not raw material. This enormous
trade needs protection, and it needed
this war to show to the world that
our navy could protect our CONNER
cial marine no matter where it might
be. We knew our own ma
val and military strength, but
the world at large required an object
lesson, and it has had it. The naughty
flag of Spain has been swept from
the seas, while we have shown that
our citizen soldiery is superior to the
trained conscripts of the Peninsula,
Nothing has surprised Europe more
than the speed with which the United
States armed, equipped and sent
forth armies east and west. They
have sprung from the ground like Me-
IDEAS warriors from the dragons
teeth. When one thinks that in April
there was an army of barely twenty
five thousand, and that at present
there are largely in excess of
two hundred thousand under arms,
and that of these over sixteen thous-
and have been moved during that
time a distance of six thousand miles
from their own shores and landed in
the remotest East, the rapidity with
which it was done. the boundless re-
sources it displayed, and the ready
patriotism it called forth, mark it as
one of the most marvellous achieve
ments of either ancient or modern
| times.
And the world has learned its les
son. We were great as a commercial
nation; we now take our place as fore
most among the military and naval
powers of the earth. If the curtain
has fallen upon the shadow of Spain,
it has been rung up on the grandest
of dramas for the United States. For
our mission in this world is peace. We
stand an example to the world of the
advantages of freedom; freedom in
trade; freedom in politics; freedom
to worship God in whatever way we
wish. The torch of liberty is lighted
and held on high; countless millions
in the future will bless its life giving
/ beams.

PEACE.

Exactly upon the terms originally
proposed by the President, Spain has
signed the protocol of preliminaries
of peace, and the troops of both bel
hgerents may rest on their arms. OF
course until peace is actually signed,
the military forces will have to remain
in the field, and will still be exposed
to the dangers of disease. The naval
forces will be able to go into dock and
the officers and sailors feel freed from
the trying duties of the blockade.
1t has taken three months and
twenty-one days to finish war that
will have the most momentous. conse-
quences TO the world From the
western hemisphere Spain is expelled
forever. Once her sway extended
from California to the Straits of Ma
gellan, now not foot of land will
have flying over it the yellow and red
of the Don. In this direction the cur
tain falls upon the last scene of a
tragedy, for SPANS occupation of the
New World from the beginning to the
end was a tragic history of murder,
cruelty and broken faith.
What the result in the Philippines
will be, no one can say. The United
States has won with her arms. On
October LIST will commence the battle
of diplomacy which will be just as
keenly fought, though it will be car
ried on as mental, not a physical
struggle. There are plenty of keen
witted and ably trained among our
foremost countrymen who can meet
the diplomats of Spain on their own
that we shall lose in the council
chamber what our soldiers have won
in the field.
But this is not what is so momen-
tous in this war. 1t is not the gain
of an island here and coaling sta
ton there. 1t is the effect upon our
selves as a nation, and the effect upon
the other nations of the earth The
policy of isolation which has been
carried out so carefully in the past,
has ceased. 1t hadlto cease sooner or
later. Our commercial relations de-
manded it, We stand now as the sec
ond exporting nation in the world.

ured goods or agricultural products,

attitude of the President was strong
ly criticized, but during the struggle
the wisdom of his course has been
thoroughly justified. The same may be
advanced for Lord Salisbury; he is
an astute diplomat, and has able lieu

war, but if war has to come he will
use the power of his country to the

ANGER A nISEA SIC.

An English journal thus comments on
the injurious effects of anger: Anger
serves the unhappy mortal who in
dulges in it much the same as intoxi-
cants constantly taken do the inebriate
1t grows into sort of disease which
has various and terrible results. Sir
Richard Quain said, not long ago: He
is man very rich indeed in physical
power. who can afford to be angry
This is true. Every time a man be-
comes white or red with anger, he Is
in danger of his life. The heart and
brain are the organs mostly affected
when fits of passion are INDUCED in.
Not only does anger cause partial pa
ralysis of the small bloodvessels, but
the hearts action becomes internit-
tent; that is, every now and then 1t
drops a beat-much the same thing as
is experienced by excessive smokers. -
