AND THE STATES

The early statesmen of the United
States" says United Empire, 'pictur.
ed their country as eternally secure
a continental self-contained state
from the dangers of external attack
In this case theirs was the pioneering
spirit which carried the first colon
izers of America over seas, took them
over the mountains to the Pacific
coast, and has not permitted them to
rest ever since. Blocked on the north
by the political evolution of people
of the same kidney, as themselves,
they have spread east, west, and
south, and the sea could be no bar
rier to the descendants Tin theory OF
the men of the Mayf1ower. Accord
ingly the United States spread across
the Pacific, established herself in Gen.
trail America, and, having bitten into
Mexico in the north, is occupied with
the economic conquest of that inter-
esting country, with intervals in
which more direct method seems
imminent On the east we see that
the caribbean sea, the entrance to the
Panama Canal, absorbs much atten-
ton. Cuba has been occupied in a
evacuated, but each time the Amer
lean stamp is deeper. The formal in
corporation of Cuba with the United
States may be delayed. 1t involves a
color question which the United
States is by no means anxious to add
to her present problems, but as an in
stance of the complete absorption of
Cuba into the American orbit it may
be remarked that British trade with
the island has dwindled to such an
extent that it is threatened with the
same fate that has overtaken our
commerce with the Philippines, Ha
wall, and Porto Rico. British steam.
ers no longer call at Cuban ports. The
position taken up by the United
States with regard to the Free Re-
public of Liberia is another interest
ing departure. By advancing the mo-
the Black Republic Americans have
taken the first step towards the reg
ulation and protection of that ill-man-
aged colony. The experience of Lii
IBERIA is not a good testimony to the
powers of self-government of the
black man after a period of civiliza-
ton. That some black races do pos
sess organizing powers is shown by
the history of the Zulu tribes, but there
the foundation was a military one, and
the purpose chiefly, if not solely, for
defence varied by aggression. The
Pax Britannica has taken the stuf1ng
out of tribal organization, and the
West Coast Africans, who furnished
America with slaves. and whose des-
cendants returned to found a black
republic, had no such history behind
them and were in a sorry condition
of having nothing indigenous tC build
on. Their civilization, their political
theories, their very architecture were
borrowed, and fit neither their own
characters nor the circumstances of
life in a tropical colony. The United
States has had to stretch out her hand
once more over her adopted children,
and so she is saddled, in addition to
her Pacific and other coloniziDg ex-
periments, with the responsibility of
an African protectOrate."

have real grand opera, otherwise not,

Theater for the purpose, because Of
its size and conyeniences. The the
alter is to be remodeled for the pur-
pose and the acoustics adjusted.
Among the artists in this famous
company, which is known all along
the Pacific Coast from Vancouver to
Patagonia, are:
Sopranos, Tarquinia Tarkuini, Ami
no Matini, Balvina Pereira, Rita
DORA; mezzo sopranos, Ida ZizIann,
Flora Pineschi; tenors, Giuseppe Gior-

Bayagnoli, the conductor, is famous
throughout Europe and is a favorite
of Mascagni's He was recommended
to the Lombard management by Po-
laeco, who is well remembered at the
old Tivoli Theater in San Francisco.
Among the operas in the company's
repertoire are la Boheme," "Con-
chita, - Lucia" 'Traviata, "IsabeaH,"
and many of the standard operas pro-
duced on the Metropolitan stage.
