1T LOOKS SIGNIFICANT.

1t must be regarded as fact OF
much significance that every me IN Der
OF the Presidents constitutional Cab
met, and every representative OF
what may he described rs his kitchen
cabinet has felt called ON to rush to
the defense of the policy Of his ad-
mInistratIon. There is no campaign
i'll progress. There is, 90 far rs We
can learn from the administration
press, not the slightest occasion for a
word OF defense Of any kind concern
ing that policy. On the contrary, all
the troubles Of the country and OF tho
administration are, we are assured,
due entirely to the unpatriotic, IL not
openly reasonable, conduct OF the
political opposition to that admins
tration.
There has been a vast amount OF
lying done ia administration quarters
concerning the attitu 10 OF the De-
mocracy OF the country regarding
this war and its prosecution. Tho
time has evidently come in the opin.

defense possible of the policy OF that

come yet for the complete refutatiou
oi those falschoods, nor for IL COM

CAUSES OF GREAT WARS.

Many wars have had trifling
causes. a dispatch altered in one or
two points by Bismarck brought ON
the Franco.German conflict. Pal
merston said facetionsly TINT only
three men in Europe knew what the
Schieswig. Holstein tronbles, which
led to two ware, were about, and two
OF them died before the conflict began
while he, third man, had forgotten.
a slight reference Of Frederick the
Great ri Prussia. to Madame Pompa-
dour OF France was one OF the causes
that led to the Seven Years war,
sometimes called the war Of three
petticoGts' from the fact that the
France OF Pompadour and the Russia
OF Cathe rine III. joined the Austria of
Maria Theresa against Frederick.
According to John Bright, England
md her allies drifted into the Crime
an war without realizing il until they
got in and did not know what they
were fighting for even after they had
started; while it is certain that every
thing which is supposed to have been
fixed by that conflict wns disturbed
ufterward. The results OF the qultr.
ter Of century Of wars. beginning
with the French revolution and end
ing with Waterloo, pleased nobody
and settle nothing according to
Sheridan. The average person who
lived ill those days knew as little
about the causes of the slaughter as
old Kasper did about the bItile Of
Blenheim when questioned by little
Pcterkin.
But the rise in the peoples power
in government has had tendency to
diminish the number of wars. The
example which the United States and
England set, when during Grants
administration they settled the Ala.
bama claims controversy by arbitra-
hon, Is having an influence all over
tho world. Africa has been pcaccably
divided among several nations dur.
ing the last quarter Of Il century.
China is being partItioncd among
half dozen countries i'll the same
amicable manner. The rnrtitiopmg
OF North America between England
and France i'll the seventeenth cen.
tury caused series OF wars, which
with u few shor: intervals, lasted for
about eighty years.

further step toward diminishing what

TOO MANY THIEVES.

The Appeal in speaking OF the dis
nhntllng OF the Carson mint gives
the following MS one OF the causes
why the administration has closed up
Nevada's money factory:
One cause for the dismantlm of
the Mint lies in the fact that the Re.
publcans who rem it few years ago
were band OF thieves. They stole
bullion bodily out OF the Mint, and
when driven to corner and caught
red handed in the act, put up an
elaborate Job to cast the blame on in :
nocent parties. Yes gentlemen, and
you cau't rub it out; the fellows who
stole the bullion, falsitied the ac.
counts and spent n small fortune
bribing witnesses and jurors, and
sailing potato patches, were ull men,
bers in good standing OF the grand
old Republican party. They we're a
nice lot OF thieves, jury bribers, SUBJ
orners OF perjury, and man nufacturcrs
OF evidence, but all being Republi-
cans their party press stood in and
defended these fellows to the last and
abused everyone who intimated that
they ought to be i'll jail. Two OF the
gang, after repeated triuls, were
landed behind the bars aud the bal
nnce got away. They will not squeal
on their pals as long as they arc
"properly considered" by their afore.
said pals, and SO runs the world away
The dismantling of the Mint means
that the authorities at Washington
cannot find sufficient force OF men
IN the State, i'll their own party, to
run the institution without giving
the country another scandal, or else
they are not i'll favor of the free coin
