Witnesses to Truth.

eff YOU would have witnesses. and feel
that the officials who have represented the
government in the islands are prejudiced,
or that the American business men who
are interested in the Philippine trade have
selfish motives for maintaining the pres
ent status, call upon those who are now
in the islands working for the benefit of
the people. looking after their spiritual
welfare and seeking their better and
higher education. Ask the missionaries
of the churches: summon those who are
giving up their life to help in the tropics
in teaching religion and virtue to the
1.G0O.OOO of people of the archipelago, and
you will receive response that has no
sectarian note in it. You will find that
whether they be Protestants or CathO-
lies. Episcopalians. Presbyterians Meth
Odists or Baptists the one universal eX-
preston of all who have had that init
mate experience with the people of the
islands that missionaries mus have is
that the Filipino people are not yet ready
for self-gOvernment. that the present gov
! eminent of the islands is doing all that
could possibly be done to help them along
the road toward self-government, and
that there could be no influence more de.
structive and more discouraging to the
march of Christian progress among the
people whose guardianship Providence
has thrust upon us than the enactment of
the measure which is now pending in the
House of Representatives for a change in
the Philippine government"

Motive in Philippines.

Nothing in the course taken in the
islands has been dictated by other than a
wish to promote the happiness of the
Philippine people 1t is true that for
nearly decade we denied to them the
benefit of our markets. That was not
because de did not wish well to the
Philippines. but il was because a part
of our people thought that ii would mean
an increased sacrifice by the people of
the United States for the benefit of the
Philippine people. Finally justice in this
regard was done and we have seen the
growth of trade between the United
States and the Philippines, and the
growth of the trade in the Philippines at
large to justify in the strongest way the
granting of free trade between the two
countries.
THE average annual imports into the
Philippine Islands from all countries
from 1870 tn 1884 was S16.OOnWO. and in
the same time the imports from the

Philadelphia.-The series of lavish
entertainments planled by Mrs Ed
ward T. Stotesbury, wife of a partner
o. J. Pierpont Morgan. may be brought
suddenly 10 a close by reason of the
rany threats which have been made
upon the lives of the widely known
banker and his wife unless they cease
spending small fortunes on their mag
nifcent dances and dinners.
Mrs. Stotesbury. who is socially
very ambitious, not long ago conceiv-
de the idea Of giving a series of enter
tainments that would eclipse anything
ever before attempted in Philadel-
phia. She has given two of them. AT
ter the first, reports were published
In this city and elsewhere to the effect
that the Stotesburys had spent a half
million dollars for the elaborate fuuc-
tion which was given at the Bellevue
Stratford. Similar reports were spread
after the second entertainment, which
was given at the Ritz-Carlton.

In France the law of April 1, 1898,
conferred charters on mutual benefit
societies, and the recent law concern
ing pensions to artisans and peasants
has opened for them new field of
action. After careful consideration of
the system and working of this law,
the international institute of agricul-
ture devoted in its bulletin of eco
nCmic and social intelligence spe-
cial article to a description of the de-
velopment and organization of mutual
benefit societies.
No social institutions in France
seem TO have obtained. such favor as
mutual association, whether those af-
fuTding help in case of illness, injur-
les or infirmity, those for granting
pensions or those for making allow
ances in case of death. OF these sOci-
cites, at present comprising 3,650,O0O
members, 81 per cent are for insur-
arce against illness and for pensions,
10 per cent for pensions alone, and
/ II per cent for allowance to heirs after
a death or assistance in case of in
capacitation for work. These various
/ branches are in receipt yearly of
about $19,40O,00O. In the article in
question each of these branches is
considered in detail For instance,
the society for help in illness is stud
led under two forms, the one, grant
ing gratuities for payment of medical
attendance and medicine; the other,
daily allowance to compensate IN
part for the loss sustained by the
workman and his family through mis-
enforced abstention from work
through illness.
Considering the increasing exigen
cies of the medical profession, the
daily indemnity seems the more ra
tional and the less liable to abuse. II
gives a stronger feeling of responsible
ity to the recipient, as it is his inter
es, to abstain from calling in the doc
ter or apothecary unless when really
needful Though the allowance is pri
marily for the benefit of the sick, the
family also benefits by it when the
daily earnings of it's head are sus
pended.
Old age pensions are made unde1
three different systems. They may b.
made from the common inalienabl'
fund, from individual deposits or from
any other available source. Under thu
first system the sums appropriated b.
the society for pensions are paid int
the Deposit & Consignment bank anC
form what is called the common inal
ieIable fund, from which no membe
can ever draw the money he has pait
| into it, for it is the common propert.
= OF all members, past, present and fu
ture. Under the second system tn
society demands from its members

ticnal Savings bank for old age per

French Insurance Laws

sions. each member having his own
pension book in which all his deposits
are duly entered. Under the third sys-
ten the annual ALLEGATIONS are only
made from available sources In con-
sequence they vary very much and in
some years completely fail.
Whichever be the system employed.
the pensions are always small. They
vary from $14 to $31, and the govern
ment is frequently compelled to make
special grants TO these societies, &C
cording to the law respecting artisan
and peasant pensions. Very often the
societies undertake the collection of
the contributions and are even some
times allowed to provide the pensions
contemplated by the law, and they are
practically the best auXiliaries of the
legislature.
The Bulletin of Economic and Social
Intelligence has still under considera-
tor the subject of insurance in case
OF death by which many of the soci-
cites grant to the heirs of their de-
ceased members a sum not exceeding
5000. The greater number, however,
give no more than the amount of the
/ funeral expenses.
| The OTphelinat Mutualiste Francast
| provides for the education of orphans
up to 16 years of age, allowing SO a
month for a child orphaned of it's
mother, "a month for child orphan
ed of it's father, and takes entire
/ charge of a child orphaned of both
| parents.
The maternity societies provide for
! cessation from work for women DUR
irg the month following accouche-
ment by giving a sufficient weekly sub
! sidy. The influence of these institu-
lions on the population has been such
that in the little village of Dammarie-
Lys (Sefae -et-Marne) since 1894 in
FAINT mortality has decreased by one
half, while the number of births has
increased by "a per cent. It seems
that in the country districts the peo-
pie prefer to include insurance against
maternity risks in that of the whole
family against illness, the family be-
ing represented by its head, who pays
contribution in proportion to the
number that he insures. "A family is
social unity and We rejoice in this
recent evolution of French mutually"
says the report.
