MONUMENT TO CONFEDERATE WOMEN.

Maryland State Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy will meet in this city tomorrow, and among other matters of moment will consider plans for the erection of a monument to the women of Maryland who gave aid and sympathy to the Confederate cause during the Civil War. The proposition is one that should be encouraged. Never in the history of the world were there more or finer exhibitions of courage, devotion and endurance than those furnished by the women of the Confederacy, and to these the Maryland women bore their full part. No sacrifice was too great for them to make; no hour was so dark but that they saw through the gloom the ray of hope; no reverse was so overwhelming but that they rallied in the midst of their grief and gave cheer and comfort to the soldiers in the field; no battle was so bloody but that its close found them upon the ground, succoring the faint, binding up the hurts of the wounded, looking after the interment of the dead. The glory of their deeds will endure while the republie lives, and the generation that has followed them will honor itself and teach its daughters to honor these heroines by building a monument to commemorate their acts of courage and inspiration in the days of fire and blood.
