wrath of an .1r' constructed Confeder-
ate. But he repeated: Ne, sir; il has
not ended the Ill feeling, it has shown
that it was already ended" l bowed to

What Georgia Did.
Naturally you are proud of what Geor-
gia did. Her list of soldiers outnumbered
that furnished by any other state in pro-
portion 10 its population. And you gave
not only men for the rank and file but
leaders TO point the way 10 victo.y
Though he is a citizen of Alabama, YOU
claim Gen. Wheeler is a native Georgian
but no patriotic man Of the North will
surrender him to YOU. He is. as Judge
Speer said in his eloquent speech at the
Chicago Peace jubilee, "a little. old ex-
Confed' but we will not give him Up,
for he is The common property of US ell
When the summons comes that shall call
him from this life, he WI be, as he de-
serves 70 be, a retired brisadier general
in the regular army Of the United Sta es
Gentlemen, l know You join me in APP
probation of this high theme. 1t is my
most ardent wish that together We may
share in honors as we have in sacrifices.
We have had our sorrows. But we should
find consolation in the thought that hui
man interests are governed by law
which if we do not understand, we may

science, who have given their lives to the
study of nature, tell us that oil phenome-
ma will be ineligible when knowledge
gets its range and discovers the true re-
lation of things. 1t will someday come
to us that all our social and political re-
latons are governed by a law-tco wide
for our present comprehension, but none
the less wisely ordered for our permanent
well being

ident Mckinley was about TO ut er when
add essing the general assembly of Geor-
gia, he lifted the veil ard bade his coun-
trymen behold each other once more as
cnuntrymen indeed. Can you ever forget
that supreme moment. when he said:
The me has me- come in the evolution
of sent ment and feeling, in the providence
Of God, when in the pirlt of fraternity
we should share with you in the care Of
the graves of the Confed rate soldiers"
