A CONTRAST.

"The Presidents Dream of War" as
contrasted with Judge Parker's plea
for peace" is the dominating idea Of
a campaign card being distributed by
the National Democratic Committee.
On the diverse appears the follow
ing:
PRESIDENTS DREAM OF WAR.
IF we ever grow to REGARD
PEACE AS A PERMANENT CONDI-
TION, and feel that we can afford to
let the keen, fearless, virile qualities
of heart and mind and body sink into
disuse. we will prepare tine way for
inevitable and shameful disaster in
the future. From speech by MIR.
Roosevelt, when Governor, before New
York Republican Club. FEBRUARY Is.
1893.
The military establishment of the
United States, exclusive OF pensions,
will, under four years of Roosevelt, in
a time of profound peace, have cost
$515, 100000 more than under four
years of Cleveland.
This is the reverse of the document:
PARKER'S PLEA FOR PEACE.

ments may please the eye, and, for
the moment. excite the pride of the
citizen. but it cannot bring to the coun.

In the official correspondence be-
tween Japan, Russia, Korea and China
since the opening of the Far Eastern
war, the quaintest passages have been
those relating to the ancestral tombs
of the Mings, Manchus and Koreans.
Japan has promised to protect these
treasures at Mukden, Seoul, Ping
Yang and north of Picking, while Rus
STA fakes no such declaration, but
threatens Mukden and Picking If her
people or railway property be inter-
fered with.
One of the first moves of Japan was
to dispatch reserves to guard the
tombs at Toxic, Nikko, Kyoto and 9TH
err important points. Though Occi.
dental in many ways, Japan's heart
can be touched deeply by dissertation
of these sacred mausolea. At Toxic
are the tombs of the Tokugawa Sho-
guns. Kyoto is famous for its shrines.
Here is the burial place of the Shinran
Shonin. A queer structure called the
spectacle bridge, like pair OF eye
glasses, holds high place in the trav-
eler's memory. The souls of the de-
parted are said to pass over it and see
every act of mortals. Near by is the
Taikodo shrine and its court for re-
ceiving the ashes Of devotees, and Ka-
diiji, sacred to the Zen sect, with Its
gold screens by Motonobu, Kanokoi
and Tohaku. The thirty-six ancient
poets by Mitsunobu ornament the
walls.
The writer had the good fortune to
visit the shrines at Nikko after the
law was changed allowing only rulers
to inspect the "little cardinal BRIDGE"
or nihashi. The Daiyagaw flows be-

hundred thousand to the spiritual four

they are shamefully desecrated. The
laws concerning ancestral worship are
the most stringent in the empire. The
dead have three souls. One becomes
the ancestral tablet in the family
homestead, another enters the grave,
while the third passes to the Great
Oversoul, where it may be detained for
punishment or sent back to earth in
the form of man or beast. The third
soul is worshiped at the municipal
shrine or temple.
Some Of the most beautiful of these
municipal temples are at Mukden.
the tombs of Noorhachi, Abakhaye and
numerous other Manchu emperors or
Khans are inclosed in a sacred park
near here. AS soon as the Russians
camped at the capital of Manchuria,
Gen. Macs troops from Picking ap-
peared on the scene to giord the
tombs. They are the pick of the for
eign trained soldiery and are equal to
their task. Each one has been taught
that If he gives his life for the pro-
lection of tomb his soul, in turn,
will inhabit tomb of the same rank.
1t is safe to say that the Chinese will
endeavor to preserve neutrality while
the Russians tent on their tomb pre-
cincts.
Death homes for the living repre-
sentatives of royalty are reserved and
the people begin to worship the re-
ceiving vault while the man lives. In
the great funeral professions passing
through Mukden court is paid to all
the Manchu emperors, Shunchi Q644.

yet was granted no secured peace
when there was respite from fighting
in Europe. The hostile approach, the
hasty summoning for defense, the IA
tai strife of battle represent that
which is most conspicuous in its his
tory for a century and a half. What
wonder. then, that the plowshare not
infreouently turns out of these his
toric grounds ancient arms. frag-
ments of shell and cannon balls large
and small!
Fort Anne is very well preserved,
not exactly as it was, though, for the
life has gone out of it. The palisaded
ditch of water which ran through the
moat is dry and filled up. The tim
bers that faced the escarpments are
rotten and gone, too. No logs ready
to be rolled down on besiegers; no
pyramids of shot, no guns save few
condemned cannon appear on ravelins
and bastions.
Defenders and defenses have alike
disappeared. So also within the ram
parts have all the buildings that
served for habitations and supplies but
one. and still so much is left that one
unfamiliar with it's earlier appearance
misses only the life it suggests but
does not present.
Surely, a squad of soldiers might be
expected at any moment to pass
through the sally port. The prison
in the northwest angle of the parade,
a dark. sitting cell under the bastion,
seems quite as ready to receive the
guilty as when the last delinquent ex-
plated his offense there.
Annapolis is city OF nameless
graves. No one knows certainly where
the French buried their dead, although
real heroes and heroines of noble birth
were numbered among them. The En-
glish cemetery under the shadow OF
the fort shows few names of the
worthy families known to have be-
longed to the early populations.
Gregori' Remonia Antonio, the
Spanish beauty whose name has been
associated with that of the Duke of
Wellington, and who accompanied her
husband to the field of Waterloo and
watched the struggle of that day, curl
ously enough found her final resting
place here, where the waves of En-
glish and French hostility broke up
=. on the shore.

low, rejecting the red and gold of the
structure and the queer green's of the
tombs bordering it. the span appears
to be the work of magic held in be-
tween dragon rocks, it's ribs seeming
to SILVER and breathe with every pass
ing breeze. Majestic statues introduce
one to the mausoleum of Iemitsu.
Through the arch is another gateway
presided over by the mythical protect
ors of Buddhism and the gods of wind
and thunder. On the top of hill, up
a flight of steps, is the bronze tomb,
with it's carved gated entrance. Down
the steps and through long gallery
connecting two odd temples is the
tomb of Jigen Daishi, the Nikko
priest-adviser of the Shoguns.
1t is watched by six Buddhist gods
and two white Phoenix birds. Near
ey are the thirteen tombs Of the royal
Abbots. During my visit group or
French artists was studying the
painters Chamber" in Tama-ya, or
the tomb place Of Iemitsu. These
precious relics represent the art OF
the seventeenth century. each painting

The subjects are mostly Buddhistlc,
and even at this date the colors are
brilliant and glowing. The leyasu
crypt is in a regal courtyard, with sta
tuary and chapels 1t is pagoda OF
gold and bronze, surrounded by a
stone wall. In front Of the tomb is
table of stone, on which stands life
like bronze stork. Before the entrance
repose two heavenly dogs, koma-inu
and ama-inu.
Japan tries to practice what she
breaches. In the Chino-Japanese war
the mikado's troops paid respect to
the Korean royal tombs at Soul and
Pips-Yang and the Chinese shrines
along her triumphal march to the
gates of Picking. Not SO much can be
said of the other countries. Cathay

1897, when the Germans took Kiao-
Chau, the natives of Shang-tung were
in such fear that their Jerusalem or
Holy Land of Confucius would be des-
ecrated that riot and rebellion were
melted, populations of towns repairing
to Kiu-fu, the home of Confucius, and

dead.
It was not so much the rash acts or
the German soldiery, who had been
led on by the murder of two Teuton
priests, as the German connection
with proposed new railway routes
through the tomb-lands of the en-
pire. All the great powers were more
or less involved, and there is no doubt
to-day it was these plans to disturb
the souls of the dead that brought on
the Boxer rising.
The tombs have figured in every war
waged in Chinese territory. Ancestral
worship, the real religion, is express
al in family and royal mausolea. The
phrase, "the only good Indian is a
dead one," in Chinese would be "A
good Chinaman grows noble after

when he commits error his ancestors

lively Lescabot, they made light OF
hardships and toll. No other place in
North America can boast such revels
in those days, or so much decorum in
sport.
Among the many stories connected
with the hostlities about Port Royal
the most romantic and thrilling is
that of the bitter feud between
Charles La Tour and D'Aulnay Char
Mise. The former, as the friend and
associate of Poutrincourt's son, re-
ceived from him at his death the
right of command in Acadie. D'Aul-
nay held the same right from the
friend of Richelieu in France.
The enmity of the two men was as.
sured, for neither recognized the
claim of the other. La Tour retreated
to st. John, supported by his ability to
make friends, by aid from New Eng
land, and by his young bride, the
most brilliant and interesting woman
Of the French period. D'Aulnay, the
favorte of the French court, zeal
GUS promoter of the Jesuit missions
and of all measures for the improve
ment of his colony, remained at An
napolis.
Naturally the encounters OF these
men during ten years of hostility are
sufficiently episode, but it is Nine.
La Tour who figures most heroically
in the feud. Think of woman BRAY
ing the long voyage to France to win
aid for her husband from the luxuri-
Gus court of Louis XIV! D'Aulnay
sought to thwart her, but she escaped
pursuit to England, was detained upon
her return voyage long time on the
north coast and finally carried to Bos-
ton, where she prosecuted the cap
tain of the vessel upon which she
came for unwarranted delay, won her
suit and returned to st. John with
the desired aid.
1t was upon Nine. La Tour, during
the absence of her husband, that
D'Aulnay made his final attack. The
woman made brave defense, repuls.
ing his first attack in February. He
returned, however. in April. and
treacherously gained admission to the
fort. Still Nine. La Tour held out,
but at length, forced to yield, she sur
rendered under condition that her
supporters should be spared.
When D'Aulnay, however, saw how
few had withstCod him, erraged, he
commanded the execution of all save
one, and compelled Nine. La Tour to
witness the deaths of her followers
with a halter about her neck.
Under the terrible strain of such
scenes the strong nerves of the brave
woman gave out, and three weeks af-
terward she died a prisoner. 1t is
some satisfaction to know that the
Annapolis river swallowed up her foe
five years later. OF him it has been
said with power to conquer his
enemies, he had no ability to make
friends"
Upon the death of D'Aulnay the
fugitive La Tour returned from the
wilds, was received once more in IA
vor at the French court, and, by
strange twist of fate, married the
widow of his former enemy, the
drowned D'Aulnay.

The French settlement was doubt
less concentrated at Lequille, near the
mills, after D'Aulnay took command
and brought his colony of farmers to
Port Royal. Many relics of their hab.
itation are found thereabout, and
there are the ancient willows and ap-
pie trees which the French loved to
plant, and which, as living monu-
ments, have persisted through the
centuries to mark the places where
stood the homes of the Acadians.
