THE AMERICAN FUTURE.

Benjamin Kidd, writing in the "At-
1antie Monthly holds that the United
States is to be a world power, and that
she will demonstrate her rights to that
distinction early in the coming century
Our connection with what are to be
termed world principles, makes it i'm
possible for us to escape the effect of
such connection, involving the very
most important relationships to the
world in the future.
First and foremost among these is
trade with the world. In the near fu-
ture We will have a. population of 200,-
100000 people, and it Is inconceivable
that such an aggregation OF civilized
humanity Is not to have behind it a
world trade. The idea entertained by
some that we can have an export with
out an import trade is not well found
ed. Mr.. Kidd holds such a condition
to be simply impossible; that economic
laws forbid 1t. Most developments that
have. taken place of vital interest to
man have had their birth and growth
in temperate regions, and such will be
the law Of the future. Mr.. Kidd ener-
getically adds to his propositions these
words:
We of the more vigorous races have
been occupied during the last century
or two with colonizing, spreading our
selves over, and tanning the temperate
regions of the world. That era, it
would seem, viii not last much longer;
it is slowly but surely coming to a
close Within a time which many of
us will live to see, the American Com
tinent viii be settled up; it is very
nearly settled up already, in the agri-
cultural sense. The next era OF ex-
pansion, which we are almost in the
midst of, is the great era of industrial
expansion, manufacturing expansion
an era of expansion which will un-
douhtedly bring the United States into
very important relations with the trade
of the world The people of the United
States will be driven to seek the widest
possible outside market for their indus
trial productions they must be able
to buy raw material in outside mar
kets; and they will have behind them.
as they will come to realize more and
more clearly, a great history. for they
will be the heading representatives Of
very definite principles in the develop
ment Of the world.

INACCESSIBLE TO REASON.

Mr.. Mills of Texas is out against ex-
pansion. He voted against the annex
alton Of Hawaii and declares that he
will resist with all his power the rati-
feation of any treaty whereby we will
acquire permanently the Philippines, or
Porto Rico, or any other island posses
Eions.
This is not surprising. Mr.. Mills is
one of those old-time, hard-shell Demo-
Gratis, who hold to the doctrine that
change is weakness, that modification
of view is cowardice, that conviction of
a truth is evidence Of moral instability
Having said that the horse is sixteen
feet in hight, Mr.. Roger @. Mills would
not be Mr.. Mills of Texas if he did not
stick to 1t to the last.
OF course, as a member Of the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations, he
will be in a position to interpose OBJ
stacles to the ratification of the treaty
with Spain. But, then, in the new lexi-
con of American progress obstacles
raised by the non-p progressive are SIM
ply to be overcome, NOT to balk US or
create alarm in our minds. Such OBJ
Rtacles as are thrust into our path by
men like Mr.. Mills are never of fearful
proportions, nor, for the matter Of that,
are any objections by men who never
change their minds.
Mr.. Mills in declaring himself on the
question of taking the fruits of the
war revealed himself completely by the
words. Il am against it, have always
been against it, and always will be"
With men of that order it is useless to
reason. They are, as the "Oregonian"
we'll remarks, insensible to the logic Of
events. They are men who are repre-
scented by the type of local statesmen
and American sovereigns we have in
Sacramento, who, when shown that it
is unwise, dangerous and uncleanly to
use the river water for domestic pur
poses, now that conditions have so
much changed affecting that source of
supply, reply, Il always have used it,
l use it now and always will, and so
shall my neighbors." It is simply Use
less to hold debate with men of that
order, whose receptivity of truth is an
unknown factor in their personal make
up.

The beautiful delay Of our present
system of canvassing election returns
is vividly illustrated in San Francisco
just now. Certain officers were voted
for to fill unexpired terms. The vaean-
cies extended only to January I'd. The
election was held November 9th. But
in San Francisco the official canvass
on these particular vacancy offices will
not be completed until about January
9th. We certainly need one of two
things; either the voting machine
which counts automatically as the
votes are cast, or the New York system
where the counting proceeds as the
voting goes on

Mr.. Stead at still greater length re-
peats his assertion that throughout
Europe the people are very angry at
the United States because it insists in
keeping Spain out Of its late posses
sions where it SO brilliantly manifested
Gus cruelty; and, secondly, because we
will pay the vanquished only the beg
garly sum of $4,000, 900. We appre-
bend that If Mr.. Stead had probed be-
meath the surface he would have dis
covered that the mass of the people
have no feeling of animosity toward us.
The king makers and crown manufac-
turers and throne proppers probably
are mad to the core; that was expected.
But coming down TO fgures-will these
disgruntled people point out where in
history such as we have been making
in this year of our Lord, or in any
notable historical annals, the victor has
paid the vanquished anything at all ?
AS a rule the saddle has been upon the
other horse How much did Napoleon
Bonaparte exact of Prussia and of the
little German Princes? How much did
he wiring from the cities he captured
How much did Germany at a later day
squeeze from PROSTATE France, and did
she pay the latter single cent for
Alsace and Lorraine? If the European
critics who seem to have infested Mr..
Stead's path would pause to think, they
would be forced by the logic of reason
to conclude that the United States has,
in the case of Spain. set an example of
generosity unparalleled in the history
of the world.

THEY DID NOT FEAR.

IF the same feeble, timid and fearful
spirit had animated our forefathers
when they took possession of this con-
tinent that is manifest among the op-
ponents to Philippine occupation, what
would have been the result? The found
ers Of our system came 10 these shores
when the continent was wilderness.
peopled by millions of savages Of far
greater martial spirit than that inspir-
ing the mixed races of the Philippine
archipelago, and far better equipped for
resistance to the newcomers.
But the handful of brave spirits did
and battled civilization won over saw
agery, and there was built a national
structure that to-day commands the
admiration of the world. The few
thousands of pioneers who conquered
this continent to civilization against
the millions of savages, warlike and
fearless, and cunning as no other saw
ages have ever proved, did not hesitate
for an instant. They knew that they
had to wage war in order TO found free
institutions, and they armed to that
end. They persisted in pushing into
the wilderness, offering the arts of civ
ilization for the barbarism of the abo-
rigines and holding forward at the
same time the torch of war in defense
of the civilizing advance.
No such conditions confront US In the
Philippines. We are equipped for our
task with all that the discovery. art
and invention of two centuries have
provided; we will meet face to face a
feeble people, in most part tractable be-
fore kindness and justice, and driven to
arms only by cruelty and misgovern-
ment. We have not the fear born of
weakness, nor the doubts flowing from
lack Of knowledge of the elements with
which we are TO deal, as was the case
with our forefathers when they pene-
trated the wilderness infested with
millions of war skilled savages.

SPANS PURCHASE OF wARsnIps.
Washington Onciais Interested In the Re.
port from London.

Washington, March 4.--Naval off,
cials are deeply Interested In the re-
ports of the purchase of warships by
Spain and make the reports of these
transactions the text for complaints of
the inactivity of our navy depart
ment to do likewise. However, as to
the report from London today of the
purchase of the Amazonas by Spain,
ii is said at the department that this
vessel sailed for Brazil some months
ago and has been delivered to the
Brazilian government. Her sister ship
is still at the Armstrong yards in
England. They are useful cruisers,
copies of the Barossa. Their great
usefulness is their great cruising ca
pacity--S,000 miles.
The other two ships building for
Brazil in France, which are also re-
ported to be about to pass into Span
ish possession. are presumed to be the
Dcadroro and the Floriona, which
are building at la Sienne, Toulon.
These are small but powerful little
| battleships. They carry four l0-inch
rifles in turrets, in addition TO two g.
inch and four 10-inch guns and n
good secondary battery. Their coal en-
durance, however, is small, and their
forte would seem to be coast defense
operations or cruising near the base OF
supplies.

The distress In various parts of the
country occupies the public mind far
more than American relations. Not
withstanding the reduction in the graz
duty, n famine threatens. The social
lists are utilizing the dearth, under
guise of electioneering, as means for
fomenting popular agitation, and il
would require some overt act of injus-
tice on the part of America to divert
public sentiment.
