CALM SURVEY.
very prominent. intelligent and loyal &C.
told me recently that it struck her very
forcibly that what has been said in our columns
of late against the opposite sex on both hands
has been too much in the nature of mutual re-
elimination The sister criticized the &C. SIS
tiers as well as the brothers, aud to me it seems
that she is right.
Why not engage in that noblcr emulation of
wl.o be of tho greatest help TO another
which would be simply carrying out the great
tenets and fundamental principles of our pat
riotic club?
1t is my impression that If the sisters had
calmly and dispassionately resorted to histori-
cal facts bearing upon the splendid achieve
ments and progress of their seq, or simply
treated the insinuations Of their pessimstic
opponents as unworthy of their earnest strife or
intelligent consideration the effect would have
been far more satisfactory 10 their sacred cause,
aud the rebake which they thus would have
inflicted would have been more lasting and
widespread.
Instead of their opponents laughing at them,
probably as they never laughed before, because
of having wrought them up to righteous in-
digaation, they would have lapsed into quiet
seclusion, in humble modification of their
childish, naughty conduct. In doing this,
rather than Offering TO smokethc "peace pipe"
or unfairly Judging all men by the impious
few, they would have justly earned larger
measure of intelligent sympathy from the &C.
as whole.
do not believe the average American man
needs to offer an apology to his Maker, or fell
low man, as respects his treatment of, and gal
liant conduct to- woman. In point of manly
Difference which he habituaiy exercises to-
wards his mother, sisters aud all fair, worthy
daughters OF Eve, he has not superior, even
equal, on this great and goodly planet.
For this and other similar reasons think
| that all this TRADE of tiresOme twadde against
our noble American manhood is sentimental
garbage.
Why not exercise little more common
sense and fair-play in matters Of this kind,
since men and women alike are dependent
upon each other for their highest mental, moral
| aud spiritual uplifting and Advancement

livcring the address which follows
Veterans, we welcome you because you fought
so bravery and were ready 10 give up your
lives 10 defence oil our country; and 10 is with
great happiness that we meet you aud look into
your friendly faces, knowing that to-day We
are enjoying the fruits of your labor in the
peace and freedom which bless our beautiful
land.
Ycnr own hearts, too, must be thrilled with
peculiar pleasure you meet Your comrades
and grasp the hands Of those with whom you
stood shoulder to shoulder on the field Of
battle.
Memory recalls TO you those days when
amid shot and shell, you beheld your com.
panions fall, one after another, yet you must
needs fight on, leaving them TO suffer aud die,
perhaps alone.
The bloody scenes Of Charlottesville YOU
well recollcct, where You entered the battle
| with ST. officers and enlisted men, and lost 326
| in killed, wounded and missing. and it was for
you that were spoken the dying words of Gen.
| Whipple when he said, as he was carried from
the field MORALLY wounded, II hope / may
| live long enough to give Col. Potter and his
| brave men Just report"
| Not 10 be easily forgotten was that long. toll
| some march toward Gettysburg, when, already
| suffering from deadly fatigue and the weakness
| caused by short ratiOns, you pushed OIL through
| the burning heat to meet the foe, while MANY
| of your brave men fell exhausted by the way.
4 Bnt when at last you reached the famous
4 field. the sight OF your enemy made you strong
| and yon fought with will, determined to con-
| quer or die. At the close of this battle only
| l3G OF the pa of your regiment who engaged
| in it remained. Al Cold Hsrbor over one. half
| OF your number fell under the fire of your op-
ponents
Oh. how the memory of those events must
| come to you as you meet each other to-day.
| knowing that you fought in the same battles
under the same flag and for tho same cause
How you prize all the little relics which re-
| mind you of those days. and how you like TO
show them 10 your children and grand ch rem
| as you tell them stories OF the war not only of
| the hardships you endured but of happy DAYS
| as well.
| How your hearts are filled with gratitude to
