AFTER THE HOUNDS ON FOOT.

Fox hunting in England is almost idolized
among the nobility and among nearly all the
skilful riders who have means enough TO buy or
10 hire good hunters. For the purposes of sport
foxes are preserved with as much care as
pheasants and John Bull becomes furious at
the mere thought that any rbald sceptic should
grid at this imposing feature of English life
as the bold Briton is in the habit of doing and
the frenzied pursuit of the aniseseed bag over
the easy plains of Long Island fills humor loving
spectators with laughter
In one of the New-Jersey, counties however a
variation has been added TO the meets" which
is funnier than anything ever seen when either
the Meadow Brook the Hampstead pack gives
cry upon the spicy scent of the aniseseed sack
That is the practice of cautious members of
the hunt club to refrain from the perils OF the
saddle but to follow the chase afar off on foot
scrambling over rail fences. brooks and stone
walls best they may. That certainly seems
to be the final reduction to the absurd of so
called fox hunting, but it is much safer form
of recreation than the reckless forcing of hunt
ers at leaps which may disable or fatally injure
both horses and riders. Yet ii cannot be looked
upon as a fascinating kind of diversion for
spirits truly adventurous.
Some OF the newspapers say that New-Jersey
statesmen of National renown have Joined the
ranks of the infantry followers of the trail, but
those reports are probably not meant to be
taken seriously.

THE FRTARS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Judge Tafts discussion of the status of the
friars in the Philippines is well described by our
Washington correspondent as perhaps the most
important chapter Of the Commissions report
Beyond doubt the question Of the disposition Of
the religious orders is one of the most momen-
tous which this Government has TO deal with in
those islands. for indication of which we have
merely TO recall the fact of record that the Fill
pinO revolts of 1896 and 1898 were not against
Spain so much as against the friars, and had
the expulsion of the latter their prime OBJ
jeet. There is no reason to suppose that the
feeling of the natives toward the friars is less
hostile now thaa it was then, or that the ma
tives can realize Offhand how different the
status of the friars must be under American
rule from what il was under Spanish rule. The
natives are remOrselessy bent on being rid Of
the friars. That is the salient feature Of the
case. In dealing with il certain fundamental
principles and facts are to be borne in mind
First as 10 the United States, that there must
be absolute separation of Church and State
and absolute freedom Of conscience and of wor-
ship Second, as TO the Filpinos, that they are
chiefly devout Roman Catholics; that they have
been accustomed 10 a union Of Church and State
which they now wish dissolved, and that the
friars represent 10 them nearly all the odious
features of the Spanish regime against which
they reyoted and from which they looked for
relief in American rule.
The policy OF the United States guided by
these principles and facts. cannot, of course in
volve any campaign against the Roman Catholic
Church as Church. II can involve the relief
Of whatever actual grievances, social or politi-
cal, the people may suffer and the suppression
of cOnspirscies or other seditious movements
against the authority of the United States
There may be no thought of proceeding 10 any
such extreme measures as the Falk laws of
Germany or. those now proposed in France
But the divorcemenr of civil from ecclesiastical
authority must be made absolute, and must be
made perceptible 10 and appreciable by the peo-
pie OF the islands, and IL any ecclesiasticaI
establishments are ct variance with that prin-
ciple, or initiate against the liberty and loyalty
of the people, a readjustment Of their status
should be found which would abate the evil
while dealing justly with both sides. Such
work may be undertaken with more confidence
since, as we have said, there is no sectarian
discrimination in IT, The Filipinos do not want
which they are sincerely attached. But they
do want its ministrations to be conducted by
priests OF theii own race and blood, who VIII
be priests and no more and not by allen friars
who aim at political and industrial control. In
other words, they want the Church In their ISL
ands 10 be on q basis similar 10 that which II
enjoys IN the United States. II would conduce

required The return Of Miss Ellsler gives the
local public a welcome glimpse Of good actress.
