An Unanswered Question.

An Unanswered Question.
We are sorry that Mr.. Bryan
did not answer the question
which was put to him in his
Wednesday evening speech in the
Auditorium. 1t was not only a
fair and candid question, but one
which occurs to every man who
listens to democratic criticism of
he administrations present
course in the Philippines. Mr..
Bryan was talking of the dishon-
esty of taking these islands from
The Filipinos, whom he repre-
eeuted as a liberty-loving people
who were as one man struggling
Tor freedom as did the fathers of
The revolution, and a stranger
n the audience courteously asked
The speaker: "Would you aban-
Ion the Philippines?' Mr.. Bryan
admitted that the question was
Fair and that it was asked in good
aith, but he did not answer it.
He said that he would assure the
Tilipinos that they would be al
owed to create an independent
md stable government, and that
when they had done this the
Stands would be turned over to
hem. But what meanwhile?
0ne of the savage tribes has fired
lpon Our soldiers, and is trying
10 drive them out of the islands.
Fhe question asked was evidently
bot intended to bring out Mr..
Bryan's views as to the ultimate
disposition of the islands. That
Question is as yet in no sense a
party question, and is yet to be
determined. The question was
is to what in Mr.. Bryan's judg-
nent was the present duty of the
american people toward rebel
ion actually in progress. Mr..
1ryan's questioner wanted to
Know whether if he had the power
Mr.. Bryan would withdraw the
rcops now there, and abandon
he Philippines" Certainly if
his is a war of conquest, and if
Ir. Bryan is opposed to such a
var---and he says he is---he ought
o be willing to fairly answer
What in his Judgment should be
lone now. But he did not answer
t, and he cannot be induced to
answer it, though it was a peril
lent question, and was courteous
y and manfully put. We are
confronted in the Philippines
With condition and not a theory.
rebellion is a-ield. It is not
he struggle of a whole people
or liberty, as Mr.. Bryan says,
but is the outbreak of a tribe
lgainst constituted authority.
Before the question of the
Ultimate disposition Of the
Stands is taken up, this imme-
late question must be solved,
nd Mr.. Bryan criticises the Nc
Alnley administration for its way
f solving it but he does not tell
us way. The leaders of the re-
bellion have been given every
possible assurance Of the largest
POSSIBLE measure of independence
ompatible with good order. This
oes not suit them. Aguinaldo
wants us to abandon the Philip
Iines at once. Does Mr.. BRYAN
hink that we should do so?

Sioux Fall Argus: Robert Emmett
Dowdell, the great calamity bowler
from Sanborn county passed through
the city couple of days ago. On the
trip down Mr.. Dowdell got in CONVEX
sation with number of gentlemen.
Some of them were residents of this
city and other travelling men. OF
course Robert Emmett had to run off
into Populism. He told them all how
the country under. Republican rule was
going to demunition howwows. A
short time afterwards he got to talk
ing on the increased immigration and
the large amount of land being sold.
Mr.. Dogdell forgot his calamity talk
for few minutes and told his hearers
that there had never been such an inn
migration to this state as had been ex-
perienced this spring and summer. He
announced that he had cleaned up
something like $500 on real estate
during the past three months. And
futher stated that he had deeds in his
inside pocket for thirteen qnarter Sec
tions of land in Sanburn county which
he was carrying to eastern purchasers
and expected to dispose of every one of
them before he returned. One of the
travelling men drew the attention OF
Mr.. Dowdell to his calamity remarks of
short time previous. The Pop states
man put his thinking cap on for min
ute and then removed to another car.

Perth Amboy Cashier Robs the Bank
and Surrcnders Himself.

New York, July 14.-Gcorge Nj. Nalen-
tine, cashier of the Mddlcscx County
bank of Perth Amboy, \. j.. which was
closed today. has surrendered himself
and is now in jail on account of Il short
age in the banks funds which has been
variousIy estimated all the way to S1Go.-
600. The affair caused CONSERVATION
and dismay among the business men of
Perth Amboy. where the MiddleseX
County bank was considered as strong as
the eternal hills. SO panic stricken did
the residents of Perth Amboy become
when it was learned that the MiddlcscX
County bank had failed to open for bust
ness as usual. this morning that crowds
surrounded the Perth Amboy Savings
Institution. but the run was of brief
duration. On Monday last Cashier Val
entine evidently concluded that he could
no longer conceal the shortage at the
MiddleseX County bank. On that morn
ing he tclephoned President Watson that
he was detained. but he said that he
would appear at noon. The bank had
then opened for business and Mr. Wat
son, who was taking the absent cashiers
place discovered that there should have
been some $500 in bills on hand to
commence operations that morning.
These he could not find.
An investigation of the banks ac-
counts indicated Immediately that they
had been juggled for months. 1t was
developed that Valentine had checked
heavily against the Park National Bank
of this city, Il correspondent of the Mid
dlesex bank, but the figures on the stubs
of his check book did not correspond to
those on the checks themselves. the
checks calling for more than the stubs
recorded. This method of tinanciering
ruined the bank.
Cashier Valentine returned to Perth
Amboy from brief absence, and was
arrested.
President Watson is of the opinion
that the cashiers defalcation will
amount to at least S125,000. Where the
money went to is not known. as the
cashier is said to have been moderate
in his habits of life.
Valentines bond was fixed for So00O0.
His relatives are wealthy, and it is said
they will cndeavor to make good the
shortage.
