Grand Army,
to come forward and sign its rolls,
saying the army could do them great good,
and they could do the army good. He ex-
planned the object of the order and said that
the common assertion that partisan politics
entered into its aims and missions, was en-
tirely untrue.
He tSen recited in very effective way
the poem Cover them over with Beautiful
Flowers" and brought his splendid address
to close.
The children then sang The Star Span
gIed Banner" with an accompaniment by the
band and G. ". Baggs brought the exercises
to a close with brief address, in which he
returned thanks on behalf Of the G A. r.
for the active cooperation lent them by the
citizens during the day.

sons, though few in number, comparatively
speaking all barred their bosoms TO the com.

field the Army of West Virginia showed
that the spirit Of her people was inyincible,
and to-day we mourn the death of many who

They sleep all over the State, wherever there
is battlefield, and on many Southern

leave them to their conscience and their
God, and am willing to drop tear to their
memory and flower on the grave Of those
who died fighting for what they conceived
to be right, though it vas against the best
government on earth. But if we do not
believe in the eternal righteousness Of the
cause Tor which we fought, and for which
our dead comrades gave their lives; and if
we must apologize for having fought for the

monies to day worse than a mockery.

Fred Grant this evening. "He dictated
for an hour today and will finish UP the
Appomatox campaign to morrow. He
begins now to be confident that he will
recover. He had number of the
resolutions and other epistles read to
him to-day which have been lately sent,

mass meeting Of its citizens. The pain
