Bryan's Position.
\ telegram to the Philadelphia
Times from Atlanta, Georgia, says:

4 telegram to the Philadelphia
Times from Atlanta, Georgia, says;
"The friends of w. J. Bryan in
Georgia and Alabama are anxious
about the attitude of Senator Nor
gan, OF Alabama. in declaring that
he seriously objects to Mr. Bryan's
view that Congress, when 1t assem-
bles, should order the withdrawal of
all troops from the Philippines, a
proposition that would be against all
the laws of humanity and which
would be a dishonor and disgrace to
this country, says the Senator
"In order to bring about a better
understanding between Senator Nor
gan and Mr.. Bryan and stop the
trouble that is brewing. Editor
Clark Howell, Democratic National
Committeeman, urged Mr.. Bryan to
make a clear statement of his views
on the Philippine problem. and the
Nebraskan has wired Mr.. Howell
from Humphrey, Neb., as follows;
1.-the treaty should have provided
for the independence of the Philip
pine Islands. as it did for the inde
pendence of Cubs, but | thought 1t
better to ratify the treaty and declare
the nations policy by resolution than
reject the treaty. | favored the
Bacon resolution, which promised
the FllipinOs independence as soon
as a stable government could be es-
tablshed. | believe, further, that
our nation should protect the Filipino
Republic from outside interference
while it works out its own destina-
ton. Ia other words, | believe we
should treat the FilipinOs as We have
promised to treat the Cubans, and as
we treated the people of Mexico and
the people of South and Central
America. Monsrchies are founded
upon force, but republics are found
ed upon consent.
"'The Declaration of Independence
asserts that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed. If the declaration is sound,
we cannot rightfully acquire title by
conquest or by purchase from an
alien monarch, whose title we dis
puted when he furnished arms to the
Filipinos.
"'If the administration had given
to the Fllipinos the assurance OF IN r.
dependence which was given the Gu
bans, there would have been no
bloodshed. If that assurance is given
now hostlties will cease. No one
proposes to withdraw the soldier
until a stable government is estab
lshed, but it will be easy to estao
lish a stable government when it IS
known that our occupation of the
Philippine Islands is only temporary.
'Forcible annexation would be
criminal aud contrary to our code
of morality"

In 1867 Professor George Davidson of

been a fraudulent scheme upon the part

idea that he might lecture before the
