But, though all the nations of the earth
should join in the peace alliance, that al
nance VIII last just as long as selfish inter-
ests DO not clash and no longer. There will
De no permanent peace so long as one nation

The canteen question appears to resolve It
self into this:- In order to keep the soldiers
from 1ndulging in whisky, brandy and all
other forms of spirituous liquors. should the
United States government establish these
canteen sources of supply for the milder
liquors, such as beer and ale? Notwithstand-
ing what our friends the Prohibitiontsts may
say, We consider these canteens, conducted
with caution and moderation, to be ali advan-
tage to the regular soldiers and indirectly to
the people. Extirpate them and the ap-
proaches to all our military works will be
nanked by rum-selling of the most odlous
character. We believe this is the experience
of officers of the army who have watched
the canteen system and do not carry prohi-
bition bug in their ear.-Pittsburg Post.
Maj. Mckinley ought to get rid of his

Why, oh why, was it that Gen. Miles chose
a Kansas City newspaper as the medium of
his attack on the war department? The New
York yellow journals must weep and gnash
their teeth.-Boston Traveller.

Within a radius Of twenty miles of St.
Paul and Minneapolis dairy farming seems
to be very extensively carried on. Farmers
have converted most of their land into
pastures, holding only enough in reserve to
produce feed for their stock. This kind Of
farming is greatly on the increase in ter
ritory adjacent to most large cities. Those
engaged in the dairy business say that it
pays about as we'll anything else, though
so many are engaged in 1t that competition
has brought the price of milk down to q low
figure. In Minnesota the Holstein seems to
meet with more favor than any other COW,
for farmers look more to quantity than quail
ity.-Drovers' Journal.
