AS TO IMPERIALISM.

After reviewing the history Of the
English speaking people, Senator Dan
lei launched on to logical discussion
Of Imperialism. in which he declared
that the power of the English speaking
people 80 hold has been limited only by
their power to desire and acquire.
When once in possession that people
needs no immense military organization
TO retain control, for that people, "
said the speaker. " needs no standing
army, for they are self.reliaut and ever
ready TO carry arms themselves. "
The English speaking people now
dominate this hemisphere aud tie
Anglo. Saxous will dominate the East.
yet history shows one long record of
expansion, not as the necessary result
Of overflow. but one solely TO inherent
love Of expanding. When England
peopled this continent. there were but
five million inhabitants on that island.

NEVER LET 60.

The speaker also pointed out the
proofs that history gives showing that
the expansion Of the Anelo-SaxOns does
not end with simple acquisitions The
power to hold is inherent, and when
possession has once become a fact the
claim is never reliuquished. The abll.
ity of this people to retain is marvel
llus. Englsnd, he pointed out, holds
together her empire and governs her
enormous possessions with force that
is puny when compared with those Of
the continental powers. America, until
year ago, maintained order and en-
forced her laws throughout her vast
territory. yet her standing army scarce
ly numbered 20. 900 men.
