J., Eberle, Tbs Dalles Daily Chronicle. i. .t V - 9UB8CBIPTION PKICE. One week 15 One re oath . 50 One year 6 00 FRIDAY APRIL, 21 1SE9 A YEAR OF GREAT EVENTS. Within the twelve month period which is now .closing the United States has filled a large place in the politics of the world. It was just a year ago within a few days (April 19) that congress adopted the reso lotions directing the president to use the naval and military forces of the United States to drive the Span iards out of Cuba if Spain should Tefuse to withdraw voluntarily from that island. Two days later, or a year from today, the war officially began. No one in the United States r anywhere else supposed at that time that the actual fighting, which lasted only 113 days, would" end so quickly. No one, of course, doubted that the United States would be the victor ultimately, but everybody, on this side of the Atlantic as well as on the other, believed that the strug gle would last longer than that. Although the country was unpre pared for war, its long period of peace having banished the idea that that condition would ever be inter rupted for us again, it displayed an energy, a versatility and a strength which were a surprise to the world. These aroused a respect for the country among the great nations of the world which has been shown con stantly since then in the consideration which is given to the opinions and wishes of the United States. In two particulars the effect of the Spanish war constitutes a great epoch in the life of this, country. , It has Temoved forever a source of irrita tion which has embarrassed the country nt frequent intervals ever since it became .1 nation, and it has added materially, to the influence which the country - wields in the politics of this hemisphere. .The first of these was the frequently recurring controversies with Spain over which, in the disputes about the navigation of the Mississippi, the boundary of Florida and the insurrections in Cuba, more than once threatened to precipitate war. All the chances for trouble from any of these sources have ended. No possibility of serious disagreement with Spain on any question can anywhere be discerned. Spanish influence on this continent has closed forever, and the United States, to which this influence was always inimical, as well as. civiliza tion, is a permanent gainer thereby. If the events of the past twelve months had produced only this -change in the prospects and prestige of the United States, the year would be one of the most notable in Ameri -can annals. But they have done much more than this. They have given the country a-primacj. in the po'itical affairs of this continent which no other nation ever had over a large part of the world since the empire of Rome, in the days of Augustus and Trajan. A few weeks ago Cecil Rhodes predicted that the United States would one day annex all of the Spanish-American countries Irom the Rio Giande to Cape Horn. Some of the'""French papers have hinted that Canada would be ab sorbed even eailier than any of the countries to the southward. MftDy of the ideas as to the ultimate future of the United States which were held by some American statesmen in the old manifest destiny days around the time of . the close of the war with Mexico, in 1848, are now beginning to be expressed by persons outside of this country. If there are any per sons in this country who favor a policy of indiscriminate territorial absorption they are few and unin fluential, yet the mighty things which have come to pass since-those histor ically great April days of 1898 tempt the world to cast a stirring and mag nificent horoscope for the United States.
