Mt- - Chicago,- PATRIOTISM MUST GOVERN AND NOL STANDING ARAUES Washington, March 28. Lleutenant deneral N'elaon A. M Ilea, retired, sent a loiter of regret to the Democratic Club of Grand Rapid, Mich., which waa to give a banquet this evening. Owing to flood the banquet waa ab andoned. General Mllea hue author ized the publication of hli letter which la aa follow: ' . Washington, March 26, l0i " ; Mr. rvtrr Doran, preiildent Demo cratic Club, Grand Rapid, Mich. , "My Dear tUr: I regret exceedingly that owing to a very erlou tllneaa In my family I find It Impossible to bel with you on the Important occasion which bring the member of your club and distinguished democrat from dif ferent part of the country together. I alao regret that It I impossible for me to moet my gallant comrade In the tate of Michigan. t , "Having been Invited , to speak on the subject of patriotism, I ahould re ply, were I there, that patriotism come nearest the heart of every true citizen ft our republic It I especially fitting to give It aerloua considera tion at thla time, when we are men aced by aerlou evlla when we are approaching ai aerlou c rials. In our political history, and the weal or woe of thla republic will depend upon the Intelligence and patriotism of the sovereign voter. Their action during the Important event of the coming autumn will bless or seriously embar ran the future of thl country. In fact, the perpetuity of our domestic government depends, not upon the presence of great armlea, the will of a despot or the dictation of any ruler, bat entirely upon the patriotism of our citizen. - Patriotism can not reign within ft selfish heart or a. depraved soul. ' It is as pure aa the light of day and cannot be dominated by evil mo tive. The patriotic can be Inspired only by the noblest Impulses that ac tuate the spirit of man. lie cannot be engaged In an unholy cause. The leader or participant in act that only result In conquest devastation, pillage and spoliation, are not patriots Alii, too often under the pretense of patriotism men have degraded It In ruthless and cruoi ntarprlM deserv Ing condemnation rather than com mendation. ' "Men have been actuated by mo tive of moat selfish ambition or mer ciless avarice under the plea of ad vancing civilization. On the other hand we find instances of heroic self sacri fice throughout the page of history. A far back a the time of the great law giver who, refer amid the splen dor of an Bgyptlan court, preferred to espouse the cause of his own peo ple, even though they were in a hum ble condition, we find an early example of. patriotism. Another Is that of the Roman Consul and General, who, while in the hands of the enemy was given tho choice between liberty, af ter tho betrayal of hi people, or tor ture and death. He heroically refused, counselled his followers to renew their effort for the defense of the republic and submHted himself to a cruel am ignomious death. "Patriotism Is illustrated in the acta of our father who; Inspired by the love of liberty, contended against the then most powerful nation of the world, to establish our Independence that was a heroic age, when resolute men in every section of the sparsely populated colonies of the Atlantic coast espoused the cause of freedom. It brought forward from among that self reliant, sturdy race, the, noblest and bravest, the highest and the best representative men of any age or ol any country. Orators, scholars, states men, soldiers, were, the controlling spirits. There never has been a time when both in war and peace this country has not produced 'as strong a j class or men, lieuectuany, pnysicauy and morally, as the men of that age. "The highest, noblest and grandest of them all wag that character , who was not only first in' war, but first in peace. The men of America need not look elsewhere than to the father of their country for an exaniplar and true patriotic character. No more in fctructlve lesson could be given to the rising generations than to point to the public acts, the state papers, the wise counsels.the remarkable prophecy and the sage warning of the patriot and statesman who comprehended the frailitles of the human heart, and the dangers that would environ the repub lic that he and his compatriots estab lished, "Ha desired to prevent our nation from running the course that had 'hitherto marked the destiny of nations and it was his praysr that the free constitution might be sacredly main tained with wisdom and virtue; that the happiness of the people under the auspices of liberty might be made complete,' and that they 'might have the glory of recommending, It to the affection and adoption of every nation that was as yet a stranger to it.' " "Yet, the noblest act of patriotism of that great man was when he set the example for all time In declining con tinued authority. , The Imperial powers that were within his grasp did not allure him from the path of duty. Ilav Ing rendered, hi country an incom parable service, like Clninnatus, he was proud to take his place amid the rltltens of hi country as one of them, a title and position that he regarded as the highest among mortals, "A renowned English admiral said at the time of one of the most critical historical events, "England expects every man this day to do his duty.' It I equally essential now that every citizen of this republic should do his whole duty, and to discharge that sac red obligation requires high moral courage and fortitude. "We have come to look upon liberty a one of the natural elements of our existence. We give it as little concern aa If our ancestors were never com pelled to fight or die for it, or it there could Oe no possibility of ourselves or our children being deprived of it blessing. Bo little do we feel the bur dens of government and so beneficent are our political advantage that we little "comprehend the necessity for great sacrifices and heroic acts. We scarsely realize that little more than a century ago the great mas of the human family were serf, Slavs or ab ject subjects to some despotic power. "Nausht but universal intelligence. Integrity and patriotism will continue to maintain those institutions vouch safed to us by the father. Take warn ing betimes, guard with sacred care that which was priceless to our father and is so to us and our children, "I cannot better define patriotism than by bringing the Illustration homy to every citizen you have the op portunity during the coming autumn to benefit your country by your In dividual act or marring tts prosper ity by Indifference to or disregard of its true interest. "It la the men who exercise the power of citizenship that are respon sible for honesty and efficiency in our puMlr. afta's. The first requisite to good government Is universal intelli gence and patriotism, tamest devo tion to the welfare of our country. This republic nust continue in it march of progress or It must lapse Into de cay by the acts or apathy of ft own citizen. There is a aacred duty de volving upon every citizen. r V "You can have Just a good or Just a bad a government as you will, be it municipal, state or national; and our only hope rest In the true, patriotic devotion to the principle of our gov ernment ' -i, .' The opportunity and responsibility of the democratic citizen of Michigan and of the whole of Michigan and of the whole union are now greater and more Important than they have been at any former period of our history. There are many vexed questions and problems in which there may be an honest difference of opinion but there is one transcendent - principles far above all other questions, whether of economics or Individuals, and that is whether the spirit of the declaration of independence and of our constitu tion in brief, a pure . democracy shall prevail or perish. The change from oppression to liberty Is wrought by violence, but the change from de mocracy; to despotism ta quiet, InsM kms, subtle and fatal. . -. "May the patriotism of our country, men be awakened and be of the high est order and may the Influence of tt be felt in every section and depart ment! of the welfare,' happiness and progress of our own people through out all the land. "Very truly yours, Nelson A. Miles." FINE HANDBALL PLAYING. Contest For Championship Now Being Waged in Ssn Francisco. . San Francisco, March 28. By the score of six games to one, Michael J.
