STANDING AkMY.-We :hink ii is no
part ofthe policy. of a civilized nation, whose
art is peace, TO maintain standing army.
The business of such army is -srdr, it is Pc
culiarly the interest Of the officers of the
army to have war, and in many cases we
think war may be traced to this influc nee.
AT the present time,t is,,he interest of these
pcnsioned paupers to have wal, and TO them
in our opinion, are we indebted for these
startling rumors with regard to war. The
public mind is rapidly arriving at a cond:-
ton TO estimate war in its proper light, and
to truly estimate those who make il bu-
sines. flour nation can be plunged in a
war, the effect is to deglade the mass Of
mind land cause corresponding elevation of
the trade of war and necessity for the army.
Much longer continuance of peace, and it
would be impossible to get our nation ,n,o-a
war; what then would become of the army !?
The officers seem to know this, and hence
the necessity ofan interruption TO the pres
ent prosperous condition Of peace. Is there
any real necessity for standing army? navy
may perhaps be a necessary evil, but is an
army. Who have a greater interest in the soil
than the owners and cultivators thereof,and
who could or would SO effectuaIIy guard it?
Every fion,ier can have guard of its own
citizens. True there may be some incon-
venience attending such condition of
things, but one effect of it would be TO dis
courage war and promote peace, which
would lie ample pay for all the private sacri-
fees or inconvenience. We hope TO live
to see he day when the profession of human
butchery will have sunk TO such level that
our young men will not seek the profession
of arms for glory. And when glory cannot
be thus attained standing army will quick
ly disappear.

HE ALPACA.--ITs INTRODUCTION INTO
THIS CoUNTRY.-An intelligent agriculu.
rist OF Alabama, writing in the Mobile Re-
gister, urges the introduction Of the Alpaca
into the United States with much show of
reason. The wool ofthis animal, especial.
" The finer qualities, is becoming an i'm
portant article in manufactures. II is
wrought into beautiful fabrics, and must
doubtless continue to grow more in demand
The Importation into Liverpool of Peruvi-
an wool. mostly Alpaca, have steadily in.
creased since the article became known.
In 1875, according to the statistics Of the
Mobile Register, the amonnt imported as
above YVES 5000 bales, in 1886, IL, OCO: in
1886 il reached 1850; in 1888, il was
25, 165; in 1889 il amounted TO 1869
bales-a quantity which was not exceeded
in the following year.

The NORTH wEST.-A friend writes us
as follows; "Thc Democratic party in old
Crawford are united, and never so strong as
now. Here and in 81 Croix county, we vii

900. Martin has just left. He spoke on Sat :

We receive equally encouraging accounts
from other sections. In letter from the
Hon. Nj. NJ. Strong, in the Milwaukee Cou-
rier, it is confidently asserted that Martins
majority west of Rock river will be three

Inns friends are calculating ON majority.

To charter Bank by our territorial legisla-
ture. Ii may be successful and il may not,
we think it will not, but if il should, how
vastly important that we have delegate of

coIve ihe express sanction of Congress be-
tnre II can go into operation. II will then
rest mainly with our delegate. Should he

Above is The the ticket nominated by the
Convention which assembled at Kellogg's
on Saturday last. We have not received
the proceedings Of the Convention, but are
told that all the towns oft the county but two
were represented, and that good feeling
and Ina rmony prevailed.
We should have been pleased to have
seen the old members ofthe house re-noni-
mated. We arc not aware that they desir-
ed il, if they did, Il was doubtless the vare-
ty of local feelings which prevented it. But
whilst we should have been pleased to have
seen them all nominated, we are not the
Jess pleased with the nomination of Mr..
Sheldon of Burlington. This is a most
excellent choice. Mr.. Sheldon was a
member of the last Legislature, and
was in Truth, as all acquainted with him will
admt,a pride and honor TO his constituents.
We have no doubt but the democracy will
come up unanimously TO his support, and
give him their full overwhelming majority
Messrs Jackson and Wooster, are un-
tried men, but those who know tn EN- will adj.
init them 10 be capable and honest. They
are good democrats, and will be found right
and firm on all questions touching the Dem
ocra,ic principle.
So faras the other and unimportant Off
ces arc concerned, there is no question, but
the nominees, are fully equal 10 the several
stations to whichthey have been nominated.
They are doubtless, also good democrats,
and worthy the support oithe whole party.
We have every reason 10 believe that
the wings will this fall make most despc-
rate effort. In view of it, it behooves our
fieIds 10 be active We are in no danger,
unless from our supineness and inactivity.
BE up and doing without delay then, and
have all things SO arranged that no demo-
crat will be found absent fro m the rolls on
the day of election.

We have every reason to believe that the
inslnnations of the Green Bay Republican,
copied into fhe American, that Mr.. Martin
paid his note 10 the Bank of Wisconsin, BY
buying up the pape, Of that institution at
great discount, is untrue. Mr.. Martins
debt to the Bank was transferred, and no,
paid to that Bank, but to another institution,
which received full and ample value for the
whole amount of Indebtedness. ] ct the lea
der of the opposition who says Mr.. Martin
must and shall be defeated owes the
Bank some thirty thou sand dollars, and is
likely TO owe it for the rest of his natural
life, although he has in reality properly am

characters; and more particularly as the Re
