law is no doubt one of the best passed

which this enormous monopoly has

they do business only by sufferance.

nifty, and we have again assembled
to do honor to our Nations braves
who slumber beneath the sod. The
flowers We strew on their graves
today are emblematfcal of the beau
ty of self-sacriflce, for they die that
the ripened fruit may bless mankind.
The same may be said of your COM
rades, who laid down their lives, so
that the fruit of law and of liber-
ty might prove a blessing to man
kind.
1t is my duty today to present
to you a comrade who fought i'm the
ranks bravely from 1862 to 1865.
He enlisted in the 9Th Minnesota Vol
unteer Infantry fighting the Indians
in the Sioux massacre and took ac-
tive part in rescuing the captive wo-
men and children, at Fort Release.
He then went South with his regi-
ment and was always at the front
defending the old flag until the
end of the war.
Comrades and fellow Citizens, it
gives me great pleasure to introduce
to you your worthy Department Com
mander, Levi Longfellow.
Commander Longfellow spoke sut-
stantially as follows:
Comrades and Friends:
In accordance with custom which
it would be sacrilege to discontinue
now, and which I believe will be
continued for centuries to come, we
are assembled to decorate with ev-
ergreen and flowers the graves of
our comrades who fell in the war of
the rebellion.
And throughout our own state
do not believe a single grave will
this day be neglected or forgotten.
To my mind it is very fitting that
from the hands of their comrades
who marched and fought and suf-
fered with them in that awful strug-
BILE, this tribute should come, for we
know HOW they died, and for
WHAT they died. " II
We can never forget them, for we
were eyewitnesses of their sufferings
and self denial and valor.
And I think it is very fitting that
the children should come with us
today with their songs and wreaths
