A REUNITED NATION.

War is horrible under any cir
cumstances, but it sometimes has
its compensating benefits. One
such in the present instance is the
unifying effect upon the American
nation. The last vestiges of the
dissensions that eliminated in the
civil war are disappearing entirely,
never again to be revived.
The fervor of Mondays celebra.
tion in the south was significant.
Common rejoicing over victory
tended to remove all old-time bar
riers of sectionalism. Dispatches
from Atlanta, on July 4 declared
the nations birthday was exten-
sively celebrated there for the first
time since the war, Chattanooga
celebrated the day with an enthu-
siam and a genuine spirit of patri-
otic fervor never before shown in
the city. From Vicksburg the re-
port was that tor the first time in
thirty-eight years Independence
day was generally observed. Mo
bile, for the first time in thirty-six
years, publicly honored the Fourth
of July. In New Orleans there was
a patriotic tidal wave, and the
Fourth was celebrated as never be-
fore in that city.
All this is full of significance as
indicating the unity of sentiment
of the American people. The ma
tion is indeed reunited The union
of the forces of north and south
against foreign foe who stands
for mediaevalis and tyranny who
has served to obliterate the feeling
of sectionalism, so that all are
today glorying in the nation that
stands as the champion of freedom
and civilization The people of the
south have borne a splendid part in
the deeds of the last few weeks.
