When men have the intelligence to see clearly that there is nothing to be gained by war—that fighting eats up all the profits of the trade fought for and many times as much—they will no longer fight for trade. But men do not fight for trade alone. They fight because they get angry, or be cause they hate one another, or be cause they think it glorious to conquer and dominate. Therefore, men must be elevated morally as well as intellect ually before they will stop fighting. They must learn that the command of the Almighty, “Thou shalt not kill,” was addressed to men collectively as well as individually. Now trade serves to make men acquainted and to break down prejudices and antipathies. It enlists their enlightened self-interest on the side of peace. It holds them in restraint and affords an opportunity for their moral nature to assert itself. It educates them morally and intellect ually and brings them to abhor war. with its looting, its slaughter, its hate and all its cruelty. Education makes for peace, but it must be education of the heart and the conscience as well as the intellect before it will put an end to international murder en masse. About 10,000,000 rattle are now to be found in the Argentine republic. They are said to be all descendants of eight cows and one bull which were brought to Brazil in the middle of the sixteenth century. -• '-- ’ *----—. ■ —i A VIEW OF MUSIC HALL WHERE CONVENTIONS MEETS.

Two Th.miantl of Tbcin (Jallop for E*p Hub Army A|(al»st the tloors. LINCOLN, Neb., July 1 —During the last two years Nebraska farmers and stockmen have sold to England over 2.0U0 horses for service in the war in South Africa. The price paid has varied from $30 to $90, but the gen eral average has been $35 per head. Most of these horses came from the western part of the state and were sold at South Omaha or Kansas City, where tha English purchasing agents maintained headquarters. There is still a good demand for the tough an imals known as "war hordes.” The dealing just now is inactive, but it is said that the purchasing season will soon open and that there will be a ready market for ull horses that can be supplied. When England began purchasing horses in America the agents demand ed young, thoroughbred animals and the price paid sometimes went as high as $100, but they took only animals that were selected with gre't care, and were sound in . very bone and filler. The extravangance or these op erations was soon demonstrated and the English agents in America were in structed to lie less particular in select ing th" animals. Horses are extreme ly sensitive to climatic hanges and conditions and it was found that even the best American horses could sur vive only about six weeks of active per vice in the South African war. The agents began experiment with common stock and it was found that tlie ordinary plains or range horses from Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana or other western territory could do just as effective work and live as long in South Africa as the high-priced thor oughbred horse.
