AN IMPERIALIST.

biSIo1 Slldi ics ID. odilOWdS IS the greatest of all Southern Metho- dist bishops, good and great man in every way. He has done q grand work as a citizen and as q bishop, and the Democrat has the highest regard for him. One thing the Democrat likes especial ly Tn his character He is not afraid to speak his mind on any public question, and he does not wait to see how the current of public sentiment is running. On some great questions he is far in advance of the majority of his brethren. But he is as wild as a March hare on the question of ex- pansion and the never-haul-down- the-hag sentiment has swept him off his feet. This is the way the bishop expressed himself last night, as expressed in our morning contemporary
 Some of the politicians pro- fessed to believe we are going to the dogs because of imperialism. The bishop went on to say that he wanted to see our flag wave over every foot of the land we took in the war with Spain, and he never wanted to see 1t hauled down un- less it was to give place to the flag of another Christian nation. The utterance was vigorously ap- plauded, and "amenso could be heard on all sides. He said if the life of the country depends upon the pure life of our people and the purity of our religious faith, we should have these great doctrines conserved and religously preserv- ed. The nations with the closed Bible have suffered the loss of ev- erything that gave them great ness.
 After talking in this strain, Bishop Galloway knocked all the props from his argument, by say ing
 "The imperial greatness of Spain is gone, and today she stands stripped of her colonies, pitiful and pitiless The bishop said he was profoundly impressed by the great argument of Webster in the Girard will case, i'll which he iterated that Christianity is the common law of this nation. There is here no religious test, and there ought not to be, yet We ought to jealously guard the principles up- on which our government rests. Those who control the youth of one generation write the destiny of the next. In Chicago during the riots President Cleveland S proclamation had to be translated into four different languages before 1t could be read by the American citizens living there Think of the peril involved in making American citizens of those who cannot speak our own language !''
 Why did Spain go to decay? Why was she stripped of her colo nies' Simply because 400 years ago she pursued the same policy that the United Statee Is now pur- suing. She grabbed islands, con- quered continents and subjugated hemispheres Tn her wild scheme of conquest. Her imperialistic poli- cy has wrought her ruin. What a magnificent specimen of the inn perialist was Hernando Cortes, and what fine old expansionist was Francisco Pizarro. What a grand specimen of the genuine col onizationist was Philip II, after whom the Philippines were named! The Duke of Ava was also hap

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

In the new crisis developed in the Samoan situation by the action of the American and British War ships in opening fire on Mataafa s followers, there is no grave cause for apprehension of serious inter national complication.
 It is unlikely that Germany will see fit to resent the justified inter ference of the two governments in a matter where the upholding of a treaty between the three Powers necessitated such interference. The likelihood of this action, 1t is stat ed from Washington, had already been foreseen and discussed with the representatives of the Kaiser s Government. There Is no fear, therefore, that the incident will cause rupture between Germany and the United States or Great Britan.
 Indeed, if the wisest council pre- vails with the Germans, the ulti- mate result of these latest develop ments will probably be an arrival at more definite and satisfactory understanding as to the future con- trol of Samoan affairs. It Is ap- parent that the German Consul. Rose, has exceeded his authority in so directly opposing the Ameri- can and British representatives in Samoa and melting the Mataafa faction to open revolt. Should his recall be determined upon by Germany, as it is expected in some quarters, the way to a friendly set clement of existing difficulties would then be clear.
 It is significant that the German press so far has not sought to util- ize the incident in stirring up bitter feeling between the three Powers. The plain duty of the United States and Great Britan was to protect the pcaceable and law abiding elements in Samoa against the usurper, Mataafa, and his warriors. They have not as yet exceeded this duty. The Ger man Consul, standing as a minori- ty in the Samoan triumvirate, has been the disturbing factor in the situation. It is upon his shoulders that the responsibility of the recent conflict must fall.
 That there is said to be "a grow ing disposition on the part of Ger many to hold Herr Rose accounta- ble" is promise of the wise set clement of the misunderstanding now unfortunately in evidence. It may confidently be hoped on this basis that such settlement will speedily be reached. The friendly relations among Germany, Great Britan and the United States are not yet seriously menanced by the mistaken attitude of an overzealous Consul.-Republic.
