It is a trite saying that the world is governed too much. No attempt is ever niado to enforce one-half the laws on the statute books, and the operative laws are nowhere invariably executed. Yet the people clamor loudly for interference by the government in reference to all manner of questions concerning which the State has no authority. To-day we have a demand tor compulsory education and for recognition of a popular religion tomorrow we may hear a cry for a law regulating the value of wheat and the rent of houses just as we now have a statute establishing the price which may be paid for borrowed money. A prominent citizen, a leading local politician, gravely told us some time since that there could bo no hope for the youth ol the country unless a law were passed compelling every boy to learn a trade!

It seems impossible for people to learn that it is not practicable to regulate the conduct of one's life by compulsive law. Tho best acts of men are not tho outgrowth of statuto, but ol their own good Impulses. There is no enactment requiring men to be charitable, to honor parents, ortp love their children, yet men do all these things as much without law as they would if liable to a criminal prosecution, for direliction therein.

The useless and unnecessary laws arc almost in variably tho statutes which are not executed. Of these, the most prominent are the usury laws and the Sunday laws. The former is steadily evaded, snd is practically inoperative a spasmodic effort is frequently made to enforce the latter in so far as it effects liquor-sellers, but tb«authorities invariably breakdown in the attempt. 8a ath rest is necessary for the preservation of health, and the religious observance of one day in •even is a beautiful custom, but it is preserved by legislative enactment no more than statute would preserve the love ot parents for children.

In time the people will require their law-makers to sweep from the statute books all useless and inoperative laws. Then we can hope for the full enforcement of statutes required by the public weal.

LAW FOR THK NA TION& Mr. David Dudley Field la the aujfho*of an "International Oode" which tritata of-Provisions for the preservstlon of "Peace." At this time when Central Europe Is Impoverished by a disastrous contest, and when unprincipled schemers in Great Britain and Amerioa boldly advocate war between these two nations in a ertaln contingency, it is well to examine Mr. Field'sargument. Of course all advocates of peace will l»e met in the outset by conservatives who assert that wars can never be done away with, that they are natural ex plosion*, necessary for the good of nations as arc thunder and lightning for the purification of the atmosphere. This class of thinkers believe that the world can be no better in the future than it has been in the past. This position bears its own refutation when we compare the civilization of to-day with that of any previous period reached by the knowledge of men.

Mr. Field says that tl military establishment of Europe during peace has, in round numbers, 3,000,000 of men and when placed on a war footing it swells to 5,000,000. These men are all withdrawn from industrial pursuit* where they could contribute to the comfort and wealth of mankind. Their support requires the labor of as many more so thiit it may be down that the standing armies of 1 h:.t continent impose upon the nations burdens equal to tho labor of 10,000,000 of able-bodied men. The whole population of that quarter of the world is 240,000,000,of wtiiph it is Computed that, one in five is able to do the full days work of a man that is, 48,000,000 in all. Therefore, one-fifth, at least, of the flower of Europe is set aside to make war. This is an unnecessary waste of force. No nation is benefitted by it all are bdrdened. The burddns can be taken off by common consent. The only point to be considerld is the minimum to which the force can be reduced.

Mr. Field assumes that enliglftened nations are just as much bound to avoid was #Put^P/^

'ana impartial tribunal aS individuals are to resort to courts of law rather than tq pistpl and t^udgtfoft. He as sum&s"€hlu^be pfebflc opfiHon of the civilized world will ultimately—and at ^v#i^(^anl^aj|^1rB^nii^,t^e importance of international regulations, imposed by universal consent, binding on all and e-nforcible on any party to the compact by the united power of all the rest. In case oi disagreements between two nations that cannot be otherwise adjusted, his proposed Code provides for a Joint High Commission.

If this means l.ailSj then there is to be formed within twelve months a "High "Tribunal of Arbitration," to be constituted as follows:

Each nation receiving the notice shall within three months thereafter,transmit (o the nations in controversy the names o. 'our persons and from the list of such persons the nation in controversy shall alternately, In the alphabetical order of their own names, as indicated iti Article 16, rejcci' one after another, till the number is reduced to sevent which seven shall cpnstltutethe tribunal. llT

The proposition is simply that nations shall apply to their intercourse with each other some plain rules oi Christianity. It is not ucccssary thai wo should go on imbruing Sur hands in tho blood ot our brethren forever. War between,nations is as useless as the code duello among men. Public senti ment branded men as dishonorable two or three decades ago who would not accept invitations to settle personal difficulties by tho use of deadly weapons.

If there bo a personal devil, something we very much doubt, he laughs with joy when men speak of war as a glorious thing. War is not honorable or good unless it be that the Crucified One of Calvary was a bad teacher.

"BILT/V BUTTON," a correspondent ol the Journal, is very severe upon Tb Mail because it is opposed to vasi appropriations for a naval armament. The nostrils of this correspondeni breathe fire and slaughter. Beneath the withering influence of his sanguinary Invective we feel how utterly insignificant are peaceful men and measures. It must be that this brave warrior who sounds in altisonous notes the praises of Mars was himself the hero 01 many hard-fought conflicts in that recent time when all war-loving citizens had such excellent opportunity to bare their breasts to the foe. Wedoubi not that corpses, "thick as leaves in

Vallambrosa," strew the pathway honored by his martial tread. And yet, and yet, wo ar in some way reminded of a quotation from that celebrated philosopher, Mr. J. Billings: "I hav al ways notist that the men who blow most about what they would a done il they had been tl^ro, JiumafiB uevcr to 1 1

THK OFFICE-H UNUR Y. The Repu bllean elana went up to In dlanspolis on Thursday to nominate a state ticket and get ready for the party work of the year. It Is safe to say that no large portion of the delegates were disinterested workers with no personal schemes to advanoe. Your unselfish party worker is rarely found in these piping times of political peace. When you see a very sealons partisan fuming and fretting about, you will be perfectly safe in betting all your lucre that ho has bis own little axe to grind, tbongh be hide it ever so cunningly. There are yearnings big In the hearts of Republican partisans in this state to fill not less than twenty thousand offices. About nineteen thousand of these gentlemen will find their aspirations "Like dead sea fruits thut tempt the eye,

But turn to Mshes on the lips." The experience of two important successive elections here has proven that the full Republican streugth canuot be polled for nominees of a county convention. Republican voters seem to have arrived at the conclusion that caucuses and conventions are swindles. We huil as auspicious of better days this scorning by the people of the wiles of the politicians. Soiae system of convention for the nomination of candidates for high offices will, perhaps, always be necessary but we hope that the day is not far distant when voters wiM rtseut as an insult to. their intelligence and understanding the attempt of any political party to foist upon them nominees for inferior offices. These positions should not be filled by

men because they are Democrat?, nor because they are Republicans, but because they are honest and capable. Away with the small contemptible idea that the obieot of parties is to fill the offices. The ablest'and staunchest Republican newspaper in the land has said repeatedly that the party is better off when the Democracy hold the minor offices, because Republicans can then attack and not be made to defepd the corruption which seems to be a pepessary adjunct oi place-holding.

The long-tjuffering ^vo^er^, of all parties, ancl of th*e Republican party in particular, seem disposed to declare independence from the small tyranny ot political tricksters and traders. The time cannot be far distant when their euiandipatioji Mil 1 be comptetj, and "when mln shall be chbsen toIbCarofflces because of their merits, and not because of their ability to pack conventions and manage priiiiary meetings.

-MRS. DAHLGREEN and Mrs. General Sherman are the leading feminine opponents of Woman Suffrage in America. The former in a letter to Mrs. Eiiz tbeth Cady Stanton only two weeks ago tid (hat "the preservation of "female modesty requires a,woman who wants to utter herself to the publie to do so not with her tongae but with her pen."

On Tuesday last Mrs. Dablgfeeu appeared before the House Committee on Naval Affairs,and made in her own behult a lengthy argument in support of a claim she has made for an appropriation of two hundred thousand dollars in payment for the use by the government of the cannon invented by hor-husband. Her speech was so goo4 that the Committee seemed more than half convinced of the justice of her claim. Let a heart-broken public weep over the sacrifice of her feminine modesty" by Mrs. Dahlgreen who has consented to harangue men just to secure the paltry sum of $200,000.

SENATORS MORTON and Shurz have been vieing with each other in the Senate during the week in sweet things said concerning the German population, the vote of which will figure largely this year. These gentlemen cannot compliment our German citizens too strongly but it is a little mortifying to know that Mr. Morton's laudations would have been given to the French if our Gallic population were large as the Teutonic, and the latter small as the French element now In our midst. 1

A volume of poems by Mrs. Hester A. Benedict, many of whose songs have been published in The Mail, will be issued early in March. Mrs. Benedict is young in the field of authorship. Her promise, however, is of the rarest, and her pathway leads toward the laurels of the mountain-top. We are sure that the readers of The Mail will receive her first book with kindly greeting. iJ

MR. MORTON has stated in the Senate that the American government gave aid and coiifort te the Kaiser by sympathy for his successful effort to crush out the Republic in France. This is a good remark for a man who desires to influence German votes, but it is a poor speech for one who cares anything for the honor of his government.

TKNKTSON IS writing a poem on the subject of the Prinoe of Wales1 illness. With such a subject he can hardly add to the laurels won by his welcome to the "sea-king's daughter from over "the sea," or by the verses in honor of the "Six Hundred" which made the Light Brigade Immortal.

THE Labor Reform convention at Columbus, Ohio, nominated David Davis, of the U. S. Supremo Court, for President, and Joel Parker ot New Jersey, for Vice President. Judge Davis was formerly a Republican, but recently he has been considered an available democratic candidate for the Presidency.

Here is an opportunity for the Democratic party to make a new departure in which the ghost of a chance for success may be visible to the naked eye. Let it attach itself as a tail to Austin M. Puett's Labor Reform kite. There is just enou^ of humbug and demagoguery in this Columbus movement to commend it to the helpless leaders of a disconsolate party.

THK Labor Reform convention at Columbus takes a position almost diametrically opposed to the International which is fightiug the battle of the' toilers in Europe. The Columbus convene tlon treated with scorn a resolution declaring that "the true labor reformer of "to-duy knows no distinction between "race, color, sex or nationality." This resolution oontained the very marrow of the faith of the Ipternational. The arms 6f this organisation stretch out to embrace all humanity. The Columbus affair was managed in the interest of demagogues! Let no laboring man be deoeived by its shallow pretences.

THE swindle known as the Labor Reform Party hus resolved that 'Hhe importation oftJhlnese laborers is an "evil, and should be prohibited by legislation.'? .-Men claiming to be the special champions and protectors oflabor are impostors when they advodate plans for the' persecution of laborers because of Color or nativity. The toilers of America must renudfate these false leaders or their cause will become infamous.

THE popular unwillingness to visit upon murderore the extreme penalty which law and immemorial custom has devised, has shown Itself in the Kausas Legislature in a bill providing that no one shall be hung until one year after conviction, and not then unless the Governor issues a warrant for the execution, which he is under no obligation |o.sdo at all.

JUDGE DAVID DAVIS accepts the Labor Reform nomination. If the Liberal Republicans will endorse the Columbus ticket, and if tho Democratic national convention will ratify this action we may yet have a Presidential fight which will bo not altogether oneS

Tmi are in Indbi about twenty millions of people wheare nominally Mahometana,out of a papulation of two hundred millions. Ihree generations ago the Mahofoetana wave aa much the rulers of India as tho British are now. They hare been replaced by the English, and are now left with little power or influence. The preaent mutinous elements in India, culminating in the murder of the Governor General, appear to be Mthonwtan, not Hindoo. Many Mahometans are known to be hostile to the ruling raoe, and all of them are suspected ot disloyal sootiments. Religious fknaficism in the farther East seems likely to burst forth in ablaze of massacre and rapine like the insurrection of 1857, when Jessio Brown, listened for "the slogan of the
