."Imperialism: what do they moan
by Imperialism'." said he, In tho course
of his address. "What does It mean,
this departure from tho settled policy
of tho nation'.1 Must it bo that this
policy, thought out by tho founders of
our government, Is to bo laid aside us
useless now'.1 God forbid that ever
imperialism may find a foolhotd In
our country. For tho fathers know
what imperialism meant; they had
learned it from England, when thoy
fought for liberty.
"They fought to establish tho prop
oslllon, and wrote it iu blood, tat all
good government rests with tho will
of tho governed people. Tho strength
of our nation Is In the muuhood and
womanhood of its people. These havo
been developed out of liberty In hope
and ambition. I believe that Imper
ialism would bo shortlived iu this
country wero It ever established. Wc
would not be able to hold ou to it.
Tho whole lido of tho war Is
toward republicanism. Shall we go
back a step In teo progress of the
world'.
"I do not mean to arraign tho gov
ernment as If It wero responsible for
such a policy. 1 firmly bellevo that
there Is no greater American than
President McKlnlcy. Tho holding of
the Philippines Is not against the
principles of our nation. Tho holding
of the Islands Is an absolute necessity.,
''Would It not bo to leave the in
habitants in bloodshed to withdraw
tho troops to-morrow'.' Would we not
bo hold up to tho scorn of history if
wo should desert them now? . Wo arc
bound to keep them. Whether wise
or not it Is now a necessity. Tho
treaty locs not say wo arc to hold
them eternally, but- tho American
people must not let thorn go back to
Spain; but must hold thorn till this
nation can place them as they must be
placed, among tho free peoples of the
earth. Tho prcssuro upon the Presi
dent to compel him to formulate a
policy in regard to tho Philippines is
wrong. Ho cannot formulnto u policy
in regard to a people of whom wo aro
Iguorunt. Tho Islands must bo kept
like Cuba, till wise statesmanship can
decide what Is tho best policy toward
them,"

Waniiimi'min, Jan. .11. The so-called
"roll ot honor" of tho Trcnsury de
partment, Inaugurated some tlmo ago
by Assistant Secretary Vauderllp,
which practically retired on pensions
superannuated clerks, Is wiped out by
a section of the legislative appropria
tion bill which prohibits expenditures
for tho compensation of any persons
permanently Incapacitated by age or
otherwise, and declares that, "tho es
tablishment of a civil pension roll or
au iiouoraiito sorvtco roil or an exemp
tion of any of tho oil leers, clerks and
persons iu tho public scrvlco from tho
existing laws respecting employment
In such service Is hereby prohibited."
There aro said to b twenty-two
clerks In tho Treasury department
who are on this roll of superannuated
employes and tho committee, having
procured a list of tho names of such
and Urn divisions whero employed,
havo omitted from tho bill a clerk or
clerkship in all such division1. It
has also prohibited tho tiso of lime
recording clocks In tho department, a
feature which has boon Introduced by
Assistant Secretary Vauderllp in tho
treasury in order to prevent ubsotico
and loss of tlmo ou tho part of tho
clerks.
Tho uctlon of the committee In prac
tically providing for the dismissal of
a number ot superannuated employes
Is duo ch Icily to repeated protects on
tho part of .senator and roproscnta
lives against the retention In office ot
clerks no longer able to perform their
duties, but whoso long and faithful
service In the absence of a civil pension
bystom has operated to prevent their
.displacement by younger and more
capable men. In consequence, tho
work which, If physically competent,
they would be callcd-upon to perform
is thrown upon other clerks, many ot
whom draw less salaries than those
who practically do no work at ull. As
a result those employes upon whom
the added clerical labor falls have been
protesting and insisting that tho gov
ernment Is entitled to full service for
tho salary which It pays.
In all tho departments there arc
aged employes retained on tho rolls
who endeavor to tho bust of tholr
ability to continue In tho pbrformanca
of duties for which thoy aro unfitted
by reason of advanced ago and physical
Infirmity. Were n civil pension law
lit force sovcral hundred would bo
placed upon a retired list, but iu tho
absence of such a law they nro retained
ou tho rolls out of pure charity. As
sistant S.ccrotary Vauderllp, however,
soiuotlmo ago relieved a number ot
clerks In tho treasury department
from the performance of routlno cler
ical duty, maklug what was prootlcally
a roll of superannuated employes, it
was against this roll that tho section
in the ponding legislative, executlvo
und Judiciary appropriation bill was
aimed.
Representative Tawncy of Minnesota
has a bill pending providing for super
annuated aud disabled clerks, to be
drawn from n fund inadu up ot en
forced contributions from tho clerks
of tho departments. This measure is
drafted on tho lines of laws In opera

is provided for tho employes of cor
