Several ardent republican paper.
are filling their columns weekly with
praises of Gen. Grout and long.
wlnded endorsements of his candi.
dacy for the scnatorship. to the en-
tire exclusion Of other matter. And
still there is no satisfactory answer
to tie question put some time ago
If Gen. Grout possesses all the quail
ifications for the upper house-if he
is of senatorial stature-whv was he
not worthy of reelection to congress
two years ago: He was reelected
he makes good representative
but his reelection WAS fought by the
papers that are shouting for his SEN
atorial aspirations. There ought to
be some explanation of this right
about-face on the part of several
shining lights OF republicaniSm.
Gen. Grout is the same Gen. Grout
there are just as good men oppos-
ing him two years ago as there are
today. 1t is all mystery.

There have been rumors that 4
surprise was in store for the people
in the First district. Now comes a
report that eX-Gov. Smith may be
brought out is candidate. The
people OF the Second district have
much to he thankful for.
The prolonged shout for Judge
Powers at the Rutland convention
appears to have been made by a
carefully trained chorus under the
direct supervision of capable boss.
The jubilation is short-llved. Gov.
Pages friends claimed that the con
vention was packed and in response
to denials from the Powers people
they produce Il letter. written by Il
''recogn;zed Powers leader" which
says:
II have Just received a letter from
Congressman Powers and he would
like to have YOU have two or three
delegates electei, do not know
how many YOU are entitled to. to the
convention to be held in Rutland.

IT is quite evident that the nations
their inc1inations as they were one
hundred years ago, or even less than
that. The fact that, with so many
contentious and so good an opportuni-
ty, none of the nations of the world
has shown disposition to make any
moves on behalf of the Beers, of ma
ture hostile to England, is one
which may be fairly regarded as evil
dence that there is some influence,
either moral or otherwise, which re-
strains from war. It is true that the
war in South Africa is only four
months old, but in times gone by, and
not very long gone either, powers,
been even so slow in taking up with
the opportunity of humiliating and
maybe weakening rival. The pow
ers are no longer anxious to become
embroi1ed II each others quarrels.
One hundred years ago the present
situation in the orient would have as
sured1y provoked widespread war.
Fifty years ago the recent controversy
between this country and England
would no doubt have eliminated in
hosti1ities, and at that time the present
state Of affairs in the Transvaa1 would
probably have involved Great Britain
in war with France, if not with Ger
many also.
For some reason or another, in mat
tiers in which the great powers are not
themselves the principals, the Laissez
Faire policy has recommended itself to
the nations. This may have been Sc
we're on the smaller states, especially
those of Europe and Asia, but it has
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-02-15

prevented any such world wars as
characterized the eighteenth century.
No doubt this situation of affairs is
largely due to the necessarily entan-
g1ed and interviewer condition of in
ternationa1 interests. So complicated
and related are these interests just
now that the spark of controversy that
set off any two might ignite the whole
magazine. Such probability antago-
nizes war. These causes and the I'M
war1ike training of people engaged
more and more in commercial and lit
erary pursuits must inevitably tend to
eradicate war among civilized peoples.

COLONEL w. ]. BRYAN has signifed
his preference for the title of Mr.. to
that of Colonel. That is certainly
good taste on the part of Mr.. Bryan.
There is more familiarity in the mill
tary title than in the civil one, and be-
sides it might, being so common
among honorary degrees, be prejudic-
ia1 to the requirement of more to
be desired title. However, if Bryan
