Our Foreign Policy.

Faithful to his pledges in these internal
affairs, how has the government dischArg-
ed lis International duties9
Our platform of 1896 declared "the Ha-
waiian Islands should be controlled by the
United States and no foreign power should
be permitted 10 interfere with them
This purpose has been fully accomplished
by annexation, and delegates from those
beautiful islands have participated in the
declaration for which you speak today.
In the great conference Of nations at The
Hague We reaffirm before the world the
Monroe doctrine and onr adherence TO it
and our deteru ination not to participate
in the complications of Europe. We have
happily ended the European alliance in
Samoa, securing TO ourselves one Of the
most valuable harbors in the Pacific Ocean,
while the open door in China gives to US
fair and equal competition in the vast
trade of the Orient Some things have
happened which we're not promised nor
even fOreseen and our purposes in relation
to them must not be left in doubt. A just
war has been Waged for humanity and
with it have come new problems and re-
sponsibilities. Spain has been elected
from the western hemisphere and our dag
floats over her former territory. Cuba has
been liberated and our guarantees to her
people will be sacredly executed. A bene-
icent government has been provided for
Porto Rico, The Philippines are ours and
American authorities must be supreme
throughout the archipelago. There will
be amnesty broad and liberia but no abate-
ment of our rights, no abandonment OF
our duty.

l am glad to be assured by you that what
we have done in the far East has the ap-

The sudden and terrible crisis in China
calls for the gravest consideration, and you
will not expect from me now any further

cannot conclude without congratula-
ting my country men upon the strong ma
tional sentiment which finds expression in
every part of our common country and the
increased respect with which the American
name is greeted throughout the world. We
have been moving in untried paths, but
our steps have been guided by honor and
duty. There will be no turning aside, no
wavering, no retreat. No blow has been
struck except for liberty and humanity,
and none will be. We will perform with
out fear every national and international
obligation. The Republican party was
dedicated to freedom "A years ago. 1t
has been the party of liberty and eman-
cipation from that hour; not of profession,
but of performance. 1t broke the shackles
of 1900, coo slaves and made them free,
and to the party of Lincoln has come an-
other supreme opportunity which it has
bravely met in the liberation of 10000, 900
Of the human family from the yoke of i'm
peIialism. In It's solution Of great prob
lens, in its performance Of high duties, il
has had the support of members Of all par
Ties in the past, and confidently invokes
their cooperation in the future.
Permit me 10 express, Mr. Chairman, my
most sincere appreciation of the compli-
mentary terms in which you convey the Of
fetal notice of my nomination and my
thanks to the members of the committee
and TO the great constituency which they
represent for this additional evidence of
their favor and support

Our statuary.

The barbarians who used some Of the
greatest works OF classic art to build
walls with are held in deserved odium
by the posterity they have robbed OF
great heritage, but on seeing some of the
horrors they have spared to crowd the
Louvre and the Vatican and other gal
leries one can only grant them the benefit
of the doubt and say that incidentally
they may have saved us many a shock.
And one must remark what excellent
walls could be made out OF some Of the
marble now misplaced in New York stat
uary and how prettily some OF the bronze
would simmer In a melting pot.-Rupert

No scuttIs Policy in PhiIIppInts.

There must be no scuttle policy. We
will fulfil in the Philippines the obliga-
tions imposed by the triumphs of our arms
and by the treaty of peace; by Information
al law, by the nations sense of honor, and,
more than all, by the rights, interests and
conditions of the Philippine people them
selves. No outside interference blocks the
way to peace and a stable government.
The obstructionists are here, not else
where. They may postpone, but they can
not defeat the realization Of the high pur-
pose of this nation to restore order to the
islands and TO establish just and gener-
Gus government, in which the inhabitants
shall have the largest participation for
which they are capable. The organized
| forces which have been misled into rebel
lion have been dispersed by our faithful
soldiers and sailors, and the people of the
islands, delivered from anarchy, pillage
and oppression, recognize American SOW
ereignty as the symbol and pledge of peace,
justice, Law, religious freedom, education,
the security of life and property and the
welfare and prosperity Of their several com
munties.
