It is devoted to what may in the best sense he termed the arts of peace. It presents a view of' the world of science and of practical achieve- ment to its readers, the creative side of mankind having it as an exponent. In political economy sound doctrine regards destruction of life and of property as a world’s loss, not as the loss only of the person or persons directly afiect.ed. The war between the States, now that thirty years have elapsed since its conclusion, still plays its baleful part in impoverish- iug the nation. During a part of its continuance its expense was put at one million of dollars per diem. Now it costs nearly one half of that in one single item of revenue expenditure. The blue and the gray are again united; the evil passions awakened by the war have sunk to rest; but the financial effects are still felt and will be felt for years to come, unless they are Overwhelmed by the weight of new mis- fortunes which may be brought upon us by another war. For, like a lightning stroke out of a clear sky, an issue is created between the United States and England, which, incredible as it would have seemed a week ago, may lead to war. If it does, the conflicts of past generations will sink into insignificance campared with the new one, and every quarter of the globe will be involved in a struggle which will put back the cause of civilization and of independent gov- erumeot to an extent which can be measurable only by centuries. Out of the overgovernod nations have emerged two powers which represent. the greatest freedom ofgovernment. These two nations are objects of jealousy and dislike to the rulers of' almost despotic type which are over the older countries. In England, as in the United States, there is true representative government. The maintenance of the royal family is merely the figurehead of a monarchy and need rank as little more than as a harmless extravagance. The real government is as free and as representa- tive as ours. If the two great powers which are representative of the highest degree of freedom in governmental af- fairs undertake au interuecine war, it means the relegation of mankind to a still firmer grasp of despotic or imperial rule. England in the past. has been very aggressive. She has acquired great colonies by methods which her own historians and mornlists condemn. Re cently she seems to feel that she has enough, and her methods have changed, for the England of to-day is far different from the England of fifty years ago. Any accessions of territory she may contend for are sought by far more moderate methods than of old. Some seventy years ago the Munroe doctrine was enunciated by the United States. This doctrine, opposing the increase of the territory ofauy European government on the western hemisphere, seems to have been justified at the time by the events in Europe. To-day, pushed to its utmost development, it would make us the guardian of almost all the western hemisphere. We should logically feel that we are at the heck and call of every neighboring South American republic to fight its battles against European Powers. This is a pretty serious burden. It may lead to congratulatory messages from the coun- tries whose cause we espouse, but it will act as a constant menace to our peace. But the Munroe doctrine never will or can lead us into a more fatal conse- quence than a war with England. Our very interest is so tied up with her that whatever our animus may be, the con- test would have the aspect of a civil war. The similarity of natures. the identity of language, the ties of blood relationship between the two countries, the friendship engendered by the great amount of intercourse which has of late years obtained between the two lands, are elements which would give to any contest the nature of fraternal strife. The business aspects of the case are no less serious. Our vast exports are sold to England and are carried in English ships. She is our great customer for cereals and cotton and other products in which we act as almost the world’s purveyor. If a war occurs between us and our best customer, every blow we strike at her prosperity is a blow at our own. The first week of the war would do incalculuble millions of' damage; the succeeding weeks would see republican and representative government made 96. .1.- ‘ No. 46. contemptible in the eyes of the world, while lives and pro; erty would be anni- hilated in batt'es of unimaginable des- tructiveuess. The simple message of the President, which message seemed to threaten war, has already had far-reaching conse- quences. The fall in prices of securities and in produce represents an enormous aggregate. This would tend to bring people to their senses, unless by the perversity of human nature the misforâ€" tune be seized upon as an excum: or a reason for incurring othersâ€"a species of desperation which may find a precedent easily enough in the workings of human- nature. The finances of the United States, under what seemed to be consor- vntive treatment, were progressing satis- factorily. Diflieulties had arisen and had been met by the issue of bonds, and new issues were contemplated. All this went on smoothly because of the high credit of the country. Now a week has changed it all. The Christmas season of 1895 will be long remembered by those ruined in the crisis brought about by needless precipitancy.â€"- Scientific American. “ England is our Mortal Foe." CAPTAIN DA CUNIIA’S ADDRESS TO A ROOMFUL OF NE“? YORK SCHOOL-BOYS. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.â€"-â€"Five hundred and fifty American boys assembled on the upper floor of the Boys' Grammar school, No. 8, in King street, 0n Tuesâ€" day afternoon, to enjoy what their prin- cipal, Andrew T. Whitesido, called a Christmas racket. lvcrything would have ended in an entirely pleasant and harmonious man- nor had it not been for the introduction by Principal Whiteside, after all the regular exercises were over, of “ Cap- tain ” Cuoha. The captain is a tall, slightly bald-headed gentleman, with a large moustache, the ends of which are waxed out like giant. daruiug needles on either side of his nose, and are given a slightly upward tilt. He has a voice like the Bull of Bashan. Principal Whiteside introduced him as an old friend of the school, and for the benefit of' the adults present said that he had for several years been accustomed to offer a prize in the form of a watch to the boy who passed the best final exam~ motion. Capt. Do Cunha’s speech was most inappropriate to the Christmas season. There is a bare possibility that the Board of Education may call Principal Whiteside to account for having per- mitted him to deliver it. “ I want you boys,” said he, ” to remember all your" ' lives that England is our mortal foe. Sentimentalists have referred to Great Britain as our mother country, but she is a cruel and most unnatural mother. You boys are all young, and I feel that I am doing a great service to my coun- try in telling you to grow up as the firm and bitter enemies of England. Don't be mistaken by the idea that Eng- land is our mother. She is traitoroua, false. wicked, and cruel from top to bottom, and always has been. I want you boys to enroll yourselves as her enemy. She is like a snake that tries to charm you with its eyes before it destroys you with its bite.” “ Does England dare to fight us ? " yelled Capt. Da Cunhn. “ You bet she don’t,” yelled the boys, who were being worked into a high state of excitement. “ That’s right,” replied the captain. “ Hate England as you would the devil. She tried to smother the life of this reâ€" public out in 1776, and she was our foo during the war of the rebellion. We have absolutely nothing in common with Great Britain, remember that, boys. Pay no attention to what the pe:ice-at~any-price people may tell you» Remember that one American is worth more than half a dozen Englishmen, and prepare to fight for your country. Never forget that treacherous, wicked, cruel Albion is and always has been the foe of free America.” The boys were by this time soworked up that it required all the power of the principal to keep them in check. They stamped, clapped and cheered fer the gentleman with the long waxed mus- tachios. The full name of this fire- brand is, by the way, George W. De Cuuha, and he lives at No. 105 West. Eighty-fourth street. .r Lord Haddo and Ron.
