THE FRIARs AG AIN.

The question of what to do with the
friars of the Philippines is beginning to
attract the attention and interest of the
religious denominations. Until the
Philippine commission tentatively sug-
gested that 1t might be good plan for
Congress to appropriate SEQ, 900. 0l0 to buy
out the friars the question was entirely
dormant. People familiar with the
philippines knew that it existed, that Ii
was a serious one and that II l. ever got
loose it would run over the land some
thing ike a prairie fire. The commission
let it loose. Their suggestion
aroused the Protestant bodies
in this eountry-espeoiaIly the
Baptists and Metnodists, two of the
most numerous and best organic ed Of
these bodies in the country. Reprssen-
tatives OF both have just met At Philsdel-
phia and expressed their views in regard
to the friars ana the treatment that
should be accorded them, in no uncertain
language, The Methodists were consid-
erably more specific than the RapEists,
demanding that the friars be banished
from the island and that the Faribault

1t seems to be pretty clear that some
missionaries have heen psrambulating
about certain districts OF China and
blackmailing ths villagers into paying
large sums on account OF missionaries
said to have been killed in their villages.
These missionaries defend themselves
by appealing to a Chinese law which
holds the people Of villages where mur-
der is committed responsible 10 damages.
There is some doubt whether the opera
tors have been Protestant or Catholic
missionaries. We should say that
such transactions, whether technical
ly defensibIe under Chinese laws or not
were not likely to help the cause OF mis-
sions in China. A large part OF the peo-
pie from whom the fines are collscted
are entirely Innocent of any connection
with murders and no more responsib BILE
morally for them than the missionaries
themselves. For the propagators OF a
religion whose foundation stones are
justice and mercy, 60 90 among these
people and with threats compel them
to yield up of their earnings, slway s
so scanty that they hardly serve to keep
starvation at bay, is not calculated to
convince the people that our religion is
superior to theirs. The doctrine of re-
taliAtion-an eye roI an eye and a tooth
for tooth-was repudiated by the founder
of Christianity whom the miasionariss
are supposed to pattern after.
