at intervals for three centuries, and now the English people have decided that the best thing to do is to unconquer it. The price the United States will pay in case of war with Mexico will be to put, for at least a generation or two, its own social problems in the background. The "welfare of the American people, the government of them, the problem of their cities, the education of their children, will be relegated, ’ he says, “to obscure paragraphs on the inside pages of newspapers and will be attended to only as secondary problems by thofje who have their hands full in looking after the problems arising in the new dependencies to the south.” All this, of course, is based on the supposition that serious intervention will be undertaken. That is not the purpose of the administration, but it is well to consider just what it will mean, as the influences develop that tend to force the adoption of such policy.—lndianapolis Star.
