MIR. HOAR'S ARRANGEMENT OF
IMPERIALISM.

In whole and in detail the most scath-
Ing denunciat ton of the Administra-
TONS policy OF imperialism has come
from members of Mr.. McI<inley's party.
The Democrats have opposed it united
~ from the first, but they have not
said OF it such bitter things as have Mr..
Littleficld. of Maine. and Senator'S Hoar
and Davis. rs able Republicans as are
to be found in either house of Congress.
This is but natural. since Republicans
can denounce IL without being subjected
10 the imputation of partisan bias, and
for the like reason their utterances will
carry great weight with the American
people.
Senator Hoar has from the first been
ii consistent opponent OF bloody agrees
sion in the Philippines the first real
step toward Imperialism. Democrats
have differed with him in some
OF his views, even on this Qucs-
ton, but certainly there is none who
will not admit that in his speech on
Tuesday he gave a luminous exposition
of the Democratic conception of leglti-
mate expansion, as contrasted with i'm
pcrialism. Here it is:
There Is expansion enough in 1t (the
Decla ration OF Independence, but it is
the expansion OF freedom and not of
dcspotism; OF life. not of death. Never
was such growth in all human history
as that from the seed Thomas Jefferson
planted. 1t has covered the continent.
1t Is on both the seas. 1t has saved
South America 1t is revolutionizlng
Europe. 1t is the expansion of free
dom. If differs from your tinsel. pinch
beck pewter expansion as the growth
OF healthy youth into n strong man
differs from the eXpansan OF an ana
conda when he swallows his victim.
Ours is The expansion Of Thomas Jeffer-
son. Yours is the expansion OF Aaron
Burr. 1t is destined to as short life
and to n like fate.
I'm every accession OF territory to
this country ever made, we recognized
fully the doctrine OF the consent of the
governed and the doctrine that terri
tory so acquired must be held to be
made into States
Here is the meat OF the whole con-
troversy. II has not been better put;
1t will hardly be better put between this
and the Ides of November. This is the
declaration OF n Republican. grown old
honorable service OF his country. Sure
lv he cannot he accused of partisan ex-
aggeration OF the simulated passion OF
the dsmagoguc. 1t is deliberate ut
terance, delivered after mature study
and with the force of honest conviction
Senator Hoar should know whereof lie

judging at first hand as to the character
of the new Imperialism. He lives nj

that he has spoken the simple truth

THE WEBB HAYES INCIDENT.
augusta Chroniclc.)

The fact that Lieutcnant-Colonc
Webb Hayes has been relieved of his
command in the Philippines and is
coming home has given to the public a
story which throws IL great deal of light
upon our authority III the Island oil
Sulu under our famous treaty engi-
necred by General Bates.
The story which the deposing OF
I-ieutenantColonel Hayes brings to
light is as follows:
During the campaign just ended
Colonel Petit sent an officer and scvc-
raj men to an island near the Sulus to
capture an officer of Aguinaldo'S army
who was hiding there.
The little party upon reaching tho
Island were told by Dato Alto that, ac-
cording to the provisions of the treaty
signed by the Sultan and General
Bates. American soldiers could not land
with their guns. The young officer in
charge at first demurred. but finally
gave way, and the soldiers disem-
barked without arms. They were inn
mediately surrounded by the Dato's
soldiery and other natives who relieved
them of their tobacco, money and
watches. The officer was fearful of
OFFENDING the Dato's men, and he made
no protest of consequence. He asked
that Aguinaldos officer be surrendered
to him.
More tobacco demanded one of the
Datos lieutcnants. More tobacco was
given and another request made for the
insurgent officer
Give us SO in gold and we will find
him for YOU said the Dato. The officer
in charge produced the $50 and the pris-
oner was turned over to him.
Colonel Petit approved of tho dip
lomatic' manner in which the prisoner
had been secured. Licutenant- Colonel
Hayes disapprovcd. lie intimated that
Colonel Pettit did not know his bust
ness. and said he could not afford To be
connected with IL regiment which had
been subjected to such indignities with
out redress. Colonel Petit is said TO
have requested that Lieutenant Colonel
Hayes be relieved"

inclined to credit the assertion that
German is backing Dewey. the more
that the Marylandcr is both a smooth
