FORMERLY PIRATES.

For two centuries and half the
MuSsulmans of Mindanao and the
Sulus were pirates and a source Of
terror to the entire Philippine group.
Their war junlis. though never exceed
ing seven tons in size, We're sklfully
navigated and able to make long voy-
ages. Murder rapine and the slave
trade were the objects of the piratical
expeditions sent to Negros, Panay. and
even to Luzon prior to the develop
mcnt of steam navigation.
Countless expeditions against these
pirates were organized by the Span
iards at great cost, but it was not un-
til 1860, when eighteen steam gunboats
were sent to the Philippines, that Mus
sulman piracy, except in the immed-
late neighborhood Of their own islands,
was completely eXtinguished.
Zamboanga, the strongly fortified
port and naval station on the south
ern coast of Mindanao, to which the
Spanish forces recently retreated from
lloilo, was long the headquarters Of
Spanish operations against the pirat-
ical Moslems. 1t was in Spanish pos
session for more than two centuries,
and until very lately the only Span
ish outpost held in the Mussulman ter
ritory.

The highest religious office is that of
Cherif, which is a hereditary post, car
rying with it temporal power. His sub
ordinates in the hierarchy are known
as pandita, a title having the sgnifi-
canoe of priest. The pandita wields
large influence alike in worldly and
spiritual affairs, performing the office
of physician and officiating at the
religious exercises Of his faith.
Public worship is held on Friday,
when worshippers are called on the
mosque by beating upon box or hol-
low piece of wood. Solemn ceremonials
mark births and deaths. At the funeral
of a datto or chief the panditas intone

parties in this respect are strongly Opportunist,

A CHURCH WITHOUT SELF-GOVERNMENT.
The Opportunism Of the Bishops and the
Erastianism of the Church Association in reality
lead to the same conclusion, namely, that the
English Church is without self-government.
Opportunsm comes to this: that the only rem
edy for awlessness IS good advice from the
Archbishops when they are poweress to enforce
their decisions. That is confession that a
great religious communion cannot govern itself
