Now or wever With Acuin,Ido.

The Taft commission in the Philip
pines has been sending home reports
that the situation in the islands was
steadily improving. These reports are
not Inconsistent with the recent squirt
in activity among the wandering in
surgent bands in Luzon The in
surgcnts realize that it is now or never
with them. and there is no doubt that
it considerably more never than now.
Months ago they gave up all attempts
70 make any organized resistance to
our troops. They simply fade away
when a column advances. The skirn-
ishes of which we hear now are raids
on provision trains and small outposts.
1t is the form of fighting we should eX-
pect from a foe whose once large force
and strong organization has been
smashed to pieces. Much the same
thing from the same causes is
happening in South Africa where the
fragments of the Boer army, like the
Filipino guerrilla bands. are keeping
up hostilitics which cannot possibly
affect the military result already ac-
complished.
The suggestion implied at least by
the report of the Taft commission, that
the present outburst OF hostilities may
be influenced by our political campaign
in the United States, is generally re-
garded as plausible. To the insurgents
Mr.. Bryan appears to be their uncom-
promising champion. Our officers in
the Philippines have found circulars
signed by Sandico and other insurgent
leaders in which the promise is held
out 70 their men still in arms that if
they will persevere a little longer they
Will meet with a great reward if Bryan
is elected, that they will be granted
complete independence. The Philip
pines are far off and it may be that
the insurgent leaders have not had the
opportunity to study the Bryanite pro
gram. They may not have learned
that Mr.. Bryan wants to protect
them. Or they may have learned the
fact and have kept it to themselves. AT |
all events they are clearly Of the i'm
preston that some very good things
will come to them if Bryan is elected
in November, and that the best part
Of it will come to those still in arms. !
With the reelection Of President Nc
Kinley the insurrection is likely u
fade into nothingness, and those now
in arms Will be in mood to accept the !
program Of local self government and
industrial development which the Taft
commission is authorized to offer 10 all !
the people Of the islands.
