The End of Spain in America.
CFrom the Toronto News.)

(From the Toronto News
The spectacle which Spain presents to-
day. as it makes a final stand in defense
of its possessions on the Western Hem
isphere, has a pathetic element, as well as
illustrating the truth that the forces of
the sixteenth century cannot stand in the
way of progress The glory of it's past
history dims that of any contemporary
nation, as it's decadence exceeds all 9TH
ers today In the days of its power and
dazzling achievements 1t was the envy
of Europe: today the nation is held in
derision The adventurous spirits OF
Spain discovered two continents, annexed
them to the Spanish crown and the do
minion has been lost because of the in
ability of the people to govern colonies.
The one and only steadfast purpose Of
Spain in administering the affairs of her
colonies has been to squeeze all the
revenue possible out Of the people. From
the days of Columbus to the time of
Weyler there has been no variation in
this policy, and to the stubborn ad-
herence to that idea of government is
due the loss of every colony which she
had. The events of history and their
own experience have taught them moth
ing. Not even the loss of all the colonies
on the ssouth American continent was
sufficient to show her the folly of trying.
by arbitrary and despotc measures, to
govern countries 1900 miles distant. As
the twentieth century is breaking, and
the rest Of the world has learned the
gospel of liberty and free government,
Spain is the same exponent OF the ideals
of the Middle Ages that it always has
been. Greed of gold has been the over
mastering vice which has led to the
humiliation of the Spaniard, and he
seems incapable of overcoming the trait
so strongly marked. However one may
regret the decadence of a great people,
lovers of liberty must accept the end
of Spains dominion in the West as an
onward step in the way of progress and
civilization.
