THE BX CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS

Twenty-Five years have passed since
the termination of the civil war IN thia
country. Years which have rolled
rapidly away from the darkness Of
ruined homes and shattered lives,
through the shadows of reconstruction,
into the sunshine of comparative resto-
ration. Years which have brought
peace and pensions TO almost every
| federal soldier underneath the stars
aud stripes, with added homes for
those whom the war left stranded,
shipwrecked aud helpless. Years OF
abundant assistance 10 the brave men
| who tramped after Grant III the wilder
ness, and stood with Sheridan at Stone
river; who marched with Banks
through Arkansas and with Sherman
to the sea; who fought anu bivouacked
In Virginia, in Tennessee and In Mis-
sour, and who passed In triumphal
| procession down Pennsylvania avenue,
amid the plaudits OF the world, and to
the music OF q victory the most famous
In the history OF Val.
They have been gladstone years TO
the federal soldier. Through the
righteous exercise of power and charity
on the part OF the government he has
been enabled to restore in u measure
his ruined home, his dissipated fortunes
and his health. He is living to-day
| God bless him- in the consciousness
oi strength, and in the favor OF the
nation.
But where is the confederate soldier
who turned back from Appomattox TO
the smouldering ruins OF his home and
the bitterness OF defeatf Where is the
hero who hitched his war horse TO the
plough aud bowed his head toward the
iurrow2 That soldier who rode down
with Pelham at Shilo and with Stuart
at Yellow TAVERN Who braved the
oannon's mouth at Franklin, at Look
out Mountain and at Corinth? Who
laid in the trenches and slept on his
arhls, and walked barefoot into battle?
That soldier to whom Grant permitted
the possession of a plough horse and
side arms, and who sat down and wept
honest tears over the downfall Of his
cause and his government.
Without pensions, without friends,
badgered aud prosecuted by scheming
demagogues who faced him on
the battlefield, he sought bread for
himself aud his starving family from
the labor Of his hands. His fight tor
life during twenty five years has been
as noble as his four years. fight for
truth, and In a majority Of instances
his victories have been plucked from
the ashes of defeat.
But there are old confederate soldiers
to day in want, in poverty and distress.
There are widows and orphans OF con.
federate soldiers who are to-day house
less, homeless aud upon the charity OF
the people. Those who have met with
better fortunes will surely see TO il that
neces sites of this kind are met.
Federal and confederate alike will
surely join in the movement now
inaugurated to open a soldiers home
for the care of the aged, the sick and
the helpless whose poverty was born OF
the honors of civil A trifle here

aud we are mistaken in the temper Of
Missourians if the response to so noble
a call is not quick, abundant and cheer
full, without regard to lines or creeds
