Efect of a war in Europe.

Effect of a War in Europe.
It would be heathenish to rejoice
at the prospect of war in Europe
simply because such a conflict would
probably benefit the United States
financially, but if war must come our
people may be pardoned for being
thankful that the great misfortune
will not be without its attending bene.
fits.
General Sherman. who under,
stands the geographical advantages
of each of the powers and their arna-
ments as well as, and perhaps bet
ter than any man in America, ex-
presses the opinion that the threat
ened conflict will be one of the
bloodiest in the history of the world,
and will extend beyond the two
great powers that begin the work
until all Europe is more or less in
volved.
The impending conflict can affect
America only in commercial sense.
We have no interests at stake in the
settlement of the Eastern question,
and no alliance with any power
likely to be engaged in or embar-
rassed by the war. A great war will
unsettle Europe, but the underlying
questions possess little significance
to nation situated and constituted
as is the United States. We are
not embarrassed by tradition or pol
icy, we have no ambition in that
direction to crafty; we have no
punish. We stand in a friendly re-
lation to every nation that will be
engaged, and circumstances can
hardly occur that will embroil this
country in the difficulty. While war
will paralyze the industries of na-
tions at war, it will stimulate the in
dustries of nations at peace, and
most benefit those nations which by
situation and condition, can act in
dependently. In this respect the
United States is mostly fortunately
situated. The effect of war must be
to stimulate commercial and indns-
trial activity, and this country will
be the source of supply to which all
the contending powers can turn. We
produce and manufacture not only
what armies need, but what people
need at home. Our recent expert
ence in organizing to meet the great
crisis of civil war will enable US to
meet promptly any demand now
made upon US. The demand will
come naturally. and our facilities in
meeting it, and our ability to do so
satisfactorily, will hold it. What
we learned to do so we'll for our
selves we can do for others. But
where there were then few hands to
work on our farms or in our manu-
factories, now there are many. The
result must be activity in every de-
partment, and to this will succeed
naturally regular trade opened by
the exigencies of the hour. The
great commercial current, turned
once toward America, will for many
years move along the old channels,
and the commercial relations estab-
lished under notifications of laws
inviting trade will prove profitable
and be of lasting beneft.-Chicdgo

Packard's Farewell Address.

New ORLEANS, April 25. - The
State House was found IN possession
of one metropolitan policeman this
morning. The Nichols took un0p-
posed poss ession.
Packard closes an address to the
Republicans Of Louisiana, as fol-
lows: 81, therefore, announce to
you that I am compelled 10 abstain.
for the present, from all active as
sertion of my government. | waive
none of my legal rights, but yield
only to superior force. l am not
wholly discouraged by the fact that
one by one the Republican State
Governments of the South have
been forced to succumb to force, or
fraud, or policy. Louisiana, the first
State rehabllitated after the war, is
the last State whose Government
thus falls, aud believe it will be
among the first to raise itself again to
the plane of equal and honest re-
presentation. / advise that YOU
maintain your party organization
and continue to battle for the rights
OF citizenship and free government.
We strive for these and not for man
or men, Il grieves me, beyond ex.
preston, that the heroic efforts YOU
have undergone to maintain Repub-
lican principles in Louisiana, have
had this bitter ending. To those
who have 81 gallantly stood by me,
in the long contest we have passed
through, l tender my heartfelt
thanks. To all l counsel peace. pa
tience, foriitude and a firm trust
that eventually right and justice will
prevail.

INVISIBLE POWER AGAIN.

Moss Cohen returned from Philadelphia,
and there was a "council of safety" con-
yened. The two gold lockets were laid
side by side; and there was no mark TO dis
tinguish one from the other but bullet
mark. Moss Cohen rubbed his black head
and pulled his black beard; but no light
came from either. So the old Hebrew sat
quiet for many minutes rubbing his bearded
chin with thumb and fingers, and trying an
occasional hair-pull, until, at last, he gave
up manipulation, and with wise look,

Saul Macy said nothing, but looked to-

"Well, the best way viii be to ask Mrs.

Susie-"back to revolutionary daysn

But it did not content her husband, who
recurred to the subject, in more chats with
Cohen under cigar smoke. Saul Macy be-.
