izations are seeking to restrict the num-
Der of laborers, vast enterprises re-
main latent owing to the scarcity OF
laborers. The cotton suffers for pickers,
I the grain for reapers. As we now offer,
so to speak, bounty for the scalp of
every Chinaman found in the country,
We shall sometime be offering sim
liar bounty for the Chinaman found
with his scalp intact. Having had
residence on the Pacific coast, l can
say from observation that the wealth of
empires between those mountain ranges
would be Increased from their present
mere smattering of population a thou
sand fold by the presence of races like
the Chinese, addicted to labor, crime
OF which our brick masons and walking
delegates will never be accused.
In fact the nations must help one
another out or none of them can get
OH. Each has something that the other
must have for its fullest development.
We are slowly arriving, thanks to Adam
Smith and his successors, to the
knowledge that each party to a bar
gain may be enriched. Just now in
Vulnerable tunnels and canals might be
cut in our own and in other lands at
a rate of wages that would uplitt the
laborer and still prove profitable to the
employer, granted only the reasonable
security from revolution or seizure
To the thought Of some men anything
never accomplished is impracticable.
But there is nothing that ought to be
done which cannot be done. tAll you
have thought or dreamed of good shall
exist" u. Il ..
There are signs of the removing of
barriers between nations. British and
Boer are not bitter towards one another
as they were before the war. Jap and
Russ respect one another more than
they did a year ago, and through con
flict there is peace. -f-
The dogs may have bone, of con-
tention between them, but after they
consume the bone there is no, more
cause for quarrel. / remember a ear
toon OF Bismarck's time in this connec-
ton. 1t was the occasion of the con-.
ference of the powers which settled the
boundaries after the Turco- Russian
| war. About the iron chancellor who
was carving at table, sat the plenipo-
tentiaries of the various powers, each
holdingforth plate towards the platter.
But" says Bismarck, there really is
no more turkey" Thus when the weak
er or ruder portions of the earth are in
strong hands, as they all shortly will
be, the incentive to war will be less,
the cost Of war more grave and the re-
suits OF the war will be mostly nullitied
by the consensus Of the powers. In the
present Titanic strife Russia had no
conception of the dragon she was stir
ring up. Great nations knowing them
selves great will remember the fine
phrase of job: mo one is, so fierce
that dare stir him up. Remember the
battle, and do SO no more!" 80
A fair sentence is that which has
recently been quoted from Kuropatkin,
wherein he observes with the enthusi-
asm Of soldier to the punetilious OBJ
servance of the Japanese Of all the
rules of war, and he adds, I'm this re-
spect the war is, the pleasantest in
which have ever engaged ez>l.eg,,
1t would appear that both selfishness
and altruism point toward a world al
lance, and the recognition even by sin
itself of the practical Judgment of Jesus
Christ: BLESSED are the peacemakers."
In spite of the religious wars that stain
the pages of history, any historian
must confess that no event has had
such influence on the worlds peace as
the crucifixion. There the nations meet
| together. Greek, Roman and Jew read
the superscription of his accusation and
our own that PLATE with large Roman
sense and military brevity had said the
word for the ages. Whether we. love
him, tolerate him or even fend him off,
Jesus has drawn the nations together,
for he is our peace, who made both one
and brake down the middle wall of par
tition. A wall denies human Fellowship,
a road affirms human fellowship; wall
means stagnation, road means circula-
ton. Highways lead to liberty. Walls
encourage tyranny. ...
China stands behind the policy of the
great wall. England defends the open
doo:. t}5, f."
Barriers result in profound ignorance.
Roads are the means of culture. Jesus
, says: II am the door. By Me. ,ye shall
so In and out" a. -. n j -
! But If there be those who say the
scheme of world alliance is chimerical
answer that the argument from the
past in regard to a good course. Of
action is a poor argument. That argu-
ment was against liberation of slaves;
against the revolution: against the
hopes of the pilgrims; again Columbus;
against Galileo; against Newton. All
these men We're doing what never had
been DONE and they remain as the
practical men of their centuries. =
| I suppose that in the middle ages
there were millions Of persons in EN-
rope and japan, who not only never
supposed 1t possible to live except UNI
| der the feudal system, but who could
not conceive Of any other scheme. Of
human government. Yet the feudal
system has passed away. The avassal,
from the kin down, placed his hands
between those of his overload and
swore 20 be his man. Are you any
mans man? The Legislature may be-
long to the senator-eiect, but the pri-
vate citizen is above it and beyond it.
In fact, senators seem to be the only
| barons whose feudal chairs are not tot
