.. . Illi ——■ «**■ """' *** * '*»■—— W’j GOVERNOR RALSTON’S SPEECH. 1 (CONTINUED FROM FACE TWO) tioh had to bo overthrown ‘it'd human slavery abolished. What th.-y did in that great work is more enduring than the monument wo here d-'dinto. Till.-, government, my friends, has cost 100 much not now to be preserved at any sacrifice. When hr was sorely distressed, not knowing which way lo turn to save the nation, the. great war president. Abraham Lincoln. in his first inaugural atldresy, re minded those threatening in assault upon the government, that they had no oath registered in heaven to destroy tho government, tfhile he would have ‘'the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend I 1 ." 1 want to drop the thought here,: that h<' who is worthy or citizenshinunder our flag, whether lie i- in of j fiee or pursuing some humbler walk I of life, should also have an oath registered in heaven to do h!« part in preserving this republic. Anything sheet of tills is lacking in patriotism and is a source of wcakm *-• tn American institutions. We boast, that we are pro-i niinent-’ iy a peaceful people and this is true.. We laud our devotion to education : and Christian ideals, and this is proper. We talk and yyrite abcr’ our in ventivc grins and eommert lai tact. I and most people conclude all is well I with this republic. But the truth is. my friends, we encounter danger from i peace as from war, and the firmer is frequently more serious than the lat-, ter. In time of war the n-offle are on their guard, but in time of frace the I people are off their guard. The dan-1 ger from war is usually open and no . torious, but the danger f"on' peace is insidious and deceptive r.nd the. people do not always know how lo in j tercept it. Those insidious and de : ceptive influences often wor.i their. I solves about the body polit.c until | they hold their victim powerless in j their coils. General Jackson whipped the Brit i ish at New Orleans in a few hours. [ but it took him years to win his vic-1 tory in his national bank fight. And | so it is today. A president of this j republic lias something more than a ; mere skirmish on his hands tc win a i single victory over entrenched priv I liege. If yonr victory, my soldie” friends, meant anything beyond the immediate triumph at arms, it signified obedi ene to duly co: siitii|jd authority and respect for law. To make your victory pregnant with this meaning we are in need of a quickening of the national consciencoand ar aroused sentiment for law enforcement, not merely against miserable creatures, too feeble to do very much wrong, but against giants in high places. In paying tribute to those to whom honor is due for the part they had in the final triumph of the Union forces, I am glad Adams county did not forget tiie women. The monument we this day dedicate to the so’.'iera of Adams county, living and dead, is | faultless in design and in the langunge of the »< ulptor speaks eloquently of a generous people’s appreciation j of the sacrifices made by women in the awful conflict. Womer’. part in that heroic struggle was ns hard to 1 Ix ar as was that of the husband and brother and sweetheart on the tented field. The heroism of endurance of waiting of Mueponse and sacrifice is not that equal in the eyes of God and man to the heroism of active rnrv-' fees on the march, in the c; rap and even in the charge of battle. Soldiers of Adams county: in speaking this word to’you 1 am not forgetful your steps are crowing shorter. 1 um no’ unmlndf'i* you are no longer fitted for the long march I understand, too, the clouds arc lowering about you, but 1 went you to believe mn when I assure you that both on this side and ’.K-’ond the clouds hope and love relvn for you. May nil your remaining days be days of peace and plenty, and as you move In and out among ynur fellow citizens, may you not fall tn see that the smiles of grateful people rre upon you. In conclusion ! know you will Join me in forclalmlng all tionor to the unselfish nnd patriotic tnxpojers of Adams county tiw erecting this monument in the name of love., Justice and peace as a memorial to the soldiers, this county sent forth to estnb lish the lazal equity of nil men and ttlve a w'd-r meaning the world around to the flag of thia republic.

r- ~ ""j What Christmas Day Brought the Convict IT was late in the afternoon of (he day before Christmas. To the woman who waited for news and . yet dreaded its coming it was the ' closing of the longest, wratchedest. | dreariest day that she had ever known ' She had been advised not to hope, yet. she clung to hope, feeling that if She gave up entirely she must die. If lhe worst eatne she must live for the sake of the children, who were too young to know of the shadow that clouded their lives. Often nnd often the woman went to the window and looked out at the dreary street Once when a boy came down the walk with the blue uniform i of a telegraph messenger she clutched ' 1 at her throat and uttered a little moan . of despair. ‘Who's matter, mamma?’’ asked the' little girl that clung to her skirts. The woman could not reply until after the messenger had passed her gate. Then ' she caught the child In her arms and ; covered its face with kisses. Hope ! owe more revived In her heart. \\ hen she went to the window again i the woman looked out nnd saw her husband coming. In the wave of joy : that surged over her she did not no- ' tieo that he looked old nnd hopeless ' and broken and bent and that there HE TOI.B OPEN TIIE TELEGRAM. was no elasticity in his step She threw open the door and ran down the graveled walk to the gate "Johu. oh. John.” she cried, flinging her arms alMiut his neck, “you art free! Heaven lie praised for bls mer ties You are free.” The man pressed her to his heart, tin able to speak. “I knew that' they would not find you guilty—they could not," she .Tied “My i>oor Grace.” he murmured stroking her hair, “you must lie brave 1 have been found guilty. Five years in the penitentiary.” • Thou bow is it that you are here?” "Tiie judge who sentenced me lias given me a reprieve on my own recog nixance so that I cau spend Christina: with you and the babies. lam in hon , »r bound to surrender myself to the sheriff on the first of the year. It was a technical violation of the law only They know I am honest, but the scutl ment of the public is set so strongly against linkers that 1 could not get justice. Even my political friends dart , not support me. It is an unexpected filter ihnt I ain allowed to be with you \ for u few days.” John Anatnither spoke bitterly, and his wife listened with tearless eyes she controlled herself with an effort “John, the children!” she whispered | 'They must not know. Let them have one more happy Christmas. They have j been prayiqg for you to come home. I Let ns smile and be happy with them for a few days. Let us forget the dread future” Once during the evening she spoke of a pardon which might lie asked of the governor. “It Is n vain hope. <ioar,’’ her husband . said. “VYe will not waste ourselves on It.” And ho relapsed into thoughtful silence. But for all the shadow that hung ; over the home there was n Christmas tree, and the Anstmtber babies were i happy. Tlicir convict father played the role of Santa Claus.
