Two Poluted Questions Answered.
Timid men are speaking the word
'expansion" in tones of alarm, as if
it were cbarged with peril, as if ex
pansion were some untried experi
ment in our national existence. They
forget or ignore the glowing fact that
all this nation has of independence
and glory and empire it owes to the
expansive force of its people.
The American is a natural expan
sionist and a born colonizer. He is
at borne where you place him. Give
him a roll of bedding, a little flour,
some bacon and coffee, and a box of
matches, and you may drop him iu
the desert or the wilderness, 100 or
1000 miles from civilization, and he
will go whistling about the work of
building a campfire and making him
self at home. If a farmer, he will
scan the country for its agricultural
possibilities; if a miner, he will go
hunting for "float" and colors; if a
railroad man, he will instinctively
look around for passes through the
mountains and srades . over the
prairies.
The colonizing spirit is bred in the
blood, and you might as well try to
break up the natural gait of a bred
trotter as to talk of clapping the ex
tinguisher on the expansion trait of
American character. The American
people would not pause at the Al
legbenies, nor at the Mississippi, nor
at the Rocky mountains, and they
will not stop at the shore of the
Pacific ocean.
It is a waste of time and breath to
go asking whether we shall "expand"
or "contract." That is something
which will nob be settled in news
paper offices nor controlled by a few
-iiurdred -men gathered beneath the
dome of the capitol. The eagle wilj
fly, and the barnyard fowl will not,
ami there is an end of the matter,
Americans will drift across the
o'-ean. and home fine morning we
fehall ha ye a new possession thrust
upon u?, as Dole brought in Hawaii,
. and as Dewey took in the Philippines;
or as pioneer Americans brought in
the Oregon country more than 50
years ago. These great things are
not shaped in the white house nor
settled in congress. "There is a
divinity which shapes our ends, rouh
bi-'w ihem as we may."

TjeloSr the obliterated Mason and
Dixon line that we have one common
cause and one common country to
sustain. lie referred in mr.st en
thusiastic language to the great ser
vice performed during the late war
by accomplished efficers, who a gen
eration ao, under a misapprehension,
derided the Stars and Stripes as much
as the3' now revere them. The
Atlanta festival is one of those epochs
in our history which infiuences the
present and future generations to
erase fioin their minds ail that may
belong to an unpleasant past. The
relations between the vai ions sections
of this country are fast being more
Himty cemente.l than they have been
at any time since Washington's first
inauguration. The president's op
pcrtu; e vi:b to Atlanta will nts rj
not only Georgia, but the whole
South, of the earnest desire of the
North to let the dead past bury its
dead, and build upon the site of a to
be forgotten civil strife an empire

such as has never been seen on this
planet. Telegram.
