Let those who think 1t too much of
an effort and hardship to walk an hour
in the procession to-day. and do not
care to summon courage to move under
the heat of the sun for short time in
honor of the day of days, reflect that
thousands Of our fellow citizens are
fighting our battles to-day under a
tropic sun with a thermometer at
1l5, and all the terrors of the heat aug
mented by most violent exertion, the
burden of heavy arms, the sulphurous
smoke of battle and the moisture of the
atmosphere, while all around them echo
the dying groans of their stricken COM
rades, and the shrieks of the mangled
wounded. Hot? Why, compared with
what our poor men in Cuba are endur-
ing to-day, the heat of summer with
us, is as arctic gales to the hot breath
Of hades.

They would not have US make this
day of mourning. The poorest tribute
TO their heroism indeed 'twould be to
make this a day of sadness. Our men
in arms, could they be heard, would
exclaim to US across the seas: Shout
and be joyful for US. With song and
story, with trumpet and drum, with
festivity and rejoicing, with sport and
merry making, celebrate for us, who
are so far away battling for the cause
of liberty and a common humanity"
We are not, therefore, to let sadness
mar our joys on this occasion. Bearing
in pitiful memory the fact Of the abb
sent ones and praying God to have
them in His keeping. we are, for their
sake and our own and that of our chill
dren, to make this a redIletter day in
American history, for the manner in
which it is observed, the unity of the
people who keep it, the love for the
Union of States to which it Is witness,
the loyalty, devotion and self-sacrifice
of the people OF the Nation, the cause
OF which it so eloquently breaches.
