The EAGLE MOI ALONE, AMI
The American republic has stood for expansion from

not the only thing that has continuously expanded As
people We have expanded mentally, and materially and
with every kind and character of expansion has come

The Lawrence Journal wants it known that the Eagle
is not the only paper stood for the annexation

Whatever may be the final disposition Of the Philip

there has never been a question in mind as TO

thousand one other reasons the greatest of which
is these territories in being an integral part geogaph
cally must be made all other respects. From the
day that President Mckinley the ports OF Cuba
blockaded the Eagle stood for annexation the egt
innate and logical outcome whatever the balance of the
world might say the inhabitants of Cuba within
the brefest period that island will be dominated by c
zens Of the United States whose interests and holdings
in the island viii be paramount And to the
native inhabitants will annexation prove to be As

allude:
There is disposition the part of some newspapers

to relieve Mrs. Mckinley from any anxiety
