The interchange of courtesies between
representatives Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic and the people of Richmond,
Va. growing out Of the hospitsble treat
ment Of the Grand Army men who visited
Richmond after the last encampment at
Washington City, serves to emphasize the
fact that the bitterness engendered by the
rebellion between the two sections Of the
country is rapidly dying out. This IL - it
should be.
However deplorable the war may have
been both In its inception and in its conse.
qusnces, thers is no good reason why the
feeling TINS aroused should be perpetu-
ated. We are now united people. living
under the best and greatest government
on earth. Whatever political differences
may exist between the North and the
South can be adjusted by means of the
ballot boz. Sectional prejudices and re-
sentiments. however, should be buried. and
. common pride of country should obliter.
ate all feelings Of hostility.

fitness and competency of appointees to Office,
and to remove from political action the demor-
alizing madness for spois, civil service reform
has found a place in our public policy
and laws. The benefits already gained
through this instrumentality and the further
usefulness it promises entitle it TO the hearty
support snd encouragement of all who desire
to see our public service well performed or who
hope for the elevation of political sentiment
and the publication of political methods.
The existence of immense aggregatiops Of kim
dred enterprises and combinations of business
interests, formed for the purpose of linn
iting production and fixing prices, is incon-
sistent with the fair field which ought TO
be open to everv independent activity. Legit-
innate strife in business should not be super
seded by an enforced concession to the de-
mands of combinations that have the power
to destroy; nor should the people to be served
lose the benefit of cheapness, which
usually results from wholesome competition.
These aggregations and combinations fire.
quently constitute conspirscies against the in
terosts of the people, and in all their phases
they are unnatural and opposed to our Ameri-
can sense of fairness. To the extent that they
can be reached and restrained by federal
power, the general government should relieve
