LET US HAVE PEACE.

A Peace Society that Wants a Hundred , Millions of Dollars. The Pennsylvania Peace Society, says a Philadelphia dispatch, has just celebrated its twenty-first anniversary. Besolutions were adopted requesting Congress to enact a law appropriating $100,000,060 for the purpose of organizing and maintaining, in localities where they are needed, industrial manual training schools and kindergarten schools free to both sexes; requesting the President to recommend to Congress such an appropriation in lieu of the large appropriations already suggested for the support and increase of the army and navy; deprecating the publication of reports of pugilistic encounters; favoring the exercise of suffrage without regard to sex, and the prohibition of the liquor traffic. A committee was appointed to look after Congressional legislation on the establishment of an arbitration council.
