AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey,
addressed the senate July %, as TO-
lows:
Mr.. president, 1 desire to give
expression to a few thoughts. The
events Of the past few days as oc-
curing in Mexico are of momcntous
consequence not only to Mexico, but
to the people of America and the
civilized world.
On the 9th Of August last the
president, while addressing the con.
gress on the Mexican situation, said:
The steady pressure of a moral
force will before man days break
the barriers of pride and prejudice
down, and we shall triumph as Mex
ico's friends sooner that we could
triumph as her enemies-and how
much: more handsomely and with how
much niger and finer satisfaction of
conscience and honor"
"A very strong sentiment in this
body and in the country endeavored
to hold up to ridicule this policy of
the president. Had the policy of
the presidents critics prevailed,
bloody battles would have been
fought; an army Of $50, 900 or 30O,-
900 would this day be camping on
Mexican soil; thousands Of Americas
brave sons would this moment be

THE CAUSE OF THE WAR.
(From the Des Moines Evening

1t is, doubtful~if2 anybody knows
just what has brought the European
situation ito a crisis. OF curse, the
ostensible cause of the war was the
killing Of Ferdinand Of Austria by a
Slav of Servia. Behind that has
been the growing restlessness Of the
Slavs of southern Europe over Ger
man ascendancy in Austria: Behind
that has been the desire Of Germany
to reach the seacoast to the, south,
and of Russia to take Constantlnople
and reach, the sea, and of England to
keep both Germany and Russia away
from its channel of commerce with
India. 81. g :
But behind all Of these causes OF
the war is the overcrowding of popu-
lation in Europe. r.
And growing out Of this overpopula
ton a contempt for human life and
a cynical belief that periodically
there must be a killing off to make
room. 2*5% ug.N p,
And behind that the glory of war,
which has been from the beginning
of history the main occupation OF
the male animal. ,
War is in the blood, and that Is
perhaps the real explanation OF what

EPocH-MAkING PEACE TREATIES

(trOm The COmmOner.)
The twenty treaties have been rati-
fled by the United States senate and
are epoch-making. They provide for
investigation IN ALL CASES. The
contracting nations agree NOT TO
DECLARE war or BEGIN HOSTILr
TIES until the investigation is COM
pleted (the Investigation not to
extend beyond one year without spec

to act independently AFTER the re-
port is made. e.
The commission Is a permanent
one and represents five nations. The

This plan, upon which the secre:
tary OF state, by the authority Of the
president, has been working for more
than q year, will go far to make wal
