WARRINGTON IN SUMMER.

There is nothing more absurd than the
remark so frequently heard in Washington
with each recurring summer season: EVERY
compared with the population Of other cities,
very few OF the permanent residents Of WASH
ington leave town during the warm months.
This is due in great measure, no doubt. to
the fact that the delightful rural environments
Of the National Capital furnish more and
varied relief from the heat of the city and are
more attractive than can possibly be the case
at any one summer resort; that recreation
and relaxation which people crave in summer
can be had to an unlimited extent on river
banks and in sylvan hooks within easy reach
Of the city and at almost no expense at all.
TIE permanent residents of Washington know
and appreciate these facts and, therefore, it
is not they who figure in tho seasons exodus.
Those who leave Washington when the dog
star rules compose but a small fraction Of its
whole population. They are its winter resi-
dents, and they are probably less than per
cent. Of the total. Their absence affects the
general business life OF the city but little, for

every business community. 1--WE have with us
always" 1t is their earnings that pass most
promptly and most regularly into circulation
and are the bone and sinew of the tradesmen's
accounts.
True, there may be somewhat of dullness
in what passes under the somewhat latitud-
inous designation Of society. There may not
be quite as many routs, balls, dinners, at
homes, or pink and yellow teas, but there is
ample compensation for all that in the numer-
Gus excursions and picnics, whereby the river
resorts and the beautiful woods along Rock
Creek are made to resound with music and
the harmony Of mirth and jollity. Washing
ton retains its permanent population more
complete in summer than does any Of its sis
tiers.
We are all here.

THEY LET IT ALONE.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TOOK
NO ACTION
In Regard to the New Road Law That Was
Recommended by the Grand Jury.
Other County Matters.

Other County Matters.
At The regular July meeting of the
board of county commissioners the
recommendations of the recent grand
Jury were discussed, but no steps were
taken to put any of them into effect soon.
Among the several recommendations
of the grand jury that one putting the
new road law in force in the county has
attracted the most attention from the
public, and discussion of it consumed
a good deal of the time of the commits
sioners while they were celebrating on
Tuesday.
The commissioners are of the opinion
that taxes are already too high, and
for this and other reasons they think 1T
unwise for the law to be enforced just
at this time, and are not disposed to do
anything towards putting it in operation.
They took no action before adjourning,
deciding to let it entirely alone until a
full meeting of the board can be had.
This will probably be several months, as
Hon. S. R. Christie, a member of the
body, is spending the summer in Colo

residents near the proposed site object
to its being built there. The commits
sioners want to be certain that, after going
to the expense of starting the work, they
will not be enjoined from completing it
by some citizen who might object to its
being built in that locality.

AN Europe Under Arms.

After the dreadful Franco-German
war of 1ST0-1S71 the principle of pro-
longcd military service and of dimin-
lshed annual contingents was given up.
The monstrous principle of universal
service was adopted instead. BY this
principle the whole nation is under
arms. A country is no longer coun-
try, a people is no longer a people; n
nation is now nothing but an army,
and a country is only barraclz. Every
body wears the uniform. Every body
is sur le Qlti rire. If war breaks out to-
day all professions become deserted,
all functions abandoned; the life of the
nation stops SO that national activity
may be said to begin again only with
the blood that is shed. Moreover, be-
fore two hostile armies. that is, two
nations which are enemies, join in
combat, each of the two armies, that
is, each of the two infinite hordes
which traverse their several countries
to meet eventually on the field of bat
ele, will leave behind it country in
famine, it's factories silent, and its
trade paralyzed. Again, enormous
stocks of food supplies must be accum-
ulated on the frontiers where the two
armies are likely to meet; but before
reaching these inexhaustible maya
zines the armies must be fed while
crossing their own territories, and that
requires money. So, that, before even
the first gun is fired, each army will
have expended enormous sums and left
in it's train towns and villages stripped
of men and beasts, the cities in famine
the country without single tiller il
