purposes of an independent Catholic
Church.
The present controversy grows out of
the fact that the independent Catholics are
claiming the church properties on the
ground that they were bought or built
with funds contributed by the people, and
therefore belong to them. The dispute is
between the priests of the new church and
those who have been appointed by the au-
thorities recognized at Rome. The courts
cannot take jurisdiction of the question
Of establishing new church. but the ques-
ton of title to property is one for them
to decide. The incident will demonstrate
to both parties the fundamental difference
between American and Spanish methods in
dealing with church interests. The Span
ish practice was to decide everything OFF,
hand in favor of the established church.
and enforce the decision irrespective of
personal or popular rights, while the
American method is to remit the matter
to the courts, where the people and the
church are on an equality

THE CHURCH WAR IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

A dispatch from Manila says that Solicit
cial. in written opinion, sustains Gov
ernor Tafts contention that he is not in a
position to intervene regarding the posses
sion of Roman Catholic property seized by
independent Catholics and that the courts
must settle the question. The dispute has

civil authorities will be fortunate If a set
Element is reached through the courts. AS
the dispute relates to property interests
the proper place to settle it is in the courts,
and Governor Taft showed good sense as
we'll as good politics in refusing to inter-
fere in church fractional fight.
The controversy has it's origin in popular
hatred of the Spanish friars and growing
spirit of opposition to church government
from Rome. The leader of the movement
is one Aglipay, an communicated Catho-
lie priest. who served with the insurgents
while the instruction lasted, but who is
now an enthusiastic supporter of Amer
lean rule. He was communicated be-
cause of his advocacy of an independent
native Catholic Church. In fact, he had
seeded from the regular Catholic Church
before he was communicated and had
been accepted by the rebellious faction as
native archbishop at the head of a ma
tive church. A short time ago he ISSUED

He Will Introduce Three or Four Bills
I'm the Legislature.

Representative +. L. Mummert, of
Goshen, will introduce three or four bills
this session that will come I'm for no small
share of attention. In the first place he
will seek to amend the law regulating the
terms of municipal officers so that men,
bers of city councils will be elected for
terms of four years, instead of two He
says that there is a great demand i'm his
part of the State for this change.
Mr.. Mummert will also offer bill pro-
viding that all corporate franchises shall
be taxed, one amending the law fixing the
minimum daily wage of school teachers at
two and one-half times the average they
make in their examinations, so that the
minimum wage may be from one and half
to two and a half times the average, one
providing for revision of the Indiana
statutes by commission to be named by
the Governor, and a resolution for an
amendment 60 the Constitution by which
the qualifications of practicing attorneys
may be made more rigid.
In regard to the question of revising the
statutes Representative Mummert said last
night that he believed bill to that end
would be adopted. 1.-The statutes have not
been revised for twenty-five years." he
said. land all attorneys will agree that a
revision is needed"
The last revision was made i'm 1881 at a
cost of some $4,000 to the State.
