PROGRESS OF EXPANSION

1t will doubtless starte the antieX-
pinsolists of the country, says the
Philadelphia Tines, when they learn
that the Samoan treaty, by which we
acquired the absolute ownership of the
island of Sutuia and several other out
lying islands of the Samoan group,
was approved by the Senate after
debate of less than two hours, and
with shch infinitesimal opposition that
division was not even called in the
Senate on the final vote.
True, the Samoan acquisitions are
not of any great national Importance
in regard to population, area or prod
ucts, but the same principle applies to
the acquisition of the Samoan islands
that applies to the acquisition of the
much more important islands of the
Philippines and the West Indies. The
Stalwart anti-eNpansionists should
have been convulsed over the Samoan
treaty quite as much rs they are over
the Filipino war, as the Samoans who
have been brought under the iurisdic-
ton OF the United States were not
thought Of rs entitled to consideration
about their own government.
hot IL
tirmed the Samoan treaty without even
call of the Senators may be accepted
as conclusive against all the theories
OF the anti-eXpansio2ists. There is
nothing in their theory that approaches
the dignity and vitality of the right
of a people to be consulted as to their
own government; and if the Filipinos
are entitled to it the Samoans are
equally entitled to it, This new ac-
QUESTION in the South Seas by a prac-
tically unanimous vote Of the Senate.
means that the theories Of the Stall
wart anti-cXpansionists have been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.
The chief island we have acquired
10y the Samoan treaty is only 81 square
miles, with a population of less than
1000, and the people there will proba-
bly, not know for a long time to what
nationality they belong, and it is quite
likely that they will care less. They
are free and easy go-as-you-pleas
people; live without working, feed and
clothe themselves on the spontaneous
productions of the country, and the
Chief amusement they have is in fight
ing with each other Upolu, that has
fallen to the lot Of Germany by the
Samoan treaty, has had almost perpct-
ual war with the tribe of the native
chief Maunga, or Mountain. who rules
in the American island of Tutuila. but
now that both have come under strong
national jurisdiction their local wars
are likely TO end.
The acquisition of Tutuila is likely
to become very important TO the United
States because it possesses the finest
harhor there is in the Southern seas
1t is known as Pago-Pago. 1t is not
only the very best harbor in that re-
glon, but it is the most easily defend
ei, and with the present policy of cx-
pahslon and enlargement of our navy
that Is inevitable, oar new Samoan 40
QUESTION may be heartily Welcomed bv
the American people. BY this treaty
all the cobwebs Of conservatism and
the acute angles Of aggressive moss
backs have been cfiectuaIly disposed
OF, and the policy of expansion may be
accepted as the declared policy of the
great Republic of the world.

Sheridan was made at the Creston re-

least 10000 veterans present, in addition
to thousands Of other persons.
The enthusiasm for Sheridan was over

Little Phil':

We Cant All Be Presidents.
Chauncey N. Depew, in Success,

We can't all be Presidents of the United
States. Any man is successful who does
well what comes TO his hand, and who
works to improve himself SO that he may
do it better. The man with the ideal.
struggling to carry it out, is the successful
man. OF course, there are all grades
of ideals, and the man with the highest,
given the proportionate eregy, is the
most successful The world makes
way for that kind of young man. In the
contemplation of a career, business or
professional, avoid the tendency of modern
times TO make a short cut. Stick to the
highway. To leave it is to wander into
many a morass of danger and disgrace.
The straight road has no pitfall.
