SHOULD THE UNITED STATES FORM AN
ALLIANCE WITH GREAT BRITON.

years stepped over the boundaries
formed by her forefathers and by
waters. She has broken those old
bonds and stepped out as if it were)
into the world to shift as fate might
have it. Heretofore the United States
has kept herself within her natural
nativeal boundaries, peacefully enjoy
ing her own affairs and having very
little to do with countries abroad.
England, on the other hand, has al
ways been in territorial trouble here
or there and is master of the subject.
AS the United States is but child
in the part she is beginning to play,
than power to work iii harmony
with it and such power that under
stands the case. Such q power cannot
be gotten anywhere. France, tor iii
stance, although a republic as our
own and nation Of the greatest value,
would not do. 1t must be nation
closely united to our own, in speech,
customs and law What other power
is fit except England? The Arena"
says: anglo American understand
ing is real. We understand each
other. If desirable, our laws are
based on English laws, our literature
comes from the same inspiration;
though we have been enemies, our
common deeds of heroism has wiped
this out. Hence we are now friends
of the highest knott
A good proof is given in the INA
tion,n Vol. 50: ENGLAND stood neu-
trail in the Spanish American war, but
as regards to the United States her
neutrality was of the most friendly
character. 1t made any coalition of
continental powers, in behalf of Spain,
an impossibility, and what is more, no
one can doubt that the action of
the British government commanded
the full support of the British sub
jects.n
Thus we see England, as well as be-
ing well disposed towards the United
States, is fully qualified for the posi-
ton as partner with our country.
The Atlantic Monthly says on the
present step of the United States:
''There is every sign that the United
States is entering upon a policy,
whether good or bad. which will en-
volve much closer relation than has
hitherto existed between the two ma
tiOns. If this is so, the United States
will need allies for the first time
since she became an independent ma
ton, and no ally will be at once so
valuable and of so little danger as
England. This is the bour for pro-
noting such friendliness between the
two nations, neither of which can
have any ADEQUATE grounds for hos
tility, and each of which may need
the others aid"
Now, if the United States needs an
ally, and that ally is England, when is
the time for the alliance? The time
for the alliance is at hand. Now is
the time when our country needs such
an ally to back her. Although she
seems to be in her prime, and certain
ly is, friends will never come too soon.
She has just stepped out of bounds,
and as child is liable to miss tep at
any time. Such misstep in her prime
would prove fatal. and therefore she
needs England, SO like herself in every
respect and the greatest power upon
the face of the earth, to back her.
That England and America are in
time to rule the world is clearly shown
by the advancement of both En-
gland already puts her arms half way
around the globe, without getting off
her own territory. The United States
does the same. This is great ambi-
ton, and what can further such an
ambition more than the friendly and
cooperating relations between the
for such relations-and why let a good
thing lass.
The Atlantic Monthly again says on
this predomenence: Eve preceive
will confer a lasting
favor and receive a reward if YOU will
