TiTE EVENING TIMES, WASHINGTON TUESDAY. APHIL 17, 1900.
can bo clearly and sharply stated as a ques
tion of constitutional power, a question of
international law, a question of justice and
righteousness, or a question of public ex
pediency. This can be stated clearly and
sharply in the abstract, and it can be put
clearly and sharply by an illustration
prowing out of existing facts.
"The constitutional question is: Haa
Congress the power, under our Constitu
tion, to hold in subjection unwilling vas
sal States?
"The question of international law is:
Can any nation rightfully convey to an
other eovereignty over an unwilling peo- .
pie who have thrown off its dominion, as
sorted their independence, established a
government of their own, over whom it j
i,oc nt thP time no practical control, from
whose territory it has been disseized, and
which it is beyond Its power to deliver.'
The Question is justice and righteous
ness is: Have we the right to crush and
hold under our feet an unwilling and sub
ject people whom we had treated as allies,
whose independence we are bound in good
faith to respect, who had established their
own free government, and who had trusted
us?
"The question of public expediency is:
Is it for our advantage to promote our
trade at the cannon's mouth and at the
point of the bayonet?
"All these questions can be put in a way
of practical Illustration by enquiring
whether we ought to do what we have
done, are doing, and mean to do. in the
case of Cuba; or what wo have done, are
doing, and some of you mean to do, in
the case of the Philippine Islands.
"I hold that this acquisition, holding, and
governing can be only a means for a con
stitutional end the creation of new States
or some other of the constitutional pur
, . .,i-i, l hv .uh-f.riw! And 1 I
maintain that you can no more hold and
govern territory than jou can hold and I
manage cannon or fleets for any other than !

governing them against their will for any
facied advantage to them, is not only not
an end provided for by the Constitution,
but is an end prohibited therein."
Mr. Hoar at this neiat entered into a
discussion of the status of the Philippines
under the Constitution and quoted a num
ber of decisions of the United States Su
preme Court and legal opinions in tupport
f his contention that Congress has not the
power to govern dependent nations or ter
ritories not expected to become States.
Continuing he said:
l turpiit ton mill ltoliln-rj.
"When hostilities broke out. February 3.
JSUB. we had no occupancy of and no title
of any kind to any portion of the Philip
pine territory, except the town and bay of
Manila. Everything else was in the peace
ful possession of the inhabitants. In such
a conditions or things. Mr. President. In
ternational law speaks to us with its awful
mandate. It pronounces your proposed
action sheer usurpation and robbery. You
have no better title, according to the law
of nations, to reduce this people to subjec
tion than you have to subjugate Mexico or
Haiti or Belgium or Switzerland.
"This is the settled doctrine, as de
clared by our own great masters of juris
prudence. "You have no right according to the law
of nations, to obtain by purchase or acqui
bUtou sovereignty over a ieople which is
sot actually exercised by the country which
undertakes to convey it or yield it.
"I khali show beyond all question or
cavM, frowi the evidence of our own oom
jHHdere. that this was a people. They
were a people who had taken arms to es
laWisk a republic. They had achieved lib
erty. They had taken arms to establish
a rejwMic. They had established a repub
licthe flrst republic ot th Orient.
"New, international law has something
le say about this matter. AVill the Ameri
can people, for the first time in their his
tory, disregard its august mandates?
"Ve gentleittett who desire to hold on
1 the I'MHppiH" Islands are trying to
l4t the United Stales squarely upon this
doctrine. Yo must aflirm that a jieojde
rietag for their own liberties against a
ilyrant. and having got actual possession
of their own territory, and having disMs
aeed th oppressor, have no rightful title
thereto.
"X only are we violating. or own Con
sUtMlkm. and the great precepts of the
Dedaraitett of Independence, which, as
the Sutweme Court of the United States
aafc deoiafed. is to cor'rol and inter
net, being. a3 the court says, but the
letter of which the Declaration of Tnde
poMdece is the spirit, but we are equally
vfetaUttg the accepted precepts of the law
f nations as expounded by our own great
iwthorities."
Mr. Hoar quoted from various authori
ties on inter-national law to show that the
action of this Government In retaining the
Pallippiaes would be contrary to its teach
ig; after which, referring to the Declara
tion of Independence, he said:
"The Declaration of Independence is
t so much a declaration of rights as a
aVdaration of duties It prescribes a rule
of conduct for men in the same state to
one another aad for the nations of the
wii th tc one another. Lik the golden rule. '
It Hks the law of individual right the

it. is inaugurating a revolution not only
in the law of nations, not oaly in the fun-
ttemental law by which the people of the
Uited States have governed themselves
until now. not only in the interpretation
t the Constitution, but in the moral law
itself? As I hear the utterances of some
worthy gentlemen taking the name of God
tpon their lips, it seems to me as if they
thought the balance of the universe itself
had changed within this year, and that
Gnd had gone over to the side of Satan.

"Clearly and beyond all cavil we formed
an alliance with them. We expressly ask

sought their help iu caring for the sick

and again and again that they were light

as well known to our generals, to the War
Department, and to the President, as the
fact that they were In arms. We never
undeceived them until the time when hos
tilities were declared in 1S99. The Presi
dent declared again and again that we had
no title and claimed no right to anything
beyond the town of Manila. Hostilities
were begun by us at a place where we had
no right to be. and were continued by us
in spite of Aguinaldo's disavowal and re

should prescribe. If we crush that repub

When Judge Scott convened the lower
branch of the Police Court this morning he
was greeted by an unusual number of
pnsoneis, the majority of them being col
ored. "Too much emancipation celebra
tion." was the laconic suggestion of Bailiff
Kendig as he Sized up the batch of offen
ders. The usual number of old offenders
helped to crowd the "dock. Among the
latter was John Maloney -who entered a
plea of guilty to a charge, of vagrancy and
informed the court that he had done noth
ing more than curse and swear while
drunk and disorderly. Maloney was sent
down for fifteen days.
Kansas Stewart, colored, denied that she
had been guilty of disorderly conduct as
charged, but was ordered to pay a fine of
$.". or spend fifteen days in the work houce.
Gene Butler. Lydia Butler, and Ida
Gray, all colored, were arraigned for al-
leged disorderly conduct. The Gray wo
man wa3 discharged and Gene and Lydia
Butler sentenced to sere fifteen days each
in the work house in default of fines of ?3.
Edward Scott entered a plea of guilty to
a charge of being drunk and disorderly.
He was fined ?5.
Liza Fletcher, colored, graciously accept
ed, the alternative of fifteen days in the
work house in default of a fine of im
posed for alleged disorderly conduct.
Timothy Hurley was fined $5 because it
was alleged he was a vagrant. He denied
the charge, but when sentenced asked the
court to give him until Saturday to pay the
fine. Judge Scott replied that he did not
keep books and sent Hurley to jail for
flrteen days.
Lottie Curtis, colored, was charged with
disorderly conduct. She entere 1 a plea of
not guilty and mistaken identity. She was
ordered to pay a fine of ojr go to jail
for fifteen days.
Arthur Williams, colored, and Benjamin
W-ight, a Cuban, were charg"d with a
grancy. Wright stated that while he v.ms
out of work he was endeavoring to find it.
He stated that he left Cub:, because he I
could not get more than CO cents pr day.
He was sent down for fifteen das. Wil
liams established the fact that he had em
ployment in Alexandria and was released
on his personal bo"nds.
Isaiah Redmond and his wife. Annie,
were charged with being drunk and dis
orderly and cursing and swearing in the
street. It developed fronii the testimony
that she had been assaulted by her hus
band and that she pursued him calling
murder when he ran away. Her cries, she
said, attracted the police and a milkman
who questioned her as to the cause of her
shouting. She said her arrest followed
without cause. Redmond in his behalf de
nied that he had assaulted his wife. He
was ordered to pay a fine of $10 or serve
thirty days, while his wife was given the
usual sentence, in default of payment of a
fine of t-".

THE ANTI-2SORRIS DELEGATES.
HvprexM Their oiitlilenee of Hems;
eiited lit Kaiioiit Cltj.
The delegates from the District of Co
lumbia to the National Democratic Con
vention who were elected at the antl-Nor-rls
convention last evening express great
confidence that they will be seated.
Charles W. Slater, one of the delegates,
and who acted as chairman of last night's
convention, stated this morning that the
delegates had already received assurances
of support from a large number of dele
gates who have previously been elected on
the Bryan instructed ticket in several
States.
"The delegates Instructed uncondition
ally to vote for Mr. Bryan will be a unit
in our favor." said Mr. Slater, "and with
such support there can be no doubt but
that the people of the District will be rep
resented at Kansas City by the delegates
I who go pledged for Mr. Bryan, first. last,
and all the time."
Mr. Slater said he desired to contradict
the published statement to the effect that
a lare number of delegates were repre
sented by proxies at last night's conven
tion. "As chairman of the convention." said
Mr. Slater. "I want to state that the num
ber of proxies was unusually small, only
five delegates out of sixty-three being so
represented."
H. J. Schulteis. an alternate, said this
morning that thcdclegates and their sup
porters are certain of being seated in the
National Convention.
"When the -frauds perpetrated at the
polls are made known," he said, "there
will be little hesitancy in recognizing the
proper delegates. We also feel that the
manner in which the primaries were con
ducted this j ear will urge upon Congress
the necessity of providing for the District
proper registration and legal voting re-f-trietions."
Cotter T. Bride and Edwin Newman, who
were elected delegates last night, both
said today that they were positive of being
seated in the National Convention. "We
can't see how the convention can do other
wise." they said.
