McKinley's War ON Religion.

Mckinley's War on RELIGION.
The protest Of MOnsignOr Sbarretti
against the decree Of Gen. Brooke, de-
claring that civil marriages only should
be recognized by law, will make an
impression on everyone not animated
by hatred Of all religion. Catholics
and PrOtestants alike" he declared,
complain because they were obliged
to perform one ceremony to satisfy
the law and another ceremony to sat
fsfy their cOnsciences. To this neither
Cubans nor Americans were accustom-
ed. What Is now asked Is the marriage
regulations generally obtaining in the
United States, where, in this as in all
things else, Is allowed the greatest per-
sOnal freedom consistent with public
safety"
The bigOtry which would inspire such
decree is incOnceivable; the stupidity
which would adopt the suggestion and
formulate 1t into enactment Is equally
amazing. 1t cOntravened not only the
laws and immemOrial customs Of Cuba.
but the laws and customs of the United
states, where religious marriages are
valid and sufficient, without any civil
ceremony. 1t showed a deliberate and
obstinate purpose to gOad and excite
the Cubans, and it is making enemies
for the United States throughout Span
ish America, where We ought to have
friends. The revelations of misgOvern-
ment, corruption and religious Oppres-
sion In Cuba are being carefully noted
by the Spanish-Americans, and are do
much to undo the excellent influence
of American successes In the war with
Spain. Even England has learned. Of
late years, not to meddle with the re-
ligiOus affairs Of states and races sub
tect to her rule, and President Nc
Kinley, as an admirer Of the English,
might profit by their example.-New

Our PhiIippine Policy.

On the arrival of the Philippine COM
mission at Manila, Judge Taft, on be-
half of the commission, proceeded to
announce the intentions of the admins
tratiOn as TO its future policy in deal
ing with the islands
In effect Judge Taft announced that
the administration has 10 definite
Philippine policy. except to continue
the war indefinitely. The commission
has no authority to make any material
pledges to the insurgents. In fact,
Judge Taft stated the commission
would have nothing to do with those
FflipinOs in arms
Nor would the Filipinos be justified
i'll relying upon the commission should
1t make them pledges as to their fu-
ture government. Any pledges made
would need the sanction of the Presi-
dent and the possible concurrence of
Congress.
Gen. Miles pledged the people Of
Porto Rico that they would be given
the same rights and privileges as held
by our territories under the cOnstitu-
tiOn, but Mr.. Mckinley and the Repub-
lican majority in Congress brushed the
pledges aside at the dictation Of the
sugar and tobacco trusts. Pledges and
plain duty" counted for naught.
As far as the Filipinos are con-
cerned the administration has nothing
definite to offer them. They are in
yited to surrender, with the under
standing that they will get what 1t
may please the administration to
grant them. They may be ruled by a
military dictator, or by carpetbaggers,
or the Government may be turned over
to a syndicate. And yet there are
some people who are unable to under
stand why the FilipinOs decline to lay
down their arms and accept that in
definite measure Of liberty that Mr..
Mckinley has in store for them.-Mil-
