The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-06-18

from King John and who Haunted the
Declaration of Independence in the
face Of King George, were of the same
race. John Hampden had his counter
part I'm Thomas jefferson, Cromwell in
Abraham Lincoln Nelson in Farragut,
wellington i'm Grant. We admire and
respect each other. American sailors,
drifting to certain destruction in the
Samoan harbOr cheer their British
cousins making safely out to the open
sea. in the teeth of the gale. English
sailors, meeting our bloCkadng fleet
outside of Havana, cheer Dewey and
his gallant men when they hear of the
American victory at Manila.
Nor is this fricndliness confined to
mere sentiment. No one will ever
know until the inside history of the
present war is written how much we
owe to the sturdy support of the Brit
ish ambassador in Washington, Sir
Julian Pauncefote. When the repre-
scntatives of the powers in Washing
ton had combined to submit threat
cnng protest against our proposed in
reference with Spain'S miSCOVernmont
i'm cuba, it was England who raised
the hand of opposition and refused to
Countcnance the hostile scheme. When
Austria was bitterly hostile and France
was sCOrnful when Germany sought
to threaten and Russia strangely
sulkod Great Britain, with kindly
| sympathy and courageous tact, stood
| between US and the powers and nulli-
! fled the whole proceedings by refusing
| to become a party to It. Instead Of
angry and mcnacing protest, therefore,
! a note of springtimc mildnesS was pre-
| sented. and the president was rescued
| from an embarrassing position.
Much more, also, has England done.
! It has been less than week since the
| British cabinet emphatically and unan-
! imuusly vetoed a proposition which
! emarated from three of the powers,
demanding that the United states
should connue its military and naval
! operations to the island of Cuba. For
| a while we were on the verge Of either
| having to ANONYMOUSLY withdraw from
the Philippines or else fight the whole
of Europe. once moro the strong arm
Of England was iuterDoS"d, and the
discomfortcd powers were foiled in
their hostile purpose.
