Lord Mountmorre* in Scottish
Life discusses the alliance ques-
tion from a professedly British
standpoint. He has a refreshing
way of driving home with pecul-
iarly sensible logic some un-
questionably appealing argu-
ments, the latter not always
creditable to Americans, a fact
which he manages to exploit with
really entertaining flights of ig-
norance and snobbish arrogance.
We are not going to be sorry for
ourselves, however, because his
lordship has informed us that
we have no mature solidity of
character. We are young yet:
we have all the virtues and vices
of the young, says Lord Mount-
morres. We are light-hearted,
kind-hearted, effusive, mirthful,
excitable, nervous, self-exalted,
violent in likes and dislikes and
noon. In all our attributes we
are, like our country, very young
indeed. After saying such
things of us he goes the whole
bog —the expression isexcusable,
you will admit—and observes
with refreshing bluntness of self-
sufficiency.
I
But the American, his worst enemy
will tell otic, i not only a .self-seeker
and a utilitarian, but al -o unusually '
far-seeing and «long-headed. He '
will- and does see the benefit-, to be :
derived from an alliance with thi.* I
country, and would not be likely to do j
anything which would jeopardize those
benefit . Even, if, a enemies avow,
the American is given to shirking his
obligations and wriggling out of his
undertakings, when it suits him to do j
ao, those same enemies, if they know j
him at all. cannot but admit his scru- i
pulous exactitude in fulfilling his i
promises when he gains an advant-
age thereby. His «cutene* is the
greatest surety we can have that an
alliance would be honored by hitn. It
would pay him in the end to honor it,
and he would k-ow that.
This is absolutely superb. In
all the discussions of an Anglo-
Saxon alliance on both sides of
the pond, no such turn of the ar-
gument from a British stand-
point has yet been made. We
cannot get mad over it. In fact
it is enjoyable to a degree. The
frank assurance of one of Brit-
ain's bred sprigs of nobility
grows upon us. As we read
along, we are almost persuaded
that we have discovered a philos-
opher and that through him we
are being led to sec our own de-
ficiencies and sorely urgent
needs. He says:
Most people will, I believe, realise
that there are on both sides very real
benefits to be derived from, and inter-
«uta to be served by an alliance be-
tween two such countries as the
United States and the British empire
- a vast territory capable of produc-
ing all the necessaries of life to an al-
most limitless extent, but having
scanty organized protection for its
enormouit seaboard and rapidly grow-
ing commerce on the one hand, and
an overpopulated island, utterly inca-
patle of supporting its inhabitants on
its own produce in war time, but
deeply versed in arms and possessed
of the premier navy of the world, on
the other hand. Surely such a foun-
dation is solid enoug'.i lor an alliance
—It is certainly sounder than those
upon which most alliances in the past
have been built.
According to Lord Mount-
morrcs, America would have all
to gain and nothing whatever to
lose by having in Britain an ally
so superiorly equipped and also
possessing such a keen eye to
business. The United States is
business only, (treat Britain is
business and nearly all else dc-
sirable terrestially. It must be
confessed that we have learned
•bout ourselves aometbtaf we
bofore; that a great
overgrown country stuck to-
gether by expediency, feeding
Kurope and ourselves, building
factories and railroads and ships
for Kurope and ourselves paving
interest on bonds issued plenti-
fully enough for Kurope and
ourselves, making altogether a
spectacle marveled at by the
whole world including ourselves,
should have escaped the atten-
tion of so distinguished and
learned a British subject as Lord
Mountmorres, until he suddenly
finds he needs it in his business;
that while we come largely from
the same blood and bone as the
Lord, himself, raised bv and are
moulded by the same traditional
and institutional influences as he
and his countrymen, we yet re-
tain none of the redeeming
graces,—christian graces, shall
we say—of our forerunners and
sponsors. Mirabi/e die tu.

Some of the exchanges we re-
ceive, with their smeared and
blurred appearance are a dis-
grace to the newspaper fraterni-
ty. There is no excuse for it
no matter what the press. We
would certainly be ashamed to
mail such appearing stuff.
What's the matter with ¡Hern-
iating Cuba with Americans and
then when a majority of them
live there, just take a vote on the
subject and declare in favor of
annexation? provided McKin-
ley's conquest policy don't obvi-
ate the trouble.
