PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

There is such rapidly growing senti-
ment in favor of doing away with war as
method of settling disputes between ma
tions that 1t is interesting 10 sum up some
of the reasons why this wish may hope
for fultllment. and not be set down as q
mere dream too bright for realization.
Theodore s. Woolsey, in an article on
Greece and Turkey in the Forum, incident
ally quotes some remarks from an essay
by T. J. Lawrence on the Concert of
Europe" Lawrence de rives this concert
from the com mbination OF states to over
come Napoleon and says, ats growth has
been natural; its existence may, therefore,
be prolonged, If not permanent, and its
object is peace" Mr.. Lawrence, Woolsey
tells US, even finds in it the possible germ
OF high court of appeal, and argues that
the old doctrine OF the equality of states
must yield, and in fact has yielded, to
the right of superintendence lodged in the
hands OF the six great powers. This is
clearly prose way of stating Tennyson's 8
poetic dream OF q coming "Parliament OF
man-the Federation of the world"
Woolsey things we need not go 10 such
lengths as this-we may believe the Eu-
ropean concert is governed by selfishness,
distrust and fear, as well as by the spirit
of peace and good W Ill to men. But still
the fact remains that the balance Of power
problem has dominated the century. We
nose this influence in the late Greco
Turkish war. The great powers called a
halt ss soon as the contest threatened TO be
destructive, and at their shake Of the head
the Balkan peoples refrained from max
ing the war a vast and bloody one.
Other reasons for hoping for peace are
to be found in the influential opinions
brought out by the recent discussion of
the Venezuela dispute and the desirability
of arbitration in all disputes between Eng
land and America. In speech delivered to
the Epworth League in Toronto tho Hon.
A. S. Hardy, Premier and Attorney Gen.
eral of Ontario, speaking of how the sud-
den flashing up OF a warlike spirit between
the two great Anglo Saxon nations al
ways subsidized upon sober second thought
as quickly as it had been aroused, used
these words: There could be no war be-
tween these two foremost Christian ma
tions OF the earth. The moral forces of
the two countries would, in the last resort,
prove too strong for war;" Almost the
same words were used by the British his
torian, Justin Mccarthy. in the recently
published volume of his History of Our
Own Times" Similar sentiments have
been repeatedly expressed by prominent
men on both sides of the Atlantic.
Another reason for the maintenance
of peace is the oft-mentioned one of
the ever-increasing perfection of deadly
weapons promising soon to make war
so mutually destructive as to be equiva-
lent TO suicide, which would con-
vince the nations of the absurdity of ap-
peaIing to force. There exists also a pow
erful influence for permanent peace in the
wide-spreading ramitications of commerce
The more valuable these commercial and
industrial interests become the more po-
tent will be the restraints upon warlike
feelings.

Tt is not generally known that Gen
eral Washington was killed in a most
cruel and barbarous manner, but it is.
nevertheless a fact.
At the time of his death, Washington
was in his 68th year, a strong, robust
man. On December y, 1893, he con-
tracted a severe cold and pneumonia
threatened. Two doctors were sum-
mOned, and, in accordance with the
absurd custom of those days, they
proceeded to bleed their patient. Near
ly a quart of blood was taken from his
veins, until at last he begged them to
let him die in peace. He died that same
day-not from disease, but actually
from loss of blood. He was killed by
ignorancei
In these days any doctor who treat
ed a patient as Washington was treat
ed, would be indicted for manslaugh-
ter. The world was moved since then,
and there has been a complete reVOlu-
ton in the practice of medicine. In
stead of lowering the vital forces by
thinning the blood, advanced physi-
clans now endeavor to build up the
strength of their patients. They employ
only the latest and most scientific rem
edies.

SCHOOL SHOES THAT WILL WEAR, FURMAN'S
RABBITS TOO PLENTY.
Kansas City Markets overstocked-
Many Given Away.

Kansas City Dec. 10.-Some of them
were not thin enough, though, to dodge
a load of shot, and one of the most
striking sights about the Market house
and North Walnut street the past few
days has been hundreds and hundreds
of rabbits piled on the pavement, in
the commission houses, and over and
under and in every available place that
would accommodate them.
"MOllie Cotton Tails in every de-
gree of age and size have grown to be
a drug on the market within the week,
but still they come from Kansas, with,
the commission men say, no sign of di-
minishing in numbers.
1t is impossible to estimate just how
many have been consigned to dealers
since the cold wave, but there might
be anywhere from 500 dozen to 700
dozen a day, of which a good portion
are consumed in this city.
Mr.. Lee Bowers. dealer in poultry
and game, said last night that he alone
had handled as many as 100 dozen
nearly every day for a week.
Warm weather is death to the rabbit
market; as, indeed, it is to that of any
game. From 81 a dozen during the cold
weather, the price has fallen off to
about 80 cents, and in many cases where
a sale must be made or the stock allow
ed to spoil, they are disposed of for
whatever they will bring. And here
did they but realize it, is the poor
folks opportunity.
Mr.. Bowers, in cOnversing on the
subject, remarked that he sometimes
on his hands that he would gladly give
away to poor people, and did not doubt
that every commission man in town
would do the same.
