Mrs. Joseph Ackerman, injured inter

daughters of the Ackermans, so badly
crushed that one may die. The ex-

events make the man, not man the
events 1t is ever case of "the hour
and the man" When required he is at
hand. Hundreds as able and great
may have been born and lived and died
in obscurity, finally events shape it
that man is needed, and events take
hold of him and make him what we
call great.
1t is not one man or hundred, or a
thousand or a million men, that have
brought about the present expansion of
the United States; it is the outcome of
causes which are deep laid and which
few men realize. Buckle tried to show
the true philosophy of the growth of
nations, but it took him thirty years to
merely lay out his introduction, and he
died before he had even commenced his
true work We know that the causes
are in existence because we see the
effects, but the foundations are too
deeply laid for our puny intellects to
dig down and lay them bare.
But leaving causes and reasoning and
philosophy of history alone, the fact re-
mains that the United States has ex-
banded and will continue to expand for
many years, probably many centuries
The trade which we consider so great
today will grow, and writer's fifty
years hence will laugh at the little bill
lion and a quarter of dollars that we
boast Of The coming century is big
with events. We can see them but
dimly, our children and our children's
children will be actors in them. One
thing we must remember, however, ma
tions like people grow, reach maturity
and then fail. Nothing shows this bet
ter than beaten Spain. Four hundred
years ago she was the mightiest nation
in Europe and the world. Today she is
lucky in the possession of a share in
her own Iberian Peninsula.

GLASS FOR GUAM.
Commander of the Charleston May be
Governor.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The
friends of Captain Kempff are working
to prevent his proposed appointment as
Governor General of Guam Island. 1t
is understood that he would like to be
made commandant of Mare Island navy
yard.
AT the navy department today it was
suggested that Captain Glass of the
Charleston might be made governor of
Guam. Secretary Long regards Cap
tain Glass highly and so does Secretary
Alger. On account of his superior abl-
ity he was made captain of the port at
Manila, which duty he discharged to
the full satisfaction of the war and ma
Wy departments. 1t was argued by a
war department official high in author
ity today that Captain Glass was not
only naval officer of ability, but in
asmuch as the Charleston took possess
sion of Guam Island and transported
her governor a captive to Manila, it
would be especially appropriate that
ne be made the American governor.

THE PHILIPPINES.

The position of affairs in the Philip
pines is one which is now occupying
the minds of the whole world. The
statement made by the New York Sun
that President Mckinley, from infor-
nation now in the hands of the cabi-
net and himself is satisfied that some
European power is backing the Filipi-
no insurgents, is one of very grave inn
port No European power is named in
the report, but there is every reason to
suspect two.
Spain, beaten on land and sea, has
looked around for means to retrieve
in some shape her losses. If she can
not get it in money equivalent, she is
going to obtain it in revenge upon her
late foe. She has determined to make
things as ugly as they can possibly be
for the United States in the Philippines.
Thus, she has applied to those who
are in relationship with her, to make
common cause against a common foe.
There was no support as long as act
ual blows were going on, and it meant
ordering out troops and putting battle
ships in order. But when it became a
matter of egging on a small people,
with a leader whose head was swelled,
as Aguinaldo's is, there was no trouble
about brewing a little broth which
would be by no means palatable to the
nation which had won, and which was
striving to do it's duty by the people
who had come under it's charge. This
is very probable key to the situation.
The success of the United States has
aroused the jealousy of the strong mon
archists of Europe.
The first move in the little drama was
played at Iloilo. Whatever the Spanish
may say in rebuttal there can be no
doubt but that that town was sur
rendered to the insurgents purely on
the ground that it's occupation by the
now constituted authorities would
bring about the very trouble which has
now occurred.
There is no trust to be put in Span
lard. He has ever been the same. In
the days of her glory Spain produced
as chivalrous and punctilious men as
she does now, but when the Spaniard
had the upper hand, he always proved
treacherous Drake and the other Eli
zabethan captains thoroughly under
stood him. The game of the dying
Spanish monarchy and it's latin affil-
iates is just the game played three hun
dred years ago. Instead of straightfor-
ward fighting it is to be underhand
work. ,,.t
The world has moved to that point
where monarchy is no longer looked al
as divine, and the United States has
been more successful in showing this
doctrine than any other people upon
the earth. 1t is quite natural that the
Latin and other nations, even if repub-
Hcan, remain to a great extent monarT
chial in spirit, should view the success
of the United States with anything but
satisfaction. For though Great Britain
is a monarchy in name, it is a republic
in fact, and it will be a republic in
name one of these days. Hating the
ideas which belong to the English
speaking race, Spain has been able to
find forces to cause trouble to the Unit
ed States in the Philippines. The only
result will be to draw the English
speaking race closer together

EXPANSION.

Bradstreets trade report for 1898
gives a marvellous volume of export
trade for the United States during that
year The total value of exports was
l,250, 100000, which is not only the hea-
West in the history of the country, but
is very nearly double the value of the
imports, so that the United States sold
dollars worth it bought. Moreover
this increase in exports is not in crude
material, but largely in manufactured
goods.
When a nation reaches this stage of
development it is impossible to keep
from expansion. It's commercial rela-
tons force it to have foothold in va
rious parts of the globe. The expansion
of the United States outside the limits
of the continent was practically a fore
gone conclusion when she started out
on her Independent career. When peo-
pie talk about expansion being new,
they talk without realizing the facts of
history which are before their eyes.
Starting with the original thirteen
states it has been one continual ex-
pansion southwark and westward for
over a century.
The American statesmen have fore
seen it. Jefferson seventy-fve years
ago talked of the separation of Cuba
from Spain, and Marcy foresaw the
eventual annexation of Hawaii. As
the nation grows in strength and in
commercial Importance so must it ex-
pand it's borders. 1t is no greed of ter
ritory no land hanger, no desire to
dominate other powersI it is the nat
ural outcome of events over which ev-
en- statesmen have little control, for

SITUATION IN MANILA.
Filipinos Refuse to Work for Anne
ricans-A Crisis.

MANILA, January 9.-The situation
is rapidly approaching climax and it
is just possible that tomorrow will see
a peaceful solution.
Meanwhile all sorts of alarmist ru-
mors are in circulation. The United
States authorities are taking every pre-
caution. The troops in quarters are
under arms and the CalifOrnians have
disembarled from the transports.
The natives, it is reported have
been ordered not to work for the Anne
ricans and the employees in the commits
sary department have gone on a strike.
Natives are leaving the city. Major
General Otis, however, has the whole
situation thoroughly in hand.
A second proclamation by Aguinaldo
bearing the same date as the one that
Immediately followed the proclamation
of Major Genral Otis, based upon Pres
ident Mc&inley's Instructions first APP
peared on the streets today, but it is
alleged to have been recalled. It's
terms are much more vehement than
those used in the first proclamation.
Aguinaldo threatened to drive the Anne
ricans from the Islands, calls the Diety
to witness that their blood will be on
their hands if it is shed, and details at
greater length the promises he claims
were made by the Americans as to the
part of the insurgents in the campaign
1t is believed this second proclama-
ton is the original draft which was not
adopted by the Filipino congress- at
