To THK Kimtok:
Now while so much is being said
and written in regard to expansion
or imperialism, as the non-progressive
one have been pleased to term
it, I think this an opportune moment
in which to say a word in defense of
expansion.
Through ccuutlcs aes there never
has been an it stance where a nation,
that achieved any degree of . power,
has not bettered itself by grasping
eveiything possible, and w hether or
riot they were the embodiment of
good, it has been one of the most
potent factors In the spread of civili
zation. Just now, when the two
great Anglo-Saxon nations are strug
gling against a vastly inferior, but a
fanatical and narrow-minde 1 people,
to supplant semi civilization with the
most advanced stage of civilization
the world has yet seen, it furnihes a
striking example of obit Kerne did
in the medieval times when she in
vaded England, and what England
in turn did several centuries later
when she laid the foundation for our
own treat country.
The L'nitcd States has often been
condemned by many of her own
citizens fur her actions in regard to:
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, particularly tLe latter, cn
account of the bloodshed entailed in
the subjugation of the Tugal tribe,
who compute one-fifth of the popu
lation. Anyone wlo gives utterance to
uiloyal criticisms against our coun
try's policy certainly shows traces of
a diseased brain, for were the Islands
not thrown into our hands by unfor
sccn circumstances in legitimate war
fare? Were they not in themselves
a very rich archipelago and a valu
able acquisition to our country's
r.ceds in the way of a nrval ren
dezvous, and commercially? Had
they not been poorly governed and
oppressed, ai:d did not America offer
them a belter government than they
had ever dreamed of? Does any
sace person think it politic for the
Malay race to offer suggestions to
the I'nited States in the way of a
democratic fcrm of government?
And now is it better for us to
abandon the 1'biiippinei after loos
ing 1000 men, and spend inz a larae
amount of money, and leave ten
millions of people in the clutches of
fanaticism? Every American should
protest. And more than this, behind
ii all ibero is a principle: an example
to ret. Tradition shows that our own
great country has never jet been
ballled by circumstances, and our
national Ih'Pot has surely been in
more danger than now, when the
Tagal tribe, seconded by a few
'antics-' within our own borders,
assail it.
J-et us go back to the time wh.cn
the Spanish controlled the Inlands,
when the thuir.b-scre r and stocks
were in evidence; when everyone
had to pay a cedula, personal or
bead tax for the privilege of living;
when the people were taxed for
Hero is story of Admiral Dewey
which It is believed has not before
appeared fn print. When in the fall
of lS'JT he was an applicaut for the
command of the Asiatic squadron bis
official request was not viewed with
any degree of favor by tLe depart
ment, and be was politely (for they
always do olticial things, no matter
how disagreeable, in a most sublime
ly courteous manner) refused the
assignment. Finding (hat he could
not make it through official circles
he tried political ones, with the
result that through influence be re
ceived the coveted command. It
was not the Intention, however, of
the department to alio hire to de
part uniebuked for having forced
his orders, and he was summoned
one day to the presence of the secre
tary, who said to biui : 4,Coniuiodoro
Dewey, your orders to the command
of the Asiatic squadron have just
been issued, but against the jud.
ment of the department, which docs
not feel that you hold the proper
! qualifications for such a position.
ami which also deprecates the fact
that you have employed political in
fluence to secure the assignment."
"So," replied the commodore in a
musing tone. "May I, Mr. Secre
tary, ask J ou one question In reply
to the statement you have made?"
"Most certainly." "Then," went ou
the commodore, "if you so disap
piove the use of oliticr.l influence
to secure personal ends, how did you
achieve your present osition in the
cabinet, Mr. Secretary ? ' The answer
of the department is not recorded.
It would appear that they were cog
niztut of the fact. Brownsville
Timet.
This is scarcely possible, says the
Statesman. The Knglisb natiou can
not afford iU The llrilish have put
their hands to the plow and they
cannot turn back. They have the
power to ultcily crush the contend
ing Itoers, and they will use it. This
may be done at feaiful cost of life
and enormous expenditure of treas
ure. Hut a proud and rich, and
mighty nation cannot afford to count
the cost. However much any one
may wish it were otherwise, we can
not tee npon what hypothesis he cau
predict a "crushiug defeat" for the
British, in the end. It cannot be, if
no powerful nation interferes.
Comet says that the "honorable
Cuban should place before himself
the ideal of the republic, remember
ing that every day on which the
sun sets until tne estamis'imcnt or
the republic is an injury to the
Cubans." Every icasonable person
who has been in Cula, however,
knows that the Cubans are not yet
ready for self-government. (len.
Lee, a man who has investigated the
matter on the ground, and who was
relied on to givo great aid to the
anti-annexationists, sas self-government
would bo an injury to Cuba at
the present time. He wants an
American nroclcctorato or annexa
tion. There is a very strong prob
ability that when the Cubans do their
voting on the question of their future
government the annexation side will
have a majority.
"THE TIM HER KIS'J.
The people ot the Pacific Noith
Aguinaldo, in his proclamation, is
correct in saying tint congress will
meet in a few week ', but he is wrong
in his intimation that congress will
veto what he and his Democratic
friends call tho "imperialist" policy.
Aguinaldo't mistake is natural. Some
one of ITI a allies probably has told
! him the Republican plurality in the
House will bo only fourteen or fif-
teen, and this has given him hoe
that congics will order the with-
west have none of the narrow spiiit lrawal of the American liooin, so as
which influences and sometimes
governs older communities in their
treatment of newcomers. Out here
the invitation is general to home
seekers and investors, says the
Spokesman-Review. There exists a
perjietual welcome to all who will
come here and take farms, orchards,
garde ns, ranges ami mining rl.tims.
Capital which will show a disposition
to make permanent investments nr.d
engage in new industries is waited.
But withal this hospitable spirit,'
the public will not take with gratifi
cation the new? that Fiederick
Weteibauscr, "the lumlicr king of
America," has paid tU.OOO.OOO for
1,000.000 acres of timber lands in
the Pacific Northwest. Americans
do not take enthusiastically to great
landed estates of a million acres
bought, as the announcement bus it
in Ibis case, because the buyer "be
lieves that timber is bound to
advance in that Western country,
and that he will realize a handsome
profit." The gigantic deal is specu
lative, and it does not aniiear that
Mr. Weyerbauser contemplates in
connection with it the establishment j
of a single new industry. It is I
nothing lets than a gigantic private
forest reserve.
Illustration is required to enable
the mind to grasp the magnitude of!
this transaction. A million acres
could be subdivided into 10,00 trai ts
of 100 acres each. It i sufficient to
100.000 men a 10-acre tract
to allow him to massacre all the
American civilians which he would
lind in Manila or other parts of the
islands. Before congress is in session
many days, however, the rebel chief
will learn that his allies arc power
less to help him.
AguinaMo was quickly trans
formed by the preliminary rcjiort of
the Philippine commission from the
George Washington of the . l'bilii
pines to an ignorant and merccrnary
half savage. He will be changed by
the military operations now being
commenced from a renegade to a
runnygade,
Aguinaldo will probably be sur
prised to see the thousands of I'nited
States soldiers proceeding to busi
ness, notwithstanding the elections
being helil and the imernling meet
ing of congress. It will mix up hit
ideas ol our government mere thsn
thev have been mixed before.
