Of a Variety of Interesting
 American Questions
Letter by an EngIishmantO a Friend in Phoenix Subjects of Tariff and Territorial Expansion.

1T chiefly because it deals from foreign point of .ieyv with affairs on this side of the water. MT. Hayman it may be sad is a son of Che late CaEon Hay nun. a distinguished churchman and at one time head master of Rugby MT Hav1nan himself is a finished scholar and a writer of some note. He says;
 By the time this reaches you the vote will be recorded, and either Teddy will preside for another four-year term, or Judge Parker will have be- come president. But the latter event does not loom very large on the likely horizon. Meanwhile the position or parties over wonder has some points of | resemblance, relatively to that of the . present government and opposition, ! home in England.
 Since the split ir the liberal ranks ! displaced Gladstone, uniOnists have run !. this county, and-t8d or good O. pie i bald-they'Ve got record to show At 1 any rate we know the worst of them ! The other side are an unknown quan- 1 tity. Their criticism of unionist mea-
 su-es does not suggest any greed con struction policy, and if they come in at the next general election it will be on the principle of give the other side chance.
 1 It's the same with Roosevelt and the | judge. The former has gone solid for | his objects and left definite track
 You can see where Teddy's been- His able-bodied foot print Is there Of Judge Parker, on the other hand, you can only predicate good inten- tens: and. unless you are taking any oortract to pave "the place with dOu- bIe r '-as Finer0's latest comedy puts
 it-you will prefer the hall mark of ! Teddy's number nine slCes-
 With you again, republicans stand for a forward colonial policy, democrats would prefer to play in their own back
 yard. h England uI-onlsts spell eX-
 paasson and the liberals have no use
 for colonies. IL is true that Mir MOr- ley speaking at Toronto has recently
 discovered that they are, at heart "a , colonial party, 5rt up to now they have
 managed to conceal it quite effectively
 The resemblance ends here
 For the Philippines aside, your
 Tweodledum and Tweedledee look very much aIike-or sound SO. in the echoes
 of the composition which have reach ed my ears. Both parties want prOtec- tion-but the democrats not quite 90 much so. Both par5es denOunce trusts
 but the democrats rather more SO. To my mind there is no doubt that the forward policy is the true one for all of us. from nations down to infants in
 arms. We've got to grow and it's no . use grUmbling because our clothes , don't fit Us as they did.

 D There are still apples beyond merely borrowed the apple for its own Q pie and gulD it. We discharge our duty to the apple. And, if. in the course of I l duty We happen to absorb it. are We a greedy filbdsters? We'll, not altogether @ Our motives are mixed. We have
 merely borrowed the apple for its own
 good, to show it how to become a
 juicier fruit; and we, make the best : reparation for our primitive instincts ) which is. at least good manners!
 Your position in the Philippines is
 not unlike ours in Egypt. We neither ,Fl of Us intruded for the exclusive beneh
 of the country occupied. Being there
 We have both felt it OUT duty to do oul
 lest for less advanced fellow crea-
 lures.
