Pwaii MRnqrlvuiia Ortt] life it a battle, beginning at the cradle and ending in the grave. It it a war with nature, yonr own paaeions and your neighbor. Foola and frauds may cry peace, but there is no perfect peace—never wan never will h^ and the child that is raised unprepared for war—un prepared to fight his own battles through life—sets many a thump for his lack of training. , No man ever amounted to much without good war record, and all this bosh about fainting at the sight of / iUta&s or about the horror of blood shed, or the awfulness of taking life amopnts to - nothing ia life’s battle. David of old made his record in shedding human blood i so did Moses and all the other big guns of Bible mention. And Alexander, Bona parte Wellington, Washington, Jack- fan, Brant, Merman—they all killed ‘—t to win their cause, and posed Is yonr wife boss, or do nd kindle the fire every ■A* «i war record. luds, how little, how rcrj i’ll mhnrassrM like knocking n chip off of each Othsr’* iboulder, and the real fight ... couldn't even free the 1 slave without Ihe murder ing of thousands, and the American pfoplf }ui been voting on it for years aim talking about like Dutch uncles to a sick narrow. 1 hear so much about settling i with the ballot box.

Of oouree, the civil govejntnent pretends to be a protection for the Weak and the poor and the unfortu nate, hut is simply a prolection to ' , you get no protection, just get no honor when the poor man’s life is taken to protect the rich man’s property, ana in time of peace the poor man is used to collect more property for the rich. This makes the poor man a very useful article of the strong ? you get up and morning? Do you bring up the children in the fear of the rod, or are you obliged to put the rod on the garret to keep them from breaking it up? Some men get their big reputation and unfading glory through con quest Now, the real fact of a con quest is simply where the'aristocrats lead the poor and unfortunate of oue nation against the poor and unfor nate of another nation; and, which ever side gets chewed up, loses their land, and the aristocratic leaders of the successful army takes possession of it The poor critters who did the fighting get nothing. The poor fools have murdered their poor brethren in battle and stained their hands in human blsod, but they get nothing but a little flattery as a reward. When I shut my eyes and look down the annals of history and view the heroes and high-coCkalorums, I see only a mob of proud aristo crats. whose hands are stained inhuman blood, and whose hearts are as cold and unfeeling as a snake. The whole scheme of the world— whether heathen or civilised nations is to set the poor against the poor, like two old farmers setting their dogs to fighting and betting on the result No odds who wins, it does not benefit either dog. I don’t want to be a hero. I don’t wish to sail in where the bullets fly and get killed at the rate of 213 a month. A man can’t make living wages getting killed at that price, ana the glory and praise that sur- ronnds you when you have your en trails shot out and. both legs cut off close to your ears doesn’t stick to the ribs like steady farm work and boiled jowl and soup beans. But, do yon know? People be lieve as much in conquest to-day as they did away back in the blyody ages when society went in tribes and wore more paint than clothing. Of course it isjnot done in actual epea war, but civil iaw is used as a weapon, and men rob each other le gally of property every day. They etab each other fn the back with a lie, instead of chopping each other up with a club, like in the glorious old days of Sampson. But, do you know, civilised people love to talk war and boast of war recatdi td-day, just as much as the old savages cud r Christian notions cling to the lad der of faith With one hand and at tempt to climb up to heaven, but they figuratively hold tome enemy by the throat with the other hana, and their last prayer is that they may live long enough to kill all their enemies, juit like Joshua of old. Ah, yeel life is a battle, and every rich man pointi to his accumulated wealth with pride and truthfully claima that he gained it by conquest He wrested it from the hands of the toilers In legal warfare, and although there may be no blood itaitu on it, it is moist with the iweat of weary humanity. How is your war record on this soon? Have you piles of loot gob bled In the every day battle of life, to prove that your heart has been hard and your hand greedy, and your mind filled only with eelflah thoughts and that you never showed mercy to the poor whom you looted ? Idunno,! dunno! when the war is all over and Johnny comes march ing home to St Peter, I would just ae soon be a pauper a* a pampered pimp, I don’t believe you can lay down your human scalps at Peter’s feet and demand a premiu m. It may pay to be a big hero in this world—to prove by your wealth that you hard- aned your heart against the cries' of the poor and paid no heed to the hanger of the widow and orphan— that yon had the courage (?) to keep all you could get and brave enough to fight for more—it mj pay to be such a hem in this life, but I doubt whether yon will be put on the pen sion list in the sweet fields of Bden' I doubt whether the millionaires and big heroes can sit around the camp fires in Paradise and toll their big war storiee—tell how they squeezed the last penny out of the laboring people, how they bribed legislatures and run things to suit their own taste. I doubt jt, sir, with doubts as bices goose eggs. Fi.Bi.WAT Mosk. THE WORLD'S FAIR TBE C. M. A D. AND MONON RAIL ROAD THE FINEST ROUTE. Bncklen’s Arnica Salvo.

A solid train carrying through sleepers from Jacksonville, Savannah, Birmipg ham, Atlauta, Chattanooga, Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V. & G. Q. & C., C. II. & D. aud Monon Route to Chicago. You can stop over in (Jincinuati if your ticket reads via the C. H. & D. and Monon Route, by depositing same with the Merchants’ and Man ufacturers’ Association, Chamber of Commerce Building, corner of Fourth and Yins streeis, one block from Fountain Square (the C. H. & D. ticket office in the same bnild- ing)J This enables you to visit the pietnresque “Queen City” at no ad- ditioual cost, and special efforts will bo made to entertain strangers hos pitably and reasonably. The universal verdict of the trav eling public is that the Pullman Safety Veitibnled trains, running every day, “and Sunday too,” via the U. II. & D. and Monon, between Oincinnoti, Indianapolis and Chicago are without doubt “the finest' on earth.” These trains were especially bnilt by the Pullman Company for this service, and embrace every im provement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, observation oars and unexcelled dining car service, afford “all the comforts of home.” Leaving Cincinnati you pace through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks run through the very front door yards of the finest suburban homes in the cou u try. Beyond Ham ilton ami upto Indianspoui, the line is noted for its scenic beauty, A stopover at Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Cdbuneroial Club. This eity is more worthv of a visit than almost any other of its rise in the West, and offers the greatest in ducements to traveler and tourist Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agrl- onltnral and commercial territory, and the ride is one of unporallea comfort and beauty, , Bear lu mind that the C. H. A D. and Monon Route trains all ran via Bornside Crossing, from which point the Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World’s Fair Fair grounds every moment At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which ran every five minutes to the grounds, bat we recommend all persons to go direct ly into the Dearbon Station, which is located in the heart of the city and from which all street ear lines converge, then go directly by oar or cab to your hotel or hoarding T-'.ary, First locate you reelf 5 taow where apd how you are to live while in Chicago. Get the locality firmly fixed in your mind, befoye going to the World’s Fair by any of the nu merous convenient ways; the cable cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central li. R., suburban trains and the steamboats afford am ple accommodations for all possible visitors, and is but five minutes ride from the busiuess portion of the city to the grounds. Take your breakfrst down town, buy your lunch at the grounds and take your supper down town. If yon follow these suggestions you will save money. The facilities for serving lunch at the World’s Fair Grounds are extra ordinary and the prices are cheaper than at your own home, but breakfast and supper should be taken down town, or at your boarding house. Tbe World’s Fair is already the most astounding and stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, aud a day’s visit will afford more delight and instruction than can be possibly obtained in any other way or by the same expenditure of money.
