d.
New York, Nov. Ex-senator George
f. Hoar, of Massachusetts, has contrib
uted an article on Our Duty to the
Philippines" to the Independent, which
will appear today. He begins with re-
view of the circumstances leading up
to the war with Spain and says that
down TO January /, 1899, the American
people and the republican party were
committed to the doctrine that just
governments rest upon the consent of
the governed, and that every people has
the right to dissolve at will The political
connection that binds it to another peo-
pie. In dealing With Cuba, says the
writer, We acted upon those principles,
but the treaty of peace disclosed diff
ferent purpose as to the Philippines, the
inhabitants of which We're much nearer
independence when the treaty of peace
was signed than ever had been the peo-
I pie of cuba.
Their leader" writes Senator Hoar,
had been brought over to the islands
in a United States ship by the United
States officers and was in arms a the
head of his forces with our full concur
renee and cooperation. III the state
ments attributed To a nigh official in
one of our departments, who is some
| times called upon TO sit in the cabinet
! With the cabinet, We're actually made,
their leader had been offered by Presi-
dent Mckinley the high office of colonel
lin the regular army of the United
states, an offer which in itself is a suf-
1 hcient REPUTATION of all the charges
against him. They had framed pro-
ivisional consultation. a model of its
\ kind, and established a dictatorship
4 like that established by Bolivar in
South America to give place to a repub-
Tic as soon as the military condition
/ should make it possible.
Looking back, can any man doubt
the wisdom of those who desired tc
amend The treaty and to deal with the
4 Philippines as we did With Cuba; u
compel spain TO renounce her sover-
eighty; to keep off all foreign nations
and to aid the islanders in establishing
their own government according t.
their own desire?'
