Pattison, as sisted Co. F, 8th Hegt., X. G. P.. of that place, to dedicate its new armory yester day. The affair was very pleasing and successful, but for some reason or other there was not the outhustasm in the town that wa3 expected. Tho crowds expected were not there and what enthusiasm was manifested seemed to die out when the ceremonies were declared at an end. Many of the eating houses and saloons dis played special banners announcing the unit, nt "lint rnlT.u. nr.,1 om,.l.i.lnt., II but they, too, failed to draw a fair holi day patronage, as early as eight o'clock In the evening tho "refreshment" places 3CCU1I.II UCBCI ICU. -LUU-U IW1U11IIU uecil CX- pected to supplement tho dedication with a good time generally about town had cone to their homes, or were assembled in groups on the pavements, comparing In their conversations the success of the day with that of previous holiday occa sions. The prevailing opinion was that the times were too hard for a season of festivity. E. C. WAONER, Capt. - So far as the dedication went it was all that had been announced and expected. Governor Pattison was on hand and made a very appropriate and satisfactory ad dress on the National Guard. The Gover nor arrived at Girardville In a special P. & It. car shortly before noon and pro ceeded to the residence of Capt. E. C. Wagner, where he dined witli General Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia: Major M. A. Gherst, Lancaster: Col. Krumb haarnnd Dr. It. H. Reed, of Philadelphia; Adjutant General Greenland, of Harris burg; Col Frank McGeo and his son, Hobert, of Wrightsville ; Lieut. Col. George W. Hyon and Capt. Meyer Strause, of Pottsville, and many other prominent people. The ceremonies at the Armory com menced at 2:15, the Citizens' Hand of Girardville oueniiiL the urogram with a selection. General Louis Wagner then presented tue Armory to me company in a very neat and witty speech, which was Interrnnted for a moment or two hv Tom Nolan, of Butler township political fame, who wnnted the speaker to define tho difference between the Mclvlnley nnd the Wilson bills. General Wagner escaped t,he Issue by n very amusing and diplomat ic reply. Major M. A. Gherst, in the absence of General J. P. S. Gobin, who was unable to be present on account of Illness, re ceived the Armory In behalf of Company After more music by the band Col. P. H. Monaghan, principal of the Girard ville public schools, assisted by a number of the school teachers, hoisted a hand some new ling to the top of the Armory Hag staff. The flag was then saluted by three volleys by the battalion, music by the band and three rousing cheers by the assemblage. H. II. BANKS, 1st Lieut. Governor Hobert E. Pattison was then Introduced as the Commnnder-in-Chlef of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. Tho applause accorded the Governor on his appearance was flattering, but light. Daring and upon the conclusion of the address, however, considerable enthusi asm was manifested. Governor Pattison said : Mr Fellow Citizens: This Is au ex tremely happy occasion. The pleasure, however, is Increased by tho patriotic sentiment which is manifested not only by the presence of the citizens, but also bv the mothers and by the children. When the Hag that you have just unfurled was sent aloft I couldn't help but consider that In Its folds and its stars were repre sented the sentiments nearer to tho hearts of the people than In any other colors upon the face of the earth. Verily wo can sny in the language of the distin guished orator : "Let it rise, let it rise until it meets tho sun In his glory. Let the morning sun gild it ; and, parting, let It linger and play nmoug Its folds." It represents so much. It represents every individual citizen. It embodies nil that this building which has been dedicated represents. In no other country, among no other people could such a building as this have been dedicated. Have you thought, as you observed this building go up, stone by stone, and board by board, until It was completed that In no noothercountry upon the face of tho earth would a people, Indivldually.bo permitted, by themsclvos.to construct an armory. This is what tho Hag represents individuality in the government; individuality In citi zenship. There Is no power among the people, except that which comes from that Individuality, and It has become possible for us to have the privilege of being citi zens of a country where we are permitted to evidence our sentiments by the erection of suoh n building. Theso sentiments founded this government. Amongst no other people is there such a thing as n military body known as a militia. It is purely American. You can search thu governments of the earth and you can't find one. It camo to our people at tho very beginning of the settlement of the couutry. Left alone here ns colonists there fwere no means of dofeuse; they lmd to face the wilderness nnd con front a savage foe, and repel Invasion. They lihd no standing army with which to do Hint; and they were dependent upon themwlves. Whenever the nsaultcatne to thojVmerlcan people the call was not to a Branding army. The mother country did not Mmd nay t roups over here at that time t i protect and defend them. Fortu nately itiadidnot. The American people grew ( 1 neglect. , If the English govern ment lad planted troops here, planted them lere as a standing army, there would hove, been no American nrtny. Every Sentiment of American citizenship would have been forever surrendered. The nosence nf the troops from tho midst of thejcolonists made it ppssiblo for the estnbtCthment nnd founding of tho Ameri can sjfotcm of tho volunteer militia. 1 hope have impressed upon you this thought, because our citizens ought to know I where wo get our system and how it comes to us. When the senti ment pf individual liberty nnd freedom nnd right of citizenship took hold of the American people they were prepared by reasonjof their experience and had a vol unteerj militia to back up their opinion. Wo are indebted to-day moro to theso sentiments for our liberty than any other thing.jl Where do we get tho lnw for or ganizing the militia t When It camo to organizing n government the first article of the, Constitution of the United States declared that "We, the people of these United States, in order to have a moro perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote general wel fare and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves nnd posterity have established this constitution." One of its provisions was tho right of Congress to call forth the militia for the defense of tho country. The constitution of the United Stntes Is the Magna Charta of the National Guard. Pennsylvania, following tho constitution of the United States, starts out thut "We, the people of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, do ordain nnd establish this con stltutlon." Tho fundamental thought of all government came from the people. All the power came from the people, so that in the constitution of Pennsylvania we find the additional preamble "that the freemen of this commonwealth shall have an armed organization and disci pline them for its defense." When vou assemble to-day to dedicate this building you do It in recognition of that funda mental law which provides for such a privilege. I prefer the militia system to a standing army. I prefer thatourpeople, from themselves, when it comes to a question of defense, shall go out as they have in tho past and defend the country. I want to leave this country if tho time shall ever como to rise in the morning with the sound of a gun und retire from labor in the evening with the sound of the gun; when I see pointing down every highway a pieco of artillery for tho preservation of the peace. Every man who wears tho uniform of tho National Guard of Pennsylvania represents the constitution of his state. Every man who wear it carries in himself the law as given by tho people and our citizens cannot do more than uphold tho National Guard. MacII. Wiliihlm, Sd Lieut.
