In the New York Sun of vostctiluy
appeared a statement by Senatoi Fora
her, of Ohio, of opinion concerning the
priipoItIon that the North should it
turn to the South in token of tetored
amity and comradeship the Confedei
nte lings captured in battle during the
war of secession. I'm t of It, most ot It,
In fact, t elates to the reasons which
impelled Ctcneral Foraker, when gtuer
not of Ohio, to defv President Clove
land's attempt In 1PS7 to force such a
i etui n. These had to do with Mr.
Cleveland's own unfortunate nttitude
both dining and since that war and
alo with the unlinuliuess and effi ont--iy
of his attempt.
"Hut now," sajs Senator Foraker,
'we have an entlielv different situa
tion Tin. nres-ent president of tlie
I'nltod States was not only In full sym
pathy with the Union cause, but ho
fought for it with distinguished bfav
ct j and devotion fiom the beginning
until the ending of the conllict. lie
bole an Impoitant part In the captures.
Ills action In favoilng a leturn would
not be misinterpreted No Improper
significance tould bo attached to It.
ll thoo who opposed the proposition
when advanced by .Mr. Cleveland have
conllilince, icspect and admiration for
the wisdom and patllotlsm of l't evi
dent MeKtnley, anil theiefoie know
theie could be no other puipoe In it
all than to subervo our common wei
faie. It could not be connected In any
way with political sutcess or defeat
It could not In tlie slightest affect the
veitllct Hint has been lendeied with re
spect to secession and disunion.
' Hut In anolhei respect the situation
Is exceptionally favoiable. We are at
war with i fotelgn nation, and no sec
tion of the countt y is mote patilotic
and zealous In Hie .support of our cause
than the South. Those who bote aims
against the t'nlon have by thousands
engage tl in its service. Some of Hie
most distinguished olllcets of the Con
federate aimy cie manning as gener
als at the head of our columns. They
aie now as conspicuous for the llag as
they were then against It. In the con
giess every war mcasuie has been pat
riotically hiippoited bv all the iepie-s-ontnthes
of the seceding states, and
Hie administration idles upon them
with entire confidence and In Hie belief
and knowledge that sectional lines and
past differences havo been effaced for
the purposes of the pending struggle,
and that to the end of it all alike will
lemember only that they aie Ameri
cans. Theie Ins been a new dedication
to the caus- of llbcity. humanity, and
fiee institutions. It einbiaces all tha
people of eveiy state and fceetloii. To
the men who fought with Grant nnd
Sherman nothing could be moie giati
fylng than the lealizatlou that thev
have lived to see the day when the
t'liion they upheld Is defended with all
the at dor of sincere pattlotism by the
men who fought with l.ee and Jack
son. "It Is pre-eminently a time for unity
of sentiment, hat ninny of action, and
all-piev ailing friendship and good fel
lowship. Not only are Lee and 'Wheeler
and the men of the South marching
abtcast with Wade and Shafter and the
men of the Noith, but the b'ins of all
the states are side by side In our navy.
In Hie hatbor of Caidenas Ensign Hag
lev, of Noith Caiolina, and John 15.
Meek, of Ohio, gave up their lives to
gether on the deck of the Window. In
the bombaiitment of San Juan the bat
tleship Iowa was commanded by
Fighting Hob' Kvans, of Vitginla, and
In the far-away harbor ot Manila, the
gieat vlctoty of Dewey was achieved
by the hemic represent itives of almost
all the states of the Ui ion, thoo fiom
the South and those fiom the Noith
Swing Willi each other to win the day
for their common country and to add
glory and lenown to the Hag of our
fntlp rs. In the presence of such facts
we can well affoul to tuin out batks
on all but the lessons of the past, and,
blotting out the bitter memoiies of es
ttnngcinent and strife, picss forwnid
to the future with a common conlidenco
and pilde In the destiny that awaits
us."
Woids like these deseive the widest
publlcltj.
Spanish war craft leaving the Ameri
can navy department free to concen
H.ite its ships nnd Its energies upon tho
problem, thus far unsolved, ot coping
with Cervein's Hying squadron in the
Noith Atlantic.
The tardiness with lilt It re-lnforce-ments
have been despatched to him
opens up another Held of comment and
critic Ism with which Dewey himself
has nothing to tin. This tardiness in
humiliating If not unpardonable: but
It is probable that tho government has
done the best It could under the em
barrassing i Ircutrstances which hive
conftonted It since congress forced a
war befoic voting lnonty or authorizing
the preparations necessaiy to wage It
efiectlvely at tho drop of the hat.

Mnny persons arc predicting that the
war will so shake up public sentiment
that a lot of tho hangers on now bnr
nacled on American politics will be cut
adrift and the general tone of politics
made better. Them Is certainly big
room and welcome for such a pi edi
tion's fulfilment.
Heroic deciding whether we aie to
keep the Philippines or not, It was ob
viously le to make sure that we had
got and could hold thorn. This the ad
ministration is doing with ndtnliablo
foresight and eneigy.

Two jenrs ago no una dreamed of war

Hon with Hip unanimous support of con
gtes hud ollleliilly challenged war with
the mightiest nation In Uttrope, although
(in-lit llrltnln prssessed a licet one-half
of which could have annihilated our tny
and bombtrdud every city on our coaslN
without hindrance. Now var with nny
Hut opt an power wlilch has equal or supe.
rlor luval sttrneth to ours Is not more
unforeseen today than the Spanish war
wits two veirs ago. In ease of such war
wo havo two sea coasts n week s Journey
apart bv land and two months npuit bj
sea. Without ships enough to protect
one of out coasts ngnlnst the llect of
Prance, of Uernmnj, or of Russia, we
have two long co tst lines nnd no possi
bility of shifting tho fleet from one to tho
other to meet nit enemy's attack. If the
llect were divided In peace either half
might bo overwhelmed In war before they
could bo united bv the long voyage
around the Horn. With the fleet concen
trated on cither coast the other coast
could bo ravaged b a weak enemy with
Impunity.
- o
A gieat nation without direct commun
ication between Its coasts Is at an ugl
disadvantage. In tlmo of peace Its com
nurce Is at a disadvantage In time ot
war Its defense Is nt a tetrlblo disad
vantage. Our position Is what It would
be If with nti army of invasion about to
land on tlio Parlile cmst there were no
Pacllle railroads nnd It would take two
months to march an nrmv to meet them
What has happened this onr miy hap

Is a weak nitlon Into war with which we
wero hurried before we knew It It is ns

It does let us hope that this war will have
taught us the niiesslU of connecting our

these latter no tcblstancu could bo too

the ttuest dellultlons of the tetni. There
Is another Imperialism, tho Imperialism
ot tho nation, not of its tiller. Tliat Is
the new impctl.allsm of the day and of
the. future, by no means n pugnaiit but
lather welcome to the thoughtful Amer
ican mind.
o
Piicounted times New York lias been
callid an 'Imperial city. ' For u ei ntuty
tills his bcn known lib iho "Kmplre
state " In such sense, In its full anil log
leal expansion, we may well have an im
perial nation. Indeed, John Marshall,
in ally eighty ears ago, called this tho
"Ameilmn Hmnlie ' The time lias lomo
f to faco tho fact and get accustomed to it.
Wo are not going into laud-grabbing lor
the mete sako of greedy acqalsltlon. We
are not going to make a big empire Just
for tho bako of being big. Hut the Iso
lated, testrleteil, continental Idea, never
well sanctioned and never tpproved bj
reason, must henceforth be a tiling ot tho
past. Then Is no moro leason why our
material pe (-colons should be confined
within certain limits than whv our cotn
metce, our navels, our cltlturo and ob
spi ation, our human sympathies, should
be thus cotitlrcd. There tire, strong rea
sons why o should take nnd hold two
classes of lands, in whatoeir quattcr
of the woi Id they nny be found
o
Otto class consists of mi th 1 tnds ns Ho
so near these states as to belong natural
ly to our system nnd to involve in their
nilmlnlstialloii our peaco and welfare.
Hawaii Is such a territoty. Porto Illco
m.iv so be teckotied, and Cuba ussuredly
will be. unless as Is to be hoped-she
shall develop sufficient ability for self
gov eminent to make her un acceptable
Independent neighbor. The other class
consists of such lands, however remote,
as may through tho exigencies of war or
othervviso be practically and morally
foiced uiion us. Stub tue tho Philippines,
of which this nation is now taking pos
session, and wlilch It will ndmlnlstcr nc
coidlng to its judgment and ubllltj.. Wo
had to tako thun as u war measuto
against a hostile power, and. having
taken them, responsibility for theit fu
ture lests unavoidably upon us.
o
The cut Ions statement is put forw.lld
thut the posse sMon of a colonial empire
is Incompatible witli true icpuhl(caiiim.
Nothing could be much wider of tho
mark. The fact Is, as i vcr. history-reading
hchoolbjv knows, that lepubllcanltm
and tills form of Imperialism go hand in
hand. The greatest and most lasting
"empires" havo been built by republics
The example of Athens springs lendily to
mind a republic, et tlio founder of n
itiloiiial tniplio before wlilch that of
Alexander setius pott. Ot Home, whoso
woild-embiacliig empire was acquired uu
dir the n public Ore.tt Hritatn may bo
cited, too, a inouaicliy in fotm, but a de
mocracy in fact, who.so empire In all
quarteis of the globe has been built cp
since the Fulled Kingdom became lor all
ptaetleal pat poses u n public. So, too,
tho colonial dom iln of France is an out
giowth of the Third lit public. These cm.
plies aro gnater and lar moro enduring
than tho monarchical domains of Philip
II and of Napoleon Honapaite. The re
public is tho succe sxful empire-builder.
And this is so in theory as well as In
praetite The republican prlnclplo is tho
Impel Inl piinelple For only tlie state
that governs ithilf might is fitted to gov-
iii tilbutury slntcs and bring Hum up
to It own htnndaicl. The monarchical

Impressive example ol Spain Is Just bo
foie us Nii, this nation Itself Is a re

her flnest colonies In proceeding with
this suprimu development of her policy
and mission the Fulled States will do
well to bear In mind how Spain lost the

and how On at llrltnln lost tho Thliteeii

Besides that, the Fulled States could
carry on a most expensive wat for manv

that Is something which no other nation
