Mr.. HOar on Asses.

European travel has manifestly had no
beneficial effect upon the mind OF the Hon.
GEORGE FRIsBIE HoAR. He comes home to
report with enthusiasm that the British,
as n rule, "think we are making big asses
OF ourselves " by maintaining our flag in
the Philippines. He announces that his
own view Of the matter is unchanged; that
is to say he also thinks that we are max
ing big asses OF ourselves.
Senator HoAR was on tho ocean when the
State Convention OF the Massachusetts
Republicans, an annual conclave for which
he entertains the highest respect about
every sixth year, met at Boston and failed
to discover anything asinine in the Philip
pine policy which he, and, as he alleges,
most OF the British nation think is making
ridiculous brutes Of us.
1t must be remembered however, that
this is not the year in which the Hon.
GEORGE FRIsBIE HoARs respect for the
opinion Of the Bay State Republican Con-
vention Is at the highest. His term in the
Senate will not end until March 3, 1901.
His respect for the ideas and utterances Of
the State organization will not reach its
npogee until about this time next year
