although considerable success has attended

the result that many conclusions at which they
have arrived are inconsistent and displeasing TO
all parties.
The only completely satisfactory features are
the disarmament and dsbandment OF the ma

abolition Of the kingship. These incidents great

Americans Have a Right to De-

tatives, ninety of whose 119 mem
bers are Republicans, to address
that body: a most unusual courtesy,
for which Col. Bryan returned
eloquent thanks. His remarks were
free from politics. A recess was
taken in order that the legislators
might greet the distinguished visitor.
Mr.. Bryan, at a Democratic BAN
quet to night, said:
''Tbe ratification of the treaty in
stead of committing the United
States to a colonial policy really
clears the way for the recognition
the Philippine Republic. Lincoln,
in his first inaugural message, con-
densed an uuanswerable argument
into a brief question, when he asked:
Can aliens make treaties aasier than
aliens make lawsf' The same argu-
ment is presented in the question /:
Gould the independence of the Fill
ipinos be secured more easily by
diplomacy from a foreign and hos
tile nation than it can through laws
passed by Congress and voicipg the
sentiments Of the American people
alone? If independence 10 more
desirable to our people than a colo
NAL policy, who is there or what is
there to prevent the recognition of
Philippine independence. 1t is alb
surb to say that the United States
can be transformed from a republic
into an empire without consulting
the voters.
"The imperilalists may be willing
to deny to the Filipinos the right TO
govern themselves, but they cannot
deny to I the American people the
right to determine the policy To be
pursued by the United States in the
settlement of the Philippine question.
"Until the people express them
selves We can only guess at their
views, but is it not safer to suppose
that they will adhere to the ideas
and policies of century than to as
sumo that they will go back TO the
creed OF kings and to the gospel of
forcef In commemoration OF the
fact that France was Our ally in sc.
curing independence the citizens OF
that nation joined with the citizens
of the United States in placing in
New York harbor a heroic statue
representing Liberty Enightening

Liberty back to France and borrow

According to the constitution of the
United States, the President and d e
Senate are charged with the duty OF
making treaties with foreign countries.
The House of Representatives has no
share OF responsibility in this matter.
The executive department negotiates the
treaty and submits it to the senate for
ratification or rejection. 1t can have no
binding force until ratified by the senate.
But when ratified. is absolutely binding
on every department of the government,
including the House of Representatives.
The Spanish treaty just ratified by the
Senate, contains a clause providing for
the payment of twenty million dollars to
Spain. Now, if the House should refuse
to make the necessary appropriation to
TO carry out this provision of the treaty,
it would to all intents and purposes be-
come a part of the treaty-mal<ing pow
er, in violation Of a plain provision of
constitution. In view of these facts, it
seems to us that the House OF Represen-
tatives has no discretion in the matter.
1t is an imperative duty to make the re-
quired appropriation. .Otherwis t
would be guilty of infringing the rights
OF u coordinate branch of the governs
ment and arrogating to itself powers
not conferred by the constitution. 1t is
true thar, according to the constitution
itself, appropriations bills must originate
in the House. But thjs does not imply
that the House has the right to withhold
an appropriation made necessary by the
action OF the Executive aud the Senate
in the exercise of their unquestioned and
legitimate duties under the constitution.
1t would be a sorry spectacle to see one
branch OF the national legislature deiyine
the other branch aud the Executive and
assuming the right TO Duliify a treaty
negotiated and ratified in the regular
legal manner. That would be an exam
pie OF house divided against tself, ant
Holy Writ informs us ofthe fate of sucl
