his lines, when they were charging
the works in front, and as the rebel

ana building of the nations destiny.
AN examination of the characteris-
ties of the American people reveals the
fact that they have ever been lovers
of peace, promoters of the arts OF
peace slow to anger. yet jealous or
their rights and ready to defend them
to the bitter end.
That great contest in which you
veterans were participants, justly
termed a civil conflict. not alone be-
cause it was between two sections of
what had been and what is now a COM
mon country, but because it was car
ried on by men taken from the civil
walks of life, that great contest is the
best Illustration that we possess of the
readiness with which our people are
ready to undergo every sacrifice for
the sake of principle, and the eager
ness when war is ended to obliterate
the marks of bloodshed and promote
the arts of peace. This interest in the
welfare of our government is heritage
that has been handed down from gen
Grafton to generation since the birth
of the American coiories, and on this
day when Nature causes the earth to
bloom with fresh life and beauty it is
we'll for us as we dedicate these mon
uments to drink in fresh inspiration liz
our devotion TO what concerns the pub
lie interest by a review of the develop
mcnt of our history and of the events
which in times past have caused our
citizens to leave home and the civil
walks of life and battle for what they
| believed TO be true, honorable and just.
| Those who first settled on the shores
! of Massachusetts bay came with the
dove of peace. in marked contrast to
the adventures who sailed from the
ports Of Southern Europe unmindful
of everything but their thirst for gold.
The Pilgrims brought with them their
wives and their families. They came
to establish a home and upon their
vessel they drew up frame of gov
eminent. The ship that brought them
was an altar consecrated to the wor-
shin of the living God, and in the pray
ers they daily offered to the Almighty
above they besought the Divine favor
that they might find an abiding place
where il would be possible for them
20 enioy civil and religious liberty.
with such a loftiness of purpose
amongst the early colonists, the seeds
Of this nation were planted and the
history of our people commenced. No
sordid love of commercial gain marked
their entrance upon these shores. With
patience and fidelity they overcame the
obstacles Of the Wilderness: they
wrested a living from an unwilling soil;
homes and churches were established

One of The Associated Press Rus
sian correspondents has just returned
from Port Arthur. He had been over
and is thoroughly familiar with the
forts and defences there. His opinion
is that the fortress cannot be taken
except by systematic siege operations
that will require many months.
UNLESS the japanese shall be able
to carry it in less than three months"
the correspondent says, they will be
too late, as Gen. Kuropatkin will then
have enough men to send an army to
relieve the garrison. Fock is a great
fighter. StOessel has 10000 men, ipclud-
ing the sailors on the warships. The
garrison is provisional for a year"
