From the Inter Ocea,

If elected, / shall convene congress

am inaugurated, and recommend an
Immediate declaration of the nations
purpose, first to establish stable form
! of government in the Philippine isl
ands, Just as we are now establishing o
stable form of government in the island
OF Cuba; second, to give independence
to the Filipinos, just as we have promis-
ed to give independence to the Cubans !;
/ third to protect the Filipinos from out
side Interference while they work out
their Own destiny, just as we have pro-
tected the Central and South American,
states and are, by the Monroe doctrine,
| pledged to protect Cuba.
Articles 8, 10, IL, II and - of the
Spanish treaty provide that Spanish
subjects may remain in the Philippine
islands and carry on their trades and
professions, shall be undisturbed in
their religion, retain their copyrights
and patents, and shall have the same
right in the courts as citizens.
Article 8 of the treaty provides that
the session of the island "shall not in
any respect impair the property or
rights which by law belong to the
peaceful possession of property of all
kinds, of provinces, municipalities,
public or private establishments, &C.
clesiastical or civic bodies, or any
other associations having legal capa-
city to acquire and possess property, or
of private individuals of whatsoever
nationality"
These guarantees of all life and prop
erty in the archipelago have been I'M
dertaken towards every civilized gov
eminent on the globe. They have
been undertaken and signed and
sealed, and Mr.. Bryan himself advo-
Gated the undertaking and the signing
and the sealing of them. They are not
like our obligations in Cuba, limited
specifically by the term of American
occupation, but are unlimited and per-
petual. They are known to be such,
and are known today to be such by
every intelligent American, whether he
be President, cabinet official mem
Der of congress, or private citizen.
They were known and are known to be
such by Mr.. Bryan. Yet he calmly an
nounced by way of explanation to his
indianapolis audience, that he advoca-
ted the assumption of them merely for
temporary purpose, and that he now
purposes, in case he be elected to the
presidency, to violate them, fout them,
repuiiate them, in defiance of the
whole civilized world.
1t is safe to say that no presidential
candidate ever appealed to the Ameri-
can people on such platform of ire
sponsible perlidy, A more disastrous,
war breeding, disgraceful, and dishon-
orable act than proposed by Mr..
Bryan it would be hard to imagine
And the worst of it is that he avowed
it without word or sentence TO indi-
cate that he realized the utter lunacy
of it.

| We found the wind of Thursday night
| had been having lots of fun. At n. G.
Nelson's it blew down his windmill
tower, pulling a seven foot anchor out
of the ground, and took the top off his
oat stacks. 1t seemed to have spite
at Joe Donor for it scattered twelve
wheat stacks over about ten acres of
ground which caused Joe and his men
to CATER up and re-stack. Joe says he
is damaged at least 500. At Peter
Jacobson's place it blew down sixty
foot windmill tower and made kindling
wood of it. At the Bison farm large
hickory and couple of apple trees
were turned ont by the roots. An oak
tree in front of the Cotton home in
home in the village of Oakfield, that
had stood the storms and blasts of half
a century, was twisted off at the ground
and now fit only for firewoOd. Along
the road to w. b. Temples the tops
are broken out of a large number of
naples, elm and bOx-elder trees, not
wishing to slight Mr.. Temple, it turn
ed over a few old apple trees for HIM.
At Clarence SCOTS. on the old POage
farm, it moved the barn from its foun-
datiOn, damaged his corn cribs and out
houses and blew down quite a number
of fruit trees for him. The maple and
