A SPEECH THAT WAS NOT.


There was no speech from the writer at
flag raising recently, for reasons best
known to himself. He had volumes to
say, (such as it wasl but the occasion did
not agree With his feelings and he de-
cllned to speak. By urgent request, he
makes his speech now through the col
umns Of TIE AMERICAN.
FelloW Citizens: We have assem- bled
TO celebrate the raising of the national
dag which your generous contributions
have pure based. This occasion is an in
teresting one. As we look on this flag we
must be reminded of the sacrifices it has
cost the people OF this republic to main
tain it on land and sea through 122
changeful years. Through all these years
it has tioated the proud emblem of Amer
lean liberty. Beneath its folds the poor
est as we'll as the wisest and the best can
find protection.
I venture to say that the sight of this
glorious flag stirs the blood and quickens
the feelings of patriotism in every true
lover of American liberty. We must not
be unmindful that this national ensign
has cost us money, blood and treasure to
keep it above the dust and to give it a
place among the nations of the earth
Seven long years our forefathers fought
to sustain it, ana when peace was declared
IN 1888 we were left without credit,
finances or an organized government
Not until 17S9 was our government estab-
lished From that day until the present we
have exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions by our rapid growth in population,
wealth and resources and have surprised
the civilized world.
This flag has never been wanting to find
followers. We have seen in our short
lives sacrifices that touched the tenderest
feelings of the human heart, to protect
this flag. From Shiloh's plains to Caro-
lina's sandy shore, before Richmond, and
above the clouds of Lookout mountain,
the patriotic defenders of this flag sleep in

death struggled for the mastery. The dis
ease puzzled the skilled physicians but at
length it was pronounced Bright's dis
ease. In May the child rallied and the
physician decided she could be brought
home. But the improvement was not
permanent and she soon failed.
Patient in her sufferings, she yet hoped
for recovery with the strong buoysnt
hope of childhood. One night just before
her death her grandmother said: "Ber-
