Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, in his
address to the senate in reply to the re-
cent speech Of Mr.. Plat of Connecticut
opposing the Vest anticolonial resolu-
| ton said:
81 am quite sure that no man who
will hear what / say today will doubt
| that nothing could induce me to say il
but a commanding sense of public duty.
| dislike to differ from the president,
whose election hailed with such per
sonal satisfaction and such exdlting
authorizations for the republic. l dislike
to differ from so many of my party as
sociates in this chamber with whom ]
have for so many years trod the same
path and sought the same goal
II am one of those men who believe
that little that IS great or good or per-
manent for free people can be accom-
plished without the instrumentality of
party. And have believed religiously
and from my soul for half century in
the great doctrines and principles of
the Republican party l stood in a
humble capacity by its cradle. l do not
mean if I can help it to follow its
hearse. am sure | render it a service
am sure | help to protect and to pro-
long the life of that great organization
if ! can say or can do anything to keep
it from forsaking the great principles
| and doctrines in which alone it must
live or bear no life.
Il am to speak for my country, for
its whole past and for its whole fStlire
/ am to speak to a people WHOSE fate is
bound up in the preservation of our
great doctrine of constitutional liberty.
am to speak for the dead soldier who
gave his life for liberty that his death
might set seal upon his country's his
toric glory. | am to speak for the Re-
publican party, all of whose great ira
| ditions are at stake and all of whose
great achievements are in peril.
Certainly, Mr.. President, no man
can ever justly charge me with lack
of faith in my countrymen, or lack of
faith in the principles on which the re-
public is founded. l have in the fullest
measure that which stands as the cen
trail figure in the mighty group which
the apostle says is forever to abide
hope ! thank God that as my eyes
grow dim they look out on fairer
country, better people, brighter flu
ture.
at is not my purpose, of course to
discuss the general considerations which
affect any acquisition of sovereignty by
the American people over the Philip
pine Islands, which has been, or may
be, proposed. | am speaking today only
of the theory of constitutional interpre-
tation propounded by the senator from
Connecticut Mr.. Platt). If at any time
hereafter the senator shall seek to put
his theories into practice by reducing
to subsection a distant people, dwelling
in the tropics, aliens in blood, most of
them Moslem in faith incapable to
speak or comprehend our language, or
to read or to write any language, TO
whom the traditions and the doctrines
of civil liberty are unknown, it will be
time to point out what terrible results
and penalties this departure from our
constitutional principles will bring upon

FOUND DYING ON THE TRACK
Man Supposed to Be Mike Ruschak,
of Priceburg Meets q Hard Death.

Employees of the Marvine colliery
found an unknown man, mangled and
dying a few rods above the shaft, on
the Delaware and Hudson tracks,
shortly after daybreak yesterday morn
ing His legs were frightfully crushed
and he was otherwise cut and bruised
Consciousness had left him and it was
evident that he could not live long, but
ii was decided to remove him to the
Lackawanna hospital and he was
placed aboard the S.3S train. on the
way down he died, and the remains
were given in charge of Undertakers
ID. ID. Jones & Son.
An examination of the clothing dis
covered a store book made out to Mike
Ruschak by Bellman & Co., of Throop
Inquiry there revealed the fact that
such man worked as a miner for the
Pancoast Coal company, and that he
lived on Lincoln street, Priceburg. The
unGertakers sent a man to Pricebur-
to look for his relatives, but his search
was fruitless.
Ruschak was evidently about thirty
eight years of age, and at Bellman &
CO.'S store it was believed he was a
married man. How he came by his
death is not definitely known, but II is
supposed he was run down by a train
some time during the early morning.

CHRISTMAS AT HILLSIDE HOME.
Superintendent Beemer Took Good
Care of His Large Family.

Even the Hillside Home was not for
gotten by Santa Claus.
With the aid of the home committee
of the poor board and through the
agency of superintendent and Mrs.
Beemer hounteous' turkey dinner
was provided for all the inmates, and
such of them as could appreciate such
a thing were given some little present
that served as a reminder of the joyous
season and made the poor unfortunates
feel they were not altogether forgotten
and forsaken by the busy outside world.
The old men received fancy pipes, or
tobacco boxes, or neckkerchefs, gloves
or something of that sort, while the
old women were made happy with
shawls, shoulder blankets, handker-
chiefs or the like. The younger in
mates received gifts that We're equally
appropriate.
1t does not develop that there was
any dispensing Of the kind that John
Gibbons was wont to insist upon
against the protests of Mrs. Swan, but
superintendent Beemer saw that there
was a Christmas tree and candies and
nuts and oranges
That the inmates felt grateful for the
treatment accorded them is evidenced
in measure at least by the following,
which were poked through the bars Of
two Of the most heavily guarded cells.
Extra guards were placed on these
cells afterwards:
We wish you merry Christmas,
And all the year around
And at the transfer mission,
You will he heavenly bound.
Thank You, Mrs. Beemcr,
And all the ladies fair
For our turkey dinner
Cabbage and all the fare
We know you are successful
With all your kitchen care.

concert by the Home band in the

BACKUS' PLAYERS,

ON the BaCkus Bowling team there
are several remarkable players. The
team has played two matches with
the Bicycle club this season, and on
its own alleys won by an enormous
score. When they played. however. on
the Bicycle club alleys they were
beaten almost as badly.
In the first match, the two heroes
of the contest were Hopkins captain
of the BaCkus men, and William
Weichel of the same team. In one
of the matches each bowled POS, which
materially added in the Bicycle clubs
downfall.
The Wilkes Barre West End Wheel
mems club has also bowled here, and
early this season team of bowlers
came down from Buffalo and played
the Elks. The local teams, however.
held their own against all comers, and
have demonstrated the fact that they
can line up against the strongest
bowling aGgregations of the country.
There is a good deal of talk of
forming "A bowling league. which
would include the bowling teams of
this city and, say Wilkes Barre and
Carbondale.
A strong league could so be formed
and one which would give the local
enthusiasts and players much enjoy
ment and entertainment The league
could gradually be spread. and indeed,
team might be formed in Scranton,
which would give a hard tussle to
any team in the country This is no
idle boast for there is sufficient skill
ly strong team.
