Famons Regiments Second March
Through Baltimore.

Famons Regiments Second March
Through Baltimore.
Times change and men change with
them. This truth is recalled by the
reception accorded the Sixth Massa-
chusetts Regiment In Baltimore while
ON it's way to the encampment in Falls
Church, Va, to aid in crushing Spain.
This greeting was splendid in concep-
ton and carrying out and reflects great
credit upon the Baltimoreans who left
nothing undone that could contribute
to the glorifcation of the Bay State
soldiery while within the confines Of
Marylands great city. In marked con-
trast to this was the reception given to
the same regiment in the same city On
April 10, 1861, while on it's way to
Washington. Then the command was
set upon by mob numbering thou
sands, and before the regiment cut it's
way through the Infatuated multitude
five soldiers were killed and twenty
four wounded. The number of dead
and wounded in the assaulting column
was never correctly ascertained, but
from the most authentic sources at
least thirty were killed and more than
100 wounded. The fight was desperate
for more than a mile and the yo4leys of
the soldiers were given with the muz-
zles Of their guns within few feet of
those who disputed their passage. This
assault made the regiment famous, as
1t was the first blood shed In the civil
conflict.
The commander, Edward F. Jones,
scented an uprising in January, 1861,
and had his companies, chiefly from
Boston, ready weeks before the firing
on Fort Sumter. As soon as President
Lincoln issued the call for $4,000 men
Jones had the Sixth in motion and had
the honor Of leading the first regiment
down Broadway, New York, for the

moreans and led to general arming
of the men. and boys, who threatened to
massacre any Northern troops that
should attempt the march through
their city. The public mind became SO
inflamed that the Mayor pleaded with
President Lincoln to withhold his as
sent to having any more regiments
pass through, as 1t might lead to the
destruction of the city.
The order was secured and Washing
ton. for some time after, was reached
by Northern regiments going around
by way of Annapolis and avoiding Bal
timore. It was several weeks before
Baltimore cooled down sufficiently to
permit Union soldiers to march unmo-
Tested through her streets.
Long ago Boston and Baltimore made
up for this scrimmage and have been
the best friends since, and it was at
the request of the Marylanders that the
Sixth Regiment, equipped for service
against a foreign foe, be invited to
tread the streets where her march was
so rudely disturbed thirty-seven years
ago. The invitation was promptly ac-
cepted by Col. Woodward and his men.
When the regiment arrived there 1t met
with a magnificent welcome. For four
hours thousands hung around the
Mount Royal station awaiting the sol
dires. When they did arrive 10000 peo-
pie were massed in the square and a
great shout went up as the Boston boys
left the train. A delegation of 200 of
the leading citizens headed by Mayor
Master met the troops. The Mayor in
words touching and tender addressed
the Sixth, and babe them God-speed on
their journey, and then presented a
floral shield in the shape of large bas-
ket of choice flowers Across the face of
the floral shield was the inscription in
violets: Maryland and Massachusetts"
On treamers extending from the basket
were the inscriptions: Baltimore wei
comes the Sixth Massachusetts"
FLOWERS, Not Bullets" God Bless
You and Bring You Safely Home"

It has been said that the loss of life
and property by war is lesser evil
than the attendant or resultant damage
done to the quality of whole peoples
life by mental and moral distraction.
A popular war excitement is like "a
house afire." It is no small calamity
that the orderly life Of millions Of peo-
pie should be interrupted; that thought
and feeling should be turned away from
ordinary business, common duty and
the gentle methods Of culture; that the
aimless expenditure Of nervous energy
and the rush of blood to the head
should cause an epidemic of moral In
sanity. Whatever happens or does not
happen, eur people should keep cool In
these eventful war days. To the SOL
der, simple self-possession Is the bet
ter part of courage and Of discipline.
So it should be with that great mass
of our people who, in time Of war as in
time of peace, constitute the home
guard of American civilization. Firm,
soldierly qualities are everywhere IA
demand. If we keep all our wits about
US, we shall be none too well furnished
for the present crisis. We have great
deal to care for besides the war; in
fact, everything for which we ought to
care If war did not exist. The exciting
character of the duties imposed by the
war itself must not uncentre or unbal-
ance us-must not allow our best life to
be interrupted.

seat of war. The New Workers gave
the troops an uproarious welcome. AS
soon as it was learned they Were to
go through Baltimore the people of
that city became very indignant and
proposed to forcibly prevent it. At
Philadelphia the frowning attitude of
the Monumental City was communi-
Gated to the soldiers en- route, whose
good time was suddenly interrupted by
the order to load their guns with ball
cartridge. This meant an ugly recep-
ton.
The troops arrived in the hostile city
in a crowded station filed with angry
men who hurled excavations at the ar
irving soldiery. Finding this did not
provoked quarrel, as the Sixth emerged
into the street a fusilade was begun,
and soon the air was filed with flying
missiles hurled at the invaders. Sew
eral were struck and then the regiment
turned and faced its assailants. This
did not deter the unorganized foe and
the command was given to fire. When
the smoke lifted several Of the dead
and dying rioters were stretched on the
ground and panic-stricken mob was
hunting a place of safety. A running
fight was kept up until the regiment
reached the depot on the other side Of
the city, when it was found that five
Of the members had been shot to death
and many wounded. The ride to Wash
ington was without interruption. The
bodies of the dead soldiers were con-
veyed to their homes and a great fu-
neral procession took place In Boston.
A noble monument to their memory is
erected ON one of the main streets in
Worcester, where most of the killed
were from.

There is no refinement in war and
there can be but little consideration for
an opponent in any sort of a contest
where there Is prize to win. In war,
especially, there is no reason why a
great country should not employ all it's
resources to overcome small country.
War is a dreadful thing and ought to
be brought to close at the earliest mo-
ment possible consistent with the cause
of justice and the honor of the country
which is in the right.

It Is little more than 100 years ago
that the events began to shape them
selves which came to crisis just be-
fore the close of the century, and in
vited the French revolution. How sin
gularfy similar is the history that Italy
has been making lately. The story of
1890 is the story Of 1898. It is re-
volt against the unequal conditions that
society throws about the toilers and the
drones who sit in authority.

The springs bread riots in Italy were
full of significance, and we shall be
surprised if they do not lead, indirect
ly, to complications that will involve
the whole of Europe. It is one of the
axioms of monarchy that when discon-
tent and dissatisfaction begin to pre-
vail at home 1t Is time to divert atten-
tion by war abroad. The complexion
OF affairs in continental Europe is be-
ginning to take on the hue and color
which, according to the familiar teach
1ng of history, precede strife and COM
motion.
