The speaker said:
Buckley Post, G.. A. R.. and Citizens:
Nationally VIC have but two great
commemorative days, the first of
which, the Fourth Of July, is the day
upor which the patriots of the Revolu-
ton flung to the breezes the proud En-
sign OF Liberty and Equality, and pro-
claimed 10 the world that the American
Colonies were a United Nation, free
and .udep lndent of every foreign prince,
potentate, or power, and SO believing
they were ready to defend their flag.
While we all love and honor that
great day, and while our hearts swell
with emotion when we think of the
deeds of noble, daring and patriotic
devotion endured for us by those noble
Revolutionary Fathers, still 1t Is true
that no higher debt of gratitude is
due to those old patriots, who thus
secured liberties, than to those, who,
from 1861 to 1865, periled their all to
save these liberties from gigantic re-
bellion. 10 my mind, the honor and.
thanks of free and united people, due
to each, are alike and equal. Thus
believeying, we meet annually on the
3Oth day of May to commemorate the
valor and virtues of those heroes who

the gentleman alluded to swears
that he "did not at that time use

The first 10 months of the Boer
war resulted in 8487 deaths of Brit
ish soldiers, of whom 2731 were
killed in action, and 4867 died of
disease, the rest dying of wounds,
accidents, or captivity. Of the
dead, 47o were officers. To the to-
tai of deaths must be added 7zI8
missing and prisoners. No less
than 23,665 men have been sent
home as invalids, making the drain
upon the British army through these
various losses $4,000. Then add
