The day that the F%illpinos govern
ment, to be established by Bryan, sees
the American troops withdrawn, 1t will
cease to be on its good behavior, Then
those Tagals who have figured during
the last year and a half as leaders OF
insurgents will proceed to satisfy the
hates they have been cherishing so
long. Then all the F1lipinos who have
given laid and comfort" to the
Americans will suffer for IL. Then the
Chinese In the islands will be the VIC
tins of the fury Of the Tagals. Then
the Americans and all the white men
in Manila who have In any way earned
the Ill will of the followers Of Aguinal-
do will have to fly to save their lives.
Then foreign governments, not igno-
rant Of the fact that In the contempla-
tion of international law the Philippine
islands were still subject to the juris-
diction OF the United States, would
come forward with their demands for
compensation for injuries inflicted on
their subjects.

BRYAN'S FILIPINO POLICY AND
IT'S RESULTS.

The policy concerning the PhilS-
pines, which Bryan will do what lies
in his power to carry cut If elected
President, is set forth In the Democrat
ic National platform as follows:
1--WE favor an immediate declaration
OF the nations purpose to give TO the
Filipinos, first, a stable form OF govern
ment; second, independence; and,
third, protection from outside inter
ference, such as has been given FOR
nearly a century to the republics OF
Central and South America"
Should Mr.. Bryan be elected Presi-
dent he cannot lawfully of his own
motion notify the FIlipinos that they
are to have independence and protec-
ton when a stable government has
been established. Congress can DO
that, while he cannot, for TO 1t Is given
the power to dispose OF the territory
belonging to the United States. 1t can
ALLEVIATE such territory or give a prom
ise that that shall be done when q GER
tain contingency happen.
1t Is admitted that even If the Demo-
Gratis should elect Bryan next fall and
at the same time get control Of the next
House Of Representatives, the Senate
will remain Republican for two Year,
at least. So during that period IL will
not be lawful for Bryan, if elected, to
make any promises Of future %independ-
ence to the FiliplnOs. 1t will be his
duty, however, to enforce the authority
of the United States In the ~islands-to
take up the work which President Nc
inley has begun and endeavor to estab-
lish a stable government by Americans
in the islands.
This is not, however, the course
which Mr.. Bryan is likely to follow If
President. Presumably he will hasten
to carry out the pledges Of the Demo
cratic platform without waiting for the
concurrence of Congress. II he Is sin
cere in his declarations that the United
States has no right to be in the Phil
ippines and that President Mckinley
has been carrying on "a war Of crimi-
nal aggression against the Filip.nos,'
he will call on the latter TO establish a
stable government as President John
son invited the ex-confederates OF the
States lately in rebellion" to organize
State governments. Then when the
F%ilipinos have adopted a constitution
and elected officers Mr.. Bryan will look
upon the work and say that it is good.
Then he will declare that troops are
no longer needed in the islands and
will withdraw them or most OF them,
assuring the Filipino government that
in O year or two the United States will
recognize its independence.
