BRYAN,s AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY.

The report Of the Philippine Commission
&c the President is entitled to more than
passing notice The commission is COM
posed of able and conservative men rep
resenting both political parties In fact.
the members OF the commission were Sc
lected for their conservatism and judicial
character. These commissioners say there
the hope was not held out to the Tagals,
enc large tribe, that, If Mr.. Bryan should
be elected, they, with Aguinaldo as leader,
will be granted independence at once Mark
the words of the commission:
Policy of leniency eliminating in amnesty
bad marked effect to induce surrenders I'M
til defining of political issues in United
States, reported here in full, gave hope to
insurgent officers still In arms of changed
policy and stayed surrenders TO await re-
suit of elections. Disturbances In parts OF
island, kept up and avowed by insurgent
proclamation and orders TO influence cleo
ton. do not show unfriendly attitude Of
majority of people of provinces where they
occur, but only activity of small insurgent
bodies in mountain Businesses, whence they
issue for usually harmless night attacks
or murderous ambush of small American
squads, or to collect contributions or recruit
from people terrOriZed by cutting out
tongues, cutting off limbs burying alive,
murder and plumber.
This means that Aguinaldo would have
surrendered If the Kansas City convention
had not emphasized the sentiments of those
who have called themselves anti-imperial-
lists. More than year ago Mr.. Bryan was
lauded in an address to the people by some
OF their officials as one of the greatest
benefactors of the Tagals. Aguinaldo and
his followers guerrilla bands, await the
result of the election" spending the time
soldiers and numbering as many of them
as they can. and in perpetrating barbarous
and fendish outrages upon the peaceable
natives. who are the large majority. These
insurgents are committing these outrages
under the conviction that they are helping
his leaders hold the same opinion? Do they
believe that the American people will be
led to change the policy pursued by the
President and TO vote for Mr.. Bryan in
order that these murderers of American
soldiers may be acknowledged as the mas
tiers of Luzon? If not. why does not Mr.
Bryan make proclamation to Aguinaldc
that he can expect nothing of him in the
event that he is President unless he ceases
his hostility to the United States authori-
ties? Aguinaldo is watching events in this
country. He is as much interested in the
election of Mr.. Bryan as is any man ex.
pecting office under him in this country
II Mr.. Bryan should say: IT heartily con-
denim the policy of assassination which
Aguinaldo is pursuing" 1t would, in al
probability come to an end. At any rate
Mr.. Bryan could make the experiment
Why does he not do it?

INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

Bryan has decided to follow Roosevelt
through the West. 1t will be one of the
hardest of the many hard propositions that
the venturesome Nebraskan has ever
tackled.-South Bend Tribune.
The Democratic workers think that 1t Is
very pretty to receive pictures of Mr.. Bry-
an oiling the farm wagon, but they would
rather know just how Mr.. Jones looks
greasing the NATURALIZATION Courier.
There is nothing in the Constitution to
conflict with the Hon. ]. p. Altgeld's as
pirations for seat the bench of the
Supreme Court, but they are destined TO re-
oeive a rude shock at the hands of the
American voters.-Huntington Herald.
Prosperity will continue for all the Ameri-
can people if we keep the mills going. They
can be kept going by a sound currency and
going with free silver and the Bryan policy
IF abandoning our island possessions.-Wa-
lash Plain Dealer.
BY the way it turned out that a bunch
or federal troops was a pretty good thing
To have around when inhuman ghouls were
mutilating the dead and robbing the living
at Galveston the last few days Even mill
tarism. liz seems, is not without some adj
vantage.-Muncie News.
Several years ago the Empress dowager
Of China was sick and two hundred court
after q diagnosis that her complaint was
due to the extension of railways in China,
which sounds like resolution i'm Demo-
cratic platform in its admirable relation of
cause and effect.-Terre Haute Express.
Those timid people who imagine the Con-
stitution is violated and the Republic
destroyed because there are American SOL
diers in China without a declaration of war
by Congress. may be comforted by knowing
that the war with Mexico was fourteen
months old before there was a formal dec
laration Observation-Disclosures Call.
What denounce." said William j. Bry-
an when congressman, lis protective
tariff; ii Is false economy and the most
cursed this country Since then the gold
standard was the most vicious, and now
Imperialism is the most vicious principle
that ever cursed this CONTEMPLATION
Chronicle.
The civilized world knows of the many
attempts of Aguinaldo and his Tagal
bandits to exterminate all foreigners in
Manila, and not single great power would
be so unmindful of the interests OF its resi-
dent subjects as to consent to leaving them
without adequate foreign protection. When
Bryan proposes that We withdraw from
the Philippines and say to foreign power
hands off, he is indulging in the veriest
political slush.-Rochester Republican.
Mr.. Olney in his recent letter made strong
objection to commercialism in politics. SEN
ator Lodge agrees with him in opposing the
money influence in State and nation, but
puts the former in a queer light when he
adds: IF he finds salvation from CONNER
cialism in politics in a party one of whose
corner stones is Tammany, and one of
whose great leaders is Richard Croker-in
a party which has created the ice trust
he is of far more sanguine disposition than
i am."-Lafayette Courier.

. If there is any one who believes that the
gold standard is q good thing or that il
must be maintained, l want him not to
cast his vote for me, because promise him
IL Will not be maintained longer than / am
able TO get rid of il.
So said Mr.. Bryan at Knoxville IN 1896
AS there are thousands of men who voted
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 who believe in the
gold standard now if they did not then, it
seems that all such men should strive to
please Mr.. Bryan by not voting for him
this year. There really isn't much salts
faction in disobliging man by voting for
him.

The German Telegraph of Wednesday

The German Telegraph OF Wednesday
said editorially:
The manner in which Mr.. Bryan treated
the money question in his letter of ac-
ceptance would, In German students
phrase, fittingly be classified as supreme
suicide.
Yesterday the Telegraph contained
persistent advocacy of free silver. AS the
Telegraph is the oldest German Democratic
paper in Indiana and supported Mr. Bryan
four years ago. its changed attitude is
matter of some significance

About the hour that Judge Van VOrhis
was telling the national Democratic man.
ayers of the scheme of the Republicans to
corrupt Democratic election officers, Cam
didate Kern was telling the same dreadful
story to the Elkhart Truth. John w Kern
may know the average Democrat Of In
diana better than does the Journal but the
Journal does not believe that five hundred
of the 1000 Democrats who will act as
election officers can be bribed. AT any
rate, to assume that all of then can be
bribed is the most damaging thing that a
Democrat can say of his own party In
fact, Mr.. Kern insults all of the men whom
his committees may select as election Of
ficers by declaring that they are open to
bribery. Candidate Kern advertises him
self as an ignoramus while he attaches
infamy to every Democratic election officer.
There are about $500 precincts in Indiana,
therefore. $500 Democratic election Of
ficers must be bribed at the rate of $3.50
each. according to Kern. This would re-
quire sl.650,000, or three times as much
money as both parties will expend in In
diana. Mr.. Kern has made himself SUI
premely ridiculous. He should leave that
sort of drivel TO Judge" Van vorhis.

Mr.. Bryan has repeatedly denied the right
of the President of the United States to
send troops into State to enforce United
of the Governor of such State. Now the
public would like to know what he would

friend Altgeld was Governor.
