The workingmen of our cities and
towns, who are still at work, cannot af.
ford to support their striking comrades in
idleness much longer. The outside family
is too large, and the workingman's wife
and children need his wages. The re-
sponses to the calls for aid NJ % soon fall
off, and the sooner the strikers decide to
return to work the more likely will they
be to get work when they want it.

DE KALRIN THE CHURCH

la his sermon yesterday morning,
on Memories and Monuments
Rev. r. FL. Williams, of the Presby-
terrain Church, referring to the men,
orials erected by the Israelites of old
to commemorate the goodness of God
to them as people. said:
In the unwilling of the statue to
commemorate the valor of De Kalb,
we see this great nation by its re-
pre- en.atives comforting lasting honor
upon foreigner, whose services were
rendered in the war of the revolution,
more than century ago.
No greater honor can be conferred
then to fix in bronze or marble, the
features and form of a person to be
gazed at and venerated by succeeding
generations. Here this statue will
stand through all the changes of this
city u remind the bcholder of the
war that made US free and indepen-
dent nation, ADD recall the Invaluable
services of the allied forces.
To come to this work of remem-
braIce after a century has passed,
shows that posterity approves the re-
solution to erect this memorial, and
that they have no reason from SUBJ
sequent knowledge to think that De
Kalb was unworthy of the honor.
Character like truth is tested by
time, and name that does not drop
out of sight after century, must be
worthy of lasting remembrance.
As we study this character as be
frst comes to learn our difficulties
and need, or as.he afterWard offered

FELLOW CITIZENS:

FELLOW CITIZENS:
In obedience to the official
duty imposed by the act of Con
gress authorizing the erection
of this monument, as the Secre-
tary Of State, in the name and
behalf of the Government and
people of the United States. /
do now accept this Statue OF
Baron De Kalb, a Major General
in the army of the United States.
One hundred and six years
have rolled by since this bronze
man laid down his life in the
great struggle ito make,n as
Jefferson wrote this Govern
ment in practice what it is in
principle-a model for the pro-
lection of man in a State of free
dom and order"
The resolution of the Cont
mental Congress of October 1880,
has been executed, and at last
we see
"The nation meanlY wise and slowly
just"
To buried merit raise the taidy bust
And standing in the presence
of this counterfeit presentment
of the honored dead, what a les
son are we, who to-day gather
around this statue to learn from
it, and what is to be taught by
it to the succeeding generations
SO soon to follow us
The man in whose honor we
raise this statue-whose mem
DRY we would thus keep green
in American hearts and homes,
came to aid our forefathers in
their desperate and fearful strug
gle for liberty and Independence
After refe ring to the charac-
teristics of De Kalb, his jealous
cause andmotives that prompted
his action in coming to the
United States, and his subse-
quent course in the Continental
armies. he said: And nowhere
more fifty can his image stand
than at the Capital of Maryland,
for, as the epitaph ordered by
the Continental Congress in 1870
recites, De Kalb fell, leading
on the troops of Maryland and
Delaware lines against superior
understanding them to
deeds of valor, and pierced with
many wounds"
An unbought and unpurchasa-
bic patriotic devotion is prac-
teal reality-a vital force, to-
day in this country, and will not
die SO long as the memory OF
such men as John Kalb survives
and is cherished among us.
We regret that want of space
will not permit us giving the
full context of the Secretary's
remarks in this issue.
