soldiers, over the veterans of the Brit

to America for the purpose of obtaining
samples of the guns that had wrought
such havoc among General Pakenham's
forces in that great battle, but when
his messenger returned, stating that
the weapon used was the ordinary flint

Portland. Ore. April IN Yer
shinin, former civil governor of Port
Arthur, who is en- route to Russia,
speaks in the highest terms Of the jan
anese 'nldiers. He does not, however,
attribute their indorlitable perseverance,
in battle so much to bravery as to lack
of feeling. He cites as an Illustration
that in one battle the Japanese repeat
eddy charged over thousands of bodies
Of their dead comrades and witnessed
the death Of relatives and friends with
out apparently losing their nerve in the
slightest degree. This, M. Vershinin
says, Is an impossibility for any Euro
pean race.
M. Vershinin recounted the expert
ences of the Russian garrison at Port
Arthur during the siege. where for four
months the unceasng bombardment of
both night and day caused those in Port
Arthur to become almost distracted. He
referred to the horrible precision of the
Japanese artillery, saying the besiegers
seemed failiar with every part of the
fortress and placed shells wherever
they seemed to desire with most terri
BILE effect.

WANTED-MEN OF CONVIC-
TIONS.

We want men of convictions, men witt
the courage of their convictions. Sucl
were in substance. the remarks, in part
of Father Bertels, when addressing Mon
day afternoon the friends of DENIM
Oats, whose body, in coffin, was in thu
church Of the Holy Trinity
Dennis Oats did not occupy higf
station in life, nor had he wealth. HI
was a poor man. but a man who hae
been true to himself, his country and his
God. In death he was honored by those
who had esteemed him in life for his
manly worth.
Addressing himself to the n1ourl1ers
Father Bertels said he was gratihed tc
note the presence of men who had en-
gagged in the historic struggle: men who
had the courage Of their convictions The
torn and tattered flag which lay on the
coffin of their comrade was en,blematic
of the men who had the courage Of their
convictions in maintaining what they be-
lievei was right. They had fought and
lost but there was iinperisllable honor
i'll their struggle in the great Cause they
believed was right. What is wanted to-
day are men with the courage of their
convictions Of what is right and good
against wrong. The remarks by Father
Bertels were impressive and fully appre-
ciated by the Veterans of Lee. of Stone
wall Jackson. of Johnston, and of other
commanders who had gathered to pay
their last tribute of love to one who had
the courage of his convictions. In gen.
eral sense there are few men today with
the courage of their convictions As a
rule there is too much conservatism, too
much compromising. In the nerve-rack-
ing rush of business, men of strong con-
vfctlons, with the courage essential to
their maintenance, seem to be out of
place. and i'll politics such men, arouse
as a rule, the enraity OF the class who, if
needs be, will sacrifice principle for pelf.
It was not always So There was a
time when men with the courage of their
convictions were in the lead because in
their loyalty; they never wavered, and
being men of strong convictions, were
assertive, forceful and powerful, but in
this age of hustle and hustle after bust
ness, the men of strong convictions are
distaneed in the reach of commercial
pursuits and in politics by men who are
willing and ready to set aside their
views and their opinions to secure some
advantage or gain. The men Of con-
serrativeness and compromises are to be
found n the field POLITICAL What Isl
wanted are men, honest nearless men,
who having the courage Of their convic-
tons, will stand for duty and principle

OF the Coniederacy no, been loyal; had
they been men without convictions: had
they rot strl,d shoulder to shoulder and
hand in hand when everything was
dreary. when there was little hope left:
mad they wavered then. their cause
would not have been lmnlOrtaliztd in

Lee was the embodiment OF (; man with

wavcred in his loyalty to his State; had
he not spurned the temptations which:
beset him when he resigned his commits
sion in the service OF the United States.
he would never have reached the zenith
81 his fame nor the. Qualification by his
people. He was convinced that his State
vas right. and with the courage of this
conviction he gave himself with enthusi-
asln and loveful devotion to his State.
Stonewall Jackson is another example
of man with the courage Of his conv;c
tons. In fact. as we have said. there was
