CONCERNING O

In a communication published in an
other column a bloodthirsty correspond
ent gives to the world some breezy and
peculiar views on the subject of war and
peace. The main text of his argument
is the old and WORKOUT atom notion
q set of superior microbes preying on a
set Of inferior microbes, gobbling them
VI, and in turn being devoured by a still
higher organism, and so on, with a few
Darwlnlan theories and red rag procla-
nations thrown in. He proves to his own
satisfaction, by the text of Holy Writ,
that Christ was an advocate of war, and
makes the following announcement:
1.-THE finest record Of nations has ever
been written in blood, and every upward
step, every forward movement, every
great epoch in the worlds history and
every advance that has been made toward
national greatness and renown, has been
made IN the blood-stained battlehelds
over the bodies Of the myrlads slain"
II there were contained In this COM
munication a grain of common sense
(Which there is not), the amount OF gore
and dime-novel anarchy poured over 1t
would be quite sufficient to drown 1t out.
Such vapid nonsense as this insults and
debases the very thought of patriotism
which the writer in his concluding para
graph pretends to invoke,

Lord Salisbury should be informed that
in leveling William Watson and Lewis
Morris at a friendly nation he is APP
preaching dangerously near an act of
war. Indeed, he may be violating the
Geneva convention. There is something
in that document about cruel and bar
barous methods of warfare. It is
too early to talk about reprisals,
but no n can tell the length
to which desperation may drive a
people. We warn the English govern
ment that, although it may have four
battleships to our one, we have as many
bad poets as n nation In the world.
And we are prepared to use them, too.

FOR COAST


1t is wise to derive as much profit as
possible from painful experiences, and one
recompehse for present anxiety and pos
sible future complications will appear II
congress shall be induced by the sugges-
tons of the Venezuelan controversy to
make . liberal appropriation for coast
defense. Very few persons in this
try really expect a war with England or
any other nation, but q multitude of citi-
zens must have been led to reflect on the
idefenseless condition OF our ports by the
events of the last two weeks. Hitherto
public opinion has never demanded that
they be made secure with sufficient force
to compel suitable action by congress. We
do not believe that this Indispensable
work will be neglected much longer.
The prompt provision of as much money
as can be well employed for this purpose
during the coming year and a beginning
Of energetic operations would not arouse
any needless excitement or convey any
false impression; for every intelligent
at home and abroad, would COM
prehend how long and slow a job had
been undertaken. 1t has hitherto seemed
Impossible to produce a general ~realiza-
ton Of the necessity of the work begun
nine years ago, and comparatively little
progress has been made, more particu-
arly on this Coast. The task ought,
now on, to be prosecuted Loyalty,
'ealously and steadily. It's completion
would be a substantial guarantee not only
If safety but of permanent peace.

1t now appears from the reluctant adj
mission of Ex-Governor John M. Thaycr,
of Nebraska, that his personal guaranty
of General Grants trustworthiness saved
that general to the nation at a time when
President Lincoln was in great doubt as
to whether he ought not to remove him
and appoint some other commander in his
stead. In reading General Thayer's con-
tributlons to the history of the war,
praised so highly in the o%regonian, we
have wondered occasionally If 1t would
ever have been possible to bring that
conflict to a successful close If he had not
been right on hand all the time.

bring the nations carer to each other.

common Christianity gather In thought

Sound over all waters, reach out from all
lands
The chorus of voices, the clasping of
hands;
Sing hymns that were sung by the stars
of the morn,
Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was
born.
With glad jubilations
Bring hope to the nations!
The dark night is ending and dawn has
begun;
Rise, hope of the age, arise like the sun,
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat
as one.
Sing the bridal of nations with chorals OF
love,
Sing out the war %vulture and sing In the
dove,
Till the hearts OF the people keep time in
accord,
And the voice of the world is the voice
of the Lord!
Clasp hands Of the nations
In strong congratulations;
The dark night is ending and dawn has
begun;
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,
speech flow to music, all hearts beat
as me-.
Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of
peace,
East, West, North and South let the
long quarrels cease!
Sing the song Of great joy that the an
gels began;
Sing of glory to God and good will to
man.
Hark! joining in chorus
The heavens bend DER us;
The dark night is ending and day has
begun;
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat
