WAR IS BARBARIsM."

In every war of modern times waged
between civilized com batants, the
charge Of barbarity is invariably made
against one or both of the contending
parties. This charge is moro or less
colored, according as the sympathies
of the accusers are q "ukened or natur-
ally incline to one or the other side of
the contending factions. This is not
a new feature in warfare. It is as old
as war itself, and will remain indelibly
stamped upon the system so long as
war exists. No doubt the world is ad-
vancing in civilization, and while the
engines of destruction are incomparably
more deadly now than they were
century ago, modern sentiment revolts
at the infliction of needless suffering
and cruel punishment. But the ques-
ton arises. who shall be the Judge as
to what constitutes unnecessarily harsh
measures. There is no tribunal to de-
termine this point, other than each
individuals own judgment. AS for the
combating forces, the cry of barbarty
usually comes from the weaker and los
ing side. 1t is an effort to avert the
consequences of defeat by appealing to
the sympathies Of disinterested nations.
and hence must be viewed with distrust
War is the science of destruction. 1t
is the dernier resort in the settlement
OF disputes between nations. History
will not justify it except when all other
means of settlement have been tried in
vain. 1t is an appeal from the domain
of reason and the sense of right, TO the
instincts of brutality and the arbitra-
ment of might. There is no such thing
as humane warfare, because war in it.
self is inhuman and barbarous. During
Sherman's famous march through
Georgia. march by the way that left
broad trail of devastation and havoc
along its course-he was demonstrated
with by a Southern lady because of his
alleged barbarous practices. MA
DAM" replied the warrior, 'war is
barbarity." His mission was destruc-
ton, and he went about his business
without paying much regard to the
shock inflicted upon those who imagine
war can be conducted in accordance
with Christian principles. After all,
it may be contended that the vigorous
and unrelenting prosecution of war
fare is the most merciful policy in the
end. The talk about barbarity was
heard in regard to the war in Cuba
before the United States became in
volved with Spain. 1t is not absent
from the conduct of war in the Philip
pines. The United States authorities
find 1t necessary to resort to extreme
measures there in order to protect its
lines of communication. The order
that any Filipino caught within 15C
yards of telegraph or telephone line
shall be shot, may seem needlessly
harsh, but no doubt it is found nee.
essary from military standpoint, and
so with regard TO the operations in
China and South Africa. Isolated
cases of cruelty have perhaps occurred,
as they have occurred in all wars oil
the past, and probably will occur in all
wars of the future, but the govern.
ments must be exonerated from the
charge of cruelty beyond that sanction.
ed by the rules of war, having the ulti
mate object in view, the close of the
war at the earliest possible moment.

The Suffer Creek Herald gave up
the ghost last Saturday; or more
strictly speaking-it failed to material
ize on that day. Its demise was not
unexpected. 1t is impossible for two
papers to exist in a small town like
Suffer Creek. The people of that
town would be foolish to encourage
such an idea. That they had the good
sense not to encourage it is self-evi-
dent from the fact that another victim
has been gathered into the journalistic
graveyard of that town.

Mr.. Tourtelotte said that he had

contract could be let as soon as the
trustees might see fit. The $685.

Basis q Wall Street Prosperity.

The weekly circular letter of
Henry Clews is a faithful mirror of
Wall street and is regarded as author
ity on financial, conditions. The
letter of Jane sst has an optimistic
tone and predicts stronger prices
throughout the stock market based
en- the following reasons: "a. The
supreme court decision in the Porto
Riop case. 2. Cuba's acceptance
of the terms for the islands govern
ment. 5. The final settlement of
the London shorts in the Northern
Pacific corner, which removes the
Northern Pacific menace from both
the London and New York markets.
4. The settlement Of many of the
threatened strikes. 5. J. p. Nor
gan's early return"
In other words the prosperity and
welfare Of the country have ceased
to exist in the crops, the mines, the
factories, the various productive
activities of the people and the de-
gree of competency they are enjoy
ing, but depend now on court de-
Icisions enabling the exploitation of
