Frorn an address at Buffalo, N. z,
by Hon. David j. Brewer, associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States:
81 have no military education; do
not know bow to conduct war; I do
not edit ''yellow" Journal; and SO I
yield unquestioning assent to the
claims made by army and navy gen
tlemen, that, in case of war, coaling
stations in different parts of the globe
are desirable. And yet, with the IN
oredulity and questioning spirit of q
Yankee. I cannot but notice that we
have gotten along safely for an hun
dred yesls without any coaling sta
tions outside our own territory.
And, further, it is clear that for g
coaling station territory as large as
New England is not essential. But.
beyond that, is there not such thing
as OVERRIDING this getting ready for
war;"
II have noticed that q man who
goes about with q chip on his shout
der is very apt to have many quarrels,
but the gentleman who minds his OVID
business is ordinarily let alone and
gets through life without fight.
owe have lived and prospered for
123 years with handful of regular
troops We have preserved peace at
home and nave been respected abroad
Government by the consent of the
governed has little need of the SOL
der. So the world hes come to be-
lieve and SO it is Are we ready TO
forfeit this high position?"
Do we not endanger the very foun-
dalton principles of this government
when we make the bIare of the bugle
and the tramp of the armed battalion
the music which attracts the ambition
of our youth?
X = X
May God save the United States OF
America and keep them from the road
so often travelled by nations, of in
creasing territory, accommodating do
man, rapidly and easily acquired
wealth, luxurious splendor, a grow
ing separation between the poor and
the rich, decay and death; and may
we may always hear the solemn
prayer Of Abraham Lincoln, borne
upward to Heaven from the conse-
Grated field of Gettysburg. that gov
eminent of and by and for the people
may never perish from the earth!'
