A Worlds Peace Congress.

In a carefully prepared statistical paper
on the errors of Modern Civilization"
the Republic Magazine for April, published
at Washington, shows that the Great Pow
ers are carrying larger armies to day than
at any former period in the worlds his
tory. 1t is also shown that as direct re-
suit of war and standing armies national
Indebtedness has increased far beyond that
of any former period. Ten Governments,
namely: France, Great Britain, United
States Italy, Spain, Austria, Russia, Ger
many, Turkey and India, owe twenty
thousand million dollars, an amount which,
to be transported in gold from New York
to London, would require a vessel to make
over thirty voyages across the Atlantic,
carrying one thousand tons of gold at each
trip. And this enormous debt burden has
been increased ten per cent. in the last two
years.
With these national presidents before
them, sub vernments-colones, states,
cities, counties, and towns-have adopted
the pernicious practice of borrowing mon
ey, especially in the United States, and
often for purposes of questionable propri-
ETY., until government and municipal tax
burdens have become matters of the grav-
est import.
In view of these facts, and in order to
reach and strike at the fountain head, The
Republic urges general movement among
the nations for the suppression Of the war
spirit and the Inauguration of an Interna-
tional Peace Policy, and suggests the as
semblng of a Worlds Peace Congress in
Washington in June, 1876. There appears
to be no insuperable barrier to such move
ment, and if once inaugurated and carried
out in good faith the result could not fail
of permanent benefit to the entire world,
in the advancement toward high and hap
pier civilization.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1875-04-17
RESPECTABILITY NO PLEA,

The Grand Juryman who made the
"Telling Speech published in The Wing of
3rd inst, is evidently not in sympathy with
that class of persons who think that because
given individual may be able to claim a
certain degree of responsibility, the rights
and best interests of the community must
be set aside to enable him to pursue a call
ing that still greater share of those quail
ties that make true responsibility, would
lead him to reject.
The question is not, whether Smith, or
Green, CT Brown, is such a respectable
citizen that he ought to have license;
but is Smiths, or Green's, or Browns Bar,
however well kept, needed at all. In fact
when its influence in keeping down the
fallen and tempting the weak and the
young, is considered, would not the CON-
munity be vastly better off without it.
The petty little personal, supposed, advant-
ages that might accrue to the keeper of
such place, ought certainly to have little
weight in view of such considerations as
these.
One thing that seems to middle the brain
of many who are clear-headed enough on
many subjects, is the argument, that such
and such a place needs house for the
accommodation of travellers, aud unless
they are allowed to have bar they cannot
afford to keep such house. A little of
the logic to which other kinds of business
To cd tn
the matter in its proper light. If the
wants of this little town or that crossroads
require a store or blacksmith shop, the
store or shop is pretty sure to be there;
but if otherwise, the population is too
sparse, or from other causes it does not
pay, then the people of the vicinity must
go to more favored localities for their
sugars and their horse shoeing
And why not SO with houses of enter
tainment. If experience proves that in a
certain locality the wants of the public
are such as to support house in supplying
the legitimate needs Of the travelling pub
lic-food, lodging, and comfortable quar-
ters-then such a house will be kept. If
there is not enough legitimate business to
make it pay. then let it follow the rule of
all other kinds of business and find bet
ter field for the efforts of the proprietor.
Why give him subsidy, in the shape of
bar, and tax the morals aud well being of
the community to conduce to his support9
When the people generally will consent
to look this matter logically in the face
and act in accordance with their convictions,
then we will not find them yielding to the
clamors of some clever fellow for license
to sell liquors because he is a cleuer telloao;:
nor a Grand Jury fairly representing the
county granting liquor bars in rural dis
tricts mile and ahalf apart, on the same
road; nor giving liquor licenses to five
hotels in the little town of Elkton, and to
an oyster house and a wholesale dealer be-
sides. c. G.
