WHAT SENATOR HOAR FORGETs.

There Is no man in the public service OF the
Nation to-day more highly entitled to the re-
spect OF his fellow-citizeDs OF all parties than
Is the venerable senior Senator from Massa-
chusetts. His personal character, his ability,
his scholarship. his earnest and devoted patriot
ISM have all marked him as man worthy OF
the best traditions OF the Chamber in which he
sits But at the present time in his discussion
of the terms Of peace with Spain and Of the
settlement OF the issues OF the war, even his
warmest friends are constrained TO confess that
he does himself scant justice. His speech OF
Monday was eloquent and doubtless sincere.
but ii displayed a narrowness Of vision and
lack Of comprehension Of current tendencies
curlously in contrast with hts reputation.
Senator Hoar recalls many facts from his
tory But he seems TO forget many more or
equal pertnence. He seems to forget that this
continent was once peopled with race OF men
known as North American Indians. with whom
the very men who framed the Declaration OF
Independence dealt in a manner at striking
variance with the Interpretation which he now
nuts upon that venerable document. He seems
10 forget that II was at later date largely pop
Mated by n racc known as African slaves held
rs such by the same men who framed the Con-
stltution which he invokes, and set free by the
exercise Of right not expressly granted by
that instrument He seems 70 forget that only
n few years ago n large proportion OF our fel-
lowcountrymen were what were termed Sc
ccssionists, and that they were dealt with by
the Government which he cordially supported
by measures for which no literal warrant may
be found in the text OF the Declaration or Con-
stitution.
It Is not to be argued that whatever has been
was right. But these things are part of the
history of the Nation. They are TO be remem-
bered and considered when the Nations historic
policy IS under review. And II Senator lloar
recalls them. and reckons. according to his pres
ent utterances, that the Fathers of the Consti-
tuition were themselves false TO that instrument
and TO the Declaration, and that the greatest
and best Of their successors have been similarly
false. what will there be left for him to pin
his faith TO? Or If those men were right Is he
nreDared 10 deny the right Of himself and his
colleagues 10 follow in their footsteps!

companies concerned even to entertain the
proposition Of a joint use Of single line or
double tracks in Amsterdam-ave. Their repre-
sentatives assert that this Is an imposslbilty,
but they have produced no convincing proofs
or indeed established presumption In favor or
their contention. They have already accepted
precisely such an arrangement OH the Boule-
ward and the prevalent belief IS that there IL
nothing but their own calculations OF advan-
tage TO require the operation Of four tracks
in Amsterdam-ave Assertions of managers
and counsel produce little effect. so frequently
have similar representations been completely
falsliied by the course OF events 1t VIII be
long time. for example, before New-Nork for
gets the solemn. reiterated announcement or the
Metropolitan Traction people that they could
not possibly run their cars at a safe rate or
speed around the Union Square curves and that
II 1t could he done 1t would cause such con-
gcstion that they would have to take one third
OF the cars Off the line. We believe that the
Amsterdam-ave. agitation is wise and honest
and altogether commendablc. and we sincerely
hope II may be successful.

PrDrPAITSN AND EXPANSION.

Senator Honr processes TO be Federallst OF
rho Federalists in his Interpretation OF the Con-
stitution. He believes fully In the doctrine or
imnlicd powcrs Yet curously enough, IN MS
anti.expanson argument we find him taking
nositlon exactly opposite to that Of the Federal
jst leaders In dealing with our first case OF ex-
nansion--an expansion which they opposed as
strenuously as Senator Hoar opposes that now
impending.
Senator Hoar admits the power to acquire
territory ain order 10 form ii more perfect union
establish Justice secure domestic tranquility.
orc lint saws that we cannot extend our Do
minion over people except 10 incorporate them
into our citizenship. That is just what the early
Fedcrolists snid we could not do. In the case
Of Louisiana they maintained that the territory
could be held only as property and that no
power existed for Incorporating foreign territory
into the Union and disturbing its balance ana
that such power could he acquired only by
unanimous consent Of all the States. They went
further than those who favored the Louisiana
Treaty In affirming the absolute right OF acqul-
sitIon and colonial tioD and they founded their
objection 10 Louisiana on the guarantee OF the
treaty that its inhabitants should be admitted
into the Union as soon ms convenient. Roger
Gr,swod declared. "A now Territory and new
"subiects NAV undoubtedly be obtained by con
quest and by purchase; but neither the con-
"ouest nor the purchase can incorporate them
Into the Union. They must remain In the con

FOR SENATOR, JOHN KEAN.

The Republican majority In the New-Jersey
Ieytslature have signifed their intention 10
send John Kean to the United States Senate
I'm place of James Smith. There is no opposl-
ton 10 Mr. Kean. II was perfectly well IN
derstood all through last years campaign that
Ronublican success meant MI Kean's cleo
ton. and that understanding prevented rivalry
after the November election from men whose
character talents and party services would
have otherwise Justified aspirations in that di-
recdon.
There are few men better known in New
Jersey than John Kean. He Is forty-seven
years old and unmarried. Mr.. Kean was grad
mated from Columbia College Law School, ana
WAS admitted to the New-Jersey bar, but he
does not practise law. Numerous business ana
financial interests absorb most OF his time, ana
what spare hours he has are given up 10 poiili-
all recreation. He is president OF the Eliza
beth Gas Company and the directing spirit III
the Elizabeth Water Company and Nauohai
State Bank. besides having large trolley inter-
ests and other investments.
Twice was Mr. Kean elected, and once de-
feated. for Congress In strong Democratic
district In 1892 he ran for Governor against
George T. Werts. The returns defeated Mt.
Kean by 1925 votes, but there are thousands Oh
pcrsons in New-Jersey who believe that he
was cheated ont Of the Governorshp When
Mr.. Kean failed by hairs breadth 10 capture
tho nomination for Governor IN 1879 IL looked
rs II his services TO the Republican party han
hoon forgotten. But Mr.. Kean never lost his
habltual serenity. He was as sunny -tempered
as ever. and so far az outward appearances
went the disappointment made no mark upon
him.
Now that the Scnatorshp is falling Into MI
Kean's lap Ike ripe apple. he is just as calm
and suave as ever attending to business as
usual. and betraying no undue exaltation or
exuberance. Mr. Kean's four years OF service
in the House OF Repre- senatives enabled him
to get a good grip on Congressional procedure
and among the numerous friendships then
formed and since maintained no one Is more
steadfast than that between Mr.. Kean and
Sneaker Reed Mr.. Kean IS not an orator but
he can make n plain, straightforward speech
especIally on business matters.
