what American rule means they will be
grateful for it. Free schools, free re-

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER %, 1898.
The Greater America.


The time viii never come when his
tory will cease to note with emphasis
and circumstance the dramatic double
event that was virtually consummated
yesterday at Paris-tfe close of the long
career of Spain as an empire and the be-
ginning of the career of the American
Republic as a nation among nations,
with interests beyond the confines of the
States. The historian of the future will
find in the decline and fall of once
mighty power a warning against the
abuse of sovereignty for selfish ends.
Spains acquisition of her vast insular
possessions in every sea was in the
lust of gold and greed of power, but
never for the propag CATION Of Christian
ity and civilization. Barbarous in her
domestic rule as in her sports, she never
recognized the human quality in her
distant vassals who bled and suffered
for her pleasure. From her great emil
" Itll SilE heAS d ltIlOI pu
and on sea, she has sunk TO the posi-
tion of distracted state. perhaps over
whelmed by domestic revolution. The
final blow was dealt by Republic that
was born when Spain was old and the
principles of whose life are the exact
reverse of those that dominated her-a
young athlete who was hardly con-
scious of his own strength and the
splendid destiny for which he was or
dained, when the suffering victims of
Spanish tyranny appealed to his con-
science
There was no other thought in the
mind of any patriotic American than
to help the oppressed-never thought
of gain-when We We're forced to declare
war against Spain. For humanity's
sake alone the struggle was made. So
for humanity's sake, under the same
sense of responsibility for pains it is in
our power to prevent, we made our
demand for the Philippines and their
eight million people. The spirit in which
We fought for Cuba sternIy prohibited
the return of Spain TO take vengeance
on the struggling Filipinos. In spite of
the real or fancied dangers to ourselves
of colonial policy. there was no other
way open to us. But the American peo-
pie believe that just as IA wicked life
carries in itself the clements of its own
destruction-just as the ssIfishness of
Spain has reduced h T to Ii present pit
liable condition-so does career under
a noble purpos- insure its own success.
Seeking only TO protect men in their
natural rights and provide for them an
opportunity for individual growth, the
American nation rises superior to all
the dangers that have marked the ex-
perience of other powers. 1t is on the
virtue of our aims that We rely for the
final welcome of our rule in the colonies
which have nothing half as good to gain
from any other source.
There are three events that stand out
distinctly as epoch making in the his
tory of the Republic--the declaration of
our independence of kings. the procla-
nation that freed the slaves, and the
acquisition of the Philippines, together
