The Meaning OF Peace.

That Spain has accepted our terms,
that the war with Spain is ended, are
probabilities that only fall short Of
certainty because they are not as yet
officially confirmed by our Govern
ment. And apparently the only rea-
son this final clinching is lacking is
because the note Of acceptance from
Spain has not yet arrived. The Worlds
Madrid correspondent cables that it
has been formulated and dispatched.
Assuming, as there is every reason
to assume, that peace has come, what
prospect it opens up!
The Spanish people, although defeat
ed, may well look toward to the future
with hope. Freed from colonies which
they could not govern, freed from
responsibilities which they were
incapable of meeting, they can
address themselves to building up
their own country, to developing the
political, moral and material potent
alities which have so long lain dor
mant. in that brave and Industrious
and unfortunate race.
As for us, peace means thatwe shall
straightway begin to reap the advan-
tages which the war enabled US and
the rest of the world to discover that
we possessed. We shall have a free
hand in the West Indies, free hand
to develop and uplift and annex to
civilization vast and rich domains,
whose people can now for the first time
think of liberty as something more
substantial than a remote and evan
escent hope. We shall obtain our
share of the worlds commerce through
our establishments in the Far East.
And we are well prepared to play
this larger part in the drama of CIV
ilization than we dreamed of having
few months ago All the world has
suddenly begun to observe us intent
ly, with new respect, with a whole
some fear that need have no element
of dread in it.
Peace is at hand-peace with honor,
with glory, with high hopes and new
and superb aspiration. N. Y. World

Another Farmer Yictimized.

Fakirs have warm spot in their
hearts for Monongalia county farm
ers. No sooner had the lightning
rod man taken his departure along
with large sized roll than there
appeared on the scene a man taking
orders for different articles which
were offered for about % per cent of
their real value. However to take
advantage of this liberal offer the
would be purchaser must pay one
half in advance merely as sign of
good faith The latest victim was
Mr.. G. r. Sherwood, a farmer living
about ten miles out the Kingwood
road. A well dressed stranger,
smooth of speech offered to sell Mr..
Sherwood a handsome piano for $75
to be delivered in Morgantown Aug.
|. This offer was accepted. Mr.
Sherwood paid thirty five dollars
taking the strangers receipt for that
amount. The piano has not yet ar
rived. The best course to pursue
is to patronize the home mer-
chants and along with this adj
vice it would not be amiss to say
read the papers.

One of the lessons. of the war with
Spain is the necessity for the completion
OF the Nicaragua canal. Had that canal
been in operation. Capt. Clark would have
been in the midst Of the naval operations
in the Atlantic weeks before he was, and
none can say what might have been the
important results. The campaign might
have been shorter-but it is certain that
the nation would have been relieved OF
the terrible anxiety as to the fate Of the
good battle ship and her crew Of brave
men and officers. Now that 1t can almost
be said that the sun never sets on our
possessions, It Is doubly important that
there be a short route between the At
lantic and the Pacific. With war clouds

moment may not be distant when the
United States will be involved in some
controversy between the other powers
and the necessity arise for mobilizing
powerful feet in the Pacific. If the next

to accomplish 1t is to stop dallying with
the canal question. and quickly take mea-
zures for its completion. The increased

BROKEN HEARTS

Chicago Times.Hcrald.
1T breaks my hear, TO read some Of
the morning papers says a woman
whose gentle sympathy has seno out to
our soldier boys in camp and acld "rhc
sorrow caused by suffering aud death
among the troops could be borne with
resignation and patriotic ,ortItude u it
were not for the charges that many
deaths from disease and much ot the a..
ness among our brave boys are due 10
offieial incompetence and neglect and are
not the unavoidable results o, warfare" |"
And this gentle woman is one OF thou
sands whose heartsirings are played upon
daily by the cruelty OF men whose only
purposes are to furnish sensational news,
to vent their spleen against public ofii-
olals or to make political capital
The inevitable horrors OF war are shock
ing enough. without exasgeration or ex-
,ortion. The present physical condition
Of the army is bad enough without being
subjected to the magni;yins glass OF
falsshOd.
I, IS enough iha, hearts should be orok-
en- over the deaths OF loved ones whom
no earthly power can save. without tor
turing the bereaved ones with the iuta-
nous Ne that the brave dead we're need
lesslv and eriminany saeriaeed.
Mental suffering has more o, pain ana
anguish than physical H. The premedi-
,R,ed innic;iOn OF physical suffering a,
once arouses the indignation OF humane
people to a wrathful degree The de-
signed and prsmeditated lnaIctiou OF
mental torture is the very acme Of cru
city and cowardice. Il is not necessary
to conceal the trtth concerning the man
asement OF the campaign or the condl-
ton OF the troops to mitigate the sorrow
OF those whose loved ones have laid their
lives upon the affairs Of the country The,
can bear the truth. and the truth
will help them to bear their afiie-
ton. And the truth is that there has
been no ruthless sacrifice OF lie. and that
the emergencies aud exigencies Of war
which The administration sought to avoid
are responsible for the mortality and III
ness among the troops.
The cruelty and cowardice that impel
men to hack at bleeding hearts cannot
long continue without calling down upon
the offenders the wrath Of a humane and
patriotic people.
In this hour which marks the sad home
coming OF our victorious army the su-
preme effort Of all should be to bind up
the wounds Of the nation and the broken
hearts Of the bereaved ones.
