Mr.. BRYAN's DILEMMA.

{ Candidate Bryan faces mora nan one
dilemma when he meets the full force
Of reasoning against his political va

amount issue Of Imperialism. his pet
hobby. the Nav York Tribune shows
where he land il the following:
Ever since the Kansas City conven-
.@ti9n declared that all territory belong

extending polvsr Of the constitution
subjected 70 the rules Of government
prescribed in that instrument and that
the action of the republican admins

cll!iaa' government suited to the local
NEEDS in Porto Rico was unconstitu-
tipral, republicans have been asking
Nh Bryan 10 reeoncile that doctrine
With his proposal 10 set up a stable
government IN the Philippines over
which the constitution Of the United
states VIII no't operate, but Whish the
government of the United States Will
protect, defend and be responsible for.
a me last two months My. Bryan has
tSnade many speeches. but he has never
thrown light on that subject He is
glib With phrases about the constitu-
ton. He can eleveriy dodge around a
ieoInsrfronl a troublesome question like
that of TIC government Of negroes
Without the consent OF the governed in

end. But he viii not squarely and

We are glad 70 notice that d few days
fago at indianapolis Mr.. Seth Low took
Occasion 70 dissect Mr. Bryan's shallow
reasoning about a Iproteciorate for the
l5Philippines, such as he assumes We ex-
4;ereise over. South America. Mr. Low
\ showed that the so-called proteetorate
of the southern republics is no protec-

Ito the democrats their utter inconsist-
3sancy. According TO their point of view
4 There was not a shadow of authority to
establish Il protectorate conferred by
/ the constitutions. and If the government
i had no powers independent of the con-

themselves said that Porto Rico and OF

4 actiy the same status With respect Ia
the constitution, We're already an inte-
1,gra part of the union: and. if so, there
was clearly no constitutional authority

porated into the union, and to set up an
independent government there would
.iclearly violate the constitution. Mr.
Low conclusion was:

independent, establish a protecrorate
over them, rule them as dependency.
The question with them is merely one
of expediency and national welfare in
administering each particular place of
territory belonging to the United
States. But if Mr.. Bryan adopts that
theory-and he cannot carry out his
policy without doing so-what becomes
of his scare over republican imperial
