Gen. Miles Letter.
ST. Louis. Mo-. July

St. Louis, Mo. July 10, 1904.
"Hon Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y
Dear Sir: Safety for the good ship of
state is of the first Importance.
AT a time when a material crisis is
pending, when democratic Institutions are
in peril. when great evils should be Grad
icated, when important political ques-
lions must be decided. it is fortunate
that the Democratic party has given to
the country a candidate for president in
whom that great council of representative
men have every confidence, and we have
the best of reasons for believing that that
confidence will be confirmed by the in
telligent patriotic people of the country.
I'VE all do know that the instincts and
training of the judge are to hold in sacred
regard the constitution and the faithful
Interpretation and execution of laws.
Hence we believe that under your admin
istration it's laws will be administered
with fidelity and integrity. l believe you
will be elected, and thereby have an OPP
portunity of rendering our country a ser
vice of immeasureable value, that will re-
dound to the honor of the democratic
party and the glory of the republic.
II have the honor to remain,
VERY truly yours,

DESTRUCTIVE I-HsTRuMENTso OF
WARFARE.

began 70 Kill mes IN . street.
The work was easy, but there was
no end to il. believe she is still
killing"
am reminded Of these words Of
Leasing, says Frantz Won Auspitz
ia the New York American, when
am asked about the prospects Of
the Universal Peace Propaganda
to-day. From the very dawn Of
time wars have been carried on
between nations, civil war and for
eign, by cannibals and civilized
nations for important reasons and
for DO reasons whatever.
War has become a habitual sin
which we cannot get rid Of.
On the Otherside, the idea Of uni
vegsal peace is by no means new
or original with modern idealists;
it is an idea which has existed for
centuries, which noble. hearted
men have tried to carry ont time
aud again.
The Roman Emperor, PlOdus,
Urban II, King Henry v Of France
and the great philosopher, I'm
manuel Kant, have all tried to
make the world give up war, but
none of them succeeded.
There are signs to day, such are
the evident efforts Of the Powers
to regulate in a peacable manner
the complicated affairs in the far
East, and the arbitration Of the
Venezuela affair some years ago,
which have given fresh hope to the
friends Of universal peace; but how
is it nowf
Where is to-day the much want.
ed universal peacei 1t is hidden
behind a total eclipse.
Thousands of guns spout fire
and spread death and destruction
in the far East.
Cossacks are dying the points
of their lances in human blood.
In immense waves the armies o.
Russia are moving eastward to.
ward the battle6elds, where al
Europe watches the monster con.
hict with bated breath.
Immediately after the foundation
Of the international Court of Arbi
tration at The Hague we have wit
messed four wars-the Spanish
American, the Boer War, the wa
between the allied Powers anC
China, and now the stupendous fai
Eastern conflict, which may vel
give the impulse to a general con
fagratiOn.
Two OF the most free and mos.
liberty loving nations Of tn,
werld-the United States ant
England-have not only carried
on war. but also reaped the fruits
Of their bloody victories with evil
dent satisfaction, untroubIed BY
conscientious scruples.
And now even the Gar, thc
founder Of the great Court Of Arbi
tratiOn, the most peace.lovinG
monarch in the world, has beer
forced to take up arms.
How and Why has this happen
eds
It has happened as It has al.
ways happened ever since human
beings dubbed together in State.
It has happened because we to
day as much as ever, care mOr'
! for material advantages than fol
beautiful abstract ideas. An acr,
Of fertile land in Middlesex Il
