CONFLICT FOR CONQUEST
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON'S
SPEECH AT PEACE UNION.
Declares Mckinley and Cabinet
Should Have Resigned Rather
Than Prosecute Such a Warfare
As Has Been Waged Recently
Dewey's Lost Opportunity.

Mystic, Conn, Aug. 25.-Fully 5000
people attended the annual meeting; of
the Universal Peace Union and the
Connecticut Peace society, in the Peace
temple here today. At the morning ses-
sion President Love delivered brief
address on the Philippine situation.
Other addresses We're made by j. II.
/ Earl of Boston, Mrs. Comegys of Phila-
! delphia and Mrs. Hanna White of Le-
banon.
At this afternoons session the prin-
cipal address was by William. Lloyd
Garrison of Philadelphia, who took for
his theme No Compromise With War.
Mr. Garrison spoke, in part, as fol-
lows:
"A year ago, when, in the interest of
peace, we met upon this spot, the war
with Spain was in full blast. Then, IN
the national eye, a Spaniard was the
type of treachery and oppression, and
the sorrows of the suffering CuDans
filed our hearts.
What space a twelvemonth covers.
The Spaniard is no longer a monster,
, but respected as a brave and gallant
foe The Cubans, then patriots and
statesmen, now. in the opinion of mill
tary experts and politicians. are people
incapable of governing themselves.
Conflict For Conquest.
"A war with the device of freedom
and chivalry on its banners has devei-
oped into a conflict for conquest ana
baseness. AT The Hague the coneiave
of the great powers was each eagerly
engaged in plundering schemes OF Its
own.
rs it strange that the international
congress failed? 1t is not the armed
savagery of the Philippines that threat
ems America, but the savagery that
Theodore Roosevelt represented. HAD
Presidtn William Mckinley, under
standing the needlessneSS and inquiry
of the war forced upon Spain, Vetoed
the declaration of congress and avoWed
his purpose of resigning his hlgh once
rather than to prostitute 1t by SubserV-
fence to wrong, he would have made a
niche in the worlds spantheon. Had
John D. Long, a man of finer quanty
than the president and in touch With
the nobler sentiments which make ms
commonwealth exceptional parapnfas-
ing, the indignant response OF Cnaries
Sumner in fugitive slave days, WIS
A man before / was a slave commits
sioner declared Massachusetts, man
hood more precious that the secretary
shin of the navy and surrendered MS
portfolio, he would have occupied a
place in her love and respect now for
ever lost.
Dewey's Lost Opportunity.
And Admiral Dewey, the one man IN
military life who after distinguishing
himself in his destructive profession
refrained from self-laudation-had Ad-
miral Dewey, in protest of the Philip
pine betrayal, retired from the quarter
deck to private citizenship rather than
abet the outrage, the victory of Manila
would have paled in comparison
Political independence, however, mas
not been wanting, as is demonstrated
by such party adherents as Hoar,
Boutwell, and Edmunds-all honor to
them. But we look in vain for single
instance where an office has been eacrl-
feed to principle. Even the secretary
of state clings to his position forgetful
of his VOW when an untrammeled bard,
he wrote:
- For always in thine eyes. o, Liberty,
Shines that high light, whereby the
world is saved.
And though thou slay us, we will trust
in thee
HAS Liberty lost it's high light or
has John Hay lost his vision?"
