New York, November 9.-Senator George
+. Hoar OF Massachusetts has contrih-
uted an article on "our Duty to the Phil
ippiRes' to the Independent, which mp
pearel today He begins with review
Of the circumstances leading up TO the
war and continues;
Down to January /. 1899. the Ameri-
can people and the republican party were
committed to the doctrine that just gov
eminent rest upon the consent of the
governed, and that every people has the
right to dissolve at will the political con-
nection that binds 1t to another people.
In dealing with Cuba" says the writer,
1--WE acted upon those principles, but the
treaty of peace disclosed different pur-
pose as TO the Philippines, the inhabitants
Of which were much nearer Independence
when the treaty of peace was signed than
had ever been the people oil Cuba.
Their leader" writes Senator Hoar,
had been brought over to the islands by
a United States ship by the United States
authorities and was in arms at the head
of his forces with our full concurrence
and cooperation. II the statement at
trihuted to high official in one of our
departments. who is sometimes called
upon to sit in the cabinet with the presi-
dent, were actually made their leader had
been offered by President Mckinley the
high Office of colonel in the regular army
OF the United States. an offer which in
itself is a sufficient refutation OF all the
charges against him They had framed
provisional constitution, model Of its
kind. ana establishing a dictatorship like
that established by Bolivar in South
America. TO give place to a republic as
soon as the military condition should
make il possible
Looking back can any sane man doubt
the wisdom of those who desired to
amend tho treaty and TO deal with the
Philippine Islands as we did with Cuba:
to compel Spain to renounce her SOW
ereignty; to keep off all foreign nations
aud to aid the islanders in establishing
their own government according to their
own desire?'
The senator refers to the epithet
traitor" and other harsh words applied
to those who voted against tho peaca
treaty. and asks:
When the president said that forclblo
annexation according to our American
erosion, was he a copperhead? Was he
dtsioyal to the flag? Was not he a re-
publican Was there even an utterance
so calculated to give courage to Agui-
naldo and his people as that?"
as to our future attitude toward the
Fliipinos. Senator Hoar writes: "rhe
ume has come to make up your minds.
u YOU are 10 declare that you don't m IAN
To subjugate them or to enslaye them
that you will act toward them on the prin.
ciples and in the spirit OF your own dec
'araton of independence. the war can be-
anded In an hour. The refusal to make
this declaration in the beginning brought
m this war, and your refusal now to de-
clare yourselves is what is alone respon-
sible for Its continuance"
