"e are getting SO far away from
memories OF our own civil war that
janIany have forgotten-and many more
4 fwere born too late to learn-how great
the temptation any prospect of war
hoios out 70 the spectators and sharks
Vi whose vocation is to fatten, like vul-
4 lures, upon the life blood OF better men.
N Ihey have forgotten the sleek substitute
4 proSer, the most rapacious and CON
'cienceless spider oil war times, whose
business IS 10 lure human flies into his
nee, NIL them up with bad whisky, sell
them to his patrons for s 900 TO 81 500
per head, pocket one-half or more of
tnat sum as his share of the plumber
ana set ms harpies, male and female,
upon the game to drain the befuddled
Vcums Oh the rest. They have forgot
ten the professional bounty jumper,
VINO IS, after all, more of man
than the substitute broker, since he
wagers his life against his theft they
nave forgotten the contractors who
!, nnttsucK the government and the soldiers,
partirough the connlvance OF inspectors,
width paper-soled shoes and shoddy
n I n lankets; they have forgotten, in short,
III dhe sickening debauchery and the re-
q morseless spirit OF plumber which state
i, OF war breeds; or else they have imbibed
\ the idea that a conflict with three mil
lions OF Chilians, thousands of miles
Z, away and domiciled in a country with
hundreds OF miles of sea coast and
A divided longitudinally by range OF
: almost impossible mountains, would be
tritling and short-lived affair. Yet the
same number of American colonists,
without modern facilities for the con-
centration of their forces, successfully
wlthstood for eight years all the power
that Great Britain could bring to beai
against them.
But war is fortunately not at ali
probable. As the New York Tribune
