Of n great European empire and the pos
SCISSOR of many islands OF the sea has no
longer an acre of ground on the continent
which she discovered. and is shriveling up
within her own borders while she feeds
upon bitter memories. Without concep-
tion of human rights or democratic insti-
tutions. and with no regard for them when
forced to realize their existence, the En-
pre- of Spain has perished under the in
fexlble rule as TO the survival of the fit
test-has perished because it showed itself
unfit to endure
Froude in his book on the West Indies
relates that after the Revolutionary War,
the King and the Cabinet OF Great Brit
ain, fancying that other colonies would
fellow the example of secession set by the
United States and declare their independ-
ence. despairingly granted them local
rights and autonomous charters. To their
surprise these measures appeased the spir-
1t of discomfort and her colonies were
drawn in closer and more fraternal rela-
tions to the mother country.
The British ambassador ut the Court of
France recently proclaimed the beneficial
influence of our independence upon Great
Britain as well as upon ourselves. America
taught tn emother country n lesson. She
had the wisdom and the magnanimity to
learn it and apply it; and the eonsolida-
tioh iuu expansion OF her empire may be
largely attributed to it. Spain could never
learn that lesson. Her mind seemed to be
closed and her heart hardened against it,
and. aS she recalls the dust of Columbus
back to the land to which he gave a con-
tinent and the dream OF universal domin-
ion, she receives the last instruction from
this Republic. which all nations should at
tend, that Government which does not
rest on the recognition of the rights of
man and the community must surely fall.
