equality of capacity or of condition, but of equality
of rights and of opportunity, under which the power
and influence of superiority would be legitimately
exercised in government by the consent and for the
benefit of all, and there would be no pretension of
a prerogative inherent in the blood of a race, any
more than in an inherited caste.
T he United States has taken possession of the
island of Puerto Rico, and on that outpost of the
Antilles the genius of America encounters a sphinx
which propounds the enigma of the future destiny
of all the West Indies.
