poses to take jurisdiction of the Philip

be governed. Thus he announces the es-
sential doctrine of an unlimited tyranny.
We are to pursue the policy which we
condemned in Spain, and which has end
ed in unmitigated disaster.
We have loaded ourselves with pos
sessions which we do not need; we have
assumed Jurisdiction over millions of
human beings who do not recognize the
rightfulness of our authority. We have
extended our system of taxation, and
have increased the public debt in sum
of hundreds of millions. Our pension
rolls have been heightened to the end
of the first half of the next century, and
we are threatened with a permanent in-
crease of the army and navy at q cost Of
$150,0o0,ooO year. While we are not
to undervalue the achievements of the
army and navy, they are but slight
compensatlons for the sacrifices and suf
ferlngs incident to the war. 1t is the
boast that war has cemented the Union,
but the Union was compact and firm
when the war opened. Finally, all

proper method Of selecting judges he
says:
