A PROBLEM TO SOLVE
The chances of war are shaping a
new destiny for the United States and
it has become a popular delusion to
point at England as an example of
the great and good results which fol
low a policy of territorial aggression
annexation or colonial extension
whichever term may suit the exigen
cies of the case
It must be remembered however
that while England has always been
ready to grab islands and establish
colonies she has never shown a dis
position to admit the people of her far
possessions into the parliament which
rules them With her the question of
repiesentation does not arise to check
the policy of raising her flag over the
savages of Mashonaland or the canni
bals of the South Sea Islands
Under our constitution the question
of annexation without representation
will be a serious one
The difference between colopial ex
tension which does not contemplate
representation and territorial annexa
tion which means a voice ior a
ogeneous community in the Councils
of the United States is exactly the
line of divergence between the En
glish and American points of view
In making or accepting tbs opportune
ties for territorial expansion now at
hand the English method is not an ex
ample nor -a guide St Louis Repub
lic
In combating th3 argument that the
annexation of Hawaii and other dis
tant countries will prove a burden and
expense to the United States the State
Journal cites the millions that Spain
has wuang from her dependenclesand
intimiesthat theUuited States
do as -well Thatis all true enough
but weM like to know what in -the
natae of common sense we are fight
ing -Spain for if it is not in reality
the outgrowth of the system by i which
shennade her colonies not only ay
their own expeoses but yield a
We canaot have one set ofclaws
andvane method of taxation for ouf
possessions and something entirely
different for the nation proper Ha
waii fcas been annexed to the United
States and we now favor giving t them
nlKbe advantages of this great andJ
glorious government We believe the
country made a ad bargain when it
took the islands and their debts an a
free gift but we are in favor of shak
ing the -nest of it not financially nor
politically but as a great GhrisSian
aation should by raising the poor -and
ignorant to our own level
Tiie political pot is boiling andsan

pirants for olfice might be mentioaied

ber of parties have small booms de-
veloping for representative but none
of them have made much headway
it is the general opinion that the fu
