Is WAR ENDED7

A painting lately exhibited in Boston
represents harbor filled with lronclads
and is entitled "Peace''. The idea of the
painter seems to have been the same as
that expressed in recent address de-
livered at New York by Commander
Jewell of the navy, who contended that
no country can afford to 90 to war now,
when the machinery for destroying
human life is so plentiful and powerful.
The New York Sun, reviewing his
arguments, does not accept his con-
clusions, saying;
The enginery of war in Caesars time was
more destructive than it had been in CO.
liath's, and it was more destructive in
Napoleon's than in Caesars time, and
more so in Moltke's than in any previous
time. The invention of gunpowder in
creased the destructiveness of war, and
there are now forces more terrible even
than gunpOwder at our command. Yet
mankind have fought and nations have
cashed, reckless of consequences and
regardless of reason, ever since our bel
licOse race existed, ever since hostile
tribes or races began to strive for ascend
ancy over each other.
Each of these dlsputants is entitled to
his opinion, bu We believe the Suns is
the more sound.
1t seems as if there must be some one
who will sooner or later plunge his
country into war for the sake of seeing
how these modern appliances will work
when it comes to actual business. They
operate beautifully when on dress pa
rade. The big guns punch holes through
incredibly thick armor. the dynamite
guns throw carloads of dynamite and
other devilish compounds long distances
with fiendish accuracy, the torpedoes
plough their way under the surface OF
the sea and blow old hulks to flinders
with neatness and dispatch; but would
they perform like feats in real war:
That is a question which nobody can
answer, for most of them have never
been tried under conditions of actual
service. If some of us could know for a
fact that the much-vaunted torpedo
would inevitably send an ironclad with
which it came in contact to the bottom
and its crew Skipping skyward to glory
or the grave, we should feel better
about the situation, as we should coulC
there be the same assurance as to the
practical utility of the great guns anc

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Between 8 and 10 o'clock Friday night
Watchman Dickinson, while making his
rounds in the vicinity of the Smith e.
Piper mill, thought he smelled smoke.
He remained there till he perceived
flames in the paint room of the mill,
which is over the office. The alarm was
given, but before the firemen could get
there the men who happened to be In
the immediate locality had battered down
the door of the office, and, reaching the
scene of the fire, put it out. 1t was on
table. The firemen turned out prompt
ly and strung lines of hose from the two
hydrants in front of Park place.
Neither hydrant would open, however,
both being frozen. Luckily there was
no need of water from them, the fire
having already been extinguished by
water from the numerous barrels about
the shop. The fire evidently originated
spontaneously from oiled rags lying on
the table. A new hardwood floor had
just been laid in the office and was oiled
the day before. The probability is that
the rags used in the operation were left
upon the table, although the rules of the
shop require all such stuff to be burned
or thrown in the creek AS soon as it is
used.

the increase to reciprocity. 1t may be,

that all postmasters must give their

SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON THE
DAIRY BUSINESS.

DAIRY BUSINESS.
CORNWALL, W., March 2s, 1898.
Editor Of the Register IL find that the
letters on farming which have lately ap-
peared in your paper are read and dis
cussed with interest among the farmers,
so while the muddy season lasts and
farmers have time to read and write, we
hope they will continue to do so. In
your issue of March II we notice two
very different views of Addison county
farming. Now the question for the
practical man TO ask is, Which is right {?
Without attempting to answer this ques-
tion, the writer wishes to call attention
to one or two ideas advanced In these ar
ticles.
Your Addison correspondent, in es-
timating the income from an average
farm of $50 acres, says Produce from
s cows at $25 per head, 5000. This is
wrong, or ought to be wrong. A small
dairy like the above should pay $40 per
COW. Although, comparatively speak
ing, a young man myself, | speak from
experience, not theory. My seven cows
paid last year $40 each, after supplying
family with milk and butter. There is
no reason why the ordinary dairy of
or 8 cows should not do as WELL
Now, II the average COW does not pay
her owner over S25 (and some claim
they do not), we should set out to i'm
prove our herds at once. My theory
Is that a farmer should raise his own
cows. Let him test the milk from each
cow separately. But, you say, we have
no testing tubes. Very well, take COM
mon tumblers or goblets. At night
strain one full of each cows milk and
set in a cool place until sour; then from

ritory, at STEMS Pass. Then the robbers
took the train over into Arizona be-
fore they committed the robbery,
thinking, in their ignorance OF law,
that they had committed the crime IN
Arizona. In this case the law made
no difference. Bob Paul and a posse
followed them and none OF the
robbers we're tried in New Mexico,
they did not live long enough. This
robbery caused the passage OF the
hanging law 10 Arizona and since
then the Southern Pacific has been
free from train robberies In both ter
ritories. The train robbers are buffa-
losd and IL is net yet time to let up on
them. Until the breed dies out IL is
well to keep all that are in prison
where they are. The reason given for
the pardon Of Kit Joy, that he has
lost his leg, is a fimsy one. The
LIBERAL can assure the person who is
circulating the petition that the loss
OF a leg does not 10 the least lead to a
reformation OF the other leg and the
man above II. The Liberal speaks
from personal experience. Notwlth-
standing what may be said about the
matter the person who is getting up
this position viii probably get as
many signatures as possible and pre-
sent 1t to the governor. People who
get up petitions for the pardon OF
such men as Joy do so for one Of two
reasons. They are hired to do it as an
attorney, or they do IL from what
they imagine is a philanthropic feel
ing. II the first is the true reassn
they will finish their work for the pay
there is in 1t. If the second is the
reason they will continue their work
for there never grew a two year old
club big enough to beat imagined
philanthropy out Of a crank. So it
would be well for those who are
anxious to see justice done to make
an appeal direct to Governor Thorn
ton to deny this petition.

II may be remembered that the al.
ministratlon Of Governor Prince there
was never any trouble o scandal
about the p%ardonlng OF prisoners from
the penitentiary, except in the single
case OF Ada Humes. In that case the
governor acted on the advice OF sever
al physicians in Santa Fe, who said
that the fair Ada was sick even unto
death, that pardonlng her was but the
setting free of a woman who had but
a few weeks at most to live. The par
don was issued and the belle Of the
%penitentiary that very same night
went on a grand drunk and painted
the ancient town OF Santa Fe a glori-
GUS and glowing red. She has not
died yet. When the doctors were so
fooled by Ada it was not surprising
that the governor wee mlslead. In
other cases the governor would receive
n petition and before deciding the
matter would refer it to several per
sons on whom he could depend, living
in the county where the crime was
committed. This worked very well
and his administration was very free
from %pardoning scandals, which often
cast a shadow over otherwise good adj
ministrations. II Governor Thornton
should adopt the same plan there will
not be much danger of Kit joys par.
don.
