The twenty third annual grove peace
meeting in Fisk's grove, Mystic, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, August 81, %
and 80, is held to assist in the work of
substituting arbitration for war, to oppose
capital punishment and intemperance, and
to favor all those things which work for
peace. The progress of this reform has
been especially marked for the last few
years. The recent peace congress in Lon
don, to which as delegates were sent Mrs.
Belya A. Lockwood, Levi K. Joslyn, Rev.
Amanda Deyo, Rev. R. B. Howard and
Rev. A. A. Miner, has awakened an inter-
est never before felt in England The
German emperor short time ago recon-
mended a. gradual reduction of the stand
ing armies of Europe, and the pope in a
recent message favQrs international arbi-
tration, and offers his service as arbitra-
tor. The Pan-American congress opens
the way for treaties with the American
nations which, if carried out, will make
war practically impossible on this conti-
| nent. The revolution in Brazil, while
showing the folly of depending for sup
port upon standing army, yet proves the
peaceful power of enlightenment, when
ruler will abdicate his throne rather than
endanger the lives and property of his
| subjects in civil war. Conrad F. Ston-
meyer, member of the Universal Peace
union and resident of Trinidad, is now on
his way to Europe, with the credentials of
| this society, as well as those Of the mayor
of Philadelphia and the governor of Penn
! sylvania. He carries also with him an in
PRODUCTION from Secretary Blaine to our
ministers across the ocean, recommending
| that they assist him in his work Of peace
in the presentation of international arbi-
tration to the courts of Europe. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Stollmeyer re-
/ Gently visited Venezuela, and by his eff
forts, opened friendly relations between
that country and Great Britain, thus pre-
venting war.
