110HTON , MnnCi 30 A letter bearing the
data or I'obruary 4 nml feigned by lUO or
Jnoro of the most prominent men In anil
around this city , headed by ex-flovcrnor
Ororgo S. Boiitwell , rominc-ndlng the nttl-
tmlo In rongrcsi of Senator Honr nnd 1 1-
vltlng him to address them at a future time ,
was nmilu iiubtlc toilny.
Accompanying It Is the letter of acknowl
edgment from Senator Hoar , In which ho
1 do not think there Is nny reason per
sonal to mo for holding Biich a public meetIng -
Ing Lndnubtodly thcru should be nnd there
will bo many public incetltmB the country
ovpr to protest against trampling under foot
the rights of n brave people struggling for
their liberties , the violations of the princi
ples of our own constitution and of the
Durlnrntlon of Independence and the con
tinuance by the American people In the
costly n ml. . ruinous path which baa brought
othir republics to ruin and to shame which
will dihhoner labor , plnco great bunions on
agriculture and fasten on the republic the
shame of what President McKInlev has so
lately nnd BO truthfully declared to bo
criminal aggression Hut I think It will be
wiser to luuo meetings of that character
n little later rather than lust now.

We ilo not know whether the present war
for the subjugation of the pcoplo of the
Philippines Is to contlnuo Indcllnltcly or
whether there is to bo a Bpccdyi.HUbmlsslon
to the overwhelming power of Iho United
Stall" . If the war shall bo shortly ended
we shall then bo nblu to discuss the oues-
tlon of our national duty frco from the dis
turbing influences which exist always when
the country Is at war. If , on the other
hand , the war shall long nnd Indefinitely
continue , the pcoplo will begin to feel the
burden of inercam.il debt nnd Increased tax-
ntlon , the loss of life and health of our youth
and the derangement of trade nnd peaceful
Industry.
After iiuotlnB nome personal experiences
growing out of his position , Senator Hoar
Bays.
The blood of the slaughtered I'lllplnos. the
blood and the wasted health of our own sol
diers are upon the heads of those who have-
undertaken to buy a people in the market
like sheep or to treat them as lawful prizes
nn dbooty of war , to Impose a government on
them without their consent and to trample
under foot not only the people of the Philip
pine Islinds , but the principles upon which
Iho American republic Itself icsts.
CollHCIll < ) f lllC ( ilM CrillMl.
Continuing , Senator Honr refers to the
liledgei of the country toward Cuba and the
president's declaration that an ) olher con
duct on our part would have been "criminal
uggresslon" and continues
The law of righteousness and lustlco on
which the gieat and fee : American pcoplo
bhould act and In the end. I am sure , will
net depends not up parallels of latitude
and meridians of longitude or points of com
pass It Is the same yesterday , today and
forever. It Is true now as when our fathers
declared 'It ' true 'in , 1776 It is as binding1
upon William iMcKlnler today as it was
upon Oeoige Washington or Abraham Lin
coln. The only powers of government the
American people cnn recognize arc Just
powers nnd those powers rest upon the con
sent of the governed.
No man , dining this whole discussion , lias
successfully challenged and no man will suc
cessfully challenge i
First The affirmation that undoi the con
stitution ot the United States the acquisi
tion of territory , ns of other property. Is not
a constitutional end but only n means to n
constitutional end and that , whllo the mak
ing of now states nnd providing a national
ilcfcnso are tonstltutlonal ends , so that we
may acquire and hold territory for tho&o
purposes , the governing of subject peoples Is
not a constitutional end and that there Is.
therefore , no constitutional wairant for ac
quiring ami holding territory for the purpose.
Second That to leave our own country to
Btand on foreign soil Is in violation of the
warnings of our fathers and of the farewell
addresb of Washington.
Tli lid That there was never n Ironical
country governed with any tolerable suc
cess without n system of contract labor.
It Will No\cr l'ii .
Tourth The trade advantages of the
Philippine Islands It there be any must bo
opened allko to oil the world and our share
of them will never begin to pay the cost of
Hiibjug-itlng them by war or holding them In
subjection in pence.
rifth That the military occupation of
these tropical regions must bo kept at an
Immense cost both to the souls nnd the
bodies of our eoldlers.
Sixth That the declaration na to Cuba by
the president and by congress applies with
stronger force to the case of the Philip
pine Islands
Seventh That Agulnnldo and hla followers.
before we began to inako war upon them , .
had conquered their o\vn territory and In
dependence from Spain with the exception of
n single city and were getting ready to es-
tulillsh a frco constitution
Eighth That whllo they arc fighting for
fiecdom nnd independence and the doctrines
of our fathers , we are lighting for the prin
ciples that one people may control and gov -
cm nnothei in spite of Its resistance and
ngalnst Its will ,
Ninth That the language and argument of
thosu who object to this war are without
change , the language nnd argument of
Chatba , Fox. Herry and of Canulen of the
English nnd American Whigs nnd the lan-
guigo nnd aigument of these who support
It are tlio language nnd argument of Oeoigo

WASHINGTON' , Mnrrh 30. The president
hns under consideration the naming of dele
gates to the czar's disarmament congress ,
w-hlch Is to be hpld nt The Hague , beginning
May IS next Slnre the congress Is lo meet
at Tlio HBCUC , It Is expected that the Neth
erlands government will Issue Invitations to
the various powers , offering tha olllclnl
courtesies of the capital Until then the
names of the delegates may not bo an
nounced
There has been little discussion In official
quart ON of Individual names The selection
of Sir Julian Pauncefoto as one of the dele
gates largely because of his servlco In ne
gotiating tbo Olney-Pnuncefoto treaty has
led to the mention of Mr. Olnoy's name ns a
possible American delegate Another men
tioned Is that of John Hi = sett Moore , assist
' ant secretary of state under Judge Day , nnd
i ono of the moving flguies In the recent peice
I negotiations with Spiln Mr. Moore's name
j , cornea tip through his literary contributions
to the subject of disarmament Ho 1ms re-
centlv completed n treatise on arbitration ,
compilslng several \clumra , published by
the government , which Is said to bo the most
exhaustive treatment of the subject over at
tempted 1 ha understanding also Is that It
would bo agreeable to the friends of Arch
bishop Ireland If that eminent Catholic prelate
late were appointed At first It was thought
I that Ambassador Chnilcmngne Tower might
I be designated to go from St. Petersburg to
! attend the congress , but this may bo given
j up as appearing rather a perfunctory recog
nition of the czar's invitation.
The Ilrltlsh delegates have not been an
nounced , but Sir Julian Pauncefoto will be
ono of them , nnd the other may bo of even
higher rank than ambassador. In case the
continental powers select their foremost men
Great nrltaln , It is understood , will likewise
select from these who have been ministers
of foreign affairs and heads of cabinets. In
that event It Is surmised In unofficial but
trustworthy quarters that Sir Julian's asso-
| elate at the congress might bo Lord Rose-
bery , who headed the liberal ministry when
Gladstone put aside the leadership.

to Improve upon the Joke , penciled these

"Dear Artemus If you will place yourself
under my guidance I'll tnko yon to 'see a

Artemus accepted the Invitation , and while
the great audience Impatiently but with
much amusement awaited the reappearance
of the humorist , the latter was making the
acquaintance ot Aman. a well known restaurant -

cratlc conference nnd banquet under the
auspices ot the democratic state central
committee wag held In this city this even
ing
Prominent speakers , Including Governor
William J Stone of Missouri , William J.
Hrynn ot Nebraska , Champ Clark of Mis
souri , Allen O Micrs ot Ohio and Sidney
Clark of Oklahoma , vvero present.
Covers were laid for more than 1,000
guests. The new library hall , vvheio the
banquet was held , presented n brilliant
scene with thousands of Incandescent lights
and decorations of natural roses , lings nnd
bright colored bunting.
The meeting wna In the nature of a con
ference of the democratic leaders , the pol
icy of the party In the campaign of 1900
being touched upon , Mr. Dry an himself
was given thc most prominent place , his
subject being ' 'Democracy. "
Mr IJryan stood out squarely for the Cht-
cigo platform and said th it there had been
no retreat frqm the positions taken In 1890
"Wo nre not onlj holding our own , " ho
declared , "but wo are gaining back those
democrats who left us without fully under
standing the nature of the struggle.
"Sometimes wo hear picas for harmony
from these who opposed the party In ISMO , "
continued Mr. llryan , "but harmony , In
stead of being a thing hoped for Is nt last
u thing realized , not a pretended harmony
between these entertaining antagonistic prin
ciples , 'but ' nn actual harmony between
these who arc united In a common purpose
against a common enemy. The dcmocintlc
party was never jnoio harmonious and Us
harmony can only be disturbed bj admitting
within the fold these who are at variance
with Us principles and ampliations.
AillK'ip to till * Platform of Mill.
"Tho democratic platform of 1900 will bo
written by these who stood upon the plat
form of 1S9G , not by those who tried to
overthrow the democratic party in that
campaign.
"Tho falluio which attended those vvlul
organized the gold parts and wrote the In
dianapolis platform ought to icstrnln them
from proffering their services as platform
makers for some years to come. "
Mr. Bryan declared that events have been
vindicating the policies pioposed by the
democratic party in 1S9C He then pissed
on to the subject of trusts nnd character-
ied them na the products of republic-m
methods. Ho gave this wanting "If the
republican party goes Into the next cam-
pilgn upon a platform defending Iho trusts
it will antagonize sentiments which are rapIdly -
Idly growing against them , even In the- ranks
of that party. "
Mr. Bryan closed with a denunciation of
militarism nnd what he termed the tendency
of the present administration toward Im
perialism. Ho said : "The republican party
came Into existence in nn attempt to ap
ply the Declaration of Independence to the
black man ; it seems likely to go out of
existence for Its refusal to apply the same
! principles to a ( brown man only half
black. "

I that ho had Just returned to Washington ,

I was over so dangerous to the people's In-
I tcrcuts ns the capitalistic greed which is
culminating today , -when great aggregations
of capital are seeking to lower cost of pro
duction , particularly at the expense of labor
The mayor predicted that the time is com
ing when the advantages being taken for the
enrichment of the few will bo turned to the
benefit of the miny.
Hon. Thomas E. Barkworth , democratic
candidate for Justice of state supreme court
( the bench which le occupied wholly by re
publicans ) , lesponded to the toast , "Parti
sanship and the Judiciary ; Are They Always
Separable ? "
Mr. Barkworth said that real paitlsmshlp
wn an accompaniment of freedom and does
not exist In an autocracy , The contest of
Ideas Is fruitful of progress ; minorities are
not merely protests , hut active factors in
the control ot affairs. lEntlro separation of
the Judiciary from the piano of partisan
conflict Is neither possible nor desirable1
Paitlsanshlp In as commendable In a Judge
as in a citizen , but some manifestations of
its power are reprehensible , both In home
and forum A tolerant partisan Is not In
danger of denying to others what ho claims
for himself But Intolerance Is always nnd
every where a menaceto liberty , The cor
nerstone of democracy Is none too secure
The old tlinu prejudice against manhood
suffrage is now wholly deotroyed.
There Is no trend of popular thought
away from telf-goveminent. Only those in
flated with privileges Improvide-ntly granted
nro restive under Its restrictions By all dp-
vices known to unscrupulous schemers they
lull Into fancied security these whom they
would enslave. Courts nro not Jenf to their
pleadings and tluso Insidious ndvances are
encouraged by their mandates. * * The
best approximation to an unpartlsan cnuit
Is a bipartisan one If some practicable plan
could bo devised to procure its permanent
adoption In every court of last resort greatf r
respect would bo paid to their decisions The
outlook Is portentous , only the privileged to
face the future with concern If a tafu
haven la reached It will not ho tbroum'i '
