LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Editor Peoptff^ftr^ In your issuebf Jan. fd I note the idea of some good farmer*, In reference to the proposed amendment to the it ak law, allowing stock to run at large from Decernberglst to January 31st. Now, Mr. Editor, it Is doubtful In my mind if such an amendment would meet the approval of those very men them selves. Why In my neighborhood tl|e greater portion of the corn and pea crop I* never gathered until December. And again, take the one horse farmer, or the farmer who does his own work, suppose be should be taken siek or some member of his family and there by retard the gathering of hi* crop Must the stock be turned at large to glean his Helds? 1 say no. Under the present stock law, when the weather Is good we can gather our cotton, feel ing that our corn and peas are safe from the gluttonous greed of the starv ed stock that have tmen cooped in a three cornered pen all summer. Now must we be forced to leave onr cotton in the fields and made to gather corn and pea* and split rails to fence fodder stacks, thereby causing xreater h>ss in tlie <’( ° lir t’otton than the stock is worth? Again I say no. If we are > have the stock law, let us have it. ifannni»tiiww. "Ttm said that a half loaf is better than no bread but In till* case If you take half the loaf take it all.

The warlike tone of the official mes sages and other state documents which Have been made public during the past week or ten day* i* calculated to direct public attention to the immediate and inevitable consequences of war. True, it has been said that mankind have en tered upon an era of reit*ou and are no longer to be driven against tbeir fellows in murderous hordes anti slaughtered by thousand* like unreasoning hrutes, yet the general commendation which President Cleveland’s “war messltge” has received Is proof that7,000,000 Uni ted State* citizens of the military age are willing to be so driven at a mo ment’s notice. Mankind of the present age are very docile and tractable creature* a* long as It is to their Interest to.appear “tame” and civilized, but the inomeht the fur is stroked the wrong wav wr are forcibly reminded that the millennium has not | vet daw neu upon our (danet. The fact that there have been but two war* deserving of the name—the Tur- co-Kussian and the late Japanese- Chinese affair—since the time of the Franco-Pr'ussiaR war of Ii70 71—now removed by aqunrter of a century of time—has caused the Christian states man and man of peace to fondly imag ine that civilization ha* eradicated man’s thirst for blood and implanted in it* stead a desire for pnlversal peace. But such fond imaginings are plainly “of the stuff of which dreams are *rte,’-H7irt tbexe vtirromi anr ltkeTy u) he Instantly dispelled at any moment | by the zephyr which heralds the break ing of the hurricane of war. . It is plain that men are still warlike and that wars, in the present state of civilization, cannot eea«e. All that the embers of the dormant warlike spirit need is a puff of excitement to fan them into a devouring flame. Persona who have made sociology, economics and In ternational law a study learn In the very rudiments of those studies that It i« just a* morally certain that nations will quarrel as it is that individuals will. Under these circumstance* there are small hope* of the uttkr extinction of war, or ot lessening the burden in cumbent <m cun-tant preparation for a prospective conflict. The awful cost of war, both in money and human lives, in a great struggle between two of the leading nations of the world cannot be more than roughly approximated, and that only from in ference—by comparing the vital and economic statistic* of the wars of the past.
