BOSTON, JAN.-FEB., 1888. 8. B. HOWARD, . ...... EDITOR. -Hon. Edward S.- Tobey,. the President of this Society, after several weeks confinement at his Brookline home, on account of temporary illness, is' in his office at 19 Milk Street, Boston, in his usual health, and at the time of this writing, is. on a business visit to New York City. -We are rejoiced to find Mr. J. E. Farwell, for many years a friend of peace, printer of our periodicals and member of our Executive Committee, after six months indisposition, again at his business post of duty. -If anything can completely'tire.decent people .of ir rulers, it is the patronage of the Mayor of Boston d the Prince of Wales of John L. Sullivan, -a former ken :saloon keeper in Boston, who now fights and elly and successfully bruises and maims men for pay. me on you Mayor I Shame on you future king of land I Better an incurable sore in the throat, like t of the German Crown Prince, than an indelible irch on your influence. -It is hinted that our Government Officials express t that the Memorial from England should not have nated from the Government of that country. -While we re that regret and see ' readily that such a memorial d have relieved our Government of the responsibility being the first Government to move in the matter of a eat policy of international arbitration, no one can surprised that the Conservative or Tory Government England should fail to act. It is the people of England t want to reduce armies and navies and substitute itration for war. The people of America want the e thing. What will Governments do about it? William Jones, Secretary of the London Peace Soci- arrived safely on the Servia at Liverpool, Dec. 12. ,Committee of that Society met Dec.- 19, Henry ard, M. P., presiding and passed the following vote: The Committee of the Peace Society cordially welcome their esteemed secretary, Mr. William Jones, on.his from the 'United States. They- congratulate him the very friendly and encouraging reception accorded and to the principles he advocated in that country ; they gratefully appreciate the excellent service he thus rendered to the cause of peace. -The Italian Government has been asked to act as arbitrator between England and Spain, in connection with a collision between two ships. Signor Crispi has authorized Count Maffei, the Italian Minister at Madrid, to accept this honorable mission. -Col. T. W. Higginson, who occupies the front rank .among literary men, writes in Harpe's Bazar, I felt like taking down the swords from above my fireplace and hiding them away forever, when first called upon to explain to my little girl what they meant and for what they stood. Better take them down and beat them into plow-shares or some smaller implement of husbandry. Those swords stand for patriotism and self-sacrifice for the nation's sake. But to reach these objects, so dear to good men, they must cut and stab and hack and wound and kill. We would rather put above the fire- place the hoe with which a father tilled the ground. There is no necessity that loving fathers or loving mothers. should open to the tender minds of little girls and boys such horrors, except they would horrify them. -The eminent lecturer, Joseph Cook, began the thir- teenth course of Boston Monday Lectures in Tremont Tem- ple, Boston, Feb. 6, at noon. The subject of these lectures, justly popular with the Christian public, is, God in the Bible, with preludes on.leading reforms. The new periodical, Our Day, the prospectus of which appears in this paper, will contain full and accurate reports of these lectures. One question submitted by a friend of the Bible and of peace is, Is universal peace on earth consistent with the character of God and his moral teaching as re- corded.in the Old Testament? The answer by a man of Mr. Cook's learning and great ability will be eagerly looked for by some minds that reconcile with more or less difficulty the instructions given Joshua and those impart- ed by Jesus Christ. -The Universal Peace Union is vigorously attempting to end justly and beneficially to all concerned the Reading railroad and coal strike.. A large meeting was held under its leadership in a Jewish synagogue in Philadelphia, Jan. 13, which was addressed by A. H. Love and other able speakers. -The new army bill which has passed its second reading in the German Reichstag is sure to get a majority oif the final vote. Although its terms had been supposed to be understood, everybody was surprised to learn that it' increases the strength of the army by 700,000 men and that the initial cost of putting the change into effect, not considering the subsequent annual expense, will be $70,- 000,000. Fora poor country like Germany this is simpil a terrific sacrifice.
