1t will be seen from what has been
I written that British Civilization" is
inimical to the welfare of subdued
races. The missionary goes first among
them with the Bible; then the grog-
| seller follows with his rum; concur
rently with the latter's operations, the
land shark sets to work, and the spoil
alton that is not accomplished by trick
cry and unfair compensation is COM
pleted by confiscation. That has been,
in short, the history of the spolltion
of the Maoris
1t has been Englands boast that she
has, above all other nations, taken an
active part in the suppression of slav-
cry. The history of Africa itself, and
the things that are happening there to-
day, prove conclusively that England
! does not practice what she breaches.
Everybody knows that slavery is al
lowed to go on and upheld in South
Africa, in order that greedy and grasp
ing capitalists may employ cheap col
ored labor, and the most horrible thing
of all is THAT floggng is practiced, so
that the greatest possible amount of
work may be got out Of these unfor-
tunate creatures.
1t is time that this can't and hypoc.
| risy of freedom under the British flag
and solicitude for the welfare of col
ored races was appreciated mt it's true
| value. British civilization" is not
quite the blessing to humanity that
some people try to make out.

The Catholic Filipinos.

A writer in the Carmelite Review,
John s. Ormsby, gives his Impressions
of the Philippines, and from him we
quote as follows, promising that Mr..
Ormsby has been nearly two years and
half on the Island of Luzon, the larg-
est in the Archipelago:
'"There are numerous large and beau
tiful churches throughout the islands.
All the natives are Catholics, and good
ones at that. On feast days they flock
to the place of worship in thousands,
and have known Of several thousands
Is1f people tramping over the mountains
for the purpose of attending the Christ
mas ceremonies at q large church many
miles from their humble homes. The
ceremonies are conducted on Il sDlen-
did scale The choirs are made up of
male singers, and their musical accom-
plislmcnts are fully up to the standard
of our own people. The Filipino padre,
or priest, is honored and beloved by his
many people, and they work in har-
mony. The pioneers Of the Catholic
faith in the Philippines were the Au-
gustinians. They were closely followed
by the Domincans, Religious Dcvotccs,
Jcsuits and Capuchins.
'The Jesuits did not, / believe, go
far into the interior, but contented
themselves by establishing large uni
versity, today without peer, in Ma
Mia, where host of natives received a
brilliant education, fully fitting them
for the society of any nation OH earth.
In addition to this it may be said that
many erroneous statements have been
made to the effect that Filipinos are
semi-savages. 1t may be here asserted
without fear Of contradiction from re-
liable sources, that before the city Of
Chicago was founded, Manila was the
seat Of colleges, observatories and tech
nical schools, and the assertion is up
held by the Hon. John Barrett, a for
mer United States minister to Siam.
1t may further be stated that before
the Pilgrim Fathers set feet on Plym-
outh Rock, pious padres carried the
true Gospel to the heart Of the tropical
jungles."

The Coronation Gath.

Writing to the London Catholic,
Times Rev. Sydney Smith says: "Pcrsl
haps you may think well to insert this
short note on the so-called coronation
oath, which some of your correspon-
dents seem to need. / see some of
them assume that the King will have
to take 1t again as a part of the cOr0-
nation ceremony, and they even sug-
gest that Catholics should abstain in
consequence from any celebration Of
that event. But happily the present
King will never have to take again the
oath which, if report speaks truly, he
took once not without the utmost rcluc-
tance and after being assured that, as
there was no constitutional means of
altering it until he, the new sovereign,
was duly constituted by taking it, the
alternative was between his taking it
and allowing the whole machinery Of
government to break down. 1t is the
name coronation oath which misleads,
Dut the words OF the act IL William
and Mary, Sess. 2, C. p are that the
declaration shall be made by the King
on the first day Of meeting of his first
Parliament sitting on his throne in the
House of Peers, in the presence of the
Lords and Commons or else at corona
ton, whichever should first happen
See Father Bridgett's tract on the
English Coronation Oath,' published
by the Catholic Truth Society. There
will, indeed, be an oath taken at the
coronation ceremony, but it will be Of
a different character, and, though bind
ing the King to maintain the Protest
ant reformed religion established by
law has no reference to any other re-
ligion. Except, therefore, that death

is at all times n possibility, there is
not quite the urgency for changing the
present abominable accession oath
or rather declaration, for it is not an
oath, at least not promissory oath-
which some of your correspondents
imagine, and It may be that it is tol-
erable to leave the change till the coro-
nation is over. What does seem desir-
able, and will no doubt be done, is that
Catholic representatives from the col
onies. when they come over to the coro-
nation, should Use the opportunity to
press their remonstrances with the ut
most vigor OH all concerned in the gov
ernment of the country, and that we
Catholics here at home should not nl-
low the subject to drop. We shall be
sure to win sooner or later, for our
case is so clear and is felt to be such
by nOn-C Catholics as much us ourselves
by all, in fact, except the batch Of
utterly unreasoning Protestant Alli-
ance bigots."

hundred years Of British occupation!
Only think of it! not single native to

mania, or Van Diemen's Land, as it
used to be called before the undesir-

menclature.
In New Zealand the process Of exter-
mination was not quite SO easy mat
ter. There the British encountered a
vastly superior race to the black fel-
low of Australia and Van Diemen's
Land. The Aaoris were strong
healthy and warlil1e people. Splendid
specimens of humanity from the phys
ical standpoint, and intelligent and in
tellectual to degree which is rarely
met with i'll savage races, the Maors
Showed fight" the moment it was
demonstrated to them that white men
had come amongst them to take pos
session Of their land. A succession of
Maori wars was the consequence from
Hone Heke's outbreak of 1916 until
the conquest and confiscation of cnor-
nous areas nearly thirty years after
ward on the West Coast 1t cost Great
Britain and the colony many millions
sterling and the loss of thousands of
valuable lives before peace was estab-
lished in the country. Overpowering
numbers compelled the Maoris to give
up the strife. The Virginian tactics
were repeated, and both by the British
and subsequently by the colonial gov
ernment, Maoris were made to fight
against each other-the patriots being
called "rebels" and the unpatriotic
"friendlies." But until this day the
Maoris cannot be described as a cam
quered race. They succeeded in re-
tanning portions of their possessions.
True it is, that when the British first
went amongst them the Maori race
We're in possession of the whole coun-
try. SiXty-six millions of acres were
their heritage, but in about three-quar-
tiers of century, by confiscation,
fraud, inducements to sell for ridicu-
lously small prices, and trickery, that
great estate has dwindled down to less
than five million acres-a small residue
out Of siXty-six millions. What, then,
about the race itself? Thickly popu-
lated as New Zealand was when Capt
Cook first visited that country in 1863,
and later on still when the mission
aries first established themselves per-
manently there in 1914, the native pop
ulation Counting men, women and
children and half castes) has dwindled
down to about $4,000. They have had
transmitted to them all the vices of So
called civilization" without COM
pensating share Of virtues; the most
loathsome diseases have been intro
duced amongst them, and what was
originally magnificent race has been
demoralized in every possible way.
Drink is playing sad havoc amongst
them, and if they continue to decrease
at the rate they are doing, one can
form a pretty correct notion Of the
period that is required for their ex-
tinction. A futile attempt has been
made, in order to make a show of 30
licitude for their welfare, that the
Maori race has really increased during
the last few years, but the statement is
based upon data which have no foun-
