We aie already united; the peace which Kraut and Leo made at Appomattox has been kept, not by 'law or restraint, hut by lowe and fraternal regard, The Union today rests mot on force which may fail, but rests in the hearts of the people, a union . that never can lie severed. “If I have been, permitted in the slight est degree to help in the work of re conciliation ami unification, 1 will es teem. it the greatest honor of my life. Acnen I made tihe call for troops to pros ecute the 'Spanish war, men from the .\orth and 'South, without regard to po litical belief or religions creed rallied to t..e Standard of the Union. The lest men of the South came; the sons of old l oafederate soldiers. The best num of the .North came, the sons of the old members of the Grand Army of the Re public. All came together in heart and 1131111 to follow the Hag of their country wherever it might lead. We have been reconciled; more than reconciled, far our reconciliation has been baptized in the heat blood ..f .both sections of our beloved country. If a Northern soldier put the flag up at Santiago, a Suutiiern soldier, the gallant Brumby, of Georgia, put it up over Manila. It rests with us to look to the future, putting the past be hind us. Aim! this Government relies upon the patriotism of the country, North and Smith, to stand by the pur j/oses of the Government and follow ;u the pathway of its destiny. “I um glad to meet and greet you: we come together not as we came a third of a century ago, with arms in out hands, but with love for each other in our hearts.’' PEACE AND PATRIOTISM.

The blessings which have been showered upon us. have been al most boundless and no nation in the world has more to be thankful for than ours. “We have been blessed with good crops and fair prices (a voice: “And good times”). Wages and employment have waited upon labor and, differing from what it was a few years ago, labor is not waiting on the outside for wages. Our financial condition was never better than now. We have good money and plenty of it circulating as our medium of exchange. Banks may fail, fluctua tion in prices may come and go, but the money of the country remains al ways good: and when you have a dollar of it you know that dollar !s worth one hundred cents, liecnnse hack of it is the Government of the United States. “Not only have we prosperity, but we have patriotism and *vhat more do we want; we are at peace with all the nations of the world and we were never on better terms and closer relations with each and every one of them than we are today. We have a little trouble in the Philippines, hut the gallantry of tin- brave hoys who have gone there will.

The United States Will Look After Them —A merionn s r ||li ere. Washington. Oct. 11.—It is practically settled that the United States will look after the interests of Great. Britain in she Transvaal in the event’ of war. Al though Great Britain has made no for mal request for such action on the part of the United States up to a late hoar this afternoon, it is believed that there is a perfect understanding to that effect between the representatives of the two Governments. Mr. Tower, the British Charge d’Affaires had another confer ence with Secretary Hill at the State Department today, at which it is l>e lieved an understanding was reached that tilt* United States would look after British interests in the Transvaal in ease the withdrawal of tlie British repre sentatives was made necessary by a declaration of war. The United States representatives in the Transvaal, and also in the British Colony of Natal and Cape Colony, as well as the consuls in the Free State will Ik 1 very busy men in the event of an outbreak of hostilities, for in addition to the British interests which will Ik 1 confined to their care, their attention must be directed to those of American citizens. These are by no means incon siderable in extent and value. The liest information the State Department has lss*n able to gather tends to show that there are no less than 1,000 American citizens in the Transvaal and Free State alone, and these Americans are, as a rule, men of standing, representing in many cases great American manu facturing and exporting concerns, as well as being charged with suiierrision over (the interests of American capitalists who have invested in the gold and dia mond fields to she extent of many mil lions of dollars.
