HOAR NOT NET CONVERTED.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hoar
has written letter to former Senator Ed
munds replying to an invitation to be
present at a meeting to be held tomorrow
night to discuss the Philippine question.
Senator Hoar declines to attend because he
thinks that what he will have TO say on
the Philippine question will be more ef-
fective IL said In his place in the Senate
than elsewhere. He adds:
81 have not changed the opinion formed
and expressed last winter except that IL
has been confirmed and strengthened by
what has happened since. IL We had dealt
with the people of the Philippine islands
as we undertook to deal with the people OF
Cuba, who we declared-and they certainly
had no better title-of right ought TO be free
and independent; IL instead OF undertaking
to buy them and then undertaking TO sub
jugate them by force, We had assured them
of our purpose to respect their rights. TO
protect them against foreign interference:
to aid them 10 restore order and 10 leave
them whenever they should desire to the
blessing or freedom and of self-government
We should have had no war. We should
have had no loss of life. We should have
had no large expenditure OF money. We
should not have tTampeled on the doctrines
upon which our own institutions are
founded. We should not have contradicted
the pledges of our fathers. We should not
have incurred the undying hatred OF the
people of the Philippine islands. We should
have received from their gratitude every
thing in the way of commercial advantage
or advantage of military or naval station
that their gratitude could bestow. We
should have the glory-with which the
glory of no other country In history could
be compared--of being the great liberator
in both hemispheres.
Terrible mischief has been already ac-
complishej through the blunder OF last
winters treaty. But IL is not too late
10 retrace our steps. Congress has not yet
committed itself TO the policy of imperial
ism. still less are the American people 80
committed. Ii is not too late 10 assure the
people of the Philippine islands that We
will not trample them under foot or compel
them to obey US against their Will: that We
Will protect them against foreign cupidfty.
that we will aid them TO restore order:
that we will aid them every way in our
power TO establish for themselves such
government as they may desire. that there
after our relations to them should be only
those OF friends and equals. If that were
done peace could be restored In an hour.
Order and prosperity and happiness would
prevail instead OF war and devastation.
The flag OF the United States which IL Is
sought to make the symbol OF conquest
and oppression would be as IL has ever been
till now, a symbol OF liberty and OF hope
TO all the nations OF the earth. Withdrawn
only from territory over which it waves
without right IL would continue TO wave
over that moral field over which is it's
rightful supremacy and from which IL could
never be hauled down.
