THE INEVITABLE.
Prom the Phil idclphla Irej.
Heecnt utterances of cabinet nlflceis
conllrm the reports to the effect that the
administration has decided to bold tho
Philippine Islcnd It Is no longer an
open question. tt has been almost
certain from the st irt that the Pnlted
Btates would bale to keep the islands.
The president clearly appreciated that
tact when ho Insisted on Including In tho
protoiol a clause providing that the peace
commissioners nt Paris should pas on
the question of tho tuture control and dis
position of tho Islands. The dlwpitch to
the llandn of poweiful war vessels, af
ter the Spanish flfct had been desttoyed,
waa another evidence as to the coiirso to
be pursued. If the I'nlted States were not
to tako possession of one or more of the
Islands there would haio been no need of
the vessel".
o
There arc two tourses this country can
follow: It must either abandon the
Islrnds and put Hraln In possession, or it
must tnkc temporary possession of them
under tho American ting. Any sensiblo
man will acknowledge that the task ot
compelling Spain to glvo the islands a
good government would bo Impos.slblo of
execution. To lcnic the Islands a pn
(o anarchy could not bo seriously thought
of. To take ono Island and leave tho oth
ers lu a state of nnurchv could not be
Justified. Theio is nothing to bo done but
to retain the Islands until such time as
their Inhabitants arc capable of govern
ing themsilves. The war was boun hi
Hie namo of humunltv and It will be cu
lled to the end em that line. Hvcn tho
people who use the silly word "Imperial
ism" hiivo not dared to advocate tho en
tile abandonment of the Island. The
t'nlted States Is badly In need of a n ival
station lu thoso waters, and that alone
compels us to stnv. If the naial slaton
and commercial base weie to bo defended
wo must havo an Island, and If wo have
one Island wo should take the responsi
bility of keeping older In tho others un

This nation must, in ell-dete lisp, see
that tho mnikel of Eastern Asia are not

ers are grabbing up China, and If wo

have no markets for our surplus product.
If production Increases In the next llf'y
years at tho same ratio as In the last
fifty years, this country would suffer
enormously by being vhut out of the mar
kets ot Eastern Asia. A recent complli
tlou shows that tho eight leading nations
