TAFT TALKS ON PHILIPPINES.
Bryan and His Followers Caused Fill
ipinOS to BE Discomfort and to
Continue i'm Open Insurrection.

Bryan and His Followers Caused Fill
ipinos to BE Discomfort and to
Continue i'm Open Insurrection.
In answer to Bryan's attack on
in the Philippines, Judge Taft has
riddled in a speech to visitors to his
home in Concinnati, all the Nebras-
kan's assertions. He charges Bry-
ans influence as the cause of a
years bloodshed in the island pos
sessions.
In the course of the speech Judge
Taft said: I'm 1900, in the first
presidential campaign after the close
Of the Spanish war, Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that the paramount issue
was anti-imperialism. He and those
who supported him in that cam
paign and who had indicated their
policy even before the campaign
came on, condemned the course of
Mckinley with SO much vehemence
as to convince the Filipinos that it
was wise for them to continue in
| open insurrection, and Mr.. Bryan
and his followers were responsible for
the cost and suffering and loss of life
on both sides which arose during
an unnecessary year of war"
Mr.. Taft very pointedly shows
that Bryan advocated immediate in
dependence for the Filipinos direct
ly after the Paris treaty, and was in
favor of having them shift for them
selves, and then interfered as much
as possible with the efforts which
were being made to bring tranquility
to the islands. Mr.. Taft submits that
there is not the slightest resemblance
between the policies urged by the
two parties in respect to the Philip
pines and says: Hence, I say, that
one of the greatest reasons for keep.
ing Mr.. Bryan out of the Presidency
and his party out of Congress is thai
they are pledged to abandon the
islands, to accept the policy of scuttle
to rid this government of the burder
it has assumed with respect to thi:
people, and to halt the spread Of
civilization in that part of the Ori
ent." Mr.. Taft believes it will be {
generation or two before the Fill
pinos are fully ready for absolute in
dependence.

NIGHT RIDERS IN GEORGIA.
Negro Settlements Raided and Many
Churches and School Houses
Burned to the Ground.

Albany, Ca, Sept 2S.-There is
a reign of terror among the negro
inhabitants of a considerable por-
ton of Calhoun, Baker and Miller
Counties, as the result of raid by
night riders Saturday night, the
trail of the outlaws being marked by
the blackened ruins of thirteen ne
gro churches and school houses.
The night riders first made their
appearance at a point three miles
east of Kestler, where the first
Church was fired. They galloped
away toward the east and before the
glare of the first fire had reached its
height another was geing kindled a
few miles away. Fire followed fire
and the destruction of every build
ing to which the torch was applied
was complete.
Hundreds of negroes went to their
churches yesterday to attend services
only to find heaps of ashes where
their meeting houses had stood.
Many of the best members of the
negro race in the three counties
named are members of the congre
cations of some of the burned
churches.
| This is the same commnuit.

of negro lodge rooms were dyna
mited and where several lynching
