PLEA FOR MILITARY RULE.
EIkhnrt Missionary Writes of Condi-
lions in the Philippines.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
ELKHART, Ind, March IA letter has
been received here from the Rev. E. S.
Ely formerly of this city. but now con-
nected with the United Brethren mission in
Manila. He wrote under date OF Feb 4,
and. after devoting some attention to the
progress of his mission work and the pc
culiarities of the Filipino character. he
says
II think our government has taken the
very wisest plan in introducing civil gov
eminent. Although It has been complete
failure it has proven to every American
here and many loyal Filipinos in Manila,
or at least those that appear TO be loyal,
that the present generation of Fflipinos
will not be able 10 carry out successfully
civil government. / Travelled over the prov
inces under military and under civil gov
eminent, and was at a number OF places
where Governor Taft had established the
former. European business men had to
leave provinces where civil government ex-
listed for they had no protection. The friars
and the Catholic Church are rObbing the
people. At one place | found fifty men
working for the presidente on his own
property and not receiving a cent for it,
and furnishing their own rice. One presi-
dente of town sent out into the country
for man TO bring his cart and OK in and
take my baggage TO another town. The
presidente took the money and / investi-
gated the case and found the poor farmer
never received cent for il. | found hun
dreds of cases where the men placed in Of
flee by the civil government were robbing
the people This is not done under military
government.
Natives are fighting the public schools,
backed up by the priests. DR.. Atkinson,
superintendent of the schools here, told me
the other day that the children were being
taught American civilization in the public
schools, but were held in at the Catholic
dormtories or boys homes to keep them
under the old bonds of false teaching and
suggested that the government establish
such homes. The children here are very
bright and if they can be brought out from
under the false teachings of the traitors of
Christian civilization they will be the hope
of this country. Military government
should be the only government here for
years. and every European and American
will rejoice when it is returned

CUBA Is NOT STARVING"
At Least There Is Some Testimony to
the Contrary.

Gunton's Magazine.
Mr. Edwin r Atkins, OF Boston n q
sugar planter in Cuba TO the extent Of own
ing about 1900 acres. and is a partner OF
Mr.. HaVemeyer. Mr.. Atkins told the COM
mittee page q OF the report that 1.-The
small landed proprietor is generally unedu-
Gated and has a family around him there,
and he lives the life Of a gentleman OF
ease" OF these small landed proprietors
there are several thousand in the island.
Mr. Miguel Mendoza is a sugar planter OF
Havana On Page 66 OF the report referred
to Mr. Mendoza throws some light on the
industrial situation in the island. He start
ed out quite glibly. picturing a future con-
dition of starvation for the people II relief
were not furnished by way OF taTin con-
cession on the part OF the United States,
but under examination declared that the la
boring class i'm Cuba is all employed and
that there is plenty OF work for the work.
ingmen in Cuba to-day" Returning TO the
testimony of Mr.. Atkins, IL appears by his
admission that the price of sugar is now
more than il was before the war, the pres
ent price being nearly cents a hundred
more than IL was in 1896.
Mr.. Louis V. Place is a Cuban commits
sion merchant from Havana. who appeared
before the committee. He told the commit
tee that the employment OF labor is now
such that any increase in activity on the
sugar plantations would make an importa-
ton of labOrers necessary. and in reply 10 a
question said that the extra laborers would
be brought from Spain or the Canaries The
interesting dialogue with Mr.. Place viii be
found on Page 81 Of the report.
With labor employed up to the limit. with
the balance OF trade in her favor with
large population cassed as gentlemen OF
ease" II would appear that Cuba, without
free access to American markets. Is fl no
immediate danger OF financial collapse. In
fact, II is daily becoming more obvious that
most of the uproar over Cuba springs from
purely mercenary motive.

WAGE LAW CASE DECISION
A MAN CAN BIZ EMPLOYED FOR LESS
THAN 10 CENTS Az HOUR.
The supreme Court Aairms Lower
Court RuIinG-Cases in the
County Courts.

The Supreme Court yesterday, in affirm
ing the case Of Frank Bell vs. the town Of
Sullivan. said a town may lawfully employ
unskilled labor on public work by special
contract at less than % cents an hour not
withstanding the act OF 1893 providing that
"unskilled labor employed on any public
work OF the State. counties, cities and
towns shall receive not less than Is cents an
hour for said labor"
In the case decided Frank Bell was hired
by the town marshal of Sullivan 70 work
at cleaning and repairing the streets for
sl10 day Of ten hours He worked IA
days and received his wages without OBJ
lection. He then sued the city for an extra
4 cents an hour for the entire time. amount
ing 10 $3.50 basing his claim on the act OF
1899. The trial court decided against him
and he appealed. In affirming the decision
OF the court Judge Bowling said; Two
questions are presented. % IS the act
which purports to fix the minimum rate of
wages 70 be paid by towns for unskilled
labor on public works valid as 10 towns;
and CD IL II is. can the appellant lawfully
claim the benefit Of its provisions after
having contracted for and received a lower
rate OF wages7 The view we take of the
second question renders IL unnecessary that
We decide the first.
1T would do violence TO the words or
the act TO hold that IL probably In
tended to apply only in cases where no
special contract was made fixing the rate
of compensation OF the labor. Besides, as
there are no prohibitOry words in IL, the
act cannot be understood as taking away
from the parties the right to contract upon
such terms as may be agreed upon between
them.
And further the act being for the bene-
Mt OF the laborer. and no public interest be-
ing impressed upon the subject and no rule
OF public policy being violated, he might
waive the beneht of the statute and accept
a lower rate Of wages and such waiver and
acceptance would be binding upon him..
