EXPLOITB IN MONTANA. It is not nO many years ago since the road from Fort Benton to ielena was an unsafe one. Indian urders on the Mar ias, on tlhe Teton, on Sun river, on the Dearborn, on the Prickly Pear kept us in a state of uneasiness. He was a bold man who would roam around here by the Great Falls. One of Sheridan's favorite officers, at Sheridau's suggestion, organ ized a winter instead of a summer cam paign. He marched through deep snow, with the cold 42 degrees below zero, and took most desperate chances of Ifreeing to death, He thought the Indians would be in a state of torpor at such time, and I Sresume that his men wished he was also.. oe struck their camp. He surprised and killed them in their own way. It was terrible but it was the only way except to be surprised and killed by them. The eastern press opened a storm of invective en Baker; but Sheridan loyally shielded his subordinate and though lie was not responsible for what happened nobly took the responsibility. The country had peace and the Indians as well as the whites were gainers by the stopping of alt further killings and reprisals. Balser and many of his comrades are dead; but surely many of the old timers of these parts will gratefully thsink their great service on this temorial day. [Applause.] seme R Ts acIELD. During all the summer of 1861, while the war was raging in the states, Sheridan waited at the quiet post on the Columbia for a summons to the field .of glory. It came at last. He was made quartermas ter for Gen. Curtis and did much to assist that officer in his advance through Mis souri and to secure the victory at Pea Ridge. The contractors, did not like Sheridan. He was honett as he was brave. The same integrity and economy which he afterwards displayed where hundreds of million of contracts passed under his approval without one cent of benefit to him, made him odious to the jackals who followed the supply train. By chance he get into his rightful sphere of action. The second Michigan cavalry needed a trained and professional so:dier for a colonel. Capt. Russell A. Alger re commended Sheridan to Gov. Blair and he obtained the commission. 'This at a time when the politicians were making political brigadiers by the score, so that you could not throw -a stone any place around Washington withcut hitting an ornamental but uiseless general. The story of his ability was soon told. .In the summer of 1861 he was a lieutenant. In another year he was a general of a divis ion, and two years later all the world knew the name of Sheridan. He was always successful. Under Buell and Rosecrans he was as efficient and master ful as he was afterwards under Grant. No matter what happened to other parts of the army, the story of Sheridan's divis ion was the story of a divsion capably hi.ndled and fought to the finish. Stone river, Murfleesborough and Chickamagua directed on Sheridan the attention of the army while the press of the country was ringing with other names. CARRYING THE IIEIGHTS. At the battle of Mission Ridge his di vision was ordered to take some advanced positions and to stop. This done his quick eye took in what should be done. Without orders the division rushed like a 1torm up the precipitous hill, carried the crest, pushed the pussuit away beyond into the valley and astonished and grati fled G(en. Grant with a victory unplanned and unpremeditated at a point when it was unhoped for. Grant had his eye on Sheridan before. This made him his de voted admirer. When Grant was called to the scene of the great struggle in the east he wanted Sheridan-BSheridan's energy, quickness and conquering vigor. Hs was called to the command of the cavalry corps. The uses of different arms change with the times. The old uses of cavalry seemed to be obsolete. It no longer charged in heavy masses and de cided battle by its velght and shock. It was used as feelers; To guard the flank and rear, to act as the antenna of armies. It was sometimes out of the way when wanted; in the way when not wanted, and received more criticism than commenda lion. Like all original minds, Sheridan saw that the time had come for a new use for cavalry. That it should be an army of itself and fought as an army. Meade was disposed to use it as the books direct ed and Grant thought such use a proper one. In such a service the enemy's cav alry, operating in their own country, had great advantage. It gained a reputation at home and abroad for its dash and effic iency. One day Meade complained to Sheridan in a peppery temper.; The fiery little warrior retorted in the same spirit. Ge told Meade thathis system was a false one. Said that if he had control of the cavalry he could defeat Stuart and harass the army of Vir,i.ia. Said that unless he could do so no other order should ever "ass through him, and he walked in iigh dudgeon out of Meade's tent. Meade went and reported to Grant. Grant said: "If Sheridan says he can whip Stuart let him go out and do it." Sheridan did. The great southern cavalier was killed and his forces defeated at Yellow Tavern, which was followed- up by another vic tory shortly after, These were cavalry battles and after them Sheridan ranged op the James and down down the Chick shominy and only solid lines of infantry, or rows of intrenchments checked the career of his troopers. With the origin slity of a genius he had found a use for cavalry in modern warefare not laid down in the books. With what vigor and efficlency he used his system later on at Five Forks, and Farmville, and Sailors' creek, and Appomattox, where his troop ers were continually thrown upon the path of Lee, while the lower arms closed up behind till all was crushed as in a contracting coil has been the theme of every tongue. BR.A. AND GENEROUS. His campaigns in the Shenandoah val ley gave him an opportunity to show that he was more than a cavalry leader or a corps commander. The resources, the patience, the skill with which he fought the battles of Winchester and vicinity and sent Early "whirling up the valley," showed that a great general had now ap peared upon the scene of Stonewall Jack son's fame. This had been the valley of humiliation to the national arms. It now became the field of their glory. The umnon as well as the confederacy was to have a hero of the valley. and certainly both will be honored as great soldiers so long as war is the theme of history. The destruction of the corps of the valley, which had been used as a charge of un due severity on Sheridan's partl, is now known to have been done in the kindliest manner possible, under the express or ders of his superiors-and this fact has reversed the criticisms of his opponents -that nothing might be wanting to com plete his fame. A year ago this mouth he was dying. The iron frame that never tired, the en ergies that never flagged, gave way. The undaunted heart, wthich never failed his indomitable will, was attacked. He was struck in the citadel of life. He still fought disease as he had fought his bat tles-h.t though not old, his time had come. Beforhe he summer flowers faded he surrendered to the all-conquering foe. Sur-lpundqd by htse children and hies yotutg-an.j lovely wife; attended by his broanh ansd oflicers of his staff, hbade farewell to the scene of all his freatness, and consoled by the offices of the religion which his fathers had professed under centuries of persecution, possed quietly over to tie camps and posts of thousands of the comrades that he had known and loved. A NOBLE GENEROUS HE.RAT. Those who only knew him as the fiery hearted soldier--as tie living incarnation of battle, can scarcely conceive how kind anti generous and soft a heart he had. He had the modesty of a youth. A word of praise would bring the blush of em barrassment to hin cheek. He had the affectionate ways and low soft voice of woman; the most so of any man that I ever knew. He was a jolly comrade-full of good stories in which the joke was always against himself, and he was a dear and constant friend, who liked to serve those that he liked. HeI-I was borne from his modest cottage by the sea, where he had hoped to spend many summers with his and friends. Through admiring cities and crowds of his mourning countrymen he was taken to the soldiers graveyard on the heights of Arlington. There the an cestral home of the Lees and tihe descen dants of Washington overlooks the Po tomac. Across the shining crescent of the waters rises the monument to Wash ington, above and behind the great de partments, the White house, the spires and the roofs of the city rises the beauti ful dome of the great white capitol. On this Virginia plateau, under tihe ancient oaks, the acres of emerald sward is mork ed with interminable rows of soldiers' graves. Line after line makes a column heavier than ever was ranked in such a nass on any field, and their head, or at their feet-for these are to the front-on the brow of the hill lies the remains of Sheridan. Htis widow, as became a soldier's daughter and a soldier's wife, choese this proper spot-and declining civic demonstration, gave him a simple soldier's funeral according to the rules and the articles of war. The cavalry, the infantry, the artillery stood around in a hollow square. The volleys of farewell crashed through the startled boughs and over the-quiet dead. The solitary cavalry buglar stood over the new-made mound, and the sweet and restful notes of the call to rest-"the taps"--to which tired romrades have so often listened with de light, rang out the soldier's last good night. How often have you heard these notes, when as far as the eye could reach the horizon was aglow with the fires of rircling camps; when from regiment and battalion and brigade the welcome call to rest, repeated ans re-echoed and grew fainter and fainter in the illimitable dis tance till it faintly died upon the dark ress, and the ,notes of that bugle at Ar lington eached out over all these distant frontiers, across the mountains and down the Columbia to the sea, and from every true soldier's heart went back the echo, rgreat chief, kind friend, dear comrade, good night." wONTrANA'sB ATTLE FIELD. Not only to the soldiers of the war for the union should this day be dedicated. There are those who fell in defense of the settlers of these mountains and plains. So long as the graves of ouster and Keogh and their gallant troopers lie upon the hill of sacrifice; so long as that lonely monument upon the Big Hole marks the resting place of Gibbons' heroes; so long as the valley of the Milk river remains the scene of the victories of Miles and his soldiers, shall Montana be hallowed ground. Nor even to these alone is it consecrated. We must remember that these cataracts besides which you build your city were first mapped and measured by Captains Lewis and Clarke and a com pany of soldiers of the old army. Besides these, hundreds of lonely prospectors, miners and settlers on the Marias, the Missouri, the Sun river and the Yellow stone have fallen beneath the savage en emies of civilization. To these our thanks and gratitude are doubly due. They may not have worn the uniform and did not receive the pay of Uncle Sam, but they did his service. They died that the territory of Montana might grow and flourish, and now that the territory of Montana, like the passing Gladiator be fore the Roman Cosars, lifts its hand in the presence of the American union and utters the farewell cry, "morituri to salatamus," we pledge ourselves that the State of Montana will ever keep their Memorial Day. CELEBRATION NOTES. Mrs. A. E. Ringwald presented the veterans with button-hole boquets. This thoughtful kindness was reciprocated by the veterans who gave Mrs. Ringwald a handsome basket of flowers. Her father, Captain May, served with the First Min nesota, the same time as Majof Maginnis. The suburbs were well represented in the assemblage. The wind was strong but the orator was heard clearly. "Among the rural visitors were Mrs. J. T. Athey, Mrs. B. Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. Lainie Higgs, Mr. Browne, Miss Jones, Miss Pancoast and Mr. Lochray. Commander McGill came from Benton to meet his comrades here. Mr. John Atkins and his son Benjamin were prominent in the procession.
