1t may he the beginning of the most mo-
mentOus n beneficent movement Of mod

The overshadowing difficulty, Of course,
Is the fact that each country wants some
thing that can be obtained only by the
sword.-New York Journal.
1t is quite easy to understand why Rus
sin should be first to move in this direc-
ton. Russia has all the territory she
needs or wants. There is no good reason
why she should conquer more.--Kansas
City Journal.
The desire for universal peace is by no
means a new one, as it dates back even
beyond the Christian era, and great Sow

If the Gar is in earnesst-and the step
he has taken Is not one to be lightly adj
ventured without grave loss Of prestige
he can do much to accomplish the high
aim and humane object he has announced.

Not the least singular feature Of this
remarkable outgiving is that the first off,

suddenly heard pleading gravely, almost,
pathetically, for peace and for disarma-

It was to be expected that some sister
nation would take advantage of our duel
with Spain and pose as the successor Of
the United States in the advancement Of
peace on earth and good will among men;
but whoever looked for a move in that d.

other means Of settling differences can be
found than war. for which such costly
preparation must be made and maintained
by all MISUNDERSTANDING Ledger.
