Auuusta's Welcome to the Volunteers.

AUGUSTA ) WcICVHiC ~ tUC SVtuUtCCIS'
This is a great day in the history OF
Augusta. For the second time in its
existence the volunteer troops of Maine
are assembling within its borders. pre-
paring to so to the front to fight in
defense of our country. When the Ma
tional Guard of the State marched
through our streets, last August at
the close of its annual tour of duty in
this city, we little thought the boys in
blue would return again before another
muster week. But in the meantime the
peace of over generation is broken,
and for the first time in almost CEN
fury our country faces a European
foe. The occasion is the vindication of
the militia's existence. Almost as one
man our well trained, well equipped
citizen soldiers step at once to the
front as volunteers to fill Names quota
for the war Today, from every sec
ton of the State, the companies of
our National Guard come to Augusta
to be mustered into the service of the
national government. They are picked
young men of our State, typical sons
of a noble mother, inspired by the
loftiest motives of patriotism, ready to
sacrifice their lives in defense of the
tlag their fathers saved.
Let Augusta give the troops a fitting
welcome. this afternoon. There is no
time nor is it any occasion, to arrange
The most effective welcome will be SIM
plest and most spontaneous. Let the
whole city turn out 10 greet the regi-
ments as they arrive. Let business be
suspended. the last part of the after
noon. Let Old Glory meet their eyes on
every side. The city should be alive
with flags. the beautiful emblem of all
we love and live for. home, country and
the right. Let the streets along the
line of march be crowded. and let us
show the volunteers of Maine by our
presence. our flags and our cheers that
we honor their loyalty and courage
Let US show them that our hearts and
hopes are with them. Let us show them
that Augusta is alive and loyal, the
worthy Capital of the great State whose
proud motto is "DirigO.'

The Moral Issue.

Don't lose sight of the fact that there
is great moral issue in the war our
country Is now waging with Spain.
The United States has not entered upon
a war of conquest or a war Of revenge.
1t is lighting. to be sure, in defense of
its rights and to uphold it's national
honor. 1t is fighting to protect its
commerce and to shield its citizens.
But more than all this, and above all
this. it is Waging a disinterested war
fare in behalf of humanity and free
dom. 1t has taken up arms to rescue
from oppression a doWn-trodden race
and to place in its hands the blessed
torch Of liberty.
Never in all history has there been
a grander spectacle than that upon
which the world now gazes; never was
a more holy or justiliable war under
taken than the present one by this
country to drive Spain from Cuba. 1t is
a battle of angels of mercy against
the fiends of desolation and sorrow.
The great heart of great people has
been stirred to pity and compassion by
the suffering at its doors. and Ameri-
ca is doing what no nation ever did
before, WaGing an unselfsh war. with.
out reward or gain, to succor the OPP
ressed and punish the oppressor.
Thank God that our government did
not listen to the sordid cry that 1T is
civilized people, if we profess Chris
tianity. if we are true to our traditions
Of freedom and progress. if we are go
ing forward instead of backward. it is
our business to see that the present in
sufferable conditions in Cuba cease at
once. 1t was a duty we owed the COM
mon cause of humanity To intervene
there at once. and when the measures
of peace no longer awaited against the
treachcry and bascncss Of Spain il was
our duty to appeal 10 arms as we have
done. Fhc war against Spain is just
war. and a Just God Of Battles will aid
