To Be Depended On.
Because Il Is the Experience OF Shen-

A stranger lost in large city would place
far more dependence on the directions given

another stranger like himself This is a
natural consequence Of experience; it's like

Our Duty to the Filipinos.

The Independent for the current
week will contain an article by Jacob
g. Schurman, president of Cornell
University, chairman of the United
States Commission to the Philip
pines, entitled "Our Duty to the
PHILIPPINES"
Much Of his argument deals with
the missionary question, and in this
regard he makes some pertinent
statements. The persons who go to
the Philippines in this capacity, he
says, must realize that they are con
tending with Catholic-educated
population that knows nothing about
the fine differences between Protest
ant sects and denominations. "There-
fore, it would be highly impolitic to
send missionaries of different denom-
nations to confuse the minds Of the
people. do hope that when we send
the missionaries we will decide before
hand on one form of Protestant
Christianity Send only one type of
missionaries. The Filipinos will then
have Catholic Christianity and Pro-
testant Christianity presented to
them, so they can take their choice. "
Continuing on the same line, Mr..
Schurman saws: THE priests have
ruled in Luzon so long that their in
fluence is widespread, and the natives
know of no other form of Christian
ity. The Roman Catholic Church has
bgen established there for 800 years,
and the archipelago was really
governed by the priests, and not by
the Spanish civil or military com
manders. OF the $13, 5000 raised on
the island annually, about $1,000 900
was used for the church's support.
We must credit the church with hav-
ing done a great deal of good work
among the natives. We must reckon
with these facts when we send mis-
sionaries to the Philippines. We owe
it to the Filipinos to give them the
best in our religion as well as in our
education
Mr.. Sehurman believes that the
fighting in the Philippines is nearly
over. He declares that only by actual
works and ocular demonstration will
the Filpinos be induced to rely upon
the word of the Americans. "COnse-
quently, / have urged it upon Con-
gress and the President to set up civil
government in the Philippines just
as soon as the military condition war
rants it. A simple government is
what is needed, and every province
should have it so they can learn the
meaning of our promises and inten-
tions. 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.
~ regret that the Americans al
lowed the saloon to get foothold on
the islands. That has hurt the Ameri-
cans more than anything else, and the
spectacle Of Americans drunk awak.
ems disgust in the FilipinOs. We sup
pressed the cock fight there and per.
mitted the taverns to flourish. One
emphasized the Filipino frailty and
the other the American vice. have
never seen a Filipino drunkard."
In conclusion, Mr. schurman dwell:
upon the great need Of an honest
civil service in the islands.

Berlin, Dec. 29-Regarding the
statement by the Lokal Anzeiger that
a secret Anglo-German-P Portuguese
treaty exists for the division Of the
Portuguese colonies in South Africa it
is asserted on the highest authority
that the story is a pure fiction and is
in all its claim without foundation in
fact. The high official who author
ICES this denial said: "The under
standing had by Great Britain, Ger
many and Portugal refers only to Af-
rica, and leaves Asia wholly out of
the account. These tiny enclaves in

Or imperialism.
City OF Mexico. Dec 29.-Imparcial
the leading newspaper organ of the
Liberal party, has a significant article
on what constitutes imperialism. tend
ing to show that the United States has
Joined England Russia, Germany and
France In career of conquest and ag-
grandizement. impartial declares that
Imperialism and expansion are symp-
toms of national unhealth and argues
that no nation which has ever played
the imperial role has endured but has
seen itself shorn of provinces and pos
sessions as fast as the outlying prov
inces grew strong enough to shake
off the yoke of their subjugators It
compares the conduct of the United
States in the Philippines to that Of
Great Britain in South Africa, and
ends by predicting that all expanding
nations will be forced to prodigal ex-
peuditures to maintain their hold on
the new possession, and so will be-
come bankrupt.
This utterance from the chief Lib
eral organ is significant of the senti-
ments Of the men of that party, now
dominant here.

COnsumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE,
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of BIS w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle Of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised rs
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle,
