SATURDAY, JULY 2, lS'.KS
THK NATIONS l'UKII..
The stability of American institu
tions is in greater daDger at thistime
than at any period since the Declara
tion Independence was finned, and
every citizen should be aroused to a
realization of this; danger, and should
use every means within his power to
combat it.
The spirit of imperial; -i a::d the
lust for conquest and territorial ag"
grandizement and expansion, unless
subdued now. in their incipieucy, are
destined at some future day, to cause
the overthrow of the grandest scheme
of government ever formed upon earth.
There is no truer saying than that t-hi3-tory
repeats itself,'' and the history of
imperialism, colon zation and aggran
dizement is the story of effete empires
and ruined republics. No more forceful
illustration of this fact can be found
than the history of the monarchy with
which we are now at war.
Spain has. during her existence,
controlled vast possessions on the con
tineut of Europe; she owned and drew
tribute from all of Mexico, Central and
South America; of the West Indies,
the Philippines, Canaries, and other
islands in every part cf the world. To
day she holds by a thread, which is lia
ble to break at any minute, the small
est fraction of her former territory.
She has lost eveiy foot of the land she
owned on the American continent, and
in the West Indies she retainsor.ly Cu
ba and Porto I'ico. The lormer of
these will soon be an independent re
public, and tho latter will before long
be in possession of the United State?.
The Philippines are doubtless under
the control of Artniiral Dewey by this
time, and it is altogether likely thai a
republic will be established theie. In
fact, everything seeens to indie te that
Spain will soon le stripped of eveij
inch of her territory except that of her
peninsular home, and even there the
government is tottering and is liable to
be over-turned at any time. The peo
ple are driven to desperation by the
awful taxes laid upon them for the pur
pose of keeping large armies in the
field in order to hold the colonies in
subjection and to suppress insurrec
tions of subjects on distant islands,
and their patience is well-nigh ex
hausted. Ancient liouis furnishes another apt
illustration "Rome, who sat proudly
on her seven hills, and from her throne
of boauty ruled the world'' is now but
a subject of history. She subdued the
world, and was crushed by her own
weight.
May the divine liuler of Nations
preserve the great republic from such
a fate!
Every tradition of the nation and
every precept of Americmism are op
posed to the idea of imperialism.
Washington cautioned againet it in his
farewell address, and every one of the
founders of the republic opposed it
Are we of this latter day,when wrought
up to a high tension by the excitement
of war and the success of American
arms, to set at naught the cherished
ideas and advice of the framers of our
constitution, the most perfect political
document ever written by human
bands? To do so would be suicidal
We have maintained our supremacy on
this continent by a strict enforcement
of the Monrce doctrine, which means
that we have said to tbe nations of
Europe, "Ytu let us alone in America,
and we will let you alone in the rest of
the world." To depart from this rule
now would be to involve ourselves in
every international dispute that might
arise. Tbe moment that we step off
the American continent tbe nations of
Europe will consider therngelves justi
Ged in inr-ddlhur with affairs in this
hemisphere, and the consequence will
be that vre will not onlv have to main
tain large armies in lh- different pos
! sessions which we may arq-ilrp. lut our
homearmytr.u.it. h I:rg?Iy increased.
This meus increased taxation, with
no resulting tent-til except tho e'.ory cf
having "an wpire upon which the sun
nevrr spH.
Thin lathe beginning-of thori:d. In
creased revenues and increased expend
itures open the way for official corrup
tion and the plitnd-r of the public.
This means still higher. taxation, and
finally revolution and ruin.
This is a gloomy picture, hut it is
mi-rely a reflection of history. Let
every patriot take warning.
It would seem that the contemplated
sending of a fleet to bombard the coast
cilie3 of Spain .would be the wisest
mtve that could be mude and will no
d'.tuht cause thf war to he unled in
short order. The gieat nmj.-iity of
th Spanish people ate kept in com
pile ignorance cf the true siftiHtion,
and ate led to believe that the Spanish
ar:s are everywhere victorious and
that the American army and navy are
almost annihilated. To bombaid Cadiz
and Duiceloua wonld bo to demonstrate
to tlu-so people that we are n. t only
ah!e :o take care of our own country,
but to carry the war into that of the
ennjv. This would certainly cause
Spaiu to sue for peace at once, and
would almost as certainly result in the
overthrow of that government, for the
i-void!i -mists are only held in check by
th-ir leaders in order to allow a suc-
epsnfu! prosecution of the war. When
it ;s shown to them that the govern
ment h;s been deceiving them, and
that th- witr is a failure, the end of the
Sp misti dynasty has come. Let the
th'f t go to Europe.
P
Ti'K people who are taking sra;ll
portions of tho government loan are
not doing it as an investment, but in
or.ii r to len t their aid in prosecuting
th- vr,-r. They would just as soon
have i:on-intere.t I eaiing bjr.ds s
thos bearing three per cut interest.
But then the Shyiocks of Wa'.l street
wouldn't, and they are the ones whose
interests are to Le consulted.
'"Tiik Cass county fair hi's been a
faice for several yeais," says the Ne
braska City News, "and everybody (ex
cept ' hose who are getting a pull at the
appropriation) is aware of the fact that
it is a waste of money to hold a fair
his e r. But the funds can be
reached, and must be spent iu some
wa v."
Ik jo.i are opposed to allowing the
Cass county agriculture society to rob
the tax-pa ers o ths county of 70 or
J5"0, make a protest. nte your
opinion on the. matter to The JoL'ii-
n'al and it will be handled to the best
advantage.
Tiik decision of the supreme court
ou the Oaiaba police commission law
renders the election cf an anti republi
can to the supreme bench this fall an
absolute certainty. But, then, there
never was any doubt on that mutter.
