Obligations to Territories.
These are all matters of vital do
mestic concern, and besides them, out
side the charmed circle Of our own
national life in which our affections
command us, as well as our con-
sciences, there stand out our obliga-
tions toward our territories over sea.
Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, once
regarded as mere possessions, are no
longer to be selfishly exploited; they
are part of the domain of public con-
science and of serviceable and enlight-
ened craftsmanship. We must admin

them and with the same sense of re-
sponsfbility to them as toward our
own people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt we shall successfully enough
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is
lands to ourselves by ties of justice
and affection, but the performance of
our duty toward the Philippines is
more difficult and debatable matter.
We can satisfy the obligations Of gen.

navy for Germany as one 30 strong

count the cost of declaring var and

THE GREAT GETTYSBURG CELE.
BRATI0s.

The eyes of the whole world have
been upon Gettysburg during this
week. The most remarkable eeIebra-
ton which has ever taken place has
been in progress there during the past
four days.
The celebration is 10 make proml-
nent the 10th anniversary of the Bat
tie of Gettysburg; battle that. more
than any other. determined the con-
test between the North and the South.
Although the surrender of the Army
of Northern Virginia, which was the
real stronghold of the Gonfederacy,
did not take place for nearly two
years afterward. its strength was
never recovered after Gettysburg.
The great and interesting feature
OF the present anniversary occasion Is
the fact that fifty thousand of the
veterans of the two armies are at Get
tysburg this week. witnessing the in
termingling of the Blue and the Gray.
Fifty years ago two formidable. hos
tile armies were for three days In
deadly combat upon the field OF Get
tysburg. Some of the most terrific
fighting that has ever taken place. on
any battle field in the world found
Its counterpart upon that bloody
field. And the result was. that after
three days fighting Lees army retired
from the field, with Meades army too
badly crippled to follow 1t
To-day, as We have intImated, the old
soldiers of that battle. those who we're
upon both sides. are back there again.

spirit, but to stretch ont the fraternal
hand TO utter the kind word. and re
Joice together In the fact that the dag
OF raneor, the day Of ill-feeIing and
OF hate has passed. and that while
they we're once deadly enemies. they
are nov loving friends. aud that the
country. coming out from under this
baptism of blood. finds itself more
strongly cemented and firmly united
than ever before.
And all this has occurred within
the short period. In National life, Of
a half century.
We do not believe that this change
could have taken place 70 speedily
among any other people than AmerI-
cans. And We must remember thai
all these contending forces were
Americans These men loved their
country: had their homes here. and
were Interested IN their country. So
that when the wage Of battle had de-
elded the contest all aequieseed In
the decision. The North was mag
