Interesting Article on America's Larg3 Responsibilities, The Catholic Rule in Luzon?Mis- j sionaries Confuse the Heathen. ; Honesty Must be Pi acliced?Urges Establishment of Civil Government New York, December 27.?The Independent for the current week will contain an article by Jacob G. Schurman. President of Cornell University and Chairman of the United States Commission to the Philippines, entitled "Our Duty to the Philippines." The following is an abstract: "We have 40 to 50 tribes to civilize, and seven or eight of these tribes have some 300,000 members each. On the Island of Luzon there is one tribe of a million and a half people who speak one language as totally distinct from the other languages as Spanish is from English. Another tribe cn ihe same island,, numbering about 600,000, is as distinct from the others in language and characteristics as i they are from the Spaniards them selves. Then on the great island of Mindanao there are many tribes that are entirtly different from each other. In Sulu archipelago we come to another class of natives, about whose custom of slavery so much has been said recently. These are Mohammedans, while in Luzon the natives are all Catholic Christians. ' The priests have ruled in Luzon so long that their influence is widespread, and the natives know, of no other form of Christianity. The Roman Catholic church has been established three for SCO years, and the archipelago was really governed by the priests and not by the Spanish civil or military commanders. Of the $13,500,000 raised on the island annually, about $1,500,(00 was used for the church's support. Each small church would receive about $500 for its support and the priest an allowance of S300. We must credit the church with having done a great deal of good work among the natives. We must reckon with those facts when we send missionaries to tha Philippines. ' Missionaries are needed in the islands, and I hope they will be sent therein large numbers. There is plenty of work for them to do, and I hope they will go, with a complete understanding of the situation, to accomplish good. They must realize that they are contending with a Catholic educated population that knows nothing sbout the fine differences between Protestant sects and denominations. Therefore it wou^d be highly impolite to send, missidnaries of different denominations to confuse the minds of the people. I do hope that when we do send the missionaries we will decide beforehand on one form cf Protestant Ufiiistianity Sena onjy one tjpe 01 missionary. The Filipinos will then have Catholic Christianity and Protestant Christianity presented to them so they can make their choice. We have no adequate idea how confusing to the simple minds of an uncivilized people the different forms of Protestant faith appear. The Chinese, who perhaps are more intelgent than the Filipinos, regard our d.fferent denominations a8 so many different religions. "I think the Island of Mindanao is a mo? j prominent field for missioraries to began their work in tl an Luzon. The ufiuence of the CatLolic church has not been extended to Mindanao, and the simple natives would more readily accept the type of faith which the Americans would teach them. It is possible that it would be dangerous to send missionaries to the interior of this island at present, but as conditions become more settled and the Americans aie locked upon with a more fiiendly feeling, this place will be a rich field for the American missionary. AVe owe it to the Filipinos to give them the best in cur religion as well as in our education. "I believe the fighting in the Philippines is nearly over, and our armies now fighting in northern Luzon | will soon be required only to keep j down the baDdits. The organized army has disappeared, and with it | we might say the whole insurrection, j Most of the leaders of the insurrection have been dispersed or have been won over* to our side. "I do not say that all the insui ! gfnt leaders were dishonest. I believe that many who fought againsi the Americans were animated by the highest loyalty of independence. I think probably Aguinaldo is one of this class, and that be is an honest man. I "One reason for the stubborn opposition to our occupation of the islands was a legacy of suspicion and hatred of the white man which Spain bequeathed to us. The Filipinos know the white race only by one specimen. Spain to them represents the whole world of Europeans?the whole white race?and ber authori- ; ties made promises repeatedly to / them and broke them. They will not today trust Americans or Spaniards or any other Europeans. Nor is it strange that they distrust the prom C* - %r ?? . ises of the Americans. This distrust of the white race is one cf the prob" lems that will require years of labor to overcome. You cannot overcome it with words. It must be dissipated by actual works: they must have ocular demonstration that the words of the Americans can be relied upon. Not until then will they begin to believe us. Consequently I have urged it on Congress and the President to set up civil government in the Philippines just as soon as the military condition warrants it. A simple government is what is needed and every province should have it so they can learn the meaning of our promises and intentions. The President is in possession of the fullest information about the needs and condition of the islands and he can judge better than we can what is the best thing to do. But as soon as a province is subdued some civil gov eminent should be set up so that its ' operations before their eyes will teach them of its benefits. "I regret that the Americans allowed the saloon to get a foothold on islands. That has hurt the Americans more than anything else, and the spectacle of Americans drunk awakens disgust in the Filipinos. We suppressed the cock fight there and permitted the taverns to flourish. One emphasized the Filipino fruility and the other the American vice. I have never seen a Filipino drunkard. "In Manila, which is really a cosmopolitan city, in Iloilo and oth.r cities of the islands, you will find educated Filipinos who are bright and pleasiDg to meet socially. It is a good thing that we have such a nuclus of education to begin with. The great massee, of course, are ignorant, but the one good thing in their favor is that they have thirst for knowledge. With good American schools on the islands, the leven of general education will produce results for the masses that will develop the race rapidly. The Filipinos have many other good characteristics. They are honest by nature, and show it in their dealings, although suspecicus of the white man. "They need roads out there and their construction is the first necessity when peace is restored to the is lands. Then after that should come the schools. Let these be established and the missionaries tr*mitted to the province and success is assured. "But one thing I wish to empha- ; size more than another point that 1 I have dwelt upon. We must make J an honest civil service a permanent j institution on the islands. Spain es- | tablished the spoils system, and the j corruption which has followed from it has made three centuries of evil government for the people, and fioally resulted in her own overthrow. The best man in the Uoited States is none too good to go to the Philippines as Governor General. He must mete out justice to all, and to teach the Filipinos by his decisions a d example that he is their friend. By sending: out such a man we will sue- } ceed, but if we send an ordinary political appointee we shall fail. I am confident that the right man will be sent, and then our experiment will be a national success.'1 - . Volcanic Eruptions Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of j jy.

Washington, Dec. 27.?The remains of 151 sailors, killed at the time the Maine was destroyed, arrived here this morning over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in a special train of six cars.

About 30 requests I were received by the navy depart- j ment for the bodies of the victims j of the Maine disaster, but in only : ten of these cases had the bodies been identified. The other 20 were either in the list of unidentified deed or among the bodies not recovered. Owing to the confusion in which the graves were found when the dead were disinterred at Habana the department has reluctantly decided not to extend to the relatives and friends of the other nine positively identified I bodies the privilege of burying the remains at home. Of the 151 bodies which are to be ; buried at Arlington tomorrow, 63^ were identified at the time of their intermfnt in Colon cemetery.

' I don't know, sir,-' answered the eleik, "I'il ask Mike." The Irishman wa3 summoned. Said the clerk: ' Mike, there was no call for Mr. Jefferson. Why did you disturb him?" Taking the clerk by the lapel of the coat the Hibernian led him to one side and said, in a mysterious whisper: "He was snoring loike a horse, sor, and Oi'd heard the bjs saying as bow he were onct afther shlaping for twinty year3, so Oi says to meself, ses Oi, 'Moike, its a cooming onto him agaiD, and its yer juty to gifc the crayther out o? yer house instantlj!"
