the series between the East and West, be-

recollections of BrookIyns disastrous

it properly in time TO catch the runner at
second, recalls how in 1897 Chicago won
game through a similar play. The
Windy City team was playing Cleveland
at Cleveland, and Tebeaus warriors were
on the rampage, for Chicago led by one
run. The bases were full of Spiders, and
Eddie Mexican was at bat. He hit vi

struck the pitcher on the instep, and he
kicked it straight back to the plate. fore

United States, by an act Of Divine
Providence, take up asimilar burden
and work with England for the
spreading of the white man s idea of
liberty. We have jumped into a
first-class power by a war forced
upon us, and the fruits of victory
find us with new territory over
which American ideas must spread.
AS soon as the PHILIPPINES submit
to our ideas of peace and liberty,
and events of the past week in the
island of Luzon seem to indicate
that such submission is near at
hand, the flow of human blood will
cease and the spirit of happiness
will spread over our Asiatic archi-
pelapo. The mugwumps should
withdraw their petition.

EXPANSION.

! How we expanded before 1898.
In 1873 the territory of the original
- States, as recognized by Great
Britain, was all that territory east
OF the Mississippi river, and running
straight north to the boundary line
from the source of that stream in this
State. In 1903 the province of Louisi-
ana was ceded. This province includ-
ed everything west of the Mississippi
except Texas, California, Nevada,
Utah. Arizona, and portions of Colo
RADIO and New Mexico. In 1919 we
expanded to the extent of taking in
Florida. In 1915 the Republic OF
Texas, formerly recognized by
Mexico, was annexed. In 1913
Mexico coded California, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona, and portions of Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, and in 1853

TEST FOR CUBA.

Already it is suggested that Cuba
will be annexed to the United
States, and while it is undoubtedly
true that considerable portion of
the inhabitants of the Pearl of the
Antilles would prefer United States
authority over the island it is al
most certain that the United States
will not listen to any such PROPOSE
ton until after a Republic has been
set up at Havana, and given every
opportunity to prove that the people
of Cuba are capable of governing
themselves.
The masses of Cuba are similar to
those of the Philippine Islands.
Spain, the mother country, has not,
during it's centuries of rule, made
any effort to advance their condi-
ton, and while a few of them who
have had the advantage of wealth,
are well educated, most of them do
not possess enough education to
comprehend the meaning of a Re-
publican form of government.
In the test of government which
the United States proposes to have
in the island Republic the latter
will fail. 1t may require five, ten
or more years to prove the failure
but the latter is sure to come. And
when the time arrives to declare the
failure there will be nothing left but
for the United States to step in and
assume sovereignty over the island.
With that sovereignty will come to
the United States complete control
OF the gulf of Mexico, and will
practically make us supreme in
western Atlantic waters.

the Gadsden purchase was made to
settle an international boundary
dispute, the purchase now forming
a big portion of Arizona and a small
strip in southern New Mexico. In
1867 we expanded to the extent of
taking in Alaska, the first territory
to be annexed away from our main
land. In 1898 the Sandwich Islands
were annexed, and this year we ex-
pand to the extent of taking Guam
in the Ladrones, the Philippine
archipelago in the far east, and
Porto Rico in the Atlantic. And
still the government remains intact.

The latest advices, from Manila
are to the effect that the American
troops have commenced an aggres-
sive campaign against the forces
Of Aguinaldo, and with the aid of
the navy, have driven the insur-
gents from their stronghold at Su-
big. A few months of campaigning
against the natives will probably
induce them to accept the liberty
which is good enough for the aver
age American.

The ungrateful act on the part of
Cuban assembly in discharging
Maxine Gomez from the position of

authorities in endeavoring to bring
about peace and a stable govern
ment on the Pearl of the Antilles.

TWO PRAYERS.

The attempt of the 18th Minnesota
Auxiliary association to have the
18th Minnesota Regiment recalled
from the Philippine Islands, and
the prayer of lot of political mug
wumps in the eastern portion OF
the United States, asking President
Mckinley to stop the war in the
Philippines that no more American
or Philippine blood might be shed,
have a ring in them that sounds
decidedly unpatriotic.
In the former case the interest OF
relatives might be offered as an ex-
cuse, but these people should
remember that the members of the
18th Minnesota regiment were par
ticularly anxious to goto the assist
ance of Admiral Dewey Immediately
after that gentleman assumed charge
of Manila harbor, and that it was by
army wire pulling that Gov. Clough
finally designated this crack regi-
ment to cross the Pacific ocean.
Indeed, the relatives of these good
soldier boys united with them in
their prayer that they might be
sent to aid man whose name will
ever be pointed to with pride by
Americans. The war so gloriously
commenced in Manila harbor brought
about the acquisition of the Philip
pine archipelago, and by virtue OF
the Spanish Senators in the Unite d
States Senate fighting the PROPOSE
ton for peace, new conditions have
arisen in the archipelago which
compels President Mckinley to
keep all the fighting force in Asiatic
waters that this government has
there at the present time. AS soon
as the insurgents are made to see
the error of their ways and Ameri-
can peace and liberty hover over
the archipelago, we have no doubt
that the 18th regiment will be re.
turned. Until that time the Presi.
dent should not be hampered by the
prayers of relatives.
Thesother petition-that of the
mugwumps of the East-is almost
too ridiculous for consideration
They would have the United States
leave a territory rightfully won by
conquest, and the government of
which we assumed the very day
that Commodore Dewey sank Mon-
tejos feet in Manila harbor. They
would leave those Islands to the
government of almost primitive
anarchy, for who is there that is
bold enough to say that the insur-
gents or PHILIPPINES are to-day capa-
BILE of self-government The natives
are simply what Spain has made
them, or kept them. Fully ninety
per cent. of them have no idea what
this century liberty means, and a
correspondent of this paper vouches
for the fact that four out of five are
unable to read. AS England long
since ''took up the white man S
burden, and commenced the

mony was followed, and at the con-
clusion of the benediction, the bridal
couple, followed by the groomsman,
maid of honor and the two maids,
marched out of the church to car
riages in waiting and were driven
to the home of the brides parents.

brocaded poplin with lace and chit
fon trimmings, and hat to match.
