Europe 10 Deadly Conflict.
Parker Pillsbury, now living in retire
ment in q New Hampshire town,
is one Of the few survivors Of that heroic
band Of agitators who set the county on
fire with anti.slavery enthusiasm prior
to the war. Associated with him were
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips
and Theo. Parkev. Pillsbury alone SUR
wives, in honored old age.
The Review was, anxious to know how
q man like this felt upon the question,
now uppermost in the peoples mind.
Accordingly he was asked, if, in his
opinion, the United States was doing its
duty toword Cuba. He replied as fol-
lows:
1 In the first place am non resistant
in so far as alf war and all its prepara-
tions are concerned. lean have no hand
in even voting for any government Of
force or violence, or voting in it.
I know it is impossible but that Of
fenses will surely come. But I will try
hard never. to be even part or parcel Of
those ofenses, Of whatever kind or cha
racter they may be. u
One thing would seem to ne clear
the United States can have n, business
with Cuba, unasked. Should they
be consulted, the nature of the business
would determine the answer given. If
the answer led directly or indirectly to
war with Spain, OF any other power,
those states should he prepared to face
any one of those powers in deadly fight
that might array themselves on either
side in the dread encounter.
Nearly all the great European powers
are placing themselves in the strongest
possible. position for actual service, army
aud navy alike; and who can tell whether
Cuba may not be the spark that shall set
all the armed forces of Europe in deadly
encounter against each other2 It il. to
keep themselves from eac othe +
that they have been thus strengthening
and enlarging their military and naval
power, and all this without any possible
regard to the Mahometan or Christian
religions.

gregational church next Sunday evening.
The program will consist Of vocal and Vi
olin solos and papers to be read BY vari-
ous members and treating Of live topics.
