The CAMP FIRE.



This Is briefly the theory on which
the several European nations to-day
base their strength and maintain their
existing status. says the Banner Of
Light The successful example OF the
Piussian system In the war with Aus
iria in 1866. and again, rs applied TO
all Germany. in the war with France
In 1870. showed to Europe the i'm
mensc advantage OF such IA system in
time OF war over all others known or
tried. and the different nations lost no
time In following IL. The consequence
was continent in arms. converted
into military camp. every man u
soldier. and was regarded as the nor
NAL condition OF modern civilization.
Not only Is such spirit on the face
OF IL destructive OF the arts and at
tainments OF peace, but it checks the
progress OF industry and impoverishes
the entire people by its needless ex-
penditure and reckless waste.
The value OF the lesson taught is
simply in the fact that by resolutely
concentrating It's force a comparative
4
match for larger nation without
such concentration. But IL may well
be asked If such "A lesson is really
worth anywhere near what IL costs;
the cessation OF peaceful industry. the
heavy increase OF taxation, the rup-
ture OF social and domestic ties. and
their displacement by military rule
and a warlike spirit and the total
change OF the character OF nation by
turning its purposes and sentiments
into unnatural channels.
More than this, while the success

that so obvious fact would carry
with IL its own lesson There is no
thing that promises To bring SO purely
barbnrous "A system TO an end but the
impossibility of keeping il up indetin-
itely by taxation. The millions upon
millions that are wrung from pinched
and pauperized industry for the sup
port OF this costly system must some
day be refused because they can be
paid no longer. The Europeans ma
tions cannot stand the financial strain.
Even now Austria and Russia show
signs OF financial trouble. Germany
herself is warned by the recent vote OF

tenn that rests on peaceful industry

army will not be permitted 10 stop its

Mr.. Yank then ventured TO ask. III

The Confederate was not prepared
TO answer the question. but "A COME

passed of very rapidly. and with entire salts
faction. Five regular races with the Standard
stakes OWNED in two classes. making in all
seven races for the afternoon. The Standard
stakes were for tine purpose of giving to each
horse starting a record.
The event of the day was the Palo-Jack
match race for purse of 81, 600. The horses
went to the post with Palo Alto fayorite at
about 500 to $40 for Jack. In the first heat
they were given the word. with Palo Alto
neck in front. Rounding the first quarter
turn Jack went off his feet although
D0oie LS brought him right very quickly paio lo
overcome, Palo Alto won the heat by four
lengths.
In the second heat Palo Alto had the best Of
the start. Dimmy went to work. and before
the first quarter had been reached was leading
by three lengths. At the half was about the
same. Coming into the tbree-quarter turn
Do6le commenced to Ply the whip. and at
turiong from the wire Jack had reduced the
distance of Palo Alto to half length, but 90
yards from home Jack took to a run, and only
settled to his stride just before going under the
length.
In the third heat they were given the word.
with Palo Alto half length to the FORE As in
the second heat, Marvin sent Palo Alto along,
and was four lengths in front at the first quar-
ter. Atthe half 1t was three lengths. From
that point Doble began to drive, and at the
three-qnarter pole Jack had crept UP to within
a length and a half of the speedy stallion, and
going like the wind. Marvin thought this was
too close quarters SO far from home, and gave
his horse cluck, cutting the air with his whip.
The stallion responded and came away like a
rocket. At the furlong pole Doble saw it was
useless, and easing up on Jack he let Palo Alto
go under the wire a winner OF the heat and
