One week $ 15 One month 50 One year : 6 00 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.
