quite an expert at his trade.
Last week we were treated to a nice
snow fall of nearly six inches. Mon

roads nasty and keep the farmers off
land.
Mrs. Isaac Sivers, who has been very
sick for a week past, died at her home
on Monday morning. She and her

Russell is very much in need of a

HOAR OPPOSES "IMPERIALIsM."
Addresses the Senate for More Than Three
Hours on That Point.

Washington, April 18.-FOr more
than three hours yesterday HOar Oc-
cupied the attention of the senate with
speech in opposition to the policy of
imperialism upon which, he main
tanned. this government has embarked.
AS prepared the address was $4,000
words in length, but HOar omitted
much of it owing to an incipient attack
of the grip from which he was suffer
ing. He spoke for more than three
hours. and while 1t was a tremendous
strain on him the more important pas
sages of the argument were delivered
with force and vigOr The speech was
brilliantly written, was Illuminated
with splendid rhetorical figures, and
was rich with citations from history.
One of the notable parts of the address
was the eulogy of AguinaldO. Hoar
did not liken the insurgent leader to
Washington, as has been done here
tofore, but to KOssuth, Dom Paul,
Joubert. and Nathan Hale.
In statecraft he likened AguinaldO
and his associates in the leadership of
the FilipinOs to the best minds ever
produced in the Asiatic race-a race
which handed down to us "the scrip
lures of the Old and New Testaments,
the poetry of David, the elOquence of
Isaiah the wisdom of Solomon and
the profound philosophy of Paul"
One of the most effective parts of
the address was his fancied roll-calI
of some Of the distinguished statesmen
Of the United States on the question
Of the retention Of the Philippines He
began with George Washington and
closed with William Mckinley, each
in a sentence giving the reason for his
vote. Every vote was in the negative
except that of Aaron Burr, who voted
'yes'' and explained: "YOu are re-
peating my buccanneering expedition
down the Mississippi. l am to be vim
Dictated at last"
When the name of William McKin-
ley was called, he replied: "There has
been a cloud before my vision for
moment, but l see clearly now: | go
back to what | said two years ago:
'Forcible annexation is criminal ag-
gression; governments derive their
Just powers from the consent Of the
governed, not of some of them, but of
all of them I will stand with the
fathers of the republic. I will stand
with the founders Of the Republican
party. No"
The effect was dramatic as Hoar
pronounced his Deroration; the still
ness in the chamber was intense Ap-
plaCse swept over the galleries. but it
was quickly hushed by the president
pro tempore. His statement of what
he would do in the Philippines was
practically that he would extend the
Monroe doctrine over them.
