A monument wa unvetled at Gettysburg last Friday to commemorate one of ‘the Most magnificent instances of soldierly courage and sacrificing devotion to duty the world has ever known. It pays a trib- ute in bronze and marble to the charge of the First Minnesota Regiment July 2, 1563, in the face of overwhelming numbers, a charge that was called by him who ordered it. General Hancock, one of the most gal- lant acts recorded in history. It ts fitting on such a day as this, when patriotic thought should rule, to note this heroic deed as typical of the qualities of Amert- can citizenship and American soldiery. Students of the battle of Gettysburg will Teeall that on the second day of the fight- ing Sickles’ command was nearly annthilat- ed by superior numbers more advantage- ousty placed. For a time the federal left Was exposed. The point called Little Round Mop, one of the most important strategic STAR. |: t | sardle in all Cemetery Ridge, was unpro- tected and if captured by the confederates would give them commanding range of | the entire federal position. An assault was hastily organized and Willcox'’s brigade marched to capture the position. General Hancock saw the danger and realized that the Confederate advance must be stayed tfteen or twenty minutes at all hazaris while he could assemble a sufficient force to eceupy and hold Little Round Top. It was a crisis in the great ergegement. The sol- diers of the First Minnesota, inadvertently omitted from the line of battle, were sit- ting on the ground awaiting orders near at hand and with but a moment's considera- tion, but with a full knowledge of what it meant to the little foree and to the Union army, Hancock ordered the regiment to charge the on-coming confederates. There were 262 men in the charge, dashing against many thousands. The assault was so illogical, so hopeless, so preposterous, in view of the unequal numbers, that the southern forces were astounded. The iittle band went on, fast diminishing, but intent upon ch ing the advance. There was a shock, a brief hand-to-hand fight, and the cnward movement of the confederate col- umn had been halted. The Minnesotans had penetrated to the colors and had cap- tured them. The confederates, dazed by this example of courage, gave way and before they could be rallied Hancock had secured his reinforcements and Little Round Top was saved. The regiment came out of the charge with forty-seven sur- vivors but with the captured confederate colors. Fifty-six men had been killed out- right and nineteen were mortally wound- ed. One-hundred and forty were wounded and afterwards recovered. It has been es- timated that in peint of deadly results this charge of the First Minnesota is un- equalled in history. It was a far more sublime act of heroism than that at Bal- aklava, where six hundred men rode to h and capture by reason of a mistaken order. At Gettysburg there was no mis- take, no misunderstanding. The dreadful fact was patent to commander and men that somebody must be sacrificed, that were to be killed without hope of ving a victory, in order that the great- +r cause might be won. It was a glorious instance of heroism. Balaklava was an in- 1ance of soldierly obedience to orders re- s of their nature. Jt was, however, jess slaughter. A famous Frenchman observed, of this charge, “It is magniticent, bat it is not war.” No such comment could be made as to the charge of the First Min- nesota at Gettysburg. It was magnificent, and it was war, and it will be recalled by the American people even though no laureate has rhymed it into literature and fame. a us ———_ ++ + ____ A Pessimistic Trio. In three addresses delivered in this town yesterday, by men occupying high public station, the dominant note was that of ex- treme pessimism. All three speakers unit- ed in the opinion that things are about as bad for the country as they well can be, and that unless a change is shortly brought about the dissolution of the government is not far off. Mr. Butterworth, a republican, holding office under the present administration, de- livered one of these speeches. He is a bright man, of experience in pubite affairs, and for that reason one wonders at his sounding a note of such alarm. He brought forward no new reason for his apprehen- nm. He confessed to have spoken in a similar strain before. Corruption stares bim in the face at every turn. Men are beught. Legislation is bought. The trail ot the corrupting dollar is over all. The most radical change is necessary, and must take place, or Mr. Butterworth wouldn't sive a fig for the perpetuity of the govern- ment. Congressman Simpson of Kansas express- ed views of iike import, but, strange to say, charges home responsibility ior the whole unhappy situation to the party of whi Mr. Butterworth is an honored member. In other words, he makes Mr. Butterworth a party to his indictment. Sun, low as Mr. Simpson 1s in spirits, he advocates keeping up the fight for better things. “I hope to see the day soon dawn,” he said. “when we can get up and praise | our institutions without lying about them.” A noble aspiration! And accompanying it should have been one for a day when we 1 criticise defects to which all human institutions ble without exaggerating them for purely partisan ends. Senator Alien of Nebraska was the third member of this pessimistic trio. He laid about him liberally, as his brother populist from Kansas had done, and raked the re- publican party over ie very hot coals for its course in Congress with the tariff bill. Strangely enough, however, the Sena- tor himself had only the day before pre- vented a final vote in the Senate on the bill. When the republicans, realizing that the proposition would delay matters, with- drew their amendment for a bounty for beet sugar production, Mr. Alien, for par- tisan purposes, renewed it, and that pre- vented a vote. e Senator was probably thinking more about the campaign in braska this fall—Nebraska is interested in the sugar beet—than about the early pass- age of the tariff bill. erday was not the day for either the an or the pe ist. It was the day for an of . of cheer, of contfi- dence in the ability of strong men to gov- ern themselves for the com fects in government may without despairing of government, or mak- ing reform difficult. fe sree The Hawaiian News Budget. The latest letter from Honolulu from The Star's special correspondent, “Kame- hameha,” brings striking evidence of the ot a cable to Hawai nt. passe: once more to the 1. shows that eighteen days recently «1 between mailing days, a length of time cut of alt proportion to the needs of the world today, especially in view of the important developments lately materialized with regard to this particular section of the world. It is imieresting to nofe that tr Japan has realized this great need and has taken steps toward supplying it, bu: it » far more interesting to learn how nthusiastic she will be when she comes to see that Hawaii can never belong to her. It would appear trom this letter that the diplomatic negotiations between Japan and Hawaii have been conducted with a marked Cesgree of haste by the tormer. ntatives in the Her repre- islands appear to be im- patient of even slight delays and to be insistent in their demands when a Japanese warship appears in the harbor of Honolulu. No tidings of the annexation treaty had reached Hawail when the letter was mailed. ———_+-ee-. It would have saved a great deal of dis- agreeable suspense if Congress had short- ened the oratorical fuse of the tariff bill. soe The “Status Quo” Argument Destroyed | Seeretary Skerman’s reply to the conten- tions of the Japanese minister here regard- ing the Hawaiian annexation treaty is a complete refutation of every point advanced in favor of Japan. It leaves no ground upon which the minister can now stand, unless he persists in his petty eontention as to the irformation which he alleges Sec- retary Sherman gave him about the treaty. This point has dwindled into insigniticance and no lorger has any material bearing upon the fate of the annexation treaty. In- deed in the light of the categorical answers given by the Secretary to the protest it ts improbable that Japan will remain hence- forth as a factor in the discusston of ta treaty. Her protest can row be regardea as merely an effort to obtain advantageous terms for herself and her subjects in Ma- more wail,when the latter shall have passed under American dcminion. It is rather a play for position in the future than a stroke against ratification. It may have been originally intended as the latter, but the reply from the State Department rebs it of all such force. Secretary Sherman incidentally dis- pels an absurd misconception about the relations of the rest of the world to Hawai! by his rejection of the proposition that ‘the maintenence of the status quo of Hawaii ts essential to the good understanding of the powers which have Interests in the Pacitic.” He shows, indeed, that the annexation of the islands is the logical development of the “status quo” that has existed with re- gard to Hawail for many years. In fact, any other outcome would have been an un- settlement of the “status quo.” To post- pone or to prevent the joining of the na- tions wculd be to interrupt the steady course of events for seventy-five years or more. Secretary Sherman needed no better argument, however, to put this ‘status quo” proposition out of the debate than the showing that there was no mention of such a factorand no protest from another nation four years ago, when the se!f-same act was prcposed by Hawaii and in part ac- cepted by the United States; when, indeed, the negotiations had progressed to exactly the same stage as that which prevails to- day. ———_ + The fact that a great number of the miners who are striking do not speak the English language and have made no effort to learn it ought to assist in calling atten- tion to the immigration problem as a mat- ter of as much importance as the tariff or the coinage question, ————__+ +e ____ It is about time for Great Britain to as- sume a serene, philanthropic look and point out that when it has killed off all the seals, a very dangerous temptation to interna- tional ill-feeling will be removed. —___ + ¢«-—__ As usual, the miners’ strike means a heavy investment of time and wages with no certainty of profits. ee The really successful socialists confine themselves to literature and keep cut of polit - ————— Hawaii also will have a few fire works in the evening which Liliuokalani will rot see. 2 02 SHOOTING STARS.
