I.INC0Ls's sPEEcR AT GETTYSBURG
1853.

Four-s score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
o new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to tho proposition that all
men are equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any other nation SO conceived and SO
dedicated, can long endure We are
met on great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate that field
as final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that tho nation
might live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should dc this.
But in large sense we cannot dedi-
cate-we cannot coDsecrate-we cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world
will little note, nor long remember,
what We say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for
us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they
VINO fought here have thus far SO nohly
advanced 1t is rather for us here to
be dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us, that from these honored
dead We take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the last
full measure Of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation,
under God, shall have new birth OF
freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from this earth.

In this comparatively youthful coun-
try of ours--youthful by comparison
with the countries of the Old World
the celebration of bi.centennial ami
versary is an event of unusual import
ance. 1t is but little more than four
hundred years since Columbus first set
foot upon the Western Hemisphere.
and thereby opened the way for progress
and civilization beyond the Atlantic.
Thus, bi-centennial celebration in
America means the commemoration of
an existence that extends over nearly
half the period since the discovery of
the country.
1t was fitting, therefore, in the
matter of time alone, that the BIZ
centennial of the conservation of Old
Swedes Church, ono of the historic
landmarks Of Wilmington, should have
been celebrated Sunday in the most
impressive and appropriate manner. 1t
is venerable editice, as years go in this
country, aud it is the sole remaining
link between the modern, active, pro-
gressiye Wilmington of today, and the
modest little hamlet which the sturdy
Swedes established ON the banks Of the
Christina, more than two centuries
ago.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
full report of these interesting and
significant ceremonies, which we doubt
not will be read with pleasure by all
who have concern in the city Of Will
mington, as we'll as by those who are
Immediately or remotely connected with
tho old church. For while not the
Oldest church edifice in the country, Old
Swedes is the oldest now in use for the
holding of religious services regularly.
This is distinction over which our
city and our people may we'll feel proud.
Time was when the interest Of the
people in this venerable church Ian.
| guished TO an extent that was really
disgraceful, and for more than half
score of years it was left to neglect and
decay. But the reaction came, and
then the ministrations of friends served
| " heep tne ancleut structure IN gooc
condition, and later to add improve
nents that have made the church
property valuable materially as well al
rich in historic associations. This Is
the Old Swedes whose bi-centennia
was celebrated Sunday, with all it,
old features restored, so that it standl
today as complete and striking monu
ment of the energy and public spirit o
its founders, as the day it left thei
hands and wos consecrated to the wor
ship Of the Almighty.
May the venerable and revered churcl
continue to be a landmark and prizet
possession of the people OF Wilmington
for centuries to come.

Here is very pertinent inquiry re Z.
specting the course of our government
towards the people of the Philippine
Islands, propounded by the Troy, N.
Y, Press:
Why should we adopt more rigorous
policy in the Philippines than in Cuba ?
Why should we with such monumental
inconsistency interfere to promise in
dependence TO one weak people strug-
Cling for emancipation from Spanish
tyranny, and then interfere to despoti
cally demand soverignety over another
weak people also struggling for emanci-
patton from Spanish despotism?
And here is a plain statement of the
unenviable position this government,
has assumed, made by the Chattanooga,
Tenn, Times:
Let US have an end of this twaddle
about benevolent assimilation and all
the rest of it. 1t deceives nobody. We
are simply conquering 5000, 900, more
or less, OF nightly mixed Orientals
for what We think can be made off oil
them and their country. We may, afte
we get done killing, looting, burning
and laying waste in general, try tC
bring the Tagals and the others up il
the way they ought to go, hut that viii
be done to crafty our own pride ant
in the hope that it will help toward
lining our own pockets.
To the query Of the Troy Press Their
is but one answer: There is no reasol
in the world why we should not deal a
honestly and fairly by the Filipinos a
by the Cubans, instead of assuming tina
we have bought them, body and soul
with all their earthly possessions, b
the payment of 500, 600, 600 to Spain.
Our national position is outlined b
the Chattanooga Times with forcefr
truth that cannot be called into ques
ton. But is it not discreditable att
, tude for country that has for year
been styled 1.-THE land of the free an
, the home of the brave" and 18Th
asylum for the oppressed Of a
r natiors?1

The city election takes place next
Saturday, when mayor, city treasurer,
city solicitor and complete new City
Council, oil to serve for two years from
the first Of July next, will be chosen.
There are five tickets in the field
Democratic, Regular Republican, Union
Republican, Single Tax and Prohibit
tion. All are complete, with the ex-
ception of a few names. The most
notable exception is with respect to
city solicitor, for which Office Henry
G, Conrad, Union Republican, has been
nominated by the Regular Republicans
and is supported by the Single Takers.
The Prohibition ticket is open with
respect to this office.
1t is hard to predict the outcome oil
the election, on account OF the indif-
erence of the people and the apparent
lack of public interest. Unless there
comes a change, or unless the people
are thinking deeply and carefully over
the matter, the vote polled next Satur
day will be a small one.
Surface indications favor the election
of the Democratic city ticket, by reason
of the fact that the Republicans have
two complete tickets, with the excep-
ton of city solicitor, in tine field. And
even with this exception the chances
favor the Democrats, as many Regular
Republicans object to voting for Mr..
Conrad for city solicitor because he is
in such high favor with the Addick.
Republicans and the Single Takers.
But, the Regular Republicans ART
making an earnest canvass for theil
ticket, and it is within the bounds o.
easy possibility that it may be elected
or at least the candidate for mayor
George W. Bush. As to City Council
the Democrats are almost sure to retail
control Of that body, as the division o
the Republicans will result in giving
them one or more wards in addition Il
the wards surely Democratic.
However, next Saturday will sooi
roll around, and then the result of tn,
election will be known to certainty
OF course, Every Evening will collec
and bulletin the returns next Saturda,
night.

A rrsyail,nr Error oorreotsn.

The reprint of Gray's "Elegy Written
in q Country Church Yard" - pro-
nounced tho finest poem in the English
language-in connection with the report
Of the Old Swedes bi-centennial exer-
cises printed elsewhere in this issue,
recalls popular error which crept into
the modern reprints of this great poem.
1t appears in the stanza:
The boast of heraldry, the pomp Of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er
gave,
Awaits alike the inevitable hour;
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
This is the form in which the verse
was originally written and in
yariably printed during the life
time of the author, Thomas Gray, but
after his death self -assumed critics
made change. They claimed that the
author was off in his grammar, and
that the word awaits in the third
line, should be await, - and SO it was
printed for many years.
Investigation and analysis, however,
| showed that the poet was right anc
knew what he was writing about. II
is not 1.-THE boast Of heraldry," &C.,
that await the inevitable hour" Il
is the inevitable hour" that await.
them. Thus, paraphrased, the lines
would run in this way: 1.-THE inevitabl,
hour awaits alike the boast of heraldry,
the pomp of power" &c.
AS rule, the writer of great poem
knows what he means and what h,
wants to say, much better than thu
critics who come after him.

A Credisabis Parade Witnessed by Thou-
santis OF People -Incidnnts of the Day.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ranks of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public are being depleted year by year,
the veterans Of Wilmington gave q
creditable parade Tuesday afternoon
which was witnessed by thousands OF
people. They had the corporation OF
public officials and other citizens, and
their efforts were thoroughly appre-
ciated.
The Boys Brigade and Sons OF
Veterans, which were important features
of the parade, made a fine appearance.
Their uniforms were neat and they
marched we'll. All of the members OF
each body had n military bearing, which
added to the dignity Of the parade.
Some Of tho posts which visited ceme-
teries during the day and decorated
the graves hpd experiences which will
long be remembered. The members OF
du Pont Post were particularly we'll
pleased with tho reception they received
while visiting the cemeteries In tho
vicinity of the Highlands and Henry
Clay.
The ceremonies at Admiral S. F..
du Points grave, at du Points. were
according to the usual custom followed
at the spot which is cherished SO much
by the post Several pretty floral do.
signs were deposited on the grave, one
bearing the inscription admiral, "
At St Joseph's cemetery. the Rev.
W. j. Birmingham, pastor OF the
church, made an interesting address,
in which he commended the veterans
for their patriotism and gave them
much encouragement In their noble
work. At Green Hill cemetery the
Rev. L. W. Long, pastor Of tho church,
made similar address from tho steps
Of the church, and at Mt. Salem
Church the veterans were also well
coined.
The Grand Army men were particu
larry impressed with an incident which
occurred while visiting Green Hill
cemetery, On the road leading to the
cemetery, just opposite tho church, a
miniature fort, tent and flag staff and
flag were noticed. Everything was
true to camp life. From the fort two
small guns were pointing and two
young sons Of Pastor Long stood guard,
One was on each side of the fortifica-
ton, and as the veterans passed each
stood with drawn sword at a salute.
After the party had passed the boys
returned their swords to the soabbards
and followed the visitors to the GENE.
terry, where they were interested specta.
tors. As the party passed out the boys
again gave the salute at the fort.

Proposals of mediation and aribtra.
ton as means of preventing war have
been submitted by Russia's representa-
tives to the Peace Conference at The
Hague. With this principle adopted
by the five powerful nations represented
at this conference. and upheld faith
fully by them for all time to come, the
other nations of the world would have
to settle down to peace basis, whether
they wished to or not.
