Mlll,.rx RuI. In Europe.

European civilization to-day is based
on the idea that war is not only an immi-
nent possibility, but probability; and
great class in every country has been
trained to look upon blood shedding as
its proper vocation. The great prizes are
reserved for soldiers; honor, fame, posi-
ton, and the monarch's favor 90 TO the
sons Of Mars. The military budget cx-
ceeds, many times over does il exceed,
the appropriations for public instruction.
The salary of colonel is earned by but few
professors The cost of the powder and
shot wasted in Europe between any
dawn and dusk would probably pay the
running expenses of all her public hos
pitals. In each government. whether
it be constitutional or autocratic, the army
may with truth be said TO direct legisla-
ton; for the legislatures, willingly or
unwillingly, vote the appropriation de-
manded by the war department. Even
II legislature dares TO question or pro-
test, it is quickly frightened into ac-
quiescing by an alarming report from the
minister of war. Thus the military class
controls government, and has laws
passed to suit itself, and prevents all at
tempts to cut down or to abolish its
power. 1t intimidates the State not less
really, though less openly, than the Pre-
torian Guard intimidated old Rome.
Kings and ministers do. indeed, assure
The public that they chiefly endeayor aud

breath they call for larger funds and
more recruits. Kaisers meet and kiss
each other on both cheeks; they extol
the sweetness Of brotherly love; they at
tend each others grand maneuvers; aud

their respective frontiers A strange
method this for testifyiug to their peace

And the woodlands re-echo with voices,
Proclaiming that summer is sweet.
Yes. sweet are the opulent Summer.
And statelier Autumn to come;
Royal Autumn In gold and in purple.
Tho all the gay song-tide be dumb;
But we know with a mournful provision
Mid the wealth and the glare and the heat
That the sweet OF the year has departed
Far, far upon vanishing feet.
Autumn fades into passionless Winter
Dead grasses and skeleton trees,
Dark mists and chill rains Of December.
Black snow-clouds and waters that freeze.
Yet through all the worlds ruin and sadness
Our hearts leap within us and sing.
Knowing hid in no distant Tomorrow
Once more a sure presage of spring.

LOckett, said that be had been having good

at next term Of court, on achsrge Of assault
and battery with intent to kill, on informa-
ton OF Joseph d. Sweiizsr, OF Upper Tur-

The particulars Of the assault on Sweitzer,
when LOckett chased him from his barn at
the point of revolver, and fred several
bullets into his body are still fresh in the
minds Of readers Of the HERALD.
When the case was presented to the grand
jury at February term, no witnesses appear
ing, that body returned not a true bill.
Judge Baer at once directed the jurors to re-
turn 10 their room and amend their finding,
but not until after be had read a sharp lect-

The grand jury did not report until May

Lockett The prisoner. however, failed to
appear and as his reoOgnizsnce had not

dropped until he should be taken into Gus

Il was sn unfortunate assault for all par

$50 Farmers Sued.

Two hundred and fry Westmoreland
county farmers have been sued before J US
tiee of the Peace for refusing 10 pay dues and
assessments TO the National Mutual Live
stock Company. Of Mount Union, Hunting
don county. A number Of the defendants
have appealed to court. and filed affidaEits.
Il is claimed in each case that the company
is trying to collect dues and assessments for
which the defendants are not liable. A
number charge other irregularities. The
president of the company denies all charges
of irregulariiy.
Justice Keener, OF Greensbure, says he re-
fused to take the cases because the company
wanted him 10 act as posecutor as well as
magistrate. Many persons, perhaps 1900,
have done business with the company here
abouts. One firm Of horne owners at New
Castle, Lawrence county. which had insured
with the National Mutual, appealed to court
from a decision and was compelled 10 pay
the assessments. The contract was the prin-
cipal evidence before the court.
