PEACE AND WAR.

The Quakers are pre-eminently the
Christian sect which stands for the
maintenance Of peace. 1t is a chief
characteristic of the sect If Christians
Of such humble mein can be said to
possess PRIDE then it would be right
to say that they pride themselves
on their love and advocacy of peace.
Peace, then, being chief characteris-
tic of the sects creed, and one in
which they have an especial pride, it
is only to be expected that whenever. a
war cloud appears above the horizon,
though it may be no bigger than
mans hand, that the Quakers will be-
gin to cry for peace, peace, however
remote the chances of war may be.
Under these circumstances it is not
to be wondered at that some movement
would be made by the Society of
Friends in behalf of peace in the midst
of all the war talk that has been going
on in America and Europe during the
last month or two. The opportunity
that has come to cry for peace as lus-
tily as others have demanded war was
an opportunity not to be lost. We were
not surprised, therefore, when the
peace cry came. We were rather sur
prised that it had been so long delayed.
The peace cry comes in the form of
a circular memorial of the representa-
tives of the religious Society of Friends
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Del
aware: and is addressed to the Presi-
dent of the United States and the SEN
ate and house of representative in
congress assembled, and protests
against what is called the implied
threat of war in President Cleveland's
message on the Venezuela question.
The memorial commends the Presi-
dent for his efforts to induce Great
Britain to refer the boundary dispute
between itself and Venezuela to arbi-
tration. but thinks our government is
likely to loose the firm ground thus
assumed in its peaceful Intervention
by holding out the menace of war
against one of them.
The menace" referred to is
that part of President Cleve-
the United States would resist
by every means in it's power. as wilful
aggression upon it's rights and inter
ests. the appropriation by Great Brl-
tain of any lands. etc. which, after
Investigation. we have determined Of
right belong to Venezuela" Against
this menace" the society Of friends
protest, and invoke the peaceful spirit
of the gospel.
Peace is a blessed thing; it may
well be regarded as one of heaven
best gifts to individuals and nations.
1t is a noble thing to strive for; and
that society which seeks to promote
it Is worthy Of all honor and praise.
But it must be remembered that we
live In a world where all things are
not yet made perfect, and for the most
part, national peace is maintained be-
cause a resort to force is always pos
sible Therefore in diplomatic inter-
course between nations. in the back
ground. over sensitive people may al
wavs see lurking in the shadows grim
visaged war with wrinkled front, ready
to spring forward and take part in the
proceedings; and however much we
may be inclined to deplore his presence.

force to the apparently mild language

DISMISSAL OF Public Lands.

Our legislators should see that there
is some provision in the law regulating
bona foe settlers who have sott.ed upon
and improved certain school sections, not
knowing them TO be school sections, and
to enable them to secure titles to these
lands at prices that are not exhorbitant.
In many cases these sections were settled
before the lands were surveyed and in
such cases the land should be appraised
as though it were nimproved.-Ephraim
