A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The most serious of all the many
problems which confront ua in the
Philippines, the question which la,
more than all others, most pregnant
with menace to American relations
wUh the island people, is undoubted
ly the religious question, says A. O.
Robinson, writing- In the Independent.
The islanders are not to be classed as
heathens, ignorant and untaught sav
ages who "bow down to wood and
stone." They are no more heathen than
are the people of the West Indies. In
Porto Rico and in Cuba the religious
problem was a comparatively simple
one, so far as its complications with
political affairs are concerned. The
relation In those countries between the
church and the state was intimate.
But the relations of the church to the
people presented no such features as
thoe which exist In the Philippines,
In the West Indies the spiritual guid
ance of the people was in the hands
of the Roman Catholic church, dis
tinctly as a church organisation. In
the Philippines that guidance Is in
the bands of the monastic orders, the
Franciscans, the Dominicans, the Au
gustins and, in a more limited area,
the Jesuits.
In this connection one point' Is clear
ly noticeable. The West Indian's re
ligion meant little to him: the Fili
pino's means a great deal. In both
Pcrto FJco and Cuba I found a pro
nounced Indifference to church matters
among the people.
That is not the cape in the Philip
pines. Their religion, that of Roman
Catholicism, means much to the Filipino
people. Men as well as-women 'are
faithful in their attendance tyjon
church worship, not only on Sunday,
but as well upon the prescribed holy
days. Stand for an hour by a church
door in Manila at any time of day dur
ing; the week. The majority of men
who pass -vv ill be seen to lift their hats
as they pass the portal. Go into any
church during the earlier hours of
Sunday. It will be found well filled,
often uncomfortably so, with worship
ers. To the unprejudiced observer It would
seem that the vital question was one
of providing a people with religious
teachers whom they will respect and
trust. Material questions might be de
cided later. The buildings erected by
Roman Catholics might well be con
sidered as property of the Roman Cath
olic churcii. How property held by
monastic orders belonging to that
church is to be or could be transferred
to the ownership of the mother church
Is a matter for determination by ec
clesiastical councils, if there be no es
tablished rule of procedure and no ade
quate precedent. It is hardly to be
held that the United States govern
ment should Interfere and order any
definite form of settlement. Law
courts may determine questions of
titles If claims be set up for any of
the property now held or claimed by
the brotherhoods. But, good title be
ing shown, the United States can on
ly uphold those titles regardless of
those in whose hands the titles may
lie. Much of it, therefore, becomes a
matter for purely ecclestlastlcal deter
mination. The more Important question Is the
ministration of those churches, and
that is the iiiout vital point to the
people of the Philippines. It la a man
ifest wrong to foist upon them an un
acceptable priesthood. A priesthood It
wanted. Is needed. . The clearest and
wisest course would seem to be the
immediate establishment of men and
a system which would be acceptable
and satisfactory to the people. Apolo
gists for the existing order of things
Insist that the present institution Is
eflUlent and reasonably free from faults,
That avoids the main Issue, which lies
In the fact that the people are not
satisfied, and have again and again
risen in protest and revolt It seems
most unwise and Impolitic to Insist upon
the retention of an objectionable sys
tern. It might well be that under such
a system the United States would be
forced to interfere. If revolts were
to come In the future, as they have
In the past, the matter would concern
the peace and order of the Islands, the
life and property of citixens, soma cf
whom would have no concern in the
affair.
While the pathway to a solution of
the prcblem would doubtless prove
thorny and devious, the solution itself
mould appear to be reasonably simple.
The determination of property owner
ship must rest with competent courts,
or with commissions duly authorised
to pronounce final Judgment An ac
ceptable priesthood and system should
be provided for the people. The basis
must, of course, be the same as that
in the United States, religious free
dom and the maintenance by each or
ganization of its own Institutions.
These facts should be recognised by
Pope Leo, and his influence and power
thrown upon the side of the people, even
If there be some cost of property to
particular monastic orders. Churches,
whether Roman Catholic or Protestant
exist for the salvation of souls and
the maintenance or enrichment of
not for the maintenance or enrich
ment cf priestly orders.
THE HAT-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY.
Chicago Times-Herald.
Senator William E. Mason of Illinois
has desisted from his labors In manu
facturing sympathy for the Boers long
enough to turn bis batteries in the
direction cf the HayPauncefote trea
ty and to drop a few shells in the vi
cinity of the gentlemen who were re
spcnsible for negotiating that agree
ment " :f
In the current number of The Inde
pendent Senator Mason vigorously
assails the idea,' that we should take
millions of dollars from the pockets of
our people to build an interocean can
al, which, under the rule of military
necessity, will be controlled by tbe
nation or allied nations that control
the greatest naval power. Under the
Hay-Fauncefote tr;aty, without the
Davis amendment says the Illinois
Senator, "we Invite the nations of the.
world to guarantee that we shall not
possess the legal power to close It
atainst our enemies in times of war,
and that we will not even prepare our
selves to physically assist our navy in
defending It, even from the assaults of
opn enemies who may violate the
terms of the treaty." It is incompre
hensible to Senator. Mason, as It is to
every Intelligent American, how we
can afford to guarantee our enemy's
war vessels from access through our
own property to assist them In destroy
ing the lives and property of our citi
zens. The senator answers the objections
that have been made to a fortified can
al separately and completely, and
shows that none of them Is defensible
from the standpoint cf national pru
dence or safety. England leaves none
of her interests unprotected. She has
fortified to the north and to the couth
of us. She will not Invest a dollar In
the isthmian canal enterprise. To de
tain the fleet of an enemy approach
ing the Pacific ocean, for even one or
two days by the use of mines or tor
pedoes, might be worth many times the
cost of the fortifications in fact. It
might be worth more than could be es
timated In money.
Senator Mason, In common with most
American lawyers who have studied the
question, believes tht we do not need
to pay such a price for the abroga
tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. He
believes that the treaty can be annulled
and honorably disposed of by act of
congress. The treaty was made fifty
years ago this month. It has been
abandoned practically for years. More
over, the canal contemplate! under that
treaty Is not the cana! contemplate!
under the treaty now pending. Our po
sitions relatively and actually have
changed during the half century.
In making this plea for an Ameri
can fortified canal, built, owned and
controlled by America, Senator Mason
is giving an illuytratlon of how use
try If he will devote his abilities to
domestic affairs Instead of trying to
get th. nation to Intermeddle in a for
tlgn war. ' . ' '

This shows that within three years

therefore, an Increase of only $70,000,
