FRIDAY - - DECEMBER 30, 1898
CHRISTMAS IN NEW AMERICA
Christmas of 1898 finds the United
States in a mood which is in especial
harmony with the associations con
nected with the day. Yesterday a
paper was placed in the president's
bands which advances the United
Stales a long step among the great
nations of the world and extends the
benefits of the highest form of civili
zation to lands in which it has been
unknown hitherto. This is the treaty
of peace with Spain, by which the
country's power and influence is ex
tended over portions of the earth
heretofore outside of the scope of our
authority, which increases our in
fluence among the great nations of
the world and places within our con
trol people who along to this time
hoi never felt a guidance which was
potent and beneficent. Tp our new
possessions, heathen as well as
Christian, this anniversity hereafter
will have a particular claim to their
grateful remembrance. The com
pact which has just been received in
this country will to them be a charter
of liberty, It will advance them in
the social and political scale, give
them a connection with the greatest
and most progressive nations in the
world and make life better worth
living.
Thus the social developments and
tendencies which find their culmma
tion and fruitage iu the instrument
which has just reached Washington
are in unison with the sentiments and
traditions or trie season. it is a
triumpn of peace and progress. As
often before in the past, war has
brought political quietude and ad
vancement. Rome's sway over the
barbarous and semi-barbarous peo
ples ot eighteen or twenty, centuries
ago brought a peace which the world
of antiquity had not known until
then. England's rule has, through
out large regions of Asia and Africa,
introduced tranquillity where hither
to there had been the petty but con
tinuous and demoralizing strife of
tribes and races vbich had no purpose
except despoilment and destruction.
The United States has established
quietude in the Philippines, which
have been in a condition of rebellion
for many decades, and has ended the
uprisings which have been under way
in Cuba, with but short intermis
sions, since early in the century. To
day, for the first Christmas season in
many years, all over the world the
gates of the temple of Janus are shut.
To America, therefore, in its old
and in its new boundaries, this day
will have new claims to popular re
membrance. It finds the United
States covering a larger place on the
map than it ever filled before. It
sees the country weilding a greater
influence amor.g the nations than it
possessed in the past. All over the
world there are talks of alliances in
which the United States is assumed
to be one of the partners. The
country is, to all the other nations,
an object of an interest never aroused
in the past. Every nation is anxious
to be on terms of the closest friend
ship with it. The opposition which
was manifested at first toward its ex
pansion in the Pacific has entirely dis
appeared.. The jealousies and rival
ries which are felt by the principal
European nations for each other are
not manifested by any of them
toward the United States. No na
tion in history, was ever the object of
a higher regard than is shown every
where for this country at the present
time. Despite the occasional out
bursts of pessimists here and there in
Europe the world recognizes that the
influence of the United States, in its
new relations even more I than in its
old, will be exerted in the direction
of peace. No country has any ter
ritory which we covet. There is not
anywhere on the earth a nation with
which we would change places. In
the spirit of Lincoln's words, "with
malice toward none, with charity for
all," the United States is spreading
the blessings of civilization and en
1 ghtenment among the races of the
earth, and never was its mission of
peace-preserver and civilizer so wide
ly and gratefully recognized as it is
today. Globe-Democrat.
