it had been effected by the

enormous, 1t had been effected by the
acquisition Of territory contiguous to
territory already possessed. In 1867 a
new departure was made by the pur-
chase of the vast territory of Alaska
from Russia. And now, after period
of thirty-one years, the United States
again expands Its territorial limits.
For the first time correct map has
been published showing the acquisi-
ton of territory on this continent by
the United States. 1t appears in the
report Of the Secretary of the Interior.
Heretofore the northwestern part of
the Louisiana purchase has been shown
as extending to the Pacific ocean. 1t
was so delineated on the Land Office
maps, which were supposed to be cor
rect. 1t has been found, upon investi-
cation, that the Louisiana purchase
stopped at the continental divide, and
that the territory occupied by Oregon,
Idaho, the State of Washington, the
northwestern part of Wyoming, and
that part of Montana west Of the
Rocky Mountains, was acquired by the
United States from Spain sixteen years
after the purchase Of Louisiana from
the French. In view of the talk about
expansion" this map is of especial in
terest, as showing how this nation has
been expanding since It was narrow
strip along the Atlantic seaboard.

The right to capture private property
Of the enemy on the sea in time of war
and divide 1t up among the captors Is a
subject Of exceedingly great interest to
the commercial world, says the Chicago
Times Herald. At the breaking out of
our recent war 1t attracted immediate
attention from the numerous captures
of Sapnish trading vessels plying be-
tween the ports of Porto Rico and Cuba
and other countries. The prize money
that thus fell to our naval forces was
justified by past precedents, but to the
general observer this making prey of
inoffensive and defenseless merchant
men seemed more like piracy than civil
lied war. BY reason of this experience
there has been a general desire express
ed that this remnant of barbaric war
fare should now be abolished. Captain
Mahan comes to the defense of the GUS
tom, and urges as his strongest argument
that commerce is the life of a nation,
on which 1t thrives, and that therefore
anything that will cripple his commerce
will cripple Its fighting power. He
further says that the great CONNER
clal interests throw their influence on
the side of peace, for the very reason
that they will be the greatest sufferers
by war; assure nations" he adds,
"that their financial interests will suf-
fer no more than the additional tax for
maintaining active hostilities, that the
operations of maritime commerce, for
eign and coastwise, will undergo no
hindranee, and you will have removed
one of the most effective preventives of
war;" We think this argument proves
too much. If a nation may be crippled
on the sea in this way, why may 1t not
be crippled on land by like means |?
Why should not towns and cities be
sacked and plundered by victorious
army and the booty divided among the
officers and men? Why should not nom
combatants be put to the sword so that
they may not be forced into the enc
my's army? Why should not the grow
Ing crops be destroyed so that there
would not be food for the enemy? No.
The capture Of private property on the
high seas is no more defensible than
the capture of the same kind of prop
erty on land, and It is to be hoped that
| early steps will be taken among the ma
tons to abolish this form OF warfare.
1t would indeed be good subject for
discussion at the Cars peace confer
ence.
