The most important address in the volume is the one delivered when the State was a quarter of a century old. Its statistics will be of enduring interest. One of the most graphic is the Address at Wichita, describing the different types of Kansas soldiers,—with its tribute to the flag. The happiest literary effort is the picture of an army on the march, in the speech to the Loyal Legion, at Topeka. The Scandinavian Address, delivered at Lindsborg, was translated and printed in the Swedish papers in this country and in Sweden. Probably no other Kansas speech has enjoyed that distinction. The speech that has had the widest circulation and has done the most good is the one entitled “Republicanism in Kansas,” delivered in Topeka. It was called for all over the Union, but especially in Texas, Tennessee and Michigan, where the friends of Prohibition were endeavoring to have that principle placed in their State Constitutions. The most distinctive feature of Governor Martin’s administration has been the enforcement of the Prohibitory law and the redemption of the State from the liquor traffic. Should this book be read in any European country the reader will know just what Kansas is, and the greater his familiarity with the history of other lands and peoples, the greater will be his surprise and delight. Kansas has added a new page to the progressive history of humanity, and is still marching on. TOPEKA, May 16, 1888. ADDRESSES. PENNSYLVANIA AND KANSAS. Address at a Reunion of the Pennsylvania Society of Atchison County, held at Atchison, March 1st, 1878. MR. PRESIDENT: The reunion of Pennsylvanians held in our city to-day is a meeting to be commended, not alone because it affords opportunity for acquaintanceship among citizens native of the same State, and promotes social friendships among them, but because it is favorable to the development of that individual and National sentiment which, while reverencing birthplace and old home, has a still higher reverence and love for the broad country which stretches from ocean to ocean. Whether in Kansas or in Pennsylvania, the same brave old flag floats over us; our new home and our native State are parts of the same good land; and the Union, which takes in its wide, and strong, and loving embrace the wheat-fields of Kansas and the coal-fields of Pennsylvania, is the dearer to us because away off there near the Atlantic are the graves of our forefathers, and here by the Missouri, half-way across the Continent, are our homes, our wives, and our children.
