WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7. 1808 Aguinaldo's Filipino insurgents threaten to make war upon the United States, it is said, but this is probably a mistake. Whatever disturbance these insursenls mav create under The Berlin papers see the destiny j our lorm of government will be at- AMERICAN DESTINY. of the United States in clearer light than some Americans. 4,One good feature of the present foreign polic of the United States," says the Ber lin Post, "cannot be denied, namely: The marching forward, careless ot -what other powers say. The f ramers of this policy are displaying such activity that those of other countries cannot follow them. . The most characteristic feature of American expansion is the effort to get com mand of the future commercial high ways of the world." The Post ad mits that the later steps in this pro gram have taken the world by sur prise, and predicts that further sur prises are in store. - Benjamin Kidd, the celebrated English economist, in an article in the December Atlantic, calls the at tention of Europe to what struck him as a most remarkable manifestation of a people's faith. In traveling through the Western states just after the close of the war between Spain and the United States, he found the question of annexation or control of the Philip pines under discussion ever3'where. When he asked a man in Illinois, or Iowa, or Nebraska, or Kansas wb3' he favored the annexation of the Philip pines the answer was, Because we ouht to have them. The people everywhere seemed to believe that providence had opened the door to possession of the Philippines, and that as a matter of national conscience and duty we must bold them. They believed . further that ' it was ihe destiny of the nation to go forward in the Pacific. They didn't care to answer arguments against annexation in detail. They simply put the ques ' tion of argument aside with the state ment of their belief in the destiny of the country and an earnest declara tion of their faith. Mr. Kidd is an Englishman who has studied the English people. in every grade of social life and in very phase of political excitement and development. He warns England and the rest of Europe that this be lief of the American people in the destiny of the nation is a most potent factor in the development of the United States. He points out that -when a people have decided in their own minds that there is a great destiny before their country the nation itself "will be propelled irresistibly along the line marked out. He found the western people not disposed to criti cise, not inclined to split hairs or quibble, but ready on every occasion to put In words their faith in the greater future of their country. President McKinley found this same strong faith, this same courage, this unwavering belief in a great destiny when he made his western tour. The Germans in Berlin, the Russia ds in St. Petersburg, the Eng lishmen in London, the Frenchmen in Paris, are discovering the same element of strength. It is not only he administration or the government that is going forward ; it is the Amer ican people, resolute and progressive, believing in their destiny. This is the result of an investiga tion in America by one of the most observant of English publicists and writers, and his observations are in accord with those of men who have had opportunity of meeting the peo ple face to face. We are going for ward to the control of the West Indies, to the control of the Philip pines, to the control of the Pacific, to a wider sphere of actipn, because it is our destiny.
