REASONS FOR SOME WARS.
Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Lea,
John Bull to Fight.

Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Lead
John Bull to Fight.
An English paper has the following
to say on the reasons for some British
wars: From all appearances 1t does
not take much provocation to set John
Bull at war. William the Conqueror
made war on France because King
Philip had made a sighting allusion
to his embonpoint. More recent wars
have been brought about by trivial in
cidents. In 1910 large trade in opium
was done by British traders in China.
and the Chinese government at length
forbade the importation of the per-
nicious drug by our sailors. The edict,
however, had little or no effect, and the
trade continued, till at length the
Chinese imprisoned a number of Brit
ish subjects and We promptly declared
war. Our second war, in 1856, ought
never to have come about If its origin
is taken into account. A Chinese pi-
rate hoisted the British flag at his
mainmast, and was afterward seized by
his government as bloodthirsty ad
venturer. Had he failed to run up our
flag his capture would have been re-
garded as good thing here, but as it
was. it was taken as an insult, and we
made war on the Chinese for refusing
to apologize. The horrors of the In
dian mutiny will still be remembered
by minority OF our readers, and the
cause which led to it is a matter OF
history. Cartridges creased with cows
fat were served out to the Sepoys, who
refused to use them on the ground that
the COW was a sacred animal. We in
sisted. and almost without any warn
ing, the terrible massacres followed,
which were only avenged at an enor-
nous expenditure of lives and money

RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS.

When that great, fertile parent of
trusts, the Republican party permits
one of it's most trusted servants to
speak of them in the light of evils.
there must be some truth in the hue
and cry against them. That the peo-
pie are right, as they generally are
upon great and burning questions. Mr..
Comptroller Dawes is fain to admit.
and with his weather eye open to get
on the good side of the dear people,
and secure enough votes to elect his
angelic friend, Mr. Mckinley, he
pledges the Republican party to the
elimination and abolition of all wicked
trusts. In fact, he declares the G. o.
P. will do anything and everything.
even unto sacrificing before wooden
gods and idols of every style Of man
ufacture, rather than lose votes. The
people of this country have been sur
feited with anti-election promises, and
have been gulled, hypnotized and be-
trayed so many times that 1t is not
fort to again mislead them. But let
us hear what Mr.. Dawes has to say on
the subject of trusts. 1t was at love
feast" in Springfield. ILL.,
Mr.. Dawes finds three things in our
present grave domestic problems:
First, cheap raw materials and the
elimination of competing buyers; Sec
ond, higher prices for the public and
the elimination of competing sellers;
third, the more economical production
of commodities by concentration of
capital" With this third one, the IL
limitable Dawes says. "The people of
the country, as whole, find very little
fault" Mr.. Dawes is talking through
the Washington style administration
hat. The concentration of capital for
any purpose is the greatest grievance
the people of this nation has ever had
to contend with. He should have said
that all of the people comprising the
complaint, and that when it comes to
that, the SO per cent of the people of
this country are the strenuous and
persistent fault finders. The random
talking comptroller of the currency
must know. If he stops to think for
himself, and not through Mark Han
mas phonograph, that the people Of
this country are under the impression
that his efforts to mislead are caused
by his anxiety to foist Mckinley and
the concentration Of wealth upon an
overburdened people for another term.
and then put II beyond the mower of
the people to relieve themselves.

preparing, curing and packing the fish
were able to accomplish their 500-mile

for changes Of engines. The train con-
sisted of two fine corridor coaches and
three comfortable saloons, and at the
rear were four luggage vans, all full

MUSICAL MENTION.

The presentation of Sir John Stainer's
musical service, The Crucifixion,' which
he calls "A Meditation on the Sacred Pas
sion Of the Holy Redeemer.'' at ST. Johns
Church last Thursday evening, was a mu-
steal event of much interest and no little
Importance. Mr.. II. II. Freeman, the or
ganist and choirmaster, has for nearly two
years devoted assiduous labor to perfecting
the work of this choir and on this occasion
the result reflected great credit on his in
telligent perseverance. Throughout the SER
vice Mr.. Freeman'S guiding hand was con-
stantly felt in the precision of the chorus
and the moving ensemble. Such services as
this and those of last Tuesday night at Con-
cordia Church. and of Good Friday at ST

doing much to lift church music in
Washington out of the COMMONPLACE into

assistance of orchestras, and all will pre-
sent musical programs appropriate to the
Easter occasion.

AR T NO TES,

When the Society of Washington Artists
a Few years ago secured the galleries
which 1t occupies now at 1920 Connecticut
avenue. ii was believed to be a progressive
movement; that a local hab,tation where
exhibitions could be held without having to
depend upon the generosity of others was
due it as the representative art body of
the city At considerable expense the build
ing, which was originally designed for
store, was transformed into an attractive
and well-liShted gallery. The first exhibit
ton held therein was duly advertised and
opened with a formal reception on the
evening of the first day. and, although the
attendance during the following two weeks
was satisfactory in its personnel. it lacked
numerical strength characteristic which
has marked each succeeding annual exhibit
tion. The situation is most unfortunate.
but just where the trouble lies it is not easy
to discover. The artists have surely per-
formed their duty. and il remains with the
art-Ioving public to meet them half way
The present exhibition. which closes this
evening, has fallen far short of receiyine

are its due.
