Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-10-03

Our victory let us net sully it by erring
criticisms Do you expect to see great
armies in the field and no one die? Why,
L. s. Grant would kill more men before
breakfast than died in the entire campaign
in Cuba. Suffering there must be, and lack
of food there will be in every war. In the
civil war 1t was So | went three days
without food one time, and yet / didn't say
anything when l got home, and I'm glad
We We're not prepared for war, for that
means that we are a people of peace. Most
remarkable is the triumph in ninety days
| of our unframed. inexperienced troops
"Oh! this is a time for joy. This is a
time fer Thanksgiving. If some have died,
If some have suffered, they died and they
suffered for their country. Let us praise
GCd that the outcome was such as it was;
let us praise God today for that peace He
has bestowed"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wharton's high
ly appreciated address contributions were
Invited for the fund with which a memorial
Will be erected to the martyred sailors of
the Maine and the soldiers and sailors who
died in the war which their martyrdom
FASTENED to bring about. A very substan-
tial sum realized. During the coilec-
ton the Marine Band played popular airs
and Capt. Charles SOONER was presented
as the representative of the LIST District
Regiment and cordially greeted.
Patriotism Above All Else.
Ex-senator Patrick Walsh closed the ad-
dresses with a few remarks. The principle
for which the war with Spain was fought
and won, he said, has become living prin-
ciple for the people of Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, who are to enjoy the
same rights as the people of the United
States enjoy. In conclusion he spoke as
follows:
Il rejoice today that the patriotism of
our people is above sectionalism and party
politics. 1 have said it in the west and
have said it in the south, and will say it
here, and 1 believe the sentiment will be
seconded everywhere that l thank the SUBJ
lime example of Lincoln and of Davis of
Grant and of Lee. of Sherman and of
Stonewall jackson, because these men
fought for principles. In this war the south
has stood as ready to shed her blood as
the north. l thank God that the great
saying of the immortal Lincoln at Get
tysburg will live with US till time shall
be no more: With charity for all and mall
ice toward none, the great work of our re-
public has been and is being accomplish
ed
