a pathetic hope"
Drenry Days of 1864.
Let us go back TO the dark days of 1864,
Some OF us were in, as we thought, God
forsaken, hell-bedeviled prison cells; others
in the trenches. in the battle front, others
In hospitals, or on the dreary march. They
were long, dark, dreary days that drove
many comrades mad, to hopeless insanity
with hunger and thirst, that gashed our
bodies with ugly wounds, that bathed us
with blood of the dead and dying, that
froze the fountains of love and hope; days
when wives and children chung to fond
fathers and bid them goodbye forever;
when mothers kissed their noble sons and
led them to the sacrifice; days when every
household was a mausoleum Of woe and
dread, when the sound of the church bell
was scarcely heard except in requiem tolls.
Suppose in those dark days disloyalty had
triumphed over loyalty and this had be-
come a divided nation-slavery on one side,
freedom on the other-when would the war
have ended7 Slavery and freedom, an ire
pressible conflict! God on one side, Satan
on the other. Where would we have landed? ?
April r. 1861, when the first rebel shot
was fred against Fort sumpter-fred at
our flag for the destruction of this nation
the union of states established by our FORE
fathers, to build slaveocracy In the south;
our southland-we were then nation OF
thirty-ive million souls. Today nearly
ninety million. In 1861 our state, Nebraska,
then a territory, had total population OF
less than thirty thousand whites, yet within
ninety days we sent a thousand stalwart
soldiers to the front to help defend the
union, and during the struggle, out of our
meager population, we sent in all 1907 men
and officers to the front in defense of our
country, one out Of ten for all our citizens,
male and female. children and grown peo-
pie, a proud record for loyal Nebraska.
Change Taat Has Been Wrought.
Not forgetful OF the dead past, but just
one moment for the living present, let US
note the wonderful changes from the dark
days of 81 to IS as a reminder of the re-
suits or rewards for the great struggle of
the boys in blue. In 1856. fifty years ago,
Douglas county, this state, had a popula-
ton OF 1.O3s souls. Today fully 10000 peo-
pie reside I'm that county. Less than forty
years ago Lincoln, our beautiful capital
was not on the map. Now $1,000 happy,
prosperous people reside with its limits. In
1861 the value OF all property, real and per-
sonal in Nebraska was less than four mil
lion dollars. Against this item stands the
total valuation of property OF all kinds In
this state, exclusive OF railway property
which is shown by the grand assessment
