WANT HIM TO STAY.
Action of Kit Carson Post on Gen.
DyrenfOrth's Request.

There is harmony and good feeling be-
tween the Union Veterans Union and the
Grand Army of the Republic. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago, Kit Car
son Post took exception to the action of
the commander-in-chief OF the Union Vet
Grams Union, as seeming to involve the
post in politics. in violation of article XII
and that the matter was referred to a COM
mittee, which, however, reported that,
strictly speaking, there was no violation
But the whole matter had the appearance
Of friction.
General Dyrenforth, the commander-in-
chief of the Battle Men, or Union Veterans
Union, and who is member of Kit Carson
Post, recently asked for a withdrawal card
from the post. Thereupon resolutions were
passed by the post, requesting him to re-
main, and letters were written to him by
the post commander and the sdjutant.
in his letter. said: "A resolution was passed
by the post last night, expressing our high
appreciation of you as a gentleman and a
conrade, and requesting you to withdraw
your request for discharge and to re-
main with US in old Kit Carson Post. There
was not single dissenting voice, and 1t
would have done your loyal heart good to
see the brotherly spirit that filled all our
hearts. The adjutant will officially inform
you of the action Of the post
You will please attend the next meet
ing, october IL, which is the date of in
spectioL and visitation Of the department
commander and staff You are very cor
daily invited to be present.
Chas. F. Keefer, adjutant, wrote as fol-
lows: 1T affords me great pleasure to be
the instrument to transmit to you the In
closed copy of resolution unanimously
passed by this post at its last stated meet
ing. Had you been present to hear the
encOmiums on your well-knOwn acts for
the amelioration Of the old soldier, on every
opportunity, you could not have helped to
have felt gratifed at the esteem felt and
expressed on that occasion.
Having had the satisfaction Of voting
for the resolution, 1t seems unnecessary
for me to add that 1t afforded me additional
qualification to remember favors bestowed
on me personally by you"
The resolution refers to the asking for a
discharge withdrawal card from the post,
and recites that as the entire membership
of the post recognizes in Comrade Dyren-
forth a highly worthy and desirable COM
rade of the G.. A. R., and a true and earn
est friend of the old soldier, it Is resolved
that Comrade Dyrenforth be, and is hereby,
requested to reconsider his determination
to withdraw from the Grand Army Of the
Republic, or from this post

Sides with EnSIan Il.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:


l thoroughly agree with James Morris
Morgan In tonights Star in regard to our
sympathy with England in the Boer affair.
Every true American should feel proud of
the kindly spirit which Great Britain
showed US when we had our trouble with
Spain in 1893. Where did Dewey get sup
plies for his fleet when he blockaded Ma
Mia but from Hong Kong. whose governor
"winked" at the means which en-
ployed to furnish the American navy with
articles which they absolutely needed. This
hue and cry against England is senseless,
She has proved to be a friend when other
powers have tried to down US.
Here Is a historical fact: When the prn-
ciples of the Monroe doctrine were an
nounced in Europe, the continental nations
formed themselves into an alliance, asking
England to Join them, to present a solid
front to our little republic at that time, and
to say to US, I'VE will take and hold as
much American soil as we desire" But
Great Britain fatty refused to enter such a
compact, and the consequence was the I'M
holy (they called themselves holy) combi-
nation came to naught.
| am proud that / am for England I am
proud that all our courts of law and the
principles of our state constitutions come
from England. Wherever the English flag
floats there will be found liberty and JUS
tice. English Drawn and blood have made
our country The south In the war of the
rebellion fought desperately and bravely,
and against many odds. Why? Because
her people were descended from the Eng
fish, Scotch and Irish, in the proportion of
three-fourths English. The English-speak-
ing nations will be the nations of the world.
The Beers stand in the way of civilization,
and In these days the word Is Advance"
