The DESTINY OF NATIONS.
Absorption or Extinction the FATE of
N,,.-,,,.,.,,.o,ss,., fS..,..1o.


Non.prOgressiVe Peoples.
New York Commercial Advertiser;
The destiny of nations is the submls-
sion OF tile lower civilization to the
higher. Nationality can be preserved
only by keeping up with the progress
Of the age; those that fan In this age
are absorbed or extlnguIshed as surely
as the httest survives in the animate
world. Peoples that are incapable OF
elevation must choose between absOrp-
ton and extinction. When the latter
choice Is deliberately made It is tragic
suicide. ta
The Beers are adding another exam
pie Of the protest Of cUEpBes," which Is
seen clearly first In the resistance OF
the GaulB TO the civilization OF Rome
and which has saddened history ever
since. The idea has been illustrated in
dim confused way In ireland and the
Scottish Highlands, and more clearly
in the primitive elective Kingdoms OF
the east It Is always the feebler race,
the Celts and 6lavs, that are Offering
the protest of corpses" to more vlgor-
Gus Teutonic civilization. The suicide
OF Poland was complete. Bohemia sub
mitted to absorption, and the more Wig

achieved equality in an empire that
they will soon dominate. OF all Teu-
tonic people only these Beers, atavfzed
by life In a tropical wilderness, have
failed to keep up with the procession
Of civilization and been obliged to face
the dilemma of submission to the polit-
Ical training OF more progressive race
or suicidal opposition to its Irresistible
advance.
We have had the protest Of corpses"
flung In our faces all the way across
the American continent, and now we
must needs cross the Pacific ocean to
meet 1t in the Philippines, so ineXorably
are vital nations driven by the demon
OF their energy. The most plttful case
was the last, though the military skill
Of General Miles prevented bloody con-
sequences. The last feeble rally Of the
great Sioux nation, known az the ghost
dance plot, less than ten years ago, in
its desperate reliance on supernatural
aid, and its setting OF the instinct OF
national preservation against all the
progress Of civilization, Is not a bad
example OF the heroic folly Of which
the Beers are giving new tftustra-
tiou,

very little effort made to follow up the

the market remained In comatose

The stock market showed signs Of
continued strength during the early
hours OF the trading and the covering
movement among a large outstanding
bear interest continued in active force.
The professional opponents of the bears
did all they could to take the market
away from them by bidding up prices,
picking out individual stocks for that
purpose 10 increase the appearance Of
strength in the market. As the demand
the fact began to emerge that there was
no very eager demand for stocks among
the public at large and prlces began to

courage and put out new short lines. The
fall in prices was considerably acceler-
