The spectacle of an oppressed peo ple battling heroically for their rights and their liberty, is one that at all times challenges the admiration and the sympathy of mankind. The blood of heroes has, time and again, sanctified the altars of Liberty, and made glorious the historj of the world. The stories of Spartacus, Tell and Arnold "Winkelreid fill the heart and set the blood, tingling through vein and artery. Resistance to tyranny is a theme that has been immortalized in poetry and flowed in fiery sentences from the tongues of orators. Its very essence fills the soul like a sacred song, and those heroes of all ages stand out vivid and distinct from the pages of history who poured out their blood a libation n the altars of Freedom. Our own country, grown to such magnificent proportions that it singly might defy the world, owes its existence to those simple villagers, unknown to fame, who met the army of the tyrant at Lexington and sent it bleeding and broken back to its citadel; to those sKame! Behold us ! Seventy mill ions of people, rejoicing in the boun teous gifts won by your valor, deny ing to our suffering brethren even the weight of our sympathy. How loner. Oh Lord ! shall the minions of despotism triumph? How long shall the defenseless fall beneath the sword of the despoiler? How long shall xur ears be deaf to the entreaties of the wretched? How long shall the blood of heroes enrich the unhappy soil of Cuba? How lonsr shall the cries of woe, the tears of sorrow, the wail of widows and the sobs of or- nhans find no resDonsive chords in L American souls? How long, -Oh! Lord? Sherman Appreciative. gran J men who at Bennington and Saratoga, at Eutaw Springs and Brandy wine, amid the ice of the Del aware, at Trenton, and the snow of Valley Forge, at the Cowpens and at Charleston, for eight years amid the surgings of doubtful and desperate battle, and facing, barefooted and hungry, the inactivity of pinchin winter, knew but one call, "Resist ance to Tyranny;" but one duty, to hew out their country's freedom, or to refuse to survive her enslave ment. Nearly a century and a quarter have elapsed since these grand men made freedom possible for us, yet fresh in the hearts of their coun trymen, as though it were but yes. terday, is the memory of their suffer ings, their heroism and their victory, Well may we be proud of them ! But how think you these illustrious dead would think of us if from the other shore their knightly spirits might be recalled ? Think you they could be lieve we were descended from such noble sires? Almost on our borders today a valiant people are strugslin for independence, even as our illus trious forefathers did. Against the armed force and determined will of a parent nation an oppressed colon lifts its weak, but courageous, hands struggling for the light to live and to be free; fighting for that justice which tyranny ever denies; pouring on the shrine bt liberty as gallant blood as ever flowed through the azure veins of the one-time glorious chivalry of Spain; sacrificing their homes, their property, their all, that they may. lift their eyes to the blue heavens from the free soil of Cuba. The world has witnessed no more gallant struggle, and it has witnessed no more culpable cowardliness than we of this boasted tree America have been guilty of. "We remain inactive while Weyler's bloody butchers mur der defenseless women and children, almost at our doors; we sit idle, dumb to the pleading outstretched hands of womanhood, deaf to the agonizing cry of childhood cut down by a ruthless soldiery of a barbar ous government; unmoved at the - heroic conduct of grand men fight ing for their lives, their liberties, their -homes, their wives, their chil dren their all. "We may not be murderers, but we lack little of it, since we might, by the least effort, put a stop to these wholesale murders. Shades of "Wash ington, -Marion,' Sumpter, Putnam, Greene, and all ye great immortal band of heroes, look down upon your Regenerate country and weep tears of At a' mass meeting of the citizens of Sherman county, held at Wasco Nov. 9, 1896, for the purpose of giving proper expression ol tneir ieenngs reiauvo iu he final completion and opening or the Cascade locks, County Judge John Ful ton was chosen chairman and V. C, Brock secretary. On motion a committee of nine were ppointed to draft resolutions, and they reported the following, which were unanimously adopted, to-wit: Whereas, The opening of the locks at the cascades of the Colombia will be of immeasurable benefit to the residents of Eastern Oregon, and particularly Shetman county, and the same has been greatly hastened by the earnest and nn tiring efforts of the citizens of The Dalles, who on the occasion of the said opening extended mucn generous nos pitality to our people, therefore be it Resolved, That the long-felt need ot connecting the lower with the middle Columbia has at last been met, and that it will stimulate business, encourage im migration and greatly conduce to' . the prosperity of our country. Resolved, That we recognize the in valuable aid that has ever been given by the progressive and enterprising citi zens of The Dalles, who have ever been foremost in pushing this great work to completion. Their private expressions and their public press Lave unceasingly kindled the fire of energy in patriotic hearts, who have labored zealously to free the Inland Emptre from corpora' tion's. grasp by. giving us an open river to the sea ; and we hereby extend to the citizens of The Dalles our heartfelt thanks for their earnest labors in our behalf. We shall ever remember their courteous treatment at the celebration of the opening of the locks, and the en tertainment at The Dalles Nov. &th. Let us now put forth oar nnited efforts, with renewed courage, to overcome the obstructions above The Dalles by con necting the middle with the upper river, and thus extending commerce three hundred miles further into the fertile regions of Eastern Washington and Ore gon.
