From thin standpoint war is a hateful thing nicn we eaould shun as antago istic to the objects of our national existence, as threatening demorai- atlon to our national character and as obstructive to our national destiny.;- v' - QUESTIONS OP WAR. "While thus suggesting the for bidding traits of war,1 1 should be guilty of an attempt to mislead if I failed to say that there are con ditions which not only Justify war but make a resort to it a duty. "INo nation, however peacefully inclined and whatever the conse quences may be, can determine that it will in no circumstances engage in war. Bad as it is and deplorable as its incidents are, no government can refuse' war at the risk of imperiling its existence or sacrificing the rights and interests it holds in trust for its people and for humanity and civilization. In view of such an unescapable lia bilty to be brought face to face with the question of war, and in view of war's real nature and de moralizing effect upon our national life and character, we cannot fail to be most seriously impressed by the reflection that we have express ly authorized those to whom we have intrusted our public affairs to determine for us. the. momen tous issue of peace or war, and that if the determination be for war our ready and unquestioning acquiescence becomes patriotism and the support of our country's contention becomes good citizen ship. j DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP. "How, then, shall the people pro tect themselves against the folly of a departure from their national purposes, and against the crime of unnecessary and unjustifiable, war? Manifestly by an intelligent study on their part of the character of their government, and the exaction of a clear apprehension, on the part of those who would represent them in public life, of their na tion's mission and ot the baleful effect of war-upon their nation's health. These considerations em phasize in the strongest possible manner the importance of a larger participation by thoughtful and educated men in political affairs. "No man can lav claim in a proper sense to true American cit izenship who does not interest him self in matters pertaining to our government, who does not inform himself as to its designs and pur poses, or who is not wi.1 ling by ac tual interferences to' guard it against abuses and insidious per version as well as against open at tack. ' "No one increases his claim tb good citizenship who interests him self in public matters for purely selfish purposes and to accomplish personal ends. A man may ac quire a knowledge of the principles of our government, and use his knowledge to mislead and the pre tense of devotion to these princi ples may mask nothing better than the advocacy of blind and mis chievous partisanship. "If such things constituted good citizenship we might congratulate our country, for we have them in abundance. Inasmuch, however, as they are really evils which sadly afflict and endanger us, it is of the. utmost importance., that there should be infused in our body pol itic the counteracting remedy of true, patriotic, unselfish American citizenship. "This grows out of a love of our government, for its own sake and for what it does for every citizen. It is thoughtful and it is intelli gent; it has a clear understanding of the doctrines upon which our government rests; it rejoices in American traditions ; it glories in American objects and purposes, and is proudly contented with the accepted mission of the United States among ' the nations of the earth." : - Chamberlain's Pain Balm Gores Others, Why Not Yon? My wife has been using Cham berlain's Pain Balm, with good re sults, for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine vears. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without re ceiving any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an adver tisement of this medicine and thought of trying it, which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder is almost well. Adolph L.

CHINA AND JAPAN. Will There be an Alliance Between the Two Empires? The recent mission of the Chinese Commissioners Liu and Ching to Tokyo had ostensibly a purely com mercial object to examine the working of trading and manufact uring methods adopted by Japan but its main purpose, according to the Tokyo correspondent of the London Times, was to ascertain the possibility of an aliance be tween the two Oriental Empires. The Commissioners were received by the Japanese Government and bad an imperial audience, though the real character of their mission was openly discussed by the press. They, were not authorized, of course, to conclude an alliance.' It was designed merely to sound Japan, with a view to possible ne gotiations in the future. . Nor were the Japanese disposed to tie up their fortune with that of China, in view of China's present inability to strike a blow in her own defense. But it was felt at Tokyo to be wise to encourage China to come out of her shell and to see the Far East- ern situation as it really is. To encourage China . to develop her capacities of self-defensethat is as much as Japanese statesmen are willing at present to undertake. -The disintegration of China is not favored or expected. Some of her outlying territories may, it is thought at Tokyo, be lopped off - and Japan herself has contributed largely to that result. But there must always remain a solid resid uum, guaranteed against disrup tion: by- the homogeneity of the race, by its vast resources and by its long-continued autonomy. Pop ulous and endowed with great though as yet undeveloped natur al resources, China is of interest to Japan as a promising market. It is on Chinese custom that her man ufacturers chiefly rely, and it is Japan's ambition, to become a great manufacturing country. The "open door" is, therefore, as important a point of Japanese commercial policy as it is of the trade policy of the United States and England. Its value is illustrated by a vivid object lesson now under study. Last year Japan's cotton-spinning industry her fir6t important man ufacturing enterprise was ap proaching bankruptcy for want of buyers. This , year the industry is booming by reason of the develop ment in North China of a large de mand for Japanese yarns of a "count," which Manchester is too busy and Bombay is unable to sup ply. Cbifu, Neuchwang and Shang hai have a roaring trade with Japan, which a hostile tariff would quickly destroy. It is seen, there fore, to be a matter of life and death to rising Japanese industries to v prevent large encroachments upon Chinese territory by powers that employ protective duties to close the markets they control. I j To what length will Japan go to keep the Middle Kingdom intact,1 and how would she labor to achive that end? The Japanese are agreed says the Times' correspondent, that their task is not to save China in spite of herself, but to guide and aid her to the end that she shall be able to stand alone. Before every-' thing, China, they think, needs a strong army and a strong navy J She has; alreadv the materials;! they require only to be molded into shape. Right here Japan s func tion begins, since she, having her self just passed through the mill of adaption to modern civilization, is best qualified to appreciate and overcome China's difficulties. Ja aan, if given the opportunity, could in a few years endow China with an army which even Russia would be bound to respect. But Chi nese navy is a more difficult matter, If Chinese administration and Chi nese finances were reformed j it would take years to create an effi cient navy, and meanwhile China's coast woulc be at the mercy of any enemy. This interval, the Japaj nese think, can be best filled by the intervention of the Anglo Saxon naval power. The British Navy, in co-operation with that; of Japan, is adequate, they fancy, to protect China against maritime aggressions till she is able to pro tect herself. Such is the Japanese idea. It will be criticised, doubt less, as minimizing the time and difficulty of reforming Chinese ad ministrative methods. Corruption has penetrated . to the very core of Chiuefe public life. Still the Japa nese must be supposed to under stand the Chinese problem better han the West does, and if Japan is hopeful: the West need not de spair. -' .. j RICHMOND, Va.. June 10, 1S98.
