ARBITRATION AND WAR.

Admiral Luce of the United States
Navy, points out in a recent able essay,
that arbitration is not always possible or
desirable, as the Peace Society insists.
There are times when it is wicked to be
unprepared, he declares, and that this is
truth no one except peace radicals will
deny. For instance, the mere presence
of United States forces on our southwest
border in 1865, and the evident ability
and determination of this country to
throw large body of armed men into
Mexico, caused the collapse of Louis
Napoleon's scheme to fasten the Maxi
milan monarchy upon our sister State.
The great mass of thinking people to-
day favor the arbitration to the war
tional disputes, but that does not mean
total dissipation by nations of their mill
tary forces. For certainly there are occa-
sions when the necessary delays of arbi-
tration would work immeasurable harm
to the right cause, whereas readiness to
defend or assault will often prevent the
doing or the continuance of the wrong.
The maintenance of armies, the cult
walton of the martial spirit, the equip
ping of the militia-these do not mean
desire for or anticipation of war, as the
Peace Congress claims. But they do mean
and they so notify all nations that tres
pass, assault and insult will be resisted
and resented, and hence they tend to pre-
vent these wrongs. In fact, preparation
is powerful incentive to arbitration.
Admiral Luce goes beyond our state
ment, however, and holds that there are
cases aside from those cited where arbi-
tration is wholly out of the question, and
war an absolute necessity and the only
possible resort, and he cites the home
troubles of 1S6O-61 as in point But the
rebellion falls within category of ma
tional trials of a wholly different order
Domestic difficulty of that kind is in re-
sistance of the law, and armed force in
voked to maintain the latter and put
down the former is not the character of war
fer which the friends of arbitration have
claimed that the latter is preventive or
panacea. Again, the right of people to
rise and by force change the form of
their government is not within the strict
lines of the policy of arbitration, and
there never has been preferred any claim
thatit may in all such cases be applied. The
peace fanatics may preach arbitration and
total disarmament for all time. but they
can never be realized until human nature
ceases wholly to be what it is.

RUSSIA AND REBELLION.

There is talk in the press of possible
rebellion in Russia, due to the distress
occasioned by the famine, and that hence
Russia's only recourse is to engage in a
foreign war to divert the attention of the
people. This view is taken by Mr. Alb
bott, an American who has recently tray
eled extensively in Russia, and prints
his thoughts in an Eastern journal.
1t is possible. certainly, that the Mill
lists of Russia may seize the present op-
portunity to stir up revolt. But the Rus
slams are not rebellious people. They
have proved in the past, despite all pro-
vocations, the most loyal of subjects
Their disposition, education and facilities
for arming are all against the likelihood
of any rising that could be dignifed into
rebellion. They lack the great essential
of q people likely to rise in arms-unity
of race and purpose. The tribes of peo-
pies under the rule of the Imperial Gov
ernment are diverse and widely sepa-

sort of sympathy of interest, and they
have very meager means and opportuni-
ties of communication. The press, tele.
graph, mails and all other avenues for
the exchange of views are absolutely un-
der the control of the Cars Government,
and it is next to impossible for the people
to come together in communication.
No rebellion in Russia will have the
slightest hope of success that is not wide
spread and uniform in action, and that is
not marked by risings simultaneous in
the matter of time. If therefore the fear
of revolution is to be the moving cause
to drive the Car into a war with some OF
the Powers, it is not probable that war
will result in the very early future. II
Russia engages in battle, it will be for
other reasons than fear of formidable
risings of the peasants and the middle
classes.
1t may be that war would serve to dis
tract attention from domestic distress,
and to engage vast number in arms now
said to be starving, and that Russia might

THERE is to be another opportunity Of

ply of clear water in the deep gravel
stratas beneath the valley soil. AS eating

1t does not affect the United States di-
rectly, for this country was excepted
from the operations of the Act. But the
triumph of the Canadians will not tend
to soften the hard relations between New
foundland and Canada. The east province
will be very sore over this decision and
will claim to have new cause for com
plant against the mother country. These
things all tend to stiffen the party in
Newfoundland which fosters the separa-
ton scheme, and that would erect New
foundland into an independent State.

Now that the Republican effort to Sc
cure the session in California of Ma
tional political convention has failed,
Democratic organs are urging their local
party men to strive to secure the Ma
tional Democratic Convention for this
State. We have already expressed the
thought that the striving represented by
the policy of the committee which re-
Gently went on to Washington is injurious
to the State, because it reflects venal in
stincts, is both dishonest and unrepre-
sentative of our people, and tends to
bring California into contempt among
self-respeeting men. If the Democrats
pursue the National Committee OF their
party in the interest referred to, in the
name of common decency let them avoid
the vicious example set by the Republi-
can solicitation committee, and advance
only those reasons for their desire that
are broad, national and wise. If there is
a repetition of the catch-penny and brib-
cry policy, California will merit the con-
tempt it will surely win.

THERE are rumors in the air that in
deed are almost as definite as facts, of re-
cent discoveries in electrical science that
promise a complete revolution in that
realm, and that will reverse one of the
best established laws of mechanics.
These discoveries relate mainly to the
storage, with economy, of electrical en-
ergy. Such economy, indeed, is prom
ised that with but the output of a
trif1ing amount of original force there
viii result power 10,o00-fold greater
While inclined to doubt this extravagant
forecast, yet such is the depth and breadth
of the unknown in electrical science; so
limited are our perceptions Of the true
character of electricity and its capacity,
that the world is well nigh prepared to
accept any prophetic utterance concern
ing promised revelations.

DO WE LOVE MONEY

The popular belief is that as a people
we are not merely money -getters, but
money-lovers. Junius Henri Brown, in
the North american ReUieaO, combats this
idea, and insists that we do not love
money. What we do love, he says, is to
gain it that we may spend to increase our
comforts-that is to say, if we loved
money in the sense of usual acceptation
we would guard it zealously; add to it
with watchfulness and toll and pains, and
strike furiously at him who would aim
to deprive us of the least portion-in
short, love money for its own sake. Mr..
Browns distinction between the love of
the thing tor itself, and for what it will
effect, is very finely drawn. Still, there is
an element of truth in his position, for we
are not miserly people, we do not hoard
as is the custom among some peoples, nor
position or the boarding habit. On the
contrary we make money serve US, earn
it constantly and make it a servitor. AS
Mr.. Brown puts it:
Foreigners, when they come to our shores,
are apt to relinquish the custom of boarding
for hberality is in the air. They cease to be
anxious to augment what is to be had on
every hand, what is accounted of minor i'm
pOrtance. native miser Of the true breed is
seldom heard of. is almost contradiction in
terms. MiSerS here, when discoverable, are
found to be of alien blood, and governed by
transatlantic influences. Americans some
of them, unquestionably love to make money.
They enjoy the excitement of pursuit the
frequent difficulty of its procurement in vast
amounts, the pleasure of management, manip-
ulation, and successful outcome. They relish
the game rather than its stakes, the power
they exercise rather than the possession. But
they are scarcely representative. They are,
as q rule, the born mOney-makerS, exceptional
everywhere. They have genius for their to-
cation, which is irrepressibIe, and is strength
ened by indulgence. 1t is perfectly natural
that they should obey their instincts; follow
the bent of their minds, the drift of their be-
ing. Even without offered prizes, they would
catch the scent and run with the hounds. 1t
is in their blood, and in harmony with their
temperament. But this disposition hardly
springs from love of money-very different
from a love of making it. After money has
been acquired, to whatever extent, it does not
satisfy these fortune-chasers, who continue
the chase for the sake of the chase. 1t is of
these that we are always hearing. Their per-
formances are rehearSed and repeated in hy-
periodic phrase, orally and in print until
they appear to be a direct outgrowth of the
country and examples of its mercenariness.
