Porto Rico and the Philippines.

An authoritative declaration has
been made at Washington that the
islands of Porto Rico are to be held
as a permanent possession of the Cait-
ci States. Thsre is nothing exactly
new in the announcement. Il confirms
a line of policy which was accepted
by the country as an inevitable Sc
quence OF the war. Our interest in

IMPERIALISM.


Most of the troubles that worry man
kind are those that are anticipated, and
which are never encountered in reality.
Imperialism is one that is haunting the
timid man now. He has ciphered out
theory which leads him TO believe that II
We hold territory beyond the boundary
of the United States we become pos
sessed of colonies which will be governed
by strong central government at WASH
ington in which the colonists Will nave
no voice, and that ultimately the same
condition will prevail In the states; that
the citizen will lose his right OF govern
ment and all will become slaves TO an i'm
perial power. In the day when Christian,
the Pilgrim, was making his celebrated
journey. he found lion in the way, and
was troubled greatly. But he pursued
his course, and later discovered that the
beast was chained.
If body of 20 900, 900 freemen are able
to govern the foremost nation of the
world, and govern II successfully, as MS"
tory shows they are doing, they are not
going to be wrecked in the additional et-
fort to shape the destiny of few col
onies that may be taken on the side.
The intelligence of the American today
is of a higher standard than ever, and
having In the past proven his ability 10
create and direct the course OF great
nation, there is no reason TO imagine that
America could not annex any nation on
the globe and make a success OF admin
istering II. The reason Imperialism is not
to be feared in this country is because

peror, and not one alone.

THE GROWING OPINION.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York sun.
If there were no other reason for our
retention OF the Philippines. we should
find conclusive one in the semi-otficial
declaration of the German government
that, while 1t would not object to our oc-
cupation of the islands or to the retroccs-
sion of them to Spain, it would insist
upon obtaining one or more of them un-
der any other circumstances. This decla-
ration means that the Filippines as the
white men born in the archipelago are
called the Meztizos or half-breeds and
the Chrstianized and civilized TaSals,
who furnish most of the insurGent forces
in Luzon, can hope for any measure OF
self~rule only under our protection, or
as the inhabitants of a territory belong
ing TO our Union. 1t also signifies that
our renunciation of the islands in favor
of the insurgents under AGuinaldo, and
the attempt upon the latter's part to es-
tlblish complete political Independence
would invite aggression on the part of the
great maritime powers interested in the
far east, and would thus prove perilous
| to the peace OF the world.
%
Manifestly, a retrocession OF rhe Phil
ippines to Spain must not be thought Of.
The same humanitarian motives which
we inv oked to justify interpoltion in
Cuba forbid us to replace the unhappy
islanders under the dreadful yoke of
Spain. If the Cubans have been scourged
with rods, the Filippines have been fiayed
with scorpions; but the cry of the tor
tured could not be stifed in Havana,
whereas in far-of1 Manila IL was for the
most part unheard. The facts, however,

Not a Disappointment.

Too many are now announcing Il
told you So" as rumors of the unsatis-
factory position assumed by the Cuban
insurgents continue to be heard. These
calamity-howlers should realize that
the more conservative and thoughtful
have not expected that America would
find the Cuban nature undergoing
miraculous metamorphosis during the
campaign. whether 1t be brief or pro-
longed. They have not idealized the
Cuban. Indeed, they have believed
him to be as revengeful, as cruel, as
indolent as the Spaniard, and because
OF his expressions and dearth of ad-
vantages, perhaps rather more unrea-
sonable. 1t should not be expected that
the Cubans, long under the bitter
bondage of their hard taskmasters,
brooding and fretting in their wrong
and misery, will suddenly become
gentle and lamb-like in character as
the day of their deliverance draws
nigh The discipline of the past has
been hard and cruel. 1t has not fitted
them to trust anyone-even an Ameri-
can. 1t has not prepared them to yield
in a moment the dream of weary years
spent in conflict and hopes of release.
Cuba Libre has been that dream, the
fond apotheosis of those hopes. Their
half savage, warped natures are not
tempered with the patience to fit them
selves for the task of governing them
selves. The wisest heads in our nation
realized this truth before the war was
begun. They foresaw early in the af-
fair the small need of gratitude that
would probably be ours. They fore
saw the anarchy that would reign
throughout Cuba without the strong
arm of America to compel order. 1t
| has been only the dreamers who could
fancy a grateful people throwing
| themselves down at our feet and say
| ing with tears Of entreaty: Guide us,
| for we know not the way"
The others have long realized that
| our interference means protracted
| and wearisome task, for to control the
| Cubans after their experience with
masters is beset with far more difficult
| ties than to control Spaniards.
But the wise ones have looked be-
| yond all this; have seen future
where, after the struggle is past, the
generations to come will reap the bene-
| fit in an age of peace and plenty on
the fair island; an age of true under
standing of what the price of that
| peace meant to the neighbor that did
not pass by on the other side, but sole
| ly for humanity's sake, crippled her
| own commerce, stilled the wheels of
her own industries. spent her blood
and her money unstintingly that those
at the gates of her seas might be
blessed with prosperity and happiness.
We may not see this blessed consum-
nation with the restless, turbulent
| islanders in our day. but we must not
be disappointed because the leopard
does not change his spots in a single
night, nor thus deem our sacrifice
vain. America did not enter this con-
fiict for the gratitude she would re-
ceive, nor for the plaudits of the world
at large, neither will she be deferred
from her purpose by ingratitude ol
misapprehending criticisms.
