RED-HANDED WAR.


No nation, more than an individual,
can find either profit or pleasures IN
seeking te revive or continue the smol-
dering, dying fires of enmity or hate
that in the past have famed in fury to
the destruction Of its peace and prop
erty and life. Especially is this true of
national difficulties, struggles and con-
ficts that are of the nature of family
discords. All angry strifes are to be
deprecated, but none more than where
brother goes to war with brother. Born
under the same roof, rocked in the same
cradle, nurtured by the same dear
mothers heart and hand, when fratri-
cidal strife begins there is. no strife so
destructive, no wounds so hard to heal;
and under these circumstances blessed
are the brothers who can unitedly bury
their past, forget the things which are
behind, and reach forth to better things
which are before; and cursed in person
and in public thought would be that
man who either for personal profit or
personal power would seek to engender
or. to perpetuate the strife. Born under
the same national flag, rocked in the
same cradle of constitutional liberty,
inheritorS of the same glorious national
history, educated in the same school of
thought, and partners in the renown of
statesmen, generals, philosophers, poets,
and ministers. When jealousy splits
aSunder people thus born and educat-
ed, and when red-handed war leads ma
tional brothers to face each other IN
deadly carnage, Of all war, destructive
to life, destructive to property, de-
structivc to morals, and destructive to
national existence, there is no war like
this and no battle-scarS more difficult to
heal or hide. Blessed is the nation that
in such 4 case can bury and forget those
things which are behind, and cursed IS
the party or the man that, for the sake
of power, would open the grave or
quicken the memory of the scenes
buried and forgotten.

THE MUSEUM SCHEME.

I have read that a proposition has
been made by an enterprising company
TO purchase and transfer from the city
of Richmond to the city of Chicago old
Libby Prison. and to transform it into
a museum, reviving heartrending
memories ofscenes enacted and suffered
within its historic walls during our
latest greatest, and most destructive
war. We may not call in question the
natriotism of the men who entertained

in Newberry was in our estab-

enterprise where power is to

engine no bigger than a stove!
