Xkanwaa Canal Bill.
WAMUNaTOif January JO—Tha seu
ata was in sssaiou foe Ova aad a half
boon today, hut Iba session was prac
tically barren of results.
Senator Nelson, of Mhiuesula, spoke
in opposition to Senator V«el'e anti
expansion resolution and Senator
White democrat, of UalltorDla, made a
personal explanallou of LU position
with reaped to lUa instructions given
the California aaoslors by the Irgtsla
turs of that stats as to Toting on the
pending peace treaty
Senator Nelson’s address was a con
stitutional argument in support of the
right of the Uuitcd States to acquire
and govern foreign territory. Ha
maintained that It waa oo lorger an
unsettled qutaltou; that tbta couutry
bad the power not only to acquire for
eign territory by discovery, eonquest or
treaty, but also to govern territory mi
aoqaired. That question, bn auld, bad
been rattled by dedsloo of the supreme
court and was scarcely longer opoo lo
debate. He referred to the territory
that bad been acquired in the past by
the United States government, aud de
clared that In no single case had the
people of the territory acquired been
nonsuited or Uieir consent secured.
la the course of this debate lie said
tbe contention was being made Unit
the people of the territory proposed to
be acquired ware uot Ot fur citlunsblp
in our republic. Admitting that that
contention was correct, it ares quite as
true that tbe people uf much territory
hitherto acquired by this country were
unfit for cllimeshlp at the time the
territory waa takao Into tlio union.
Had we applied the reaaouing that waa
now being advanced against acquisition
of territory to the people of Florida
end tbe Louisans territory when they
were admitted iuto the United States,
they scarcely could have passed master
ns It was well known that they were
nnf for HtltMllkln
Senator Melton then entered upon an
elaborate ooiutltutional argument,
eitiog numerous tiulborlllsa to suoport
of lit* position. He maintained that
tns arguments that taxation without
representation was tyranny, and that
govern manta derive tbeir just powers
from the consent of the governed, warn
true only in a limited extent A ma
jority of our people he said were with
out direct representation. Women,
minora, and Imbeciles were without
representation la nor government and
had to bear tbeir share of taxation.
lo response to a question by Senator
Maaoo. of Illinois, Senator Nelson said
that no man could aay truthfully that
tba right of Englishmen had been de
stroyed or even in any sense Impaired
by great Britlan's groit scheme of col
onisation. Further replying to Aena
tor Mason, ho declared that lhe United
States, our own magiu risen t govern
ment, was the product of the colonlau
tlon plana of Great Brill an, and be de
manded to know whether Senator Ma
son would desire to blot out that great
work of England.
Beoator Tillman, of South Carolina,
interrupted Senator Nelson and refer
ring to the contest between Sweden
and Norway and the practised svyer
snee of their relations, inquired why
the Norwegian* at homo wanted liberty,
while those of tba Uolted States do not
desire to fire Liberty lotbe PMIlpplnus.
This reference to Senator Nelson'*
Norwegian birth aroused him: "I am
a CiUssn of the United Status, Mr.
President.” lie replied. *'I am not rep
resenting hither tbe people or the gov
ernment of Norway, whoso rights and
liberties I am satisfied ara greatsr than
those of tba people of doutli Carolina.'»
(laughter. 1
In hi* discussion of the situat ion of
tbe Phlllpploee when Admiral Dsway
arrived at Manila on the memorable
First o* May, Senator Nelson pointed
out that tbo Islanders were In s state
«f ptwAionl slavery under tlw domin
ion of Spsia. Agiifnsldo Imd atmn
dousd them lie mid, oo tbe payment to
blm by Spain of a peltry "thirty plaoaa
of allvev,” wblob la this oaae era* to be
•800.000, bait of wbleh amount the lu
surgest 'seder bed already reeelved.
He wee to leave the people nod leave
the noun try to the teoder mercies of
gpaoisb cruelties
senator Nelson malotalued that II
would be tbe some of orueity for the
Uaitui StaUa government to despoil
the rttlllpplnoe In this lime of ibetr
peed. “Wd an then," lie said, "to
give them a Just, free nod good gov
ernment, aod to keep them oat of tna
clutobee of the gnat powers of the
earth. It la our duty thus to protect
them and It would be the highest ere*
elty for us to leave them at the mercy
ef say power who might ehooee to at
tank them.”
.Senator Tillmao called attention to
Senator Nelson's use of the word
"al*V*”lp hta reference tlie PtalUpph-ea,
endiaaked tbe latter If bo appreciated
that thorn people were of the soma
olsse *a those slam whose role sad
domination Senator Nr Ison sod his
party associates had forced on tbe white
people of Urn south.
••You are undertaking," mid Seua
lor Tin mss, "to annex and make e

or mere of whom are barbarians of

lato tbe body politic of the United
State* of that vitiated blood, that de

At thta point the Imur ef S o'clock
arrived and tbe olrair laid before the
senate tbe Nicaragua eacsl bUl. See

After tbe Mt&peeotamiistor had »ro

epos fleuator Morgan eempiatead that
Senator Nelson nil not Jut tilled lu
permuting Interruptions when holding
the floor by oourteey In the time of the
cnnal bill. Evidently anxious to oblige
Senator Morgan, Senator Nelaon de
clined to yield. Thl* declination be
ing announced by tbs cbalr, 8suator
Tillman exclaimed: ‘‘Tboaeoator from
Minnesota to noting coder Uic constant,
nagging of tneaenatm from AUbntnt."
II* alto assorted that Senator Morgan
bad no right after lie bad given per
mission to another senator, to proceed
to "dictate bow the time should be
parcelled out,” For Ibis Senator Till

Three proceeding* wer* evidently1
not to Seualor Tillman's liking and tie
Immediately ramie Ihn point of no
quorum, sepeatlnrr the proceeding sev

Replying, Senator Nelson deprecated
any reference to the race queallon lu
tbe auutb. Let the dead post bury Ha
dead. He did not oonsldet tbs point

Tillman urged that lb* race question
wits Ibe one question In tbe whole
problem and hi* objection was to the
intention lo bring than igoomnt peo
ple of vitiated blood Into this oootitry
a* an integral part of It.
Senator Nelson contended that the
Philippine* wets not to become voters
under tbe arrangements proposed.
At (lie conclusion of Senator Kel
son's rrmarka, Senator White defined
his position as *n antl-expansloniM and
aaid speaking of tbe request of the Cal
ifornia legislature, that It* senators
vote for tbe pence treaty: "I would bo
glad to meet the desire of tiie legisla
ture nf California If It were possible
for me to do so without loss of self
respect end a aacratice of all my opin

Consideration of lira Nicaraguan
canal bill waa Ilian resumed, oousklera
Iton being on Senator Caffery’a nmend

prefer led prevented by Ura filibuster
tactics adopted by Senator Tillman,
who fraukly aunonoced Uut the bill
could nut be passed to day, xs be and
other senator*. if neeesiary. would ro
maio lo the chamber until midnight to
pi event a final vote.
Seualor Tillman declared that the
whole canal “achcnre” waa purely spvo
ulative, and had for Its main Idea tlra
pulling out nf tue treasury $6,000,000,
a eu in which be characterized as tbe
“last apple on tbe Use which the Mar

missed getting the $60,000,000 or $100

declared, "that tills scheme la u steal

Joint blgb commissi on tbst framed Uiu

ancestor, Samuel Hoar, was an officer
In the war of tlie revolution. Hie sou,
Samuel, was a prominent lawyer and a
whig politician durlog the drat half nr
U»le century. I remember when he was
soot by the legislature of Massicliu
setts to U* State of Sooth Carolina to
lest tbe constitutionality of the law of
that Slain Hint forbids free colored
persons from coming Into it. It took a
bold mail with a alrrak of fanaticism
in his nature to do that, but Samuel
Hoar dared to do It, and on his arrival
In Clmrleetno in 18S4 was promptly ex
pelled from that clly, sod then from
Uie Stale. He left with prurient »Uo
rlty. nod it raised an awful rumpus all
over New Englscd, aud they threat
ened (o seordc and light, but John Tyler
was the President, and they could do
nothing but talk and preach and threat
aod keep op the African stave trade.
We college boys wanted to Ggbt too.

down tn the line. It was a newspaper

brought on tba war that caused tbe
death of half million men and put •

What a commentary of fanaticism
Grover Cleveland bit it hard when he
said. "Tha pruicbara are for expansion
and colonisation and possession of tbs
Philippines that tliey may convert tbe
natives to Christianity and save their
souls. (Jf course we will have to kill s
few hundred thousand Oret, und wbat
is to become of tbelr dead souls Uit
preachers do not tell us. but I suppose
they oao arrange that.”
And now alter tbirty-ave years of
vain experiment and tlie wasting of
millions of money, the norib confesses
lie mistake, and is taking the back
track. South Carolina, Mississippi »nri
Loulsaoa have virtually eliminated tbe
