From this time on Americans should be slow, indeed, in resorting to the old time familiar pastime of “twisting the lion’s tail.” Had Great Britain’s sympathies gone with the rest of Europe’s there would, almost to a certainty, have been a Bhropean coalition against us at the outbreak of the Spanish war; and certainly beyond all question, bed rint and sympathy of England been openly with us, we would have been prevented, by the united navies of Europe, from keeping the PhiUipine Islands. England has been our only effective friend, though Japan’s friendship ought also to be kept forever in mind by all patriotic Americans.

Spain has accepted our peace conditions and the Phillipines are now ours. They are a rich and glorious addition to our national domain, and their possession will benefit our country to a vast extent and the Phillipines themselves in an immeasurably greater degree. In fact, it is the good ‘ It will do the Phillipines that chiefly justifies, in our opinion, the keep ing of the islands, without a more adequate compensation to Spain for their loss. It is true that according to tim.e honored custom, they were ours by right of conquest; but ns we look at it, the “right of conquest” as so applied, is a survival of barbarism, and ought to follow the right of piracy, the “right of serach” and the right to hold slaves into the limbo of of rights that were not right. But in this case a right that can not be disputed, the right of humanity, demanded that we should keep the islands, and—we have kept them, and should make the most of them.
