ly and courteously by Great Britain and her allies, and some-. what tardily by Germany. But nothing has eventuated and there is no indication that in the near". fnture any change of disposition on the part of the belligerents is likely to occur to bring about a discussion of terms of peace at The Hague, in the United States for anywhere else. All that hsa resulted, and it is of little moment to those who are concerned in the great struggle of life and death, is that the United States, aa sa avowed advocate of peace, has teen placed at this time by the President in a ocnsistent position before the world. For the present at least the dove of peace has had her wings clipped and the world". is learning the lesson the peace movement has been teaching in the most difficult and costly way.

Daily Press.

War Forecasts, During the last few years many attempte have been made to foreshadow what the next great war would be like; all, in the light of present experience, being utterly abadowy and unrest. In the first place, the war between Great Britain and Germany which was felt to be coming was ulways depicted as starting, if not closing, with a great naval battle in the North Sea. But no such battle has yet eventuated. There has, it is true, been an engagement, almost of the nature of a cutting-out operation, but of battle in the true sense of the word there has been none; though it may be too much to say that a great naval bottle will be avoided. Naturally, it is to the sea that an Englishman first looke when he enters the lists with a foreign country, for, as Carlyle somewhat surprisingly admita,The English almost sa if by nature can sail, and fight, in ships; cannot well help doing it", but if the enemy's ships refuse to come forth, preferring, the protection of land forts to the protection of their own guns, there can be no naval battle worthy of the name. Curionely enough, our romanticiste did not foresee that this policy was the only one possible for. Germany if she desired to preserve her fleet, since the odds against her were too great to permit of any hope of victory.

The Colony's Financial Condition.

It will be seen that the opium monopoly has proved even more lucrative than was anticipated, the estimates showing that the revenue from this source was much larger than was expected. Even with a continuance of the present high price for the drug it is believed that the revenue from this source will next year be even larger than it has been this year.The revised estimate shows that $4,000,000 is the figure estimated. The items set down for expenditure may, His Excellency hints, be subject to curtailment owing to the unsettled condition of affairs. That is but to be expected, and, indeed, some of the tohemes in hand and others proposed might be shelved to a more opportune time without any seriona harm resulting. In that matter the Government, we may be certain, will not be slow to sot in the direction, most likely to lead to the welfare of the Colony as a whole.
