ttrjuB on the War. “Warisharah; it is attended by hardships ,attd suffering. It means a vast expenditure qfgnen and money. We may veil pray Sox the coming of $e time, promised in Jboiy writ, when the spears shall be beaten into pruning hooks #t:d the swords into plow shares, but .universal peace cannot come .until justice is enthroned throughout the world. Jehovah deals with nations as he deals with gtmn and far both he decrees that the wages Pf sin is death. jUntil the right has triumphed in every land and love reigns in every heart, governments must, as a last resort, appeal ;to force. As Jong .as the oppre&sor is deaf to the voice «f reason, so long must Uje citizen accustom hisshoulder to the umsket and hts hand ,(o -the saber. “Our nation exhausted diplomacy tin its .efforts to secure a peaceable solution of the .Cuban question, and only took up arms .when it wa- compelled to choose between •war aiid servile acquiescence in .cruelties which would have beeu a disgrace to barftairisin. “History will vindicate the |>osKion taken jby the United States in the war .with Spain.

LL-LJL»»Jttil.,l,!SJLL_ 'JJEi'LJLJiL!_ Tlw i ffeel «f War Taxes. The effect on iadiyblfutfe of the new war revenue hill fc something that a very small proportion of the general pa blit- has given any thought to. The importers, manufacturers, jobbers, (retailers, .in fact, all merchants who hand their wares over to the general public for consumption, have not j ; been so remiss in this matter, juul the result is that most of those who come in for heavy taxes under the new bill .have arranged things so that their share of tee war revenue will be paid by .the consumer. Then theta •are many other things in every day use by the general public, such as bank checks, deeds, mortgages, conveyances, notes u*ul steamship tickets that the individual hintself must pay the taxon. An interesting feature of the new- law is the new stamps it is going to put into use | in this country. Then* will be hundreds of | different kinds. For .weeks the government ! engravers have been making designs and | submitting them totlie treasury (Wjwrtment | for approval. It.is*ud that all qf this part of the work has been completed, and tliat the government .plants assisted by the ! various bank uote companies, ace hard at | work trying to turn out enough stamps to j meet the dema.nds.of the first .meek in the j life of the new law. The demand during that week will be tremendous. Every bank cheqfc must bear a stamp. Most npig know that there are many bank checks issued daily in this city alone. In the entice country there may be a million. Vet the stamping of the bunk checks is just one item iu the list. paring the civ*! war and away up into the seventies, when inhere was a tax on back checks, the stamping was expedite by the banks, which, entered into an agreement with the government by means of which they were allowed to stamp themselves whole books of checks.. These books were sold to the depositqcs for the value the stamps they contained. Whether this method will be adopted now is a question. If it is not. the debitor will have to buy his owu stamps and jftjcfc them on hiiu>elf.t As the distribution nf these stamps is iu the bauds .of the collector of internal revenue, they will naturally be on sale in the .offices of the district collectors. Hanks also will keep them. The whole thing will eventually revive ;itself into a perfect system. The interesting question is whether the government, in the short time it has to get ready, will be able to supply enough stamps to meet the demand of the first few days. If it is not. there will be endless ■confusion and interference with business. However, the government is not generally remiss in such matter!*, and tb«K* is little j danger of such $ breakdown.
