ANSWERED BY THE RECORD.

There are several questions which the
local mouthpiece of Mark Hanna would
undertake TO answer for the world, in
volving as they do an explanation of
its change of front on the issue of for
chile expansion:
l. Was it less reasonable TO criticise
the administration during the war with
Spain than to crfticise ii in the war
with the Filipinos?
.. Is a European power less capable
of extracting aid and comfort from iad-
verse comment on the administration.
than is tribe of South Pacific island
e-s?
g. Is it not fact that, during the war
with Spain. the Salt Lake Tribune re-
peatedly referred to the men at the
head of this government as thieves
and imbeciles,' who were actuated by
greed and partisanship. whose patriot
ism bore the dollar mark. and who de-
liberateIy bartered away the lives of
American heroes for political pulls?
4. Isn't it a fact that Hanna, Elk
ms. Plat & Co." handled the admins
tration and controlled the government
III 1888, anu lndl 3lChlElcS . ChSSi III
obedience Of their every mandate hu-
inflated the American people and
shamed the nation before all the world?
And aren't the same influences in con-
trol in 1899?
5. If it was permissible and patriotic
to eriticise the syndicate in control of
national affairs last year, why isn't it
tnis year? Has there been any change
of administration? Has the syndicate
lost its grip? Or is this change appar-
ent only in newspapers that have re-
nounced the silver cause?
g. Didn't we find the insurgents in
Luzon engaged in a cause infinitely
higher than our revolutionary forefath-
ers engaged in between 1775 and 1892
4 Were not the services of the Tagal
troops accepted and utilized by the
United States as allies? And is it not
a fact.tha General Merritt deliberately
ignored the insurgent leaders after
those services had been rendered? If
not, why has our Republican contem-
porary told US So?
Supposing our neighbor has the cour-
age to attempt to answer these ques-
tions. will it answer them according to
the record as shown in its files?

MEXICO AND SPAIN.

Elsewhere in today's Herald appears
a communication from Mr.. George
Westervelt, who attributes to The Her.
aid paragraph taken verbatim from
the Tribune for purposes of comment.
However, he asks an explanation of
the differences between our title to the
Philippines and our title to territory
acquired at the close of the Mexican
war. In considering this question. it
is necessary to keep in mind the funda-
mental laws of this republic, its con-
stitutional limitations, its official decIa-
rations and its implied as well as ex-
pressed pledges. not only to the Colo
nists and to other nations. but to the
people of this country whence the gov
eminent derives its power; for We can
have no just title except that 1t is based
upon moral or legal right.
Titles to territory are acquired by
discovery, by conquest. by purchase. or
by gift. Upon what is our alleged title
TO the Philippines basede Not upon
discovery. They were discovered sew
eral centuries before any American
sailor set foot upon their soil. Not
upon conquest President Mckinley
has disclaimed this time and again.
Nobody made us a present of those is
lands. Then imperialists are compelled
to base their claim on purchase.
From whom did We purchase the Phil
ippine archipelago? History Informs US

planned the necessity of administering
a rebuke 20 the libelers, showed how
the enemies of Mr.. Roberts had been
marshaled under the banner of the cru
SADIE and called upon his friends in all
parties to stand together in the city
election. But no. The News, knowing
the situation perfectly. told tLem the
day before the election that such ac-
ton would be unchristian and that
Republicans had no business to con-
Germ themselves about attacks upon
their church and their people; that
Democrats would have to resent these
assaults alone. That was the time and
the occasion for our evening contempo-
rary to have shown its great soiicitude
for its church-by keeping silent. at
least.

money to buy him horse. He thought it
would be better TO ride his own animal
around the circuit than to borrow trans
portation. 1t was a sorry-looking steed,
this. but IL answered the purpose and,
what was more 10 the point. it was cheap.
So. after he had bought it. he rode 1t
home. His father was in the barnyard
when he came in and he looked critically
at the animal.
Where did yet git that boss. FRANKIE"
he asked.
