HEROES ARE REMEMBERED
Decoration Day Appropriately Oh.
served in New Ulm.
Ceremony Includes Parade and
Addresses at the Cemetery.
Father Scholzen and Prof. Meyer
are the Speakers.

Jim this year, as 1t should be every
where, with quiet and impressive
ceremony. The parade was of the
usual character, participated in by all
the military organizations of the city,
and marked too by the expected
dwindling in the ranks of the veterans.
Of the latter only forty were in line.
At the cemetery interesting ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. Antho-
ny Scholzen and Prof. Meyer, the
latter's talk being in German. Bev.
Scholzen's address was patriotic
throughout and was well received.
After briefly reviewing the causes
that led up to the war he said:
History tells us that, after the sur
render of Gen. Lee, the two armies
which so fercely opposed each other
for four years, parted with no words
but those of sympathy and respect
assured presage of a day when all the
wounds of the cruel war should be
fully healed. The enmity, which had
so long existed, was now changed into
friendship and brothsrly love. Sla-
very, the dark stain upon our country
and the real cause of the war, wasShap-
pity abolished. The soil, which had
been saturated with the blood of the
brave, again yielded an abundant har-
vest. Prosperity, peace and happi-
ness soon reigned supreme throughout
the land. Nowhere, in all the wide
world, is there happier and more
prosperous people to be found than
that united under the stars and stripes,
the emblem of liberty, the flag of the
free. Nowhere has there been more
marvellous development in the mechan-
ic arts and manufactures than here.
The arts and sciences, commerce,
agriculture, industries Of all de-
scriptions are in most t1ourishlng
condition. Education and religion
are exercising most benign influence
over the minds and hearts of the peo-
pie, teaching and encouraging men to
be loyal to their God and to their
country.
The people of the United States
have, in very truth, become mighty
nation, whose influence is felt through
out the entire world; a nation, which,
during the past decade, has won the
respect and admiration of every
people, whose friendship is eager
ly sought after by all other countries.
The form of government of this coun-
try is second to none-a model we'll
worthy of imitation, for it is, in the
true sense of the word, a government
'Eof the people, by the people, and for
the people, It is d government,
which establishes justice, insures do
nestle tranquility, provides for the
common defense, promotes the general
welfare, and secures the blessings OF
liberty to all it's subjects. To secure
such a government was the object
which the trainers of the constitution
of the United States had in view; te
maintain and perpetuate that govern
ment these heroic men, whose memory
we came here to celebrate to-day, laic
down their lives. Bravely they Tough
and struggled, sacrificing themselves
to secure for US the blessings Of liber
ty and to bring about the happiness
peace and prosperity which we nov
enjoy. All hail, then, to the brave
defenders of our country, who pro
cured for US such priceless boon
May we never forget to keep them il
grateful remembrance, and may God
the giver OF all good, reward theil
noble deeds.
But while we strive to prove tt
the world how much we appreciate
the heroism displayed by the sol
diers of the Republic and how CRATE
full we are for the immense sacri
fees which they made in behalf o
their fellow citizens, let us not forge
to learn from them true patriotism
and love of country. The best either
and true patriot is he who faithful.
