This it was which, in the war against
the French republic, induced us to
send thousands and tens of thousands
CT our brayest troops to die in West
Indian hospitals while the armies of
our enemies were pouring over the
kline and the Alps. When u colonial
acquisition has been in prospect We
nave thought no expenditure eXtraVa-
CANT, no interference perilous. Gold
has been to us as dust, and blood as
water. Shall we never learn wisdom?
Shall we never cease to prosecute
pursuit wilder than the widest dream
of alchemy, with all the eredulity and
ali the profusion of Sir Epicure Nam
man?
Those who maintain that settlements
so remote conduce to the military or
maritime power of nations, fly in the
face of history. The colonies of Spain
We're far more extensive and populouS
than ours. Has Spain, at any time
within the last two centuries. been
match for England, either by land or
by sea? Fifty years ago our colonial
dominions in America were far larger
and more prosperous than those which
we at present possess. Have we since
that time experienced any decay in our
political influence, in our opulence, or
in our security? Or shall we say that
Virginia was a less valuable possess
sion than Jamaica, or Massachusetts
than Barbados?
Let all colonies become what the
thirteen colonies became-independent
states under such form of government
as they choose.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-24
CONCERNING COLONIES.

The arguments of the advocates of a
policy of territorial expansion and
system of colonies are nothing but
rhapsodies and glittering generalities.
There is much sophistry about trade
and the need of naval stations here
and naval stations there Dewey at
Manila was seven thousands miles
from any American naval station, and
without any base of supplies, while
Montejo was in a home port, port
protected by mines in the harbor and
forts on the hills; but Dewey demol-
ished Monteio's fleet without any naval
base, and the result is that Spain has
lost her most extensive colonial pos
sessions.
What need have the United States
of colonies? None in the world. That
other nations have them is true, but
other nations have kings and emper-
ors also. Were the United States an
overcrowded nation it could easily be
understood why colonies are wanted.
Spain once had more colonies than any
nation ever had, but where is Spain
today? 1t is her mismanage cement and
bigotry in insisting on keeping Cuba
that involved her in the present war,
a war that will result in stripping her
of almost all her colonial possessions.
England is the great colonizer of
modern times. And what does one of
the greatest of Englishmen say of her
colonial system? In his essay on the
West Indies, Macaulay says:
There are some who assert that. in
military and political point of view, the
West indies are OF great Importance
to this country. This is a common, but
monstrous misrepresentation. We
venture to say that colonial empire has
been one OF the greatest curses of mod
ern Europe. What nation has it ever
What nation has it ever
enriched? What have been fits fruits?
Wars of frequent occurrence and i'm
mense cost, fettered trade lavish ex-
penditure, claShing Jurisdiction, cor |
ruption in governments and Indulgence |
among the people. What have Mexico |
and Peru done for Spain, the Brazils |
for Portugal, Batavia for Holland? Or, |
If the experience of others is lost upon |
us, shall we not profit by our own? |
What have we not sacrificed to our
passion for transatlantic do
minion? This it is that has so often
led US TO risk our own smiling gardens
and dear fresides for some snowy des-
ert or infectious morass on the other
side of the globe. This inspired us
with the project of copQuering Amer
ca. This induced us TO resign all the
advantages of our insular situation
% embreil ourselves in the intrigues
md fight the battles of half the con-
inent-to form coalitions which were
instantly broken, and to give subsidies
which were never earned. This gave
birth to the fratricidal war against
American HTerty, with all its disgrace
Ill defeats and all its barren yicto-
les, and ali the massacres of the In
liam Ratchet, and all the bloody CON-
racts of the Hessian sIaughter-house.

MR.. VARIAN ON THE LARS
THOMPSON CASE.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found a
communication from Hon. c. S. Varian
on the question raised in the Lars
ed for d felony committed before the
territory was admitted as state, and
tried by a jury of eight. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court of the
United States, and the judgment of
the court below reversed and the case
remanded. When the case came back
before the trial court, Judge Johnson
dismissed it and ordered the release
of the prisoner, on the ground that
there was no provision of law for a
jury in such cases.
Mr.. Varian raises the question
whether such cases as Thompson's
cannot be tried by the state with a
jury of u men. AS he points out, the
enabling act and the constitutional
convention were careful to make pro-
vision for the trial of cases arising
under territorial laws, that there might
be no hiatus. It is suggested that so
important a question as the power of
the state to impanel a jury of u men
to try cases similar to that Of Thomp-
son should not be disposed of upon
consent applications in the nisi prius
courts, but that the question should be
submitted to the supreme court The
suggestion is certainly in the interest
of law and order and the welfare of
the people of the state, and should re-
ceive the favorable consideration of
the public prosecutors in the different
counties. Nothing can be palmer than
that men charged with serious crimes
against the commonwealth should not
be turned loose upon society until the
courts of last resort have passed upon
every phase of the question CT the
power of the state to prosecute them.
Mr.. Varian's communication is most
timely and discusses an important
question, one that concerns very inti-
mately the law-abiding people of the
state. His position at the bar should
cause his communication to receive
the most respectful attention from
courts and members of the bar; it is
in the interest of law, order and pub
lie morality.

"YANKEE DOODLE IN CUBA.

come his way occasionally, and the
strict discipline gives him little quiet

OFFERS TO CLEAR THE HARBoR

Lieutenant Commander w. w. Kim
ball, commander of the torpedo fiotilla
of the navy, has written to the navy
department as follows:
"Send the Holland submarine boat
to Santiago and will take her with a
volunteer crew and clear the harbor of
ships and mines"
Whether any reply has been or will
be made to this offer is not known: it
is certainly gallant one and should be
accepted. The undertaking would be
hazardous in the extreme, but it Ger
tainly could not be more hazardous
than was the undertaking of Lieuten
ant Hobson, though its outcome might
not be so Fortunate The inventor of
the Holland submarine boat has abso
lutte faith in her and so has Lieutenant
Commander Kimball seemingly.
This boat is a new departure in ma
val warfare and it should be given
every opportunity to prove its worth.
If it will do what is claimed for it,
then every harbor in Cuba can be
cleared of mines. 1t would also mean a
revolution in naval warfare, for no war
ship could stand against the attacks
of submarine boat.
No one can be more interested in
these questions than the navy depart
ment and it is anxious to avail itself
of any and all Improvements. This be-
ing so, it is likely it will give favor
able consideration to Lieutenant Com
mander Kimbalrs proposition. If doubt
as to his ability to do what he says
he can exists. let him solve it. He is
willing to take the chances ard he
should be allowed to.

until Utah was admitted as a state.
