The Sort of Peace We Stand For.

By the signing of the treaty with Spain this country is once more at peace with all foreign powers But in the future we shall be as the strong man armed We have promoted the security of the world by eliminating an influence which has stood for the methods of the middle ages. We have demonstrated that we are able to take care of ourselves, and that it IS just as we'll for those who are jealous of us or hostile to us to leave us alone. We desire to be on good terms with all the nations of the civilized world But It must be remembered that while we stand particularly for peace on earth' good will toward men, we stand par ticularly for peace on earth to those or good will to us, very different thing --Ex.

IA. R. Men Commend the Presidents
 Atlanta Speech.

 Kansas City q. A. R. men are great.
 lv interested in the suggestion of the
 nresident in his Atlanta speech, that the government should care equally for the graves of ex.Confederate and ex.Union soldiers in the national cem- eteries. A movement has already be- gun to carry out the suggestion and local member of the G A. R. give it their cordial indorsement.
 Major William Warner is heartily in favor of the plan.
 "The country is ripe for it., :" he said, enthusiastically, "I have been in fa- vor of it for a long time and three years ago expressed myself to that effect. The time did not seem oppor- tune then, but now, when we have passed through a war in which men from the South marched shoulder to shoulder with men from the North, think it is eminently fitting that the one country over which one flag waves should care for the graves of the men who fought on both sides in that great conflict. 1 advocated union of the blue and the gray and l believe that the time has come. The movement which has been started has my heart fest indorsement
 "It's a good thing" declared Judge H. c. McDougaL "There are no sec tional lines in this country any longer They have been wiped out by the blood that was shed at Santiago and San Juan. The fire from Dewey's guns burned down the last barrier between the several parts of this country When a Vermont Yankee won the first great victory of the war, and boy from the South was the first to offer up his life in defense of his countrys honor, there is no man who fought on either side in the war between the states who will not say that the last vestige of sectionalism has disappeared. Let the government care for the graves of ex-Confederates, for the men who wore the gray are citizens of united country"
 ''I would go farther" declared Col R. H. Hunt, ''and would have the fed eral government come to the relief of those solthern states which are unable to properly care for the surviving ex- Confederates. Let the government tenderly protect the graves Of the dead from neglect and assist in the care of the needy survivors, where the states are unable to do so. This movement is a grand one, and it should be carried out. It is suggested by a great patriot and warm earted man"
 Dr. D. R. Porter was equally fo~cible in his indorsement of the moy ement.
 Every ex- Union soldier, "he declared twill cordially commend the sugges- tion. I am heartily in favor os 1t. It would only emphasize what every body knows, that sectionalism has been wiped out by the recent war
 Captain S. c. Ragan and leading To- cal ex- -Confederates had a delicacy about discussing the matter under the circumstances, but it is foregone con- clusion that no action could give such genuine satisfaction to the ex-Confed- crates, not only of Kansas City, but throughout the country.
