This is a national cam

CONSTITUTIONAL POINTS.
Touching upon the constitutionality of


the question at issue, Mr.. Hoar said:
''I hold that this acquisition OF territory
holding and governing, can be only a
means for a constitutional end. And 1
maintain that you can no more hold and
govern territory than you can hold ard
manage cannon or fleets for any other
than a constitutional end"
Following this, Mr.. Hoar traversed the
constitutional and international field Of
the Philippine controversy, covering much
of the same ground he and others have
covered heretofore in the pending discus
sion. .
Adverting to the authority to be found

There is expansion enough in It, but
1t is the expansion of freedom and not of
despotism; of life, not of death; never
was such growth in all human history as
planted. 1t has covered the continent
1t is on both the seas. 1t has saved South
America. 1t is revolutionizing Europa. 1t
is the expansion of freedom. 1t differs
from your tinsel, pinchbeck, pewter ex-
pansion as the growth of a healthy youth
into a strong man differs from the cX-

DEFENSE OF AGUINALDO.
Mr.. Hoar discussed al, great length the
Filipino rebellion and the causes which,
In his opinion, led UP TO it, He made an
earnest and vigorous defense of the Fill
plnos, especially of AguiEaldo, who, he
declared, was brave, honest and patri,

Aguinaldo, he said:
He deserves to be Remembered with

with Nathan Hale, with Warren, with ali
the great martyrs of history whose blood
has been the seed OF the church of lib

Mr. Hoar maintained his well known
position that the Filipinos had achieved
their independence, that the United States
had made them it's allies and was bound
to recognize their independence, and that
they had proved themselves fit for such
independence and capable of self govern.
