Kens at Rathmel. Helnw WO publish part of 111" address delivered nt Uathmel by Comrade H. VV. Knnz, tif KoynoldHvillo. Tho nrtielo has been rrowdoil. out until It Is n trifle lttte.but it Ih interesting enough to make irood rending any time. Following in tlin spereh: Friendship, whleh bus It origin In vour ItniniMlluto Hiuroiiml i ntr. in tint neighborhood, in the club house, or for tlmt ninttor In tho ehurch Itself, Ih not of sueh n lasting ehuriu'ler nx tlmt born of adversity, ns tlmt which brought men together to share nnil curry heavy bur dens nnil to moot grout responsibilities, iniicb less than thtit which cemented man to man on the bloody field of battlo. This lust one Is Indestruetiblo. It has been many tlmeu sorely tried and was not found wnnting: It created such a fraternal feeling that it surmounts iverything and will last until tho bugle culls ono from tho others, severing eai'thly, human lies, and even then our thought wander beyond tho graves nnd express themselves by adorning their resting places once a year with evergreen on this, by us created, grand iui'1 noble Memorial Day. As everything has Its wherefor, and nothing exists without reasons, so has tho Grand Army also its motives Bnd Its objects, but as they aro, by many, not understood, and by others willfully mis represented, I think a few words of ex planation why we exist Is not out of or iler on this day. Freedom and liberty are fruits which only ripen from the red blossoms of men's hearts' blood. Such was the ex perience of every nation that evor do ttlreii anil obtained freedom; such was the lesson taught to the thirteen colo nies which formed the nucleus of tho present U. S., but bloodier still Is the history of the generation, now passing rapidly out of existence, and who made this country really and actually free, not only by liberating six million slaves, but also by raising tho poor whites of the South to a higher sphere; by pro tecting tho old, and establishing a new Union, which la now recognized as In dissoluble On Friday, April the 12th, 1801, at half past four in tho morning, thun dorod a cannon down in the harbor of Charleston, S. C. A shot was aimed and fired by erring brethren against the national ensign, which waved from tho ramparts of Fort Sitmptor; fired un dor the leadership of an arrogant, slave' holding power, who either meant to govern or ruin tho country, and to do stroy the best government on earth What was tho result of that shot? It was tho signal for a long and bloody war. Its sound vibratod from tho South to the loyal North, from tho At' lantic to the Pacific It awoke thousands upon thousands from their Indifference from their slumber, who thought such an act Impossible. They marchod forth to recent the Insult and to do battle for our beloved Union. . In 1805, B. F. Stephenson, of tho 14th III. Infantry, with several others, con ceived the Idea to create a fraternal and charitable order Into which all Ex Union soldiers, who were honorably dis charged and were loyal throughout tho war, could be mustered, and In April, lHtitl, tho first Post of the G. A. H. was mustered at Decatur, III., and has since assumed euoh proportions that but few soldiers stand outside the pall of our order. But this Grand Army has been ao cusod of being a political machine! Oh, how wrong! We were, and are still, sometimes yet blamed for being a secret society, and that all secret societies are, more or less, dangerous In a repub lic Certainly very plausible charges. Our secrecy mainly consists In protect ing ourselves from would-bu Impostors. We have no purpose which we are un willing to reveal to tho world. The Grand Army bus no obligations which uny loyal citizen cunuut take without hesitation or reservation. It has no political significance, No, we aro a brotherhood of an entirely different character, and unless our hearts were flint we could not be insensible or cold on many hard contested tmttietieius. Our lives deoniled upon their fidelity and courage and It'ls therefore that we adopted, among ourselves, that dear word, ''Comrade." Our motto Is, ''Fraternity, Charity and ltyalty." We believe In that fra ternity which joins us In Indissoluble union, Justleu and right, that never for gets the brightness of that cause which was made Illustrious by tho heroin I'.ne rlllee of those whose graves should be the shrines of u nation's reverence. Wo love to meet fraternally together during the short time yet allotted to us, to stieuk and learn from the past and strengthen us for the future. Wo believe In a charity that, while mei'i'lful tit a conquered foe, will not stultify Itself by surrendering the fruits of victory. We believe lit a charity that shows Itself not only with an open hand, but also by a generous heart, towards our former opponents, fur they were bravo; they were, and lire now, Americans flesh of your flesh, blood of your blood. Wo must especially lie charitable to our snlTerliig eomrailes and our destitute wards, when the out side world forgets what haptned thlrly-flvo years tigo. Wo believe In a loyalty that ivcognly.es only ono country and one ling, that rails rebellion 11 crime, and the penalty of treason, death. Loyalty! I wish to emphasize this word, us it is the rallying word of our whole body; It gives pulse beat to every heart In every Post; It Is written upon each and every altar we call a soldier's grave; it Is woven in every thread, red white or bine of our glorious banner; It shines in every ray of light we have plucked from the skies to beautify our Hag. Our views are written upon tho pages of our nation's history In InelTace- able characters, for the Ink was blood and the pens our sabres and bayonets. It seals our allegiance to one country and one dag, that Hag which Is dignity Itself; the emblem of purity, liberty, Mwer and strength, that Hag which Is reverenced and feared by other nations and should be the dashing morning star for the down-trodden and oppressed of nil countries. That nag which wo raised to Its highest glory, It gives strength. Yes, comrades, when your footsteps get lacking and weary, when you are outdone In tho dally rnee for existence by those who did not give four years of their best time to a suffering nnd palpi tattng country, then look upon that Hag and you will be enthused anew with that patriotism which carried the western armies safely from Atlantil to tho sua, and the Army of the Potomac from tho wilderness to the Canaan of Appomatox. Look upon It, and It will give you strength, until you are called by tho Chief of Chiefs to muster upon tho parade ground of heaven. ELECTRIC LIQHT9 ON.
