1t is possible, but not probable, that from causes
such as those war light arise in the future. 1t will
never come from fancied insults because Of our i'm
migration laws, as has lately been advanced as
probable reason for rupture. Should it come to
pass, such war would be largely naval and unlikely
physically to reach this country There would hardly
be chance of its doing so if the Hawaiian Islands
were properly fortified. While we hold this group,
the key to the north Pacific ocean, no attack save
from our own hemisphere can reach us from the

THE WILD VESTS MIGRATION.

1t is but few years ago that the "two-gun
man was an institution out on the plains. Now the
''gunman'' is confined to darkest New York. He
used to flourish in Texas; that indeed his region
of most luxuriant development. Today Texas locks
him up if it catches him with the gun on his person
But he continues actively in business in New York,
and the statistics of crime and convictions indicate
that he is quite as safe there he ever was In
Wyoming OR Carson City.
Thirty years ago horse stealing was leading
industry of the frontier; now it is unknown.
But we learn from New York police authority
that horse stealing is getting to be regular and
rather profitable occupation in Manhattan 1t is
declared that about $4,000 worth of horses have
been stolen in the greater city thus far in 1885, at
which rate the years turnover would amount to
rather better than Sl50,0O0.
1t does seem as if the wild and wooly West had
lost all its most cherished institutions, chiefly by
reason of their migration to the metropolis.

ECONOMICS AND WARS.

Almost all the wars of the world have been fought
for economic and only for economic reasons
An Italian economist states that of 286 wars studied
no less than 258 were due to economic causes and
that the remaining %, while nomnally religious,
largely arose from the same causes.
Both the great which brought Japan to her

CONTROLLING DANGEROUS DRUGS.

Doubtless the dear old Constitution will be brought
forward and paraded as conclusive reason why the
National Government must not interfere to suppress
the traffic in dangerous drugs in this country. The
fact that the traffic is tremendously large, and that
j: is growing at rate which is thoroughly alarming,
will be quite unimportant to the constitutional sharps.
Likewise, the fact that the only adequate control
must be exercised by the Federal Government, be-
cause the States are manifestly unable to handle
the interstate aspects of the business, will make no
appeal whatever to the captious statesmen whose
business is always to demonstrate tnat the thing
tnat ought to be done, can't be.
Legislation is before Congress, and ought to pass
just as soon as possible to impose rigorous restric-
tions or this traffic. DR.. L. F. Kebler, drug spe-
caiist in the Bureau of Chemistry, and perhaps the
best informed man in the country, gives some start
ling data on the use of drugs to crafty depraved
craving He says that We import 100000 pounds of
opium year, while $4,000 pounds would meet every
legitimate demand of business. The rest goes to tns
dope hends' Dr. Kehler declares there are from
100000 to 1000, 900 such fends in the country;
and the best police information indicates that the
found good deal higher than the minimum that DR..
Kebler states.
We are able to work up vast sentimentality
about the opium traffic in China. We have spasms
of tense Indignation now and then, because of the
charges that British influence seeking to protect the
Indian opium trade with China has been arrayed
against the anti-opum crusade in the latter country.
If we would devote little of that interest to grow
ing and very grave problem here at home, it would
be much more to the point.

A FATAL MISSTEP.

If Roumana invades Bulgaria, in order to en-
force the Roumanan backmail demand for slice
of Bulgarian territory it may start clash between
Russia and Austria.
Roumanias claim against Bulgaria was accurate
ly set forth by contemporary recently. IF at the
end of the Spanish-American war, Canada had said
to Uncle SAM You have taken on lot of new ter
ritory in the South, you ought to give Maine
and if you don't give it, I'll take it, its case would
have been exactly the same as that of Roumania
today.
For Austria and Germany to back such prepos-
ferrous bit of international blackma would start the
triple alliance into war with all the moral sense of
the world hostile. The triple alliance will not do it,
