President Eliot, of Harvard university, In a recent address called attention to the startling fact that the world was not exactly growing better. In fact from hte standpoint it is actually growing worse and the 19th century ho puts down as one of the worst In history, lis says: Wi may think we have advanced a good deal over the centuries that have gond before, but If we look back wo shall find that the 19th century was the blood lest of all modern cycles. We thought that the advent of long .range guns would prevent hand to hand conflicts, but take the war of the country illustrate this same fact. The ouuniry is now overridden ly vvouoji-oliewhich under free institution hae become a nienuce. Look at the monopoly of the labor union, which is entirely created by the freedom ot association. In England and in our country the monopoly of the combines is created precisely as it was vutre than four centuries ago." Dr. Eliot draws the picture too daikly. The industrial conditions ul this country are constantly improving under the agitation of the sentiment to settle troubles by arbitration, and certainly the latter part of the century as far as America was concerned bad a record of freedom from strife that no other like period of the length of that following the civil war can show. Even in the short struggle between this country and Spain the desire uf the republic to cud the war speedily and with as little lua as possible was all the time apparent, and the fatalities Were uuch less than any like conflict in modern times ran disclose. What President Eliot, and others, who prate about the world growing worse, should do, is to encourage the spirit of Grant, McKinley aud Roosevelt, as a feature of American development, to spread the doctrine of peace and good will among men. The example set by America .towards doing away with war aud bloodshed as s means of settling disputes but ween nations, Is certainly having its influence In other lands, slid those especially who have the educational part of the youth iu hand should give every possible aid to thia effort uf our rulers to keep down strife and to help to enlarge the sentiment of arbitration. s, to tury to send from Fan l'ranci.-c-o New York as from Buffalo.
