that Whitelaw Reid. in the way Of hous-
ing at least. has amply supported the
dignity Of America al the Court of St.

help
II is thought here that the cost Of
some Of the homes might prove a most
excellent investment, as it would enable
men Of such Intellectual ability as Dr.

cial ruin, and the country would be the
richer many times over for having such

VIGOROUS PROTEST.
Grand Army Posts of Nebraska Object
TO an Obviously Confederate Statue
in the National Capitol.


The following resolutions with thu
bark on were forwarded The Nationa
Tribune with a request that they bt
published:
| Whereas it has come to the knowl
edge of the members of Farragut Post
25, G. A. r., Department of Nebraska
| that a statue of r. E. Lee, a Confeder'
ate General, is to be placed in the Ma
| tionai Capitol at Washington, side by
side with those of the Union army some
of whom sacrificed their lives that the
Union might live, and were shot dowr
| in battle by men commanded by this
same Confederate officer, and who
gained renown by blotting out the lives
of these. our comrades, while they were
in line of duty defending the Flag OF
our country; and
Whereas this Nation must depend or
the loyalty and patriotism of its citi-
zens for its future prosperity and ex.
| istence, and this loyalty can only be
maintained by teaching our children
| that loyalty to country is an imperial
virtue, and treason a heinous crime;
| therefore, be it
| Resolved, That, while we are willing
| to forgive, we would not exalt as ex-
amp1es for future generations to emu
late the arch enemies of all we hold
dear as citizens of this great Republic;
and further, be it
Resolved, That, while we can forgive
our enemies, we cannot forget that love
of country is a blessed heritage, perpet-
uated only by lofty examples of patriot
ism, as exhibited by Lincoln, Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Howard and host
of others. who, in line with these, fell
at the front.
Resolved, That respect and devotion
to the Flag and our beloved country
can never be promoted in the minds
and hearts of the people by making
conspicuous heroes of those whose only
claim to notoriety was their inglorious
failure to destroy the best Government
ever instituted among men; and be it
further
Resolved, That we call upon the COM
rades of our Order, the Grand Army
of the Republic, soldiers of the civil
and Spanish-American wars, as well as
all loyal citizens everywhere to pro-
test against this mockery of devotion
to our beloved land; and be it further
Resolved, That in the erection of a
monument at Andersonville, Ga, to the
foreign butcher and assassin, Henry
WirZ, the brave men who, thru mis-
taken ideas, fought so CALAMITY in the
Confederate army are thereby dis
graced.
And further, that the hundreds of
thousands of patriots of the Union
army who barred their breasts and sac
tHlSeu tHelr lives TOT the Union are
being insuited by the placing of the
Lee statue in the Hall of Fame at
Washington.
The bronze statue of Robt E. Lee is
now standing in the Hall of Horrors in
the Capitol and arrangements are being
completed to make its unvailing one
of the greatest events of the kind that
has ever happened in the Capitol. If
Congress should vote not to accept the
statue, it would have to be removed
but protests are coming too late. Con-

At the banquet Campfire the boys,

of the w. r. C. and Ladies of the G.

gowns, and for weeks thereafter gossip
about them. The Campfire banGuets
of Ransom have always been the Sc
