1 . \ f TUB UNION TIMES, Christmas Las conic and gone. To s that it is forgotten would be sayi jig too uiucli. The busy time that a'ways follows very soon gets ChristCD as out of the mind6 of most of us, but it is a time of myth, a time of dissipation and a time of events, and j within the week, no doubt, things h: ve happened with this one and that om , that will remain forever a pleasant recollection or a hideous at d stubborn remembrance. < )nc word about it: If wo have made unstukes and are smarting ui der the lash of Nature's never,failir g punishment, the pain may be sov re. .?ut the experience ought to be turmd o profit. And those of us who have lone well, ?n have done the best we can, ami have Nature's approvirg smile, that experience also ouirht to io worth something. It will some, times Le well to remember these things. i'HE WAIt The v.ar scare has somewhat a>K.ted but the cause which ihi^ht .ead to a war has not been removed I .n any measure at all. Although it ^ .las been evident to everyone from he very outset that either Engl..ml . >i the United States must yield tl.eii H'int it' war is to be averted, yet o far neither power scorns disposed .o back down. There is however a ?n aked difference of uciitiuient in "* t\ i 1 w * / tM V vvuui i iiOj tlliiUll^ lllo pCl'JMt' at ia.'g?J^ if the press dispatches aic .0 receive full credence. The people of this country seem determine 1 to stand up squarely lor right and th-} Monroe doctrine. If it means peace, why all right, though it does i .item that there are not a few who w >uld like to try a round or two at war anyway just to show our spuuk. [fit means war, they aro ready to shoulder the musket. lieccnil^ there has been a little weakening on the other side of the water. An able French journalist said at the commencement of the ) trouble that England would back down, if it could he beaten into the i a* ad of the English ministry that the United States meant what she said. F.om the changed tone of the English press it looks like his prediction w-llcomo true. llis opinion will c rtainly le tested, as there is no probability of any change of opinion 1 oi. this side of the water. An English paper proposes a , M in asure to get England out of the h de she has gotten herself in and at tl esamc time save her honor. It suggests a commission to settle the Venezuela boundry dispute, with ncWL-rs less thfln those of urhifr'ifi.rs \ It says that the Chief Justices of the} two countries might settle the matter j u:\icably ami easily. That would he j alright. It would amount to an arbitration and the name of the c m j I mission is of little moment. It 's 1 hard to sec how that would Bare En ...nd\s honor. It would seem n.oe. 'lonorah'e to us if she would ar. i ;nowlrdge ' i error and submit die matter to a ration, than to si <r. 1 to her nomi.ial position, at the s.um yeihhng all the pomts, except a na i", 11 at the United States has stood ior. 1 Idat position is too childish foi aj ? great Natjoa like Great liritian and it will doubtless never he thought of. j . Another election and a change of the English ministry will probably ' solve the problem tor peace, En ! gland's manufacturers and tradesmen 1 will not suffer a war between the 'wo countries. They will bring such j argument to hear that the demands ] of the United Spates will virtually he j accccded to. We, as a nation, have \ little to fear from a war; England, everything, Russia an Erauce both would doubtless give us diplomatic suppart and the former would in all probability take the opportunity to settle oft*some old score with England. 1 \ t We are united in territory and inteicst, whi/e her possessions are scattered over the whole earth.
