Oms CasC l A CHAHP10S OF U3EBTY Seaatee Bars irsi laOyf 4ti t ta raliry af tke rst4sat fa ft raitfaaiarM - Tuesday Mr. Hoar addressed the sen ate cn the Philippine question. In tense Interest was manifest in the ad dress by senatffrs- Mr. Hoar's posi tion . c the subject as well under stood, tut as it was known, too, that the speech .was to be one of the great t 3fr. Hoar, ever delivered, from his point of view, the interest in the ut terance ws tctessified. Mr. Hoar took fer his text the reao !sti of Mr. Beveriige of Indiana, de rlansgr that the Philippine Islands are territory belonging to the United States, and that the United States mutt jrovem the archipelago. "The, A raericaa people." so far as I know, were ail agreed that their ric torr trc-cttt with it the responsibility ft protecting the liberated peoples from the erpidlty of any, other power until of diplomacy, of admin 1st ration, must hereafter be those which belong to empires, and not those which belong to republics; but i believe persistence in this attempt will result in the defeat snd overthrow of the republican party." Touching upon the constitutionality of the question at issue. Mr. Hoar said: 1 hold that this acquisition of terri tory. - holding and governing, can be only a means for a constitutional end. And I maintain that you can no more hold and govern territory than you can hold and manage cannon or fleets for any other than a constitutional end." Adverting to the authority to be found in the Declaration of Independ ence for expansion. Mr. Hoar declared: There is expansion enough in it. but It is the expansion of freedom and not of despotism; of life, not of death. Never was such growth in all human history as that from the seed Thomas JeSferson planted. It has covered the continent. It Is on both the seas. It has saved South America. If is revo lutionizing Europe. It is the expan sion of freedom. It differs frcm your tinsel, pewter expansion &3 the growth of a healthy youth into a strong man differs from the expansion of an ana conda when he swallows his victim. Ours is the expansion of Thomas Jeffer son. Yours is the expansion of Aaron Burr. It is destined to as short a life and v a like fate. "In every accession of territory to this country ever made we recognize fully the doctrine of consent of the governed and the doctrine that terri tory si acquired must be h el i to be made into states. "You have tried governing men of other race than your own at home for a hundred years. You have dealt with the Indian,' you have dealt with the negro cloe at hand, knowing all about theux. And now- you go forth to lay your yk on 10.000.000 of them. I suppose you feel encouraged by your success. There are 10,000,00) more, 7.000 miles away, of whom you know nothing. You go forth Jauntily and boastlngly as Louis Napoleon - went to meet hi doom at Sedan." Mr- Hoar discussed at great length; th Filipino rebellion and the causes which In his opinion ied up to it. He made an earnest and vigorous defense ; of the Filipinos, especially of Aguin aldo. "sho. he declared, was" "brave, honest, and patriotic" In the course of nis eulogy of Aguinaldo he said: "He deserves to be remembered with that small band who' have given life and everything dearer than life to their country In a losing cause. He shall t lire with Kossuth, with Oom Paul, with Joubert, with Emmet t, with Egmont and Horn, with all the great martyrs of history whose blood has been the sed of the church of liberty." Mr. Hoar maintained his well known position that the Fill pin as had acchlcved their Independence, that the United States had made them its allies ana was bound to recognize their in dependence and that they Lad proved themselves fit for such Independence and capable of self-government. As one bit of proof of their state-craft he declared: The state papers -f Aguin aldo. the discussion of the law of na tions by his attorney general, the mas terly appeal of Mablni, are products of the Asiatic mind. They are not un worthy of the Asiatic mind, the vehicle through which came to us the scrip tures of the old and new testament, the poetry of David, the eloquence of Isaiah, the wisdom of Soiomon. the pro found philosophy of PauL" The senator presented an elaborate defense of the Filipinos against the charge that they were responsible for the present war. fully justifying their action inreslstlng the American forces. As to what he would do with the Philippines, Mr. Hoar said: "I would declare now that we will not take these Islands to govern them against their will. 1 would reject a cession of soverignty which implies that sovereignty may be bought and sold and delivered without the con sent cf the people. "I would require all foreign govern ments to keep out of these islands. "I would offer to the people of the Philippines our help; in maintaining order until they have a reasonable op portunity to establish a government of their own. ; " r - ' ' I would aid them by advice, If they desire it, to set up a free and inde- With the object and for the pur pose of putting the Independent into every populist home in Ne braska and adjoining states, and into the hands of thousands of con scientious but doubtful voters we have made arrangements to give a GUARANTEED WATCH to every man, woman, or child who will as sist in increasing the circulation. The watch is a nickel plated, stem wind and stem set, complete in, every particular, guaranteed for one year. It is a watch that re tails at all jewelry stores at from six to seven dollars. We can make the liberal offer we do only because (in connection with another pub lisher) wre have bought them in lots of iooo watches at a time. We could get a cheaper watch than the one we offer, but we prefer to give A GOOD OXE OR NONE. To make a long story short, it is a splendid watch, neat in appearance, a perfect time keeper, satisfactory in every particular, guaranteed one year. BRYAN HOME GUARDS BALL Friends of the Auditorium FiUed with i club The $rst annual ball of the Bryan Home Guards was given Monday night at the auditorium. The stormy night interfered considerably with the attend ance, and there was a noticeable number of men unaccompanied by ladies. How ever there were plenty of dancers for a comfortable enjoyment tf the big floor. The ball properly opened . with almost a hundred couples . in the grand march and from that time on as - many dancers were in motion as the space would allow. The ball was well managed througnout and was successful in affording pleasure to the participants. Some effective additions were made to the decorations already in the building. A wide band of ' rod, white, and blue bunting extended .around the hall be neath the balcony and served as a back ground for numerous portraits. A large portrait of Abraham Lincoln, was given the place of honor at one end, and pic tures of Bryan were plentifully distribu ted. The only -other decorations were large flags and palms on the stage. Dur ing the Playing of - the : Star Spangled Banner, and at intervals later a beauti ful electric flag formed a brilliant spec tacle behind the " orchestra. .The lights revolved in undulating,. lines and gave the effect of a waving flag. The Hagenow band played a fine pro gram of popular numbers lasting about an hour, for the promenade concert. The grand march was led by General P. H. Barry and Mrs. L. N. Wente and Mr. James Manahan and Mrs. T. S. Allen, preceded by . Lieut. Col. Frank Eager and Lieut. Ike E; O. Pace, in full uniform. The figures were different from those seen at previous balls. The couples first formed a large hollow square framing the floor space and then broke into various figures, keeping the angles with military exactness; . The scene was exceedingly attractive and interesting, although no elaborate toilettes were worn. ;A program of twenty dances was given by the Hagenow orchestra with a rythmic swing that , drew nearly every one irresistibly to the floor. All even ing ices were served to the dancers. Our Met ZSo. 1. Xo. 2. sO. N. TERMS. For sale, each - $2.00 The watch des cribed and the Inde pendent i j-ear to a new subscriber 2.50 3.

It will contain a vast amount of informa tion that cannot be obtained in any other paper. It is the most fear less champion of the rights of the people to be found in the west. It is first in the fight for "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Why not take .advantage of this liberal offer to secure a valu able premium for yourself or your boy and help to increase the circu lation and influence of such an ex cellent paper as the Independent? Ce Uebraska Independent, Lincoln, Jlibr. They're shouting all over for Bryan ; They know that his star will prerail ; But, while they agree on the head, you can see They're badly mixed up on the taiL Bemembering bewail and Watson. On one point they're perfectly clear. They want no more tangles and jangles and wrangles About who shall bring up the rear. Some advocate Bid path, or Caldwell ; Some Sulser or Norton suggest: While some are for Harrison, some are for Pattison. Some think that Williams is beet ; Some nominate Daniel, or Blackburn And other like names of renown : But of all I insist that the choice of the list Is the matchless and eloquent Towne. They'd plead till the masses" should listen; They'd plead till the nation should turn From its ldcls of gold and once again to behold 1 ne altars 01 liberty burn. .

Finding Candidates The time is fast, approaching when the conventions in the various coun ties must select candidates for the var ious positions to be filled. It is im portant that only good men he put on for any ot the places. The tickets should be made up of clean and hon est meD of those who will get the full fusion vote and draw some from the republicans on account of personal popularity. Men who can and will make an energetic campaign should be chosn. : ' The political situation In Lancaster county this fall will "be quite different than it ever has been before." The re publican party has held its conven tion and nominated a ticket which it Is believed by many can be defeated out and out if the fusion forces unite on good men. There is a lot of good material from which official timber can be drawn. One of the young men who has been mentioned for county at torney is O. W. Meier, who is now li brarian of the law college at the state university. ?drji !PIIIIIIII!l!i;illlllllli!llil!IIII!llirdlII!IIllini!W HL Oi-iLL 11 yuti 11 ovi y I CORNER TENTH & P STREETS, LINCOLN, NEBR. 1 SEND IN MAIL 'ORDER FrxXEB SAIIE DAY AS BECEIVED 5?
