metallic iron will purify 100000
gallons of water. The water thus

War OutgroWn.

The great and fatal argument
against war is that 1t does not pan.
There was time when the force of
this plea was not generally recog-
nized. The medieval spirit, with
its chivalry and love of glory, sur
vived long after the bodies of the old
barons had turned to dust and their
swords to rust. Passions were fierce,
traditions strong, popular rights in
embryonic feebleness. The hope of
conquest, the quarrels of dynasties,
religious differences, all tended to
obscure the dawn of the coming era
the era of common sense, which
balances the good and the bad of
any given course and adopts the
more expedient. Did not Louis
Napolean, when Emperor of the
French, once boastfully proclaim
that the French nation was the only
one that would 90 to war for an idea?
Perhaps he was right. Alas, many
thousand lives, many millions in
money, a mutilated territory, and
national pride most bitterly hum.
bled, eloquently attest that the mi
trailleuse and the chassepot may
not be safely trusted to disseminate
ideas, however noble and however
useful to mankind. But the Anglo
Saxon race prefers to express its
preference and to make converts in
other ways. 1t is now in the as
cending period. It's influence upon
the world is vast and growing. The
United States is the leading nation
of hemisphere, and bids fair in a
brief period to be the first of the
civilized world in population and
general prosperity. We have all the
territory that we require, so that
wars Of conquest hold out no temp.
tation. Our government is so free
that revolution would border ON the
ridiculous. So far as we may now
foresee, there is no reason to appre
bend such aggression from other
nations as to make armed resistance
imperative. The people of these
States have proved their ability on
too many battle-felds to make thei1
prudence suspicious. On the same
principle that a tried duellist may
refuse to fight because he has showr
his metle, sword ID hand, nations
with honorable records of brave
deeds may be slow to wrath.-FIon
