THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit of Property and Wealth the Main
Cause Thereof.

The war like temperament of man has
been one Of his most prominent character.
istcs from the earliest times To live to
fight has been the chief aim of most primitive
people and has been a leading occupation
of all civilized ones. Armies have grown
II size, weapons have multiplied in number
more and more deadly in action, while also
becoming more merciful in their accom-
paniments, but still it is everywhere APP
parent that, in spite of these aids to carnage,
the military spirit is on the decline,
May we not look for the cause of this in
the enormously increased cost OF warfare
and its interference with the pursuit of
prosperity and wealth? When the inter-
nal losses to people become greater than
those they can gain through conquest and
annexation, they will be very loath to enter
into great conflict. | an very far from
saying that many other causes, such as
ethics and growing spirit OF mercy, may
NOT nave contributed 10 tllls ptcliicdlloH vi
the nations, but is it not true that the cost
of war is the chief preventive of war? If so
does it not illustrate the rule that the reac-
tons set up by the vast technical improve
ment Of methods of destruction have reacted
on the primitive cause of the destruction
viz, the human willard hayd lessened the
cause by modifying the heart and brain of

To the Republican Members ii the Leg
islature OF the State Il Washington:
Deeply approaching the loyalty and
consistency ii the friends who have SUP
ported me for the high office OF United
States Senator. and rendering To- them
my heartfelt thanks tor this mark uf
confidence, Yet feeling that in the inter
ests oi the state and OF the party the.
contest over that election should not he

my name from Your consideration as Il
candidate for that office.
LEVI ANKENY.
Olympia, Wn., January 81, 1880.
This announcement fell with start
ling abruptness on all COZ rerned, and
none were more surprised than those
benefitted-the Wilson lnen. 1t re-
moved the only organized opposition
from their way, and the feeble attempt
made for stampede to Dunbar showed
the futili,y OF any attempt to rally
the forces that had been demora,ized
by the sudden withdrawal OF one oil
the strongest candidates.
After the 4lst vote had been cast, as
usual in Republican caucuses and con
ventions when some tin-soldier candi-
date vsnquishes his opponents, pande-
monium for time reigned. The mem
bers jumped on tables, screeched and
howled. 1t was fully ten minutes
that the Representatives hall resem-
bled lunstic asylum where all the
dangerous patients had broke loose.
Soon rs quiet was restored, speeches
were made and some OF the most vio-
lent OF Wilson's opposers we're the
most fulsome in his praise. Such are
some OF the strange anomalies of par
tisan strife.
Now that the vexed question is
settled, let us hope that the Legisla-
ture will get to work on the only
duties that should be incumbent upon
them-the enactment OF wholesome
laws for the benefit of the people.

gendercd 10y the Senatorial contest
will have its influence on all lcgisla-
ton, and We may expect to find many
who came to work in harmony for the
legislation the times demand, oppos-
ing really meri,oriou. measures FOX
that object simply because they are
introduced, or supported by men who
have aroused antagOnlsm through
their senseie>s advocacy OF some party
favorltc iur an office which has become
veritabie apple OF discord amid oar
lawmakers.
1t was hoped that the delegation
from this county, especially, would
keep out OF such demoralihing squad
BILE. Long before the Legislature met
our people resolved TO ask for nothing
more than that to which they felt
Justly entitled, re-appropriation OF the
amount from the land fund created by a
donation Of the general government for
construction Of a State Capitol, which
had lapsed from the dilatory tactics

The aspirations Of candidates for all
the minor offices found no encourage
ment from our best people, and every.
body who carried an ak in search OF q
public grindstOne was accorded the
privilege Of making his own search
for a crank to turn it. What was
their surprise, therefore, to observe
that their representatives had entered
the lists as champions for either oil
the tin-sworded knights who strut
for brief period before their admiring
Sanchos. The expressed determine
ton OF one of these gentlemen, that
he would eight it out on that line il
it took all winter" is not calculated
to enhance the realization of his am.
bition to pose as a statesman. Men
who pin their destiny upon the coat
tails OF any vest-pocket autocrat never
rise much higher than the hem of the
garment.
Our delegation had an opportunity
seldom accorded for manifesting a re-
spect for the opinions and preferences
of their colleagues all over the State
but they have shown themselves to be
"of the earth, earthly" and to belong
to that class of ward politicians, who
imagine, when entrusted with " lit
tie brief authority" that the fate o.
the whole nation depends upon the
supremacy of the little faction they
represent. If these gentlemen do moi
awaken from this delusion and take 6
glimpse of themselves IS others Gee
them, they will realize the truth o.
this assertion before they are many
weeks older.
Duty to the commonwealth is the
first obligation, and duty to party
should come afterwards. Men who
cannot discriminate between these obi
gations, are too small to fill represen
tative positions of any kind.
