WE ARE ONE CLUB,


Every time the veterans of the two old
armies meet additional evidence Is given
that the war is over, and that the people
OF these United States are again united
All evidence was given OF this when
the Confederate veterans went 10 Chica-
go last year TO attend the dedicati
OF the monument TO the Confederate
dead in that city, and at the reunion of
the Confederates ut Richmond last week
the following resolution was adopted In
appreciation Of the kindness which the
people of Chicago extended our repre-
sentatlves, and the still greater act in
the honor paid TO the Confederate dead
by the people OF that city, in the aid
which they gave in the erection OF the
monument:
The United Confederate Veterans as
sembled in annual reunion at Richmond
ever mindful OF their dead comrades
wherever they may be, and holding in

honor, desire 10 express to the city of
Chicago their most grateful acknowl-

A STAB IN THE vITALs OF PRO.
TECTTONISM.

In speaking OF the expedition OF Amer
lean manufacturers which has just
started for South America to study the
conditions of the Southern half OF tie
continent and find markets for American
wares, the Ph;aadelphia Record says
that although the blow Is indirect, 81 is
a most potent stab in the vitals Of pro-
tectionism.
If it be true that they can sell their
wares at an advantage In foreign mar
kets, our contemporary very properly
says, what need is there for further
protection" in the home market? There
is mona When manufacturers Begin to
look for markets IN other countries Il
long step has been taken toward enamel
pated trade and better times for every
body except the trusas.
The McKirleyites. who are continually
raising the cry for more protection.
might see a lesson In che above and find
how far wrong their theories are.

THE REPEAR.

The long days toll was over,
y bird sang in n tree:
The sunshine kissed the clover
Goodby, and-she kissed me
Then lovelier seemed the sunshine.
And sweeter sang the bird,
And II the clover listened
My throbbing heart 1t heard
For all day long a reaping
In fields of silver shine,
l felt her heart a-creeping
And cuddling close to mine.
And Lighter seemed the labor.
And wirsomer the wheat
That spread its golden tresses
For the falling OF her feet.
And when the toll was over
a bird sang In a tree;
The sunshine kissed the clover
Goodby. and-.he kissed me.

American breast. A dominic at Har-
ward seems to be the only American now
surviving who does not know the war Is
over. He ought to flock with the uncon-
verted shade of the eouthron who ex-
pected to call the roll of his slaves In the
same vicinity. The old sectiornlism is
dead. Let,us take care that there shall
be no new sectionaEsm.'
This is in the proper spirit and. as the
Atlanta Journal remarks. we believe It
is beyond the power OF dcmagogues and
fanatics to re-establish the old or ito
create new sectionaltsm. We are one
