cEyrRAL AMERICAN PEACE.

The prompt conclusion of peace among the
recently warning Central American states will
be widely regarded as-among other things-an
indication OF the insufficiency OF the grounds
upon which the war was begun. Had there
been deep seated causes for war, involving the
honor or integrity Of the nations causes such
as alone can justify the waging Of war, we
have no doubt that peace might have been Sc
cured, as IL has been. through the mediation Of
the United States, but it does not seem posi-
BILE that it could or would have been made so
quickly. The expedition with which the peace
treaty was signed last week doubtless arose
from the facts that there were no serious issues
among the belligerents, that they had gone to
war thoughtlessIy or on frivolous and quite
insufficient pretexts, and that they were glad TO
stop fighting the moment an offer of mediation
gave them a chance to do so and at the same
time to save their face"
It is highly gratifying that the trouble could
be and has been so easily and promptly settled.
But there ought to be lesson in it to some
of the too mercuriaL ambitious and imaginative
statesmen of those lands. war lightly under
taken and thus ended with facility may not be
as costly as more serious and more persistent
wars, but its very character brings upon it
special condemnation. It is a dreadful thing
TO begin a war for any cause. even the most
grave and just. But it is peculiarly shocking
thing to do so without adequate cause. The
fact that this one causeless war has been
quickly closed without much damage should
not, therefore, be precedent for the waging of
other such wars. but rather a warning against
it. Nations like Mexico and the United States
are always ready and glad to be peacemakers
among their lesser neighbors. But they would
much rather see no occasion or need for peace
making. It would be a poor requital for their
good offices to start, at some future day, an
other such needless war.
