PEACE SOCIETIES.

The Connecticut Peace Society is holding its
annual meeting at New-LOndOn, and the attend
ance is significantly large. The main purpose
of this and all similar associations is to main
tain a standing protest against war. Hitherto
the efforts Of all peace societies have been SO
conspicuously futile that they have been held
up to popular deIision. 1t is said, and with
undeniable support from the tendencies of the
age, that the abolition of war is an idle dream,
that civilization cannot be carried on without
it, and many other plausible considerations are
advanced; and certainly the history of the
nineteenth century does not contain much to
encourage those who wish to see war put an
end to. With material progress, with the
spread of education, with the elevation of the
masses, the belligerent tendency has not
declined. On the contrary, the preparations
for war throughout Europe have never been 80
extensive and formidable as they are now and
the consequences of modern war are much more
serious than at any former period, while there
Is little ground for the belief ip the growth of
an appreciable opinion against war.
Notwithstanding all this, peace societies are
in the right, and their persistence and courage
deserve recognition and approval. 1t cannot
be questioned for moment that they represent
the best and highest sentiment of the human
family. 1t may be quite true that mankind
has not reached u point at which the abolition
of war is thinkable, much less practicable, but
il ever that point is to be attained the upward
movement will be brought about by the agita-
ton which these organizations are formed to
institute and maintain. All thinkers agree that
before the world con get the best that Is
possible out of life reforms mast be effected
which will clear away the mischief Of inter
national pride, vaingloriousness and greed OF
dynastlc ambition. and of the other influences

which fails wholly to eliminate the ape anu

progress of the best kind. But men are SO
nrone TO walk in ruts that even after their eyes
are opened long time is required to induce
them 70 change their direction, and unless they
are constantly appealed to and argued with
and stimulated they will relapse indolently into
familiar abuses.
Peace societies cannot probably In this stage
of civilization do much more than keep the
subject they have at heart in agitation. But In
doing that they are accomplishing a necessary
and useful work, and though we cannot soc H.
the fruition of their hopes may be nearer than
it seems to day. Thirty years ago there were
not many people who looked for any practical
outcome for Abolitionism In the eyes OF even
such as sympathized with their object, the
active Abolitionists were then generally
regarded "a impractical. Yet in the life of a
single generation 30 immense an advance has
been made that 1t is difficult to-day to realize
that slavery ever fourished with the consent
and approval of the Nation. The abolition oil

than that of slavery, and 1t does not appear Mt

~ Christianity Is really the. religion OF tho
highest races, and il they ever mean to en-
deavor TO live up 10 it, it Is obvious that war
must be condemned totally in theory, and that
a time must be looked forward to when
practice can be harmonized with precept. The
peace societies meantime are facilitating the
advent of that day to the best of their ability
by educating the public conscience That must
always be the beginning of real and permanent
reform, and our friends who are now in

PROHIBITION AT THE SOUTH.

The liquor dealers of Mississippi are organic
ing to resist the spread of prohibition by means
of comfy action and legislation empowering
the counties to prohibit the liquor traffic.
This is the favorite method at the South Of
securing restriction, and it has spread widely
and with great rapidity. In some States al
ready much moro than half the conn'les have
prohibited the sale or use of Intoxicating
liquors, being empowered to do so at the desire
of majority of the people under State laws.
The spread of this movement is likely to cause
some disturbance of political forces. The
liquor dealers threaten to defeat any candidate
who favors prohibition, and other persons are
likely to retallate, and to defeat the candidates
whom the liquor interest favors.
But Mississippi is Southern State. The
question is not whether the people want pro-
hibition or free liquor. The question is which
interest holds control of the ballot-boxes.
Questions of public policy are decided there,
not BIZ votes as here, but by mobs and by false
counting. AS Mr.. Weaver, the Greenback
apostle, discovered some years ago, 50 the Pro-
hibitionists will discover, that behind all other
questions and higher than all others. and neces-
sary to be settled before any other can be
settled. Is the question whether the Will of the
people shall DO freely expressed and honestly
