THE NEED OF PEACE. ———————= AUL KRUGER was not far out of the way when he said the South African republics could only be conquered at a cost that would appall the world. That war has already cost twice the burden imposed by the Crimean struggle, and the results threaten to seriously impair England’s commercia! position. The people are already restless under the imposition of additional taxes, and the whole economic. system, so carefully built up by Cobden and Peel, is tumbling to ruin, and the country has before it the dismal pros- pect of the gravest changes in its whole industrial structure. At the first blush it seems thag Eng- land’s misfortunes will be for the benefit of American trade. But this is questionable. England has been our best customer, and the convulsion that impends there will abridge her purchasing power, to our loss, and we will have to look for recoupment in our share of the world’s trade which she may lose. In that field, however, we haye to meet German, French and finally Rus- sian competition. So in the last analysis our own material fortunes are greatly impinged upon the condition of our customer, and it is not to our interest that her consuming power shall be decreased by the evils of war. From economic considerations she needs peace and constru struction. From a moral standpoint the need is still greater. Public tion instead of war and de- pinion in this country and England is at one in regard to the situation in China. The trade of that vast empire is suspended to our great loss. To compel China to tax her people for the payment of the monstrous indem- nities demanded means their progressive impoverishment and the decline of their consum- ing power to the loss of all the nations that trade with her. It is capable of economic demon- stration that every dollar of an unjust indemnity forced from China will be paid by the people of the Christian nations in the form of lost profits on commerce. The trade of the world is so unified that famine and poverty in one of the great nations is surely reflected upon all the other nations. It is highly creditable to the British conscience, however, that the English people are show- ing signs of revolt caused by the moral aspects of the Chinese situation. The Times has recently published a letter by Auberon-Herbert giving a specific account of the barbarities inflicted upon the Chinese by the Christian allies. Mr. Herbert says: “Wholesale deviltry was in full power dur- ing the march to Peking. For no useful purpose villages and townswere reduced to heaps of smold- ering ashes and the country turned into a wilderness. Unoffending men,women, children and babies were killed by thousands. Unspeakable crimes and outrages were committed. Killing was car- ried on for killing’s sake and property destroyed for the love cf destruction.” Professor Goldwin Smith has taken the most careful means to secure reliable information of the conduct of part of the Christian allies, and writes the result to the Manchester Guardian. He traces the spirit of savagery to the influence of the declarations of the Kaiser, and deprecates such use of imperial power s enables “an autocrat from his luxurious palace to launch massacre, arson, theft, outrage, ruin and famine upon an unoffending people on the other side of the globe.” It is no comfort to rejoin to all this that all the leading nations have sins upon them in their conduct toward the weak and defenseless. It is a hopetul sign that at last remorse is ap- parent anywhere among the strong. Public opinion in this country and Great Britain should nearly control the policy of the world. It can surely do so in the making of war and in the propagation of the spirit of injustice and destruction. Then why should it not also lead the world in a policy of justice and peace? We think it the duty of the press to present the economic and moral considerations in favor of peace and the exorcism of the war spirit that has run rampant through the world for nearly three years. It is a narrow view of the question to say that this country has made money out of the wars of others. That is true only as a temporary condition, for it is an ineradicable condition that gain out of another’s loss is not profit, for the loss is finally distributed and pi mercial demand and supply. POVERTY IN MAINE. nches both the com-~ RUESOME stories come from Bangor of poverty in certain rural districts in Maine. In Lincoln and Hancock counties the soil is poor and loses its small primal fertility in a few years, impoverishing the people who have lived upon-it. A dozen towns in that section have disincorporated through sheer inability to pay the taxes needed to sustain town government. No manufacturing has been introduced to take the place of decayed agriculture, and a population is practically perishing in its tracks. The story is pitiful. It tells of old and once independent farmers, whose lands have run barren, and whose sole resource is to mortgage their poor farms for enough to keep them till they die. One sturdy farmer, old but proud, whose farm had lost its fertility and ceased to yicld a support for him and his faithful wife, went to the Selectmen and exposed his dire situation. He was willing to work for wages, but there were none to hire him. He proposed, therefore, if the town would support him and his wife, he would deed to it his farm and all that was upon it. “That is all that I can do,” he cried. “I would rather kill myself and my poor wife than take a single meal at the town’s expense. We shall not live long and will not need much, and the farm will make the town whole. Take my offer, or we shall be hungry, and worse may happen in a month.” His offer was accepted. The town took his old farm and gave him and his wife shelter and food. Others have followed his example until the towns find themselves loaded down with use- less farms and taxes increasing. It is a pitiful situation. These people are Americans—our countrymen. There is not upon them the glamour of far-away India, or the romance of distress in Ireland. These old people, animated by that splendid spirit which refuses to live'on the bread of charity, are up in the cold and stony part of the prosy State of Maine. A small patt of the tens of thousands sent to relieve alien distress could be delicately ap- plied to the comfort of these stout-hearted old veterans, and more could well be spent in procur- ing the emigration, from that region, of their descendants. There is fortune in getting a citizenry of such blood and purpose as they show. Twenty thousand of that kind in California would double the wealth of the State in ten years. Such a population should not be left to perish, but should be transplanted to better land and happier conditions. The American people have had their sympathies stirred by the story of the Russian Douk-~ hobors who settled in Canada and are raising a cry of distress. It seems that these Russians left the empire of the Czar because they are opposed to war and the Government would not exempt them from conscription. But it appears they have other less pleasant peculiarities than devotion to peace. They oppose private ownership of land, and have raised an outcry against the Canadian Government because it compels them to prove up on homesteads it gives them for nothing. They also object to furnishing such vital statistics as births and deaths. They say, “Does not God know who is born and who dies, and when and where?” therefore why need Canada be curious about it? They also abjure marriage, and are communists as to women as well as property. Now, why should any American prefer such people as that for settlers, and let our own flesh and blood cease in Maine for lack of food and shelter? Sculptor Simmons, who placed upon the Logan monument at Washington a tablet mistep- resenting the facts of American history, has now sought to justify his conduct by saying, “All monuments and biographies are lies.” It would appear then that Simmons has no other ambition than that of posing as an artistic liar, and judging from the wholesale slander contained in his statement he is succeeding brilliantly. London papers have just discovered that in South Africa 1500 British troops were be- sieged for three months without any report of the fact getting into the news of the day, and now they are in doubt whether to condemn Kitchener or praise him for his ability as a press censor. [ —_— It is announced that Cleveland will spend the coming summer in the mountains instead of at Buzzards Bay, as has been his custom, and now the Bryanites will be wondering whether the new movement is designed to have any effect on the reorganization of the Democratic party. A Chicago woman, described by the, papers of that city asa “society leader,” is said to have . abandoned her husband “because he wears woolen socks”; so it would seem the rising tide of cul- ture in the hog city has at last got to the feet of the smart ser PR S R S S SANITATION OF THE { 1 Theater, Moral, Physical ; l "aND INTELLECTUAL. l | | By L.
