The Issue Defined.

1t Is rapidly becoming apparent mat the
war with Spain will grow new issues; that
they will not be new in domestic sense, but
that momentous international questions will
come up for settlement, such as we have
never before been called upon to consider
further than to assert our policy of non.
Intervention, or scheme Of attend.to.our.
own business, in matters relating to the
affairs OF other great Nations. tbs true that
we have had one policy that brought us into
touch with others and concerning which
we were disposed to be somewhat touchy-
bumptious--the Monroe Doctrine, a sort OF
noli mo tan9ere, relating to the two Americas
and announced to European territory grab
bers. 1t has always seemed to us that this
one exception to our general policy of indie.
pendent existence among the family Of great
Nations, not with them, proved the falacy
of the rule; that the assertion Of q right of so
much moment to US and to others could be
used to demonstrate, to prove, the proposition
that there are other rights and with them
other duties that come to us by virtue Of
our position, rank and power as a nation.
That q nation Of the intellectual and moral
force of the United States shall be permitted
to remain a nullity in the grand scheme Of
educating and retaining the hundreds of
millions of ignorant humanity; that a
people whose freedom has made them what
they are, given them all they have, has as
sured them of the certain retention of all
these blessings, if worthy, by the use to
which they put them TO retain them; that we
can be all that we are, selfishly enjoy it and
have no care, nor feel under any obligation
to aid 10 bringing to the unfortunates among
the nations, the light that has come TO us,
the blessings Of intelligence and its happy
offspring, freedom, progress and strength; to
plan thus is to risk every penalty of the
moral laws as they may be applied to nations:
the law of compensation will demand that
we give OF our strength to the weak in re-
payment of the "talent" that has been loaned
to us for 80 many years. 1t is uncomfortable
that We should say: "we're not our brothers
keeper" that we should feel under no obi
CATION to 90 out among the peoples Of the
earth. educating. Strengthening, and reclaim
ing them. Whether or not we feel it, 1t 10 q
duty and that 1t is about to be thrust upon VA,
all will soon be compelled to agree.
Henry Watterson, in an interview, gave
expression to views 80 entirely in accord
with ours that we have given them place
in this issue and we commend them to the
careful peruSal of our readers; you will be
able nowhere else to find our sentiments
more clearly or forcibly expressed than in
the article referred To-.
