SOME PRODUCTS OF MlLlTARISM.

A revolution is a very bad thing. 1t
is bad while it lasts and in it's imme-
date aftermath. Nevertheless there are
some things worse, and some for which
there is no other remedy. 1t is doubtful
that a state of society which can pro-
duce the Dreyfus infamy is not one of
the things that is worse than reyoiu-
ton. Anyway it takes a good deal OF
physic for France. and the revolution
seems to have been about the only medi-
cine sufficiently drastic to give that UNI
happy country period of even tolerably
good health.
At present it has a deep-seated case of
military dry rot, disease that seems
to manifest itself in much windy prating
of honor together with a tendency to
commit forgery, murder, perjury, assas-
sination The soldier is everything, the
citizen nothing. The army that was to
defend France has become its greatest
menace-the history of militarism every
where and always.
OF course nobody believes that Drey-
fus incident can ever be a possibility in
this country; but we are not quite spot
less in army matters. And if our Capt.
Carriers can steal a million and half
and go unpublished; if our Algers can
poison the soldiers with rotten beef and
only be dismissed as a political expe-
dent if our Eagans can disgrace the
uniform and retire ON extra pay-all this
under present conditions-who shall say
what we may come to when militarism
is a fixed condition with us?
We don't want any Patty du CLANS,
and Esterhazys, and Merciers. and all
the rest of it in this country. The Capt.
Carriers. and the Eagans and Ayers are
quite enough in that line. And we don't
want any of the militarism that breeds
such cattle.

THE SOUTH AND THE PHILIPPINE WAR.

Our Washington dispatches bring the
| information that in the raising of the
ten new regiments ordered to be re-
cr11ited no effort viii be made to get
volunteers from the South, but that the
regiments will be recruited in more
promising fields.
The South in this matter has nothing
TO regret 1t has no quarrel with the
administration in this connection. 1t has
mo fear that either it's. loyalty to the
flag or its courage will be brought into
question 1t some years ago demon
strated it's courage to the satisfaction
of other sections. When war was de-
clared with Spain, a war in which it
had stomach to fight, it demonstrated
both its loyalty and its courage, if any
demonstration We're needed, and so far
as it was permitted. 1t can rest upon
its record.
With this war in the Philippines the
great masses of the South have no
democratic in sentiment, the South looks
with horror and aversion upon war
waged against men fighting for free
dom and regards with distrust the ten
denotes developed in our government by
war of conquest. 1t is neither dazzled
by the glamour of Imperialism nor de-
vanced to justify this lare Reputation
of the principles of the fathers. It has
seen a war That was bad in theory
made worse by bungling incompetence
at the front and rank favoritism and
peanut politics at Washington. Natur-
ally enough it has not chosen TO be- any
farther than was necessary, a party to
the one or a victim of the other.
We repeat that the South has no
quarrel with the administration in this
matter. Mr.. Mckinley wants volln-
teers. He has a right. if he does not
get volunteers so rapidly as he wishes
in the South, to go where they can be
had If our people believed that this
war was a righteous one, the ten new
regiments could be raised In any State
of the South by the end of the rainy
season. If they believed that it added
any lustre to the American flag that it
should be made an emblem of terror and
of tyranny to weaker peoples, they might
volunteer for a sentiment: If they be-
lieved the war was an absolute necessity
in order that permanent and enlightened
freedom to the Filipinos should follow
their subjugation, they might volunteer
for a principle; seeing neither, Southern
men have been slow to make themselves
a party to what appears TO be evil in
theory and cruel and bloody in practice,
to Wholesale slaughter or men abroad
and wholesale perversion of principles
At home.

was driving up the principal street a
brass band suddenly struck up its blat-
ant music The mare had never heard
any sound like that before, and so start
led was she that she dropped dead IN
the shafts of the trap. A veterinary
surgeon who examined the carcas de
clared that the mare had died of heart
failure, due to excitement, caused by the
sound of the unaccustomed music of the
brass band.
We have often heard brass band music
that was enough TO kill any horse.
