Its IA common thing for them to annex

'FORCIBLE ANNENATION' AND
THE FLAG.

In his recent trip to the Southland
President Mckinley, III one of his ad,
dresses, paid a rhetorical and glowing
tribute to the American flag. Ii
speaking of the territorial aggrandize
ment consequent upon the late war
he referred to the flag as follows
THAT flag has been planted in two
hemispheres, and there it remains, tbs
symbol of liberty and law, of peace
and progress. Who will withdraw il
from the people over whom floats
it's protecting folds? Who will haul
it DOWN.
On Tuesday, the 10Th of April last,
the American Congress passed series
of resolutions in which the govern
ment of Spain was told that she must
at once withdraw her forces from and
relinquish her sovereignty in the is
land of Cuba, and that the United
States was determined to establish Il
stable form of government therein
One of the revolutions, namely, the
fourth. reads as follows: That the
United States hereby disclaims any
disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island, except for the pacif,
cation thereof, and asserts it's deter
mination when that is accomplished
to leave the government and the con.
troll of the island to the people,"
On Wednesday, the day following,
President Mckinley signed these resc.
lutions."
The 1EgiS, in its issue of April 23d
had this to say in reference to the
resolutions THE fourth clause OF
the Joint resolutions is wise provis-
ion. Were it not for this, other
European powers might view with
distrust the intervention of the United
States, and fear that this was only the
beginning of other aggressions.
"This clause of the resolutions de
clares distinctly that the purpose OF
United States is not territorial ag-
grandizement, nor even the desire to
exercise limited sovereignty over the
island"
The war ensued and, today, the flag
floats over Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Cuba, the most desira-
bic territorial acquisition which the
United States could possess, and Oh
whose soil was shed more American
blood than anywhere else in the war,
and yet, because the'American poop e
have pledged their word of honor, and
expect their President to preserve it
inviolate, it will devolve upon you, Mr..
President, as commander in chief of
the American army and navy, to give
the order which will "haul down the
flag" there. In Porto Rico it will
probably continue to float, and yet
when it's close proximity to Cuba, and
the similarity of conditions existing
therein are considered, it is sharpen
ing the "duty-destiny" theory down
to very fine point in the light of the
pledges contained in the fourth reso-
luton referred to. And if the flag
must be withdrawn from Cuba, right
at our doors, why should it continue
in the Philippines?

of December 6, 1879

CHRIS TMAS.

Some one has said that Christmas
was 1.-The day which holds time to-
gether''-th day to which the pro
phets of old looked forward, and to
which the world now looks back in
realization of prophecy fulfilled.
The anniversary of the new creation
the day upon which The Word was
made flesh, brings with it Il knowledge
of a new power in the human race.
With what poetic fervor does the
Messianic prophet picture the event:
Fer to us a child is born,
To us son Is given,
And the government shall be upon his
shoulder,
And he shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor Mighty Potentate'
Everlasting father, prince OF Peace.
His dominion shall be great,
And peace without end shall rest
Upon the throne of David and his king
dom;
He shall fix and establish it
Through justice and equity
Hence forth and forever.
All the circumstances attending
that holy day in Bethlehem seem to
soften the ruggedncss of nature and
impart a touch of divinity to all hu
manity. For generations, the intel
lectualIy strong men have approached
the theme in the line of their tender
est thoughts, seemingly conscious
that, upon such an occasion, al
things that blast and blight are pow
erless."
Shakespeare puts back the maligI
influence of nature in the celebration
of the season by saying:
Some say that ever 'gainst the season comes
Wherein our Saviour'S birth is celebrated;
The bird of dawning slngcth all night long
And then they say no spirit does stir abroad
The nights are wholesome; then no planet:
strike;
charm:
So hallowed and so gracious is the time"
