MARYLAND MONUMENTS.
Erected on Antietam Battlefield to the
Memory of the Blue and the Gray
The Shaft Dedicated.

Hagerstown, Nd, May 31.-AnOther
link in the chain which binds to-
oether the once warning factions of
the north and south was forged We'd
nesday by the dedication of a mOnu-
ment erected TO the memory OF men
who wore the grey as well as those
who wore the blue, and who died in
mortal combat on the bloody field of
Antietam. The event, which is one
probably without a parallel in the
history of the world, was graced by
the presence of the president of the
United States, accompanied by many
members of his cabinet, a score or
more of United States senators, thrice
as many members of congress, the
governor of Maryland and prominent
men from all parts of the country.
There were also present hundreds of
veterans who fought for the lost
cause" aud thousands who fought for
the side that proved victorious.
Side by side, shoulder to shoulder,
they stood with uncovered heads
throughout the ceremony which
marked the conveyance of the mOnu-
ment from the state of Maryland 10
the national government. All ami
mosities forgotten, they listened to
the simple stories of those who told
of the heroism of the dead and of the
desperate struggles of those who sur
vived the battle and still live to tell
the many incidents of the day of car
mage and strife.
The monument is of granite and
bronze, octagon, % feet in diameter
at base and IS feet high to the top
of the statue. Upon the base rest
columns, representing eight Maryland
commands, who were present at the
battle, united in supporting the
Temple of Liberty" which is of
bronze and forms the canopy. The
whole is surmounted by a bronze
statue, representing "Peace," with
sword sheathed and pointed down
ward. The figure holds a laurel
wreath over the hilt of the sword.
On four of the faces of the monu-
mcnt are bronze has-reliefs, repre-
senting scenes in the battle. On the
interior faces of the butresses are
eight bronze tablets, bearing in
raised letters the name and record,
during the war, of the eight organi-
cations.

DR.. Stanton Colt, described as "an

on Sunday. His remarks have so agi-

right of free speech is vouchsafed every
man in this country and the utterance
Of Dr. Colt need not worry anybody. A
sample OF his wild remarks is found in
these words: "The American people
have been drugged by their vicious
leaders" This has the real Bryanesque
ring. Perhaps DR.. Colt has returned
home in order to prepare himself as
candidate for the presidency on the
Democratic ticket in 1904-Morning

We think this comes with poor grace
from the Morning News, which has its
own doctor from abroad, who is prsc-

for something, but, perhaps. not the
