incompetency of the officers who have
had charge of the countys affairs.

VIEWS OF A PRELATE.
Archbishop Ireland on the Church
Situation i'm the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-Archbishop Ire
land. of st. Paul. was seen at the Holland
House tonight, where he has been stopping
during his stay in New York and said. re-
sarding the attitude of the Roman Catholic
Church in the Philippines:
Who in America knows anything about
the Philippines? The church in the Philip
to the conditions under the new regime as
1t did under the old. The church will accept
the conditions that are to be, just as she ac-
cepts them in this country. All the civiliZa-
ton of the people of the Philippines has
been received from the priests. They are
the representatives of social and civil order
in the islands. The people were taught by
the priests and they were taught too much.
The priests will uphold this government as
they upheld the government of Spain That
is, as the representatives of order, they will
uphold the existing government. This gov
eminent will have to depend upon the
priests to a large extent for their moral in
fiuence in the interests of law and order.
This government will do well not to antag-
onize the priests. And l will say that /
to antagoniZe them, nor is there any dispo-
sition to do so in any quarter"
The archbishop was asked If the purpose
of his visit to Washington had been to dis
cuSS this matter with the President. He
said: II saw the President, but l cannot
say what the subject OF conversation was.
There is no truth in the published report
that the archbishop of Manila has issued a
circular of an unfavorable character against
the United states. AgulnaldO Is a Semi-Dar-
barous, ambitious fellow, impatient with the
priests because they uphold the ruling power
in the interest of law and order. He is
jealous of the power of the priests and
wants to rule absolutely himself. He re-
signed from the church under a mistaken
apprehension that such an act would gain
him favor in the eyes of Americans. The
conduct of the priests will depend entirely
upon the policy of the United States in the
Philippines and that | have no doubt will
be the same in this country
Archbishop Ireland will return to st. Paul
