REPUBLICAN QUESTIONS BRYAN.
And the Nebraskan Winds Him Up in Short
Order. -
(By the Associated Press.)

Falls City, Neb., August 22.-This was
a busy day for Mr. Bryan. 1t was after
one o'clock this morning when he reached
Auburn his first stopping place after
leaving Lincoln. At eight O'Clock he
made an hours address there. At Te-
cumseh, the next stopping place he spoke
briefly and after a hasty dinner started
u9on a twenty-one mile drive across
country to Parwnee. At the Tecumseh
meeting the most interesting incident
was a colloquy between Mr. Bryan and
a gentleman in the audience. evidently
Republican, who propounded several
questions to the speaker. This gentle
man interrupted Mr.. Bryan toward the
close of his speech by suggesting that
the Filipinos were on a par with our In
dams. To this Mr.. Bryan responded:
Now, as l understand you, you think we
were right in taking the property of the
Indians?"
No sly
Then do you think it right to take
the property of the Filipinos?"
mo, sir" responded the man in the
audience. And nobody is going to. How
does the treatment of the Filipinos> differ
from the treatment of Jail birds in this
country? DO you believe in Furnishing
Jail birds ?"
Mr.. Bryan-'Your face is the face of
an intelligent man and you cannot fail
to see the difference between putting
men in the penitentiary for the commits
sion of a crime and going over to the
Philippines and taking charge of the gov
eminent of the Filipinos.

response of the interlocutor, who favor
ed the peace treaty, l think that man
ought to have some consistency about
him"
Il am much obliged for your mention
ing that" replied Mr.. Bryan, "for u
should not feel like bringing it to your
attention unless called upon to do so.
urged the ratification of the treaty and
also urged the passage of the resolution
promising independence to the people of
the Philippines, and if your Republican
Administration had passed the resolution
there would not have been one drop OF
blood shed in the Philippines"
ooh, that is your opinion"
"That is not only my opinion, but If
you will stop to think about it and give
the public the honest result of your
we had made the same promise of indie
pendence to the Filipinos that we did to
the Cutans we would have had no con-
nict there. Had We treated Cuba as we
did the Flipinos. there would be war in
Cuba today, and had we treated the Fill
pines as we did the Cubans there would
be no war in the Philippines today"
The uuestioner made an indistinct ref
erence to Mr.. Bryan's capacity for the
Presidency, and asked Mr.. Bryan If he
believed the Filoinos were capable of
self-g government. To this Mr.. Bryan re-
piled:
Admiral Dewey stated in message to
the Secretary of the Navy that the Fill
pinos were better capable of seh-govern-
ment than the Cubans, and that he based
his Judgment after a study of both races.
Whether YOU believe as l do or not you
are not able to draw the line between the
natural right of the Filipino and the nat
ural right of the Cuban. If it is true Of
the Cubans. it is true of the Fflipinos
as we'll"
