danger to the business or morals Of

| We repeat what the editor of the

nation Of prize fighting, but was like
wise condemnation Of the civiliza-
ton that has obtained in christian
governments which thinks it necessary
to maintain standing armies for the
butchery OF neighboring nations, and
that welt the earth with the bitter
tears of weeping mothers, widows and
orphans for the blood of their slain.

1t is matter of surprise to us how
one who writes 81 huently and prettily

so unsoundly. If he was as familiar
