[Translation.] Democratic Society of Sienna,  May 22, 1865. Sir: The undersigned, fraternizing with all those who work for the emancipation of the human race, cannot but highly revere the name of him who has headed the armies of freedom. Abraham Lincoln shone like a star in the heavens! The hand of an assassin attempted to extinguish it, and for the moment succeeded; we say for the moment, because he has now arisen again, crowned with the glory of a martyr. The intelligence of the infamous crime horrified every one who professes to believe in liberty and progress. We, not the last to curse the ball which crippled the hermit of caprera, shed our tears to-day over your great misfortune, and have resolved that the name of the republican emancipator of the slaves in America should be placed in the hall of our meetings, as a proof of our friendship, and as an evidence to posterity of our eternal condemnation of this infamous assassination. Desiring you to be the interpreter to your countrymen of the sentiments which animate the members of this society, I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant, F.

[Translation.] Catania, May 4, 1865. The democratic society called the Sons of Labor, in Catania, to the heroic nation the United States, in condolence with their grief. Brothers: You fought the war of liberty and independence against slavery and tyranny. With the anxiety of those who hope and fear, we waited for the news from your battle fields. The victories your gallant soldiers gained were victories for us, and their dangers seemed to be ours; but the good genius of humanity, as unerring as destiny, will lead you triumphantly on in the path of progress. You were victorious at Richmond, and human rights triumphed with you in your victory there. It was a great advance in the path of right and justice; joy was suppressed in the struggle, for it was terrible, and will be long remembered. But, sad result! Abraham Lincoln, the champion of your rights, the great, victorious citizen, remained the victim of a vile assassin. Cursed be the spirit of evil Brothers, we feel the blow that struck you: accept the greeting of love and consolation the Sons of Labor send you as a solemn tribute of profoundest sorrow. But, brothers of America, now that your country is free, swear, upon the tomb of your deliverer, to rescue your brethren from the bonds of slavery. His memory will be the terrible leader in your battles—the compact of alliance that binds you close together. His love shall be the example to guide you against those who seek to disunite you. The name of the wicked shall perish from off the face of the earth. Be united, and extend the hand of pardon to your wayward brothers, and thus you will demonstrate to tyrants that the spirit of revenge is blotted from your hearts. [l. s.] TOMMASO OLMATO, President.

Title A name given to the resource Chicago Drainage Collection Subject The topic of the resource Illinois--Chicago Illinois--Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Waterways Illinois--Chicago Sanitary District Dams--Design and construction Canals--Design and construction Canals Dams Description An account of the resource The Chicago Drainage Collection documents the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during the 1890s and early 1900s. The canal serves as a shipping link between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Missisippi River and it carries Chicago's sewage to the Des Plaines River.  Construction on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal began in 1889 with the creation of the Municipal Sanitary District in response to fears that sewage pumped into the Chicago River and into Lake Michigan would contaminate the city's drinking water. The canal also served as a replacement for the narrower and shallower Illinois and Michigan Canal. Canal construction ran under the leadership of chief engineer Isham Randolph from September 3, 1892, known as "Shovel Day," until January 2, 1900, when water was first released into the canal.  During the construction process, engineers successfully and permanently reversed the flow of the Chicago River, enabling it to carry waste water away to the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. Admiral George Dewey dedicated the canal on May 2, 1900. Additional construction extending the canal to Joliet ran from 1903-1907.  Photographs in this collection include images of the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Bear Trap Dam at the base of the canal in Lockport, Illinois. Other images include Admiral Dewey's visit to dedicate the waterway as well as before and after images of the empty and filled canal. Still Image A static visual representation.

The poem refers to United States Navy Admiral George Dewey's visit to Lockport after the canal opened. The poem reads: "Glad welcome gallant sailor! Our Navys chief and pride, Whose name thrills every sailor heart Where ere our war ships ride. - Glad welcome to our channel Brave Admiral is yours, And the echoes of our welcome Shall resound on many shores. - We know you by your penant, We know you by your name, We know you by your glorious deeds Which gave you deathless fame. - For what you are and have been, For what you yet shall be, we bid you royal welcome Brave sailor of the sea. - To what then is your welcome? What is this work of ours? It is a bloodless victory O'er Natures rock ribbed powers. - Ours is a man made River, Now flowing full and free, From the great lakes of the Northland To the far off southern sea. - A river we have digged so deep And made so fair and wide, To carry ships like those Which float upon old Oceans tide. - We've digged it through the prairie, We've hewn it through the rock, We've walled its sides with masonry 'Twould brave the earth quakes shock. - The world has heard the story Of 'the men behind the guns', And America is proud to day To claim such gallant sons. - But who shall tell the legend Of our humble sons of toil? Who wrought so well to leave behind These mountain heaps of spoil - Of the men who swung the pick axe Heaved the shovel, drove the drill, Charged the sullen mines whose bursting Kept the country side athrill. - For the thunder of our blasting, Like the boom of many guns, Broke the silence of the midnight Met the rising of the suns - The riven rock to heaven Rose in tons on tons of wreck, then fell like shot from Deweys guns Upon a Spanish deck. - And when the wreck had fallen And the smoke had cleared away, The cantalevers labored And the mighty cable way. - The derricks were in action, The steam hoists and the cranes And steadily these mountains rose Upon the level plains. - The channellers cut gashes, The tramways groaned to bear The heavy loads the 'muckers' gave To be their toilsome share. - The dredges heaved their dippers Full brimmed with virgin clay, Then filled the big scow pockets For the tugs to tow away. - Steam shovels tore the 'glacial drift' And when their might was vain The mass was rent with dynamite And the shovels wrought again. - Lest our River run to riot And the Lake too generous prove, We have fitted mighty valves of steel A thwart our giant groove. - They take the crowding pressure Of the waters held at bay, And pigmy man is strong to mete This torrent on its way. - The turning of a capstain, The winding of a chain, Will hold in thrall this torrent Or turn it loose again - There was daring, there was genius, There was brain and there was brawn And from their gendered labor 'Twas a River that was born. - The labor of the Titans Was a myth of ages gone But this shall seem the Titans work To the ages yet unborn. - We would we had the Petrel here The Raleigh, Baltimore, The McCulloch and the Concord With the gallant tars they bore - And with them the grand Olympia The Flag Ship of the fleet, And her mate the sturdy Boston 'Twould give us joy to greet. - So a welcome gallant sailor Who in this month of May Sailed in and sunk the Spanish fleet in far Manilla boy. - Isham Randolph.
