ADDRESS OF CHAs. w. sCRUTCHIN.
Mr.. Chairman, members OF the @. A
r., ladies and gentlemen: t. 5#

For the first time in my life, 1 fail
to find words within the range of my
mothers tongue sufficiently strong to
convey to you the deep sense of graf
itude I feel by being called upon as
your humble speaker on this occasion;
and at the threshold of my
address permit me to say that the
members Of the Grand Army Repub-
lie needs no apology for it's existence.
Many persons who are either vicious
or uninformed in the matter, have at
tributed selfish and political reasons
as the foundation for your order, and
while you may have decided political
views, allow me to ask what other
class of people has prior right to
yours, to potent voice in the manage.
ment of government that owes its
life to the men who had the courage
to defend it when it needed defenders?
The old soldiers are not of the kind
who 60 to the polls that thrift may
follow fawning," but to exercise a
right they earned TO uphold their
friends who seek political preferment.
And so I say you old soldiers need
offer no excuse for binding together
that you may foster the memories of
the great rebellion and to grasp hands
and call each other comrades. What
blessed memories cluster around that
word comrade! It is title that mon
ey cannot buy, and which pot house
politicians cannot assume nor success
juily deride.
Y, hen the armed hosts of the South
inspired by the hatred they bore to
free institutions, made the arrogant
demand that they be left alone with
their peculiar nstitutions-human
slavery-and resolved to destroy this
Union, the young men of the North
left their schools, offices, workshops
and farms singing the battle cry, ''We
are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more" 1t was no
hireling hand, but the best blood and
brain of the nation. The flush of youth
was on their cheek and high and holy
purpose in their hearts. In this audi
ence before me to-day are survivors
of that gallant army who bore Old
Glory Ger manya a bloody battlefield,
On weary marches and up mountain
heights; through summers seorching
rays and winters chilling blasts, in
the gray dawn, at midday and be-
meath the silent stars. Our dear dead

upon whom wounds and exposure
have left their dread effects, and soon
that host, thus swelling as the years
go by, will far outnumber those who

If they had lived and died in an

glowing words had drawn aside the

bold Kearney searching out the foe;
the veteran Mansfield faithful to the
last; the peerless Reynolds, with Get
tysburg's immortal wreath on his
brow; the dashing Dahlgren counting
death beyond the picket line; the pa
triotic w Wadsworth changing his silver
for the golden crown; heroic Sedg-
wick stubborn in siege and resistless
in assault; MCPHERSON, noble of heart
and devoid of fear, all these who
mounted glory's height and saw the
land of promise from afar-there too,
later receiving into their shining ranks
the brave, unyielding Thomas, here OF
the West and the rock Of Chicka-
mauga; the splendid Hancock, superb
in war and beloved in peace; brave
Custer, with his flowing locks, booted
and spurred, charging along the phan-
ton line; there gallant Sheridan on
his foam-hecked charger, turning the
tide of battle; Logan, with lions
courage but with woman's heart; Usher
man who never was defeated with pen
or sword; Butler, the great soldier
lawer, and at their head the silent
chieftain, hero of the deathless name,
who met his first and only conquorer
on McGregor's heights, and from the
pinnacle of fame entered the waiting
skies. And there still radiant through
the vista of gathering years, Abra-
ham Lincoln, the liberator, whom the
colored people called Father" the
greatest Of the martyr throng whose
memory is as gentle as the summer
breeze that ages will revere and with
them all the rank and file who nobly
fought and fell.
| But you members of the Grand
Army Post, duty still rests upon
you. Peace has her victories no less
renowned than war, wherever honest
want sits pallid at the door of pam
pered luxury; wherever Mammon
crouches behind the throne of power;
wherever corruption stalks unrebuked
and fraud and violence usurp the
place of right; wherever prejudice or
conspiracy deny to any man or set of
men the just and equal protection of
the law on account of race, color or
| previous conditions, the men who
saved the country in its hour Of need
and all who hold it dear have victor.

Give Them the Cut-OH.

Battle Lake would like a shorter
route to Saratoga, and these in a
position to know assert that sew
eral miles could he saved by cut
ting across the country after leav-
ing the Transfer. 1t is claimed
that such a road be constructed at
a comparatively trifing expense,
the money for which could easily
be raised among Battle Lakes en-
terprising business men. Why
not have a preliminary survey and
estimate of the route made at once?
A cutoff of this character would
mean that the traveller from Battle
Lake would reach Saratoga the
same day and vice versa. The
Miner wants to see the work taken
up in a practical manner, and will
start a list to that end with several
big round plunks-say 5 or 10
times. Wake up neighbors and
give us your counsel and assistance
in the enterprise.-Battle Lake
