syIy THE H4ND OF TIE PREsI-

ST THE HlNU or LIib rms
UENf.
Tho past year has been an eN""ttn!
one "a tie. history Of the world, .-ild
more especially the ! u:ic . rites
We have gone through war which,
white trifl,rg as far MS the lhud forces
are concerned, marked an epoch in the
worlds II story in regard to navy war
re. Since the famous battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac there has
been bat one encounter between iron
clads, and that was on Chlllan waters,
until Admiral Dewey destroyed the
Spanish fleet. near Manila, which was
the first decisive stroke OF the war.
Heretofore it has been entirely prep
JrnaticaI as to the service ar armored
cruiser would show in actual conflict,
and also hich class of vessels was the
most dangerous. This battle has been
.,ualyzed and critically investigated by
the civilized world, as was also Schley :
encounter with Cevera.
The United States has gained much
Ivy the experience it has SO dearly
bought. 1t has gained a standing
aInong the nations Of the world as ii
naval mower, aud all other countries
!luw regard us III the proper light, VIZ
One Of The greatest, if not the greatest
on earth.
The great question which now con.
fronts us, as nation. is, shall we, N
our might and powe', take from in IN
ferior people the PhElpine Islands for
al indemnity of &20,e)0,000. That we
can take them 10 one can deny, unless
the powers of the world intervene, out
the question CT Their annexation pre-
sents two important pOints-tGe moral
right and the expediency OF imperial
ism.
In discussing the first point, il We
take the declaration OF war, it makes
no reference to anything except free
ing Cuba on the ground of humanity
This being accomplished, the obJec,
for which war was declared, we should
mound our snields into plow-sharss.
But what is the trouble with the Peace
Commission at Paris today? Is il on
account Of Cuba No, it Is because
the President has gone be, ond the
original declaration Of war, and now
demands the entire Philippine Is,
lands. We can branch Immediately to
Ghs advfsability of such q move.
Il is well known that there mas been
conservative element in this country
ever since IT'S formation, which has o..
posed expansion beyond Cur natural
boundaries. This element has SO lar
s.ren able to control the more hot
hc.ded and thoCghtiess and under
tLsir wise guidance our prosperity is
the natural result. Their contention

contains enough room fUr ali mas been
proven beyond any reasonable
question OF doubt. The thinking pao
pie e doing al! in their power to stay
the nand OF the President, which he
cia:as is the hand Of destiny, but We
fear without avail. 1t seems as il
unless some act of Providence iutza'
veres we will soon have as congress,

charm ars-this is said in seriousness
and not in a joke-a fine specimen CT
lawmakers ilded, but it will come,
and we will live to see the day when
we are compelled to keep as large .
standing army and navy as England
unless the President is stopped in his
mad career.
