Hoar and the Administration

~HosE administration supporters
who ''argue" Mr.. McKinley's
foreign policy by calling
their opponents traitors" will derive
but cold comfort from Senator Hears
latest utterance upon the Philippine
question.
From his earliest manhood Senator
Hoar has been an earnest supporter Of
republican principles, he is republic
can to-day, and for several years past
he has been regarded as by far the
ablest and most gifted republican in the
United States senate. 1t is a most re-
markable and significant circumstance
that Edmunds, Sherman and Hoar, the
three most distinguished republican
senator's of the last fifteen years, should
all be radically and uncompromisingly
opposed to the foreign policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
1t may very properly be said that
these men are grossly inconsistent in
continuing to act with the republican
party. believing as they do, that its
present policy bodies the destruction of
our free institutions. and means the
establishment of Imperialism in fact,
whatever the government may be IN
name But however questionable may
be their political attitude, their argu-
ments in favor of freedom for the Fill
pinos are simply unanswerable.
In Senator Hears article in the indie
pendent, as reported by the press dis
patches, there Is not a paragraph or Il
passage. which does not put Mr.. Nc
Kinley absolutely in the wrong. Among
other things he says that down to
January the first, 1899, the American
people and the republican party were
committed to the doctrine that just
government rests upon the consent Of
the governed. and that every people
has the right to dissolve at will the
another people,"
Can any honest and intelligent per-
son question the correctness of the SEN
ators statement upon this point. And
how does it agree with Mr.. Mckinley
policy toward the Filipinos? Just as
nearly as the principles of conquer
ing empire agree with those of a JUS
tce and freedom-loving republic and
no more so. The president coolly pro-
claims in the face of the world that the
islands are ours to do with as we
please because we both conquered and
bought them.
There is not connected sentence to
be found in the whole mass of our
country's patriotic literature, that will
sustain Mr. McKinley's Philippine
policy. If there is such a sentence we
| invite its quotation. It will be far more
effective than the plea that the decla-
ration Of independence is back num-
Der, or that it doesn't mean what 1t
says.
The senator declares that when the
treaty of peace with Spain was signed
the h1iiplnos were nearer independence
than the Cubans ever were. and that
declaration Of purpose not to sub
jusate or enslaVe them would end the
war in an hour. Whether this is liter
ally true now, certain il is that if at
the outset, instead of assuming the tone
of an imperial conqueror, Mr.. Mckinley
had assured the Filipinos that there
was no purpose on his part to snbju-
gate them, there never would have been
any war with them.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
Tenacity of tradition in the British army
is partly responsible for the severe losses.
and these would have been heavier still if
the khaki uniforms of some of the troops
had not been a poor target for the Beers.
1t remains to be seen whether battles yet
to be fought will see any modification of
the rule that an officer must not seek
cover. This war may develop some COM
promise between the value of British
officers example and the value of his life

Lumbermcn's Wages.

Loggers are just beginning to look
for men for the woods for the winters
work, and they are just now having
quite time in getting all they need
says the Herald. 1t is somewhat
early yet to catch them, and when
snow flies and railroad work ceases a
new source of supply will be opened
up. Lumber work this winter, how
ever. is in such shape that il can not
afford to wait very long for men, and
the consequence is likely to be, in the
opinion of some men who are CONVEX
SAINT with the situation, that before
snow flies wages in the woods will
have another advance.
just now the wages are fancy, COM
pared with former wages in the woods.
The poorest kind of men, doing the
lowest varieties of work in the woods,
are getting at least $50, and the wages
run from that up. This includes
board, and for more hard. unthinking
labor it is about as good as wages ever
get. Yet they are likely to get even
a little higher than that, according to

the next step will be an application

creditors in general of the society.
1t is said that the society has not

The United States supreme court
has finally rendered its decision in
the case OF the Northern Pacific Rail
way Co. vs.. the treasurer ofJefferson
county, Montana. The caseinvolves
the right Of the state authorities to
tax the railroad lands within the
Northern Pacific grant, which are
unpatcnted because their character
with reference to mineral has not
been determined. The railroad COM
pany contended that such right had
not existed but the decision of the
circuit court was against the COM
pany and the supreme court upheld
this opinion. Brewer, Shiras, White
and Peckham dissented. La counties
where there had been no dispute con-
corning the method OF assessment or
price fixed the company will now be
obliged to settle. Fergus county,
where such disputes did exist, has
already made a settlement and is
not affected by the decision.
