SPLENDID ISOLATION OR WHAT

Under this interrogatory heading
Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer,
who is now Conservative member Of
the British parliament. has an eight
page article in the June number of the
Nineteenth Century, in which he draws
attention to the reverses of England at
Athens, at Constantinople, at Toxic,
and at Pekin. and shows how indispen-
sable it is for England to quit her
splendid isolation" which he considers
nothing less than a splendid dotage,'
and ally herself with some strong ma
ton to maintain her prestige among
the great powers Of the world.
Though Mr.. Stanley was an American
citizen for many years he is now a
loyal Briton and writes purely from a
British point of view. He desires that
England shall remain a powerful factor
In international affairs, but clearly sees
her waning influence and inability to
stand alone against the triple alliance OF
Germany, Austria and Italy, or the
dual alliance of Russia and France.
He analyses the recent failures Of Brit
lsh diplomacy and taunts the Salisbury
government with it's impotence to stop
the Armenian massacres, to save Greece
from Turkey, and to check the advance
OF the Russian empire in Asia. His
pesslmlstlc views are anything but
consoling to the queens subjects. He
does not want to see the rival powers
contiscate the possessions Of the ORR
entail races. and leave nothing to satiate
the capacious nav of John Bull.
In looking about for help to enable
England to have share of the plum
Ger in Asia and Africa, and to retain
them permanently, Stanley Africanus
comes to Chamberlain's policy of an
Anglo-American alliance Though he
would welcome such hybrid coalition
as that of an empire with a republic.
he knows enough of the American peo-
pie as to doubt such a happy result. In
fact, he secs no reason why America
should become partner with England
in her dotage and decadence. He is
unable to point out any advantages
which the United States would derive
from the alliance, and he knows
enough of practical politics and human
nature not to believe for moment that
Americans are SO, foolish as to fight and
shed their blood for England without
receiving a single substantial benefit
in return. He knows that the Mace:
DOMAIN cry Of Chamberlain to "help
Mother England" in her decrepitude
and decay will fall on the deaf ears of
her American cousins"
We heartily thank the adventurer
who discovered DR.. Livingstone for
pointing out the weakness of England
among the great nations of the earth.
According to him she is not ONLY
in splendid isolation" but also in a
splendid dotage." May she continue in
that interesting condition. We thank
him once more for showing American,
why England at this time appears so
friendly to our republic in the war
against Spain. This is her grand op-
portunity for an alliance, but in spite
of the Anglo-maniacs she must fight hes
battles alone, even if she gets wiped
off the GARTH

Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader
in the Philippine Islands, has issued a
manifesto saying he will treat the
Spanish prisoners with humanity. He
appears to be anxious to conquer the
Spaniards before the arrival of the
American troops and it is said he has
already declared the islands free and IN
dependent. Judging from his actions
he will not let the Americans have
everything to say and do in his native
country. and it is not improbable that
he will give them considerable trouble
yet, If the reports from Hong Kong can
be relied on.

True to its Puritanical, Anglo-Saxou
instincts, the Boston Herald hates the
sight of the green flag, even when borne
by patriots to the war. The 9th Massa-
chusetts regiment, composed entirely of
lrish-Americans, carried with it from
the Old Bay State the emblem of Erin
with the Stars and Stripes when start
ing for the front. The organ of mug
wumpery and Anglo-mania thinks it
outrageous to have foreign flag carried
by an American regiment. Would it
feel chagrined If regiment of English
Americans carried the Union Jack?
There is no danger, however. that Mas
sachusetts will ever raise such a regi-
ment for the cause of this republic

The Philadelphia Press speaks out in

religious legerdemain to attract con-
gregaticns do not deserve to be classed
