the civil war, Us they trudged past

Governors Atkinson's Address.
Judge Hagnns concluded his address
amid great applause. and Governor
George w. Atkinson was introduced to
present the sword to Captain Chadwick.
Governor Atkinson said:
';captain Chadwick and Fellow citl-
zcns.-AIl along the centuries the
sword has been regarded as nm emblem
Of authority and symbol Of power. In
the sacred Scripture we read OF "the
sword Of the Lord and OF Gideon" and
how with It that great chIeftain and
defender Of the faith used 1t with.
mighty effect upon the enemies OF the
living God. Shakespeare. in immortal
verse. describes "the sword OF DamO-
cles" suspended forever above the
heads OF those that persist In way
wardness and wrong-dolng. Tue
ERyptInns, the Persians, the Babylon
inns. the Greeks. and the Romans ~
the centuries Ggonc. placed the sword
IN the hands OF their chieftnins, ana
with It was conveyed the authority TO
command, pursue and conquer ana rule.
The mighty sword of England flashes In
the sunlight all around the world 10
day. Our own American Damascus
blade" unsheathed in the cause OF
truth, liberty and higher civilization, 10
lifting Cuba and Puerto Rico to more
exalted conceptions OF life and duty;
and before the nineteenth century
passes into history, It will, II mistake
not. bring to the inhabitants Of the
Philippine Islands better government,
broader ideas Of civilization, greater
liberty. and eternal gratitude to the
American sailor and soldier.
We have assembled here to-day IN
