We believe, mulike Mr. Morley, that deme. eroor doos tond, for a time at least, to produen millarium, and is a direct onuso of universal military mrvice. As the people become the supreme power in each State they become sausi. tive se to to anfaty of the State which bas he come, so to speak, their own proporty, they distrust foreigners much more than the cul-Pex CENT. per annum. vated clusies do, regarding them with very curious aggregate antipathy, and they are sxoosaively afraid of being either conquered er diskendured. You see the operation of this Jatter feeling even in Americans, who are practically exempt from the danger of inva sian, In who are always ready for war to avenge anything which they cužsikler doroga. Tory to the flug. They are ma zoneitivo tima over the Kings were, and not less. The peoples are ready to make any serilces to propare for their own defouer, and, as theyHE CHARTERED BANK OF INDIA,
Salievo in numbers, insist that great numbers shall be trained. This, balicf ir numbers is A natural instinct of the human mind, and is so strong that scarcely any army, probably ne array but the British, will voluntarily meet another army of the same colour that is visibly and greatly superior a numbers to itself. The soldiers think that an untar task is demanded of them, and that they may be killed in a proportion greator than is required of them by the unwritte laws of military honour. The numbers could not be secured by any system of voluntary enlistment; in the first place, because no State could pay the regular Sata of wages to millions of useless mou," am, in the second place, because, though the European · pooples are brave it is only a class among them who will volun- tarily choose a life so severe as that of the soldier, so entirely opposed to the instinota of an in Instrial period, and involving such chances of audden and painful end. It becomes necessary therefore, as the Terrorists found, and as the American Government found during the Civil War, to rasert to compulsion, and compulsion once adopted must, under the democratie system, be uniteral. It eeums intolerable to man, all of whom can vote, that ona olass should be forged to endure the hateful life of barra and another not, and, consoquently, all subjected to the same rules, the total result being that in a modern deraseratic Stats every uan either is or haa boon a trained soldier, who could, if of fit age and bealth, be made it three 'days' notice a useful coustitment in a regiment. That reenit is a very wonderful one, but it in

is angonctionally a direct cugauce, not of of any religious or scientific impulso working in mon's hearts, but of the democratic methot of providing for and governing the State."

hly differ somewhat from Mr. Morley. We snapot that oven at present while Europe loses nmol by the theso years fo in barracks, it gains a good deal of compensatior from tra proved Lealth, enlarged experience, azda habit of swift abedience which makes all associated action singularly effective. It gains, too, in the virtues which milltary life develops, such as self. sapprules, courage, and a lovaties to idents which the purely industrial üle tende rapidly to dstroy: Universal peace would be as boon to Europa if it turned Europe into a second China. And in thefuture, we cannot doubt that the throe years' resifletics in barracks, under healthy condi Lans, and with an obligation to respect authority, unald, if the democracies chera, ha utilized in Buch a way as to give to the intelligonos, of rhele populations . definite and risible paal forward. These lads in anilcrm might in the intervals of training be taught as if they were in a college, and turned out with an uylount of knowledge which would alter their whole con ception of life and of the world. The attempt. we quite acknowledge, has never yet been- made, except in the roughest way Italy bat it could be made, and when ever it is, the system of conscription will have found fill compensation. We should not say that, of course, if we believed ith some enthusiasts that soldiers would someday be fonud unnecessary burdens on the industry of States; but thou we do not believe it, nor, we imagine, does Mr. Morley. States will quarrel fill the end of time, like individuds, and, like Individuals, they will occasionally quarrel for reasons which will indace them la regard the inwrrention of third parties us impertinent folly. Mr. William O'Brien, for example, bas just stated his opinion that Great Britain and the United States ought to submit the quastion of home rule in Ireland to arbitra- Lion Mr Morley knows history, and ou points understands Englishmen and Irish- Tn and we confess we should like to see the Exion of his face as he reads that fatuous proposal. He would, we think, sen reason in it to doubt whether the readiness of democracies to keep up rales ur navies was due either to a religions impulsser to any, new wave of scientific thought.
