already learned to welcome our rule.
Nor, while fully acknowledging our
duties to others, need we forget our
duty to our own country The Pacific
seaboard is as much to us as the At
lantic; as we grow in power and pros
perity so our interests will grow in
that farthest west which Is the i'm
memorable east The shadow of our
destiny has already reached the shores
Of Asia. The might Of our people al
ready looms large against the world
horizon: and It will loom ever larger
as the years go by. No statesman has
a right to neglect the interests of our
people in the Pacific; interests which
are important to all our people, but
which are OF most Importance to those
Of our people who have built popu-
lous and thriving states on the western
slope Of our continent.
GRAY DOES NOBLY.
This should no more be a party
question than the war for the Union
should have been a party question. At
this moment the man in the highest
Office in the Philippine Islands is the
Vice-Governor, General Luke Wright,
Of Tennessee, who gallantly wore the
gray in the civil war and who is now
working hand in hand with the head
of our army in the Philippines, Adna
Chaffee, who In the civil war gallantly
wore the blue. Those two, and the
men under them, from the north and
the south, in civil life and in military
life, as teachers, as administrators, as
soldiers, are 1aboring nightly for us
who live at home. Here and there
black sheep are to be found among
them; but taken as whole they rep
resent as high standard of public SER
vice as this country has ever seen.
They are doing a great work for civil
ization, great work for the honor
and the interest of this nation, and
above all for the welfare of the in
habitants OF the Philippine Islands.
All honor to them; and shame, thrice
shame, to us if We fail to uphold their
hands!

WulCD udtlOHdl independence can De
built Wherever in THE Philippines
the insuiTection has been definitely
and finally put down, there the individ-
ual Filipino already enjoys such free

TASK OF PROCUREMENT
The slowly-iearned and difficult art
OF self-government, an art which our
people have taught themselves by the
labor of a thousand years, can not be
grasped in a day by a people only just
emerging from conditions OF life which
our ancestors left behind them in the
dim years before history dawned. We
believe that we can rapidly teach the
people in the Philippine Islands not
only how to enjoy but how to make
good use OF their freedom; and with
their growing knowledge their growth
in self-government shall keep steady
pace. When they have thus shown
their capacity for real freedom by their
power OF self-government, then, and
not till then, will 1t be possible to de-
eide whether they are to exist inde-
pendently of us or be knit to us by
ties of common friendship and inter-
est. When that day will come 1t Is
not in human wisdom now to foretell.
All that we can say with certainty is
that 1t would be put back an immeas-
urable distance II we should yield TO
the nounsels of unmanly weakness and
turn loose the islands, to see our Vie
