Two men had an unfortunate differ
encp. They quamrled and before either
was aware of it they We're engaged i'll a
physical encounter. They We're manned
and bruised and disfgured and all good
men looked upon them with contempt.
They were disgraced, and their disgrace
was all the deeper because they had had
ample opportunity to appeal to the law.
No sensible man undertook to discuss
the comparative guilt or debasemrnt of
the men, but the whole transaction was
under condemnation. Yet no one was
injured beyond recovery and no one seri.
ously involved except the two.
Ten thousand men without any real
and no individual differences engage in
physical encounter. They 'gloriouSly'
murder each other They mutilate and
stab each other to death in a gallant
charge" They accomplish the most
glorious achievements of blowing thril
fellow men to atoms and strewing the
earth with their mangled remains
Each side faces death with Il sublime
patriotism and godlike heroism. and
give their lives voluntarily in return
for the privilege of taking the live,
of others. They steal one or one side
upon others by deception, surprise anC
form ambush. They become horric
mass of suicides, murderers, savage
pugiliSts, deceivers, betravers, and hu
man butchers, exercising on each othe
more than the savage fury of wilc
beasts, And this brings immortal glor,
and praises and honor and fame to tn,
perpetrators of such acts and the creator
of scenes of blood. slaughter and desc
lation, which involve innocent men
women and children in bereavement
misery and despair all their lives.
An assault 10y an individual on his feI
low brings the perpetrator to disgrac
and the cold, damp, unholy cell of
felon, but Il sea of like but greater hon
rors Of rapine, murders, plumbers, mas
sacres and incendiarisms bring homo
and glory and immortal fame to thei
perpetrators. Weak knees all over tn
earth bend and civilized men drop i
sudden apotheosis OF the heroic am
patriotic murders. What GodIike az
tons What devoted patriotism VIVA
sublime butchery! What glorious sacr
fees in the interest of civilization
What noble lives are being offered u
i'll defence of a civilization too proud t
seek arbitration, too imperious for din
lomacy and too strong to be considerate

Vermont is to the fore in all that
makes for progress, and in the choice of
new members for high Offices, the ques.
ton of mental and physical activity
should enter into the equation; certainly
among people who deny that any pro-
genital rights to the office enter into the
canvass. 1t is evident that we. as a ma
ton, have entered permanently upon Il
broader, yea, even Il worldwide intlu-
ence. The issues which will cluster
about the National Congress and press
for settlement upon the government as a
world-power, will require constant and
aggressive labor as well as well-balanced
mental equipment. The duty of the
people is plain: send to Congress, not
only our best men. but men Of active
habit and mental visor,-Bennington

AGAINST COLOMBIA.
The Revolutionary Expedition Under
General Herrara.

General Herrara.
WASHINGTON, April lin regard to
the revolutionary expedition under COM
nland of General Herrara. which issued
from Nicaragua, sailed down the west
ern coast of Costa Rica and landed at
David. a point on the Pacific side of the
strip of Colombian territory which forms
the Isthmus of Panama, both Senior Cal
deron the Colombian Minister, and Senior
Calro, the Costa Rican Minister, agree
upon the fact that the movement was
not made as a means of attacking Costa
RIGA on the south, as was assumed, but
rather that the invasion is directed
against Colombia
The fact that the invading band sailed
down to David in a boat loaned by the
Government of Nicaragua is regarded as
significant, particularly as the boat was
returned to that government after the
landing Of the expedition. Senior Calde-
ron has heard nothing of the invaders
since their appearance on Colombian soil,
but believes that they contemplate the
requirement of the entire isthmus.
General Herrara. the leader of the in
Svadirg force, according to Senior Calde-
ron. was formerly a musician in one: OF
Colombia's military bands, who lett that
country for Venezuela, and afterward
went to Nicara qua, where his rise in mill
tary affairs evidently has been very
rapid.
