Sensational Reply to the Speech of a Friend Who Denounced the Pol- icy of the Adminis- tration. ey it CINCINNATI, March 5.—The compli- mentary dinner given to-night at the Queen City Club to Judge Willlam H. Taft, the recently appointed president of the Philippine Commission, by his friends and neighbo was unique In its elegance and in its goodwill. The hundred sub- stantial citizens who took this method of bidding farewell to their friend included the representative men of Cincinnati. Among the speakers was Judge Judson liarmon, who was Attorney General un- der the last Cleveland administration and whose association with Judge Taft at the Cincinnati bar has been contemporaneous. He created a sensation in his opening sentence, though it was understood the company had not been chosen with the view of political harmony. Judge Har- mon, in part, said: It 3 of the Government Wwith respect to the Phil- ippines I should not be here, For a hundred years we contented ourselves with words of sympathy for peoples struggling, as we once struggled, for treedom and independence. Here, for the first time, an opportunity came to help in such a struggle without breaking our settled policy. We joined ranks with the native patriots against the common enemy. Whether any one made or was authorized to make promises to them is of no consequence. Our history and principles are a perpetual promise; and no one will deny that when the Filipinos joined forces with us they believed, and we knew they believed, that success would mean the fulfillment of their hopes. * * When we came to terms of peace it was our duty to put an end to the claims of Spain. As to all the territory, except a few square miles, these were the barest of pretensions, but Span- ish greed and other greed might make a speculative asset of them to the injury of our | allies. This was the only possibie justifica- tion for the direction to our commissioners to purchase these claims, and we naturally expected some. declaration of trust. So did our allies. But it soon turned out that, of buying off the King of Spain, in- stead the Government bought him out and proposed to realize on the investment. { Spain Bunkoed Uncle Sam. | | | Our only real war followed—a war which a word would have averted If our Government had been willing to say it, and whose victories aroused no gladness in our people like those over Spain. The Government got absolutely nothing by the treaty with Spain except color of title to & small part of the territory, and | consequent color of right to make war on the inhabitants without action by Congress. What- ever iU now holds (save what It got by treaty with the Sultan of Sulu), it has acquired b; conquest from them, and not otherwise, and it is still engaged in perfecting and extending such conquest. We now hear the usual plea of the doers of doubtful things—the deed is done. 1t 18 too late to discuss it .. It is Dever too late to retrace a misstes, to right or undo a wrong. It the people shall de- cide that no nation is good enough to rule an- other nation Without the other nation’s consent; if they shall remember what it cost us to cast out the heresy that the great principles of lib- erty did not apply to black men and shall re- fuse to re-embrace it as to brown ones; if they shall conclude that this country canaot lonk exist part vassal and part free, as they found it could not live part siave and part free, then there will be no difficulty in doing what we ought to have done in the beginning—ieave the Filipinos to manage their own affairs, and serve notice to the world that they are under our protection Judge Harmon declared that the ques- tion would never be settled until it was settled right. In the meantime, he said, it was the duty of the United States to provide a Government for the islands. ‘While the President’s right to make reg- ulations in the nature ol laws was doubt- ful, Judge Harmon said, his right and duty to provide agencies for enforcing the laws were glear. He discussed most forci- bly and af length the great work before the new Filipino Commission, and in a most eloquent eulogy on Judge Taft de- clared that no man in the whole country could have been selected who was better qualified than Judge William H. Taft for the great mission that awaited him, Taft Not an Expansionist. The silence which marked the opening remarks by Judge Harmon was intense. At length when applause broke out it was followed by a remark in the room, “‘Just four of you.” But when Judge Harmon declared the duty of the Government to be the establishment of a protectorate over the islands the applause was con- tinued. He produced undisguised sur- prise when he hinted that one of the best qualifications of Judge Taft for this mis- sion was the fact that he was not an ex- pansionist. Judge Taft, who followed, spoke for an hour, devoting much time to his asso- clates of tl Cincinnati bar, the Cincin- nati University and municipal and State yollflc! and with feeling words of thanks | for the tributes of his friends. Coming to | the topic of the Philippines, he sal part: The commission 18/ not organized. Its mem- bers have not conferred together. I speak, therefore, for myself alone. Like Judge Har- mon, and unlike rman Ingalls, I am not now and never have been an expansionist. I have always hoped that the jurisdiction of our nation would not extend beyond territory be- tween the two oceans.

The question of irrigation is, of | course, an important one to the people | of our State, and there is considerable | agitation now in favor of nrotecting our | vast forests, by making Government res- ervations of them for the purpdse of con- serving the water supply.

Under it great for- tunes would be acquired by the rich, while the poor would be made poorer. The pension appropriation bill, whicn appropriates $145, , was passed, and lggn anner of Montana addressed the Senate In favor of seating Quay as Sen- ator from Pennsylvania. He 'argued' that the constitution contemplated that tle seats in the Senate always should be kept full ' Referring to the precedents of the Man- | tle, Allen and Beckwith cases, Carter de- clared that the silver question really hed decided those cases, but added’that not- withstanding the administration, opposed seating Mantle because of silver, tha. gen- tleman would have been seated if the pairs had been progerly arranged. on that vote, and Allen and Beckwith also would have been seated, as thelr cases were de- pendent upon the decision in the Mant case. “Thus,” he sald, “in 1893 a_technicality made the recorded verdict of the Senate the reverse of its real judgmem." As to theiCorbett case Carter said: My vote was recorded against Corbett, and it would be registered in the same way again on the same state.of facts. The Oregon Legis- lature was preve tzing until after the time limit of carrying into effect the will of the people had expired. and It was beileved by | many that Corbett was the inspiring genus | of that revolutionary conduct. A large num- | ber of Senators voted against Corbett because | his appointment was regarded as the culmina- tion of a conspiracy against the government e. ay was made the victim of a court in An indictment was returned m, and thus the machinery of the ket into operation against him to hold the membxll of the Legislature from pe: forming their duty,in the election of a Sen tor.
