6 members had taken in the civil WAT and I then said that men who have engaged in
 a sIngle battle or single campaign are apt to dwell on lt Rs the only one ever 1 fought Many of us, said the General,
 -Rre apt to assume that our war was the
 only conflict Of arms worthy of record. Others have preceded It and others will - succeed. We have now with A retro . spect ot only twenty-One years realized
 that the cIvil war m America was but
 single step m the progress of the ' world tO B newer and higher ciyiiza- l tion. The revolutionary WAT demon
 strated that the thirteen colonies plant
 ed by Europe on the coast of America
 had attained manhood and had s nat ursl right to all its functions, among , them independence. The war of 1872 demonstrated that the new nation was
 capable of defending itself, not only
 within its own domains, but on the
 high seas and everywhere. Then the
 Mexican war of lSi6-7 demonstrated
 that our domain must reach from ocean
 to ocean. from the lakes t0 the gulf,
 with ample room for development, and
 finally the civilized war demonstrated
 that we, its citizens, could defend the
 government against the greatest of all
 enemies-Ourselves. | LAIER-St. Louis was selected Bs the plRce for the next national encampment by a vote of PIP to IT for Nashville. | The encAmpment then proceeded to the

 NEW YORK, Aug. 6-Mathew Arnold, who IS in America. publishes letter In the London Times ID which he says: II suppose there is not country III the
 world where GlRdstone's favor Is strong CT thar ln the United States, yet even here If you weigh instead of count Opin- ions, the balance opposes his Irish pOl- icy. The main motive the Americans have for sy mpsthy with Gladstone k the temptation to please the Irish. Weighty opinion is not tat of the general pub llc who yIeld to thIs opinion. but that of men who look deep. The Americans believe the Irish ought to have control of their own local affairs.
