THE" BOW WORK ABOUT DONE. W SkMM Now Send Missionaries. Why the Rliptaoe Distrust 1k Aaserlcsas. New York, Dec. 17 The Independ ent for the current week, will contain an article by Jacob O. 8ehurman, president of Cornell University, chair man of the United States Commission to thevPhlUppines, entitled "Our Duty to tbe Phtrrpploes." Following is an abstract: ' "We hare fort to fifty tribes to civ ilise and seven or eight of these tribes have some 300,000 members each. On the island of La son there is one tribe of a million and' a half people who speakone language as totally distinct from the other languages as Spanish is from English. Another tribe on tbe same island numbering about 6C0.000, is as distinct from the others in lan guage and characteristics as they are from the Spaniards themselves. Then on the great Island of Mindanoa there are many tribes that are entirely dif ferent from each other. In tbe Sulu archipelago we come to another class of natives, about whose custom of slavery so much has been said recent ly. Tbee are all Mohammedans, while In Lizoo the natives are all Catholic christians. "The priests have ruled in Luzon so long that their influence is widespread and the natives know pt no other forms of Christianity. The Soman Catholic oburch has been established there for three hundred years, and the archipel ago was really governed by tbe priests, and not by the 8panish civil or mili tary commanders. Of the 113,600,000 raised on tbe island annually about 1 00000 was used for the churches' support. Each small church would re ceive about 1500 for its support and the p-lest an allowance of $300. We must credit tbe church with having done a great deal of good work among the natives. We must reckon with those'facts when we send missionaries to the Philippine!- MISSpifABfES NOW NEED EI. "Missionaries are needed in the isl ands, and hope they will be sent there In large numbers. There Is plenty pf work for them to do, and hope they will go, with a complete understanding. of the situation, to accomplish goT They most realise that they are. con tending with a Catholic educated pop ulation that knows nothing about tbe fine 'differences between Protestant sects ind denominations. Therefore, it would be highly impolite to send mis sionaries of different beliefs to confuse tbe minds of the people. I do hope that when we send missionaries we will de cide before hand on one form of Prot estant Christianity. Send only one type of missionary. The Filipinos will then "have Catholic Christianity and Protestant Christianity presented to them so they can make their choice. We have no adequate idea how con fusing to the simple minds of an unciv ilised people tbe different forms of our Protestant faith appear. The Chinese who are perhaps more intelligent than the Filipinos regard our different de? nominations as so mnv different re ligions. I think the island of Mindanoa is a moVe promising field for missionaries to begin their work in than Luzon. The influenos of the Catholic church has not been extended to Mindanoa, and the simple natives would more readily accept the type of faith which the Americans would teach them. It is possible that it would be dangerous to send missionaries to the interior of this island at present, but as condi tions become more s ttled and tbe Americans are looked qpon with a more friendly feeling, this place wlU be rich field tor the Amarlpan jni sjonajy. We owe it o the Filipinos to give them (be best in our religion 1 well as in our education. WHY THEY DISTRUST US. "I believe the fighting in the Philip pines is nearly over and our armies now fighting in northern Luzon will soon be required only to kee.p gown the bandits. The organized armv has disappeared nd with it we might say the whole insurrection. Most of the Wders of the insurrection have been won over to our side. "I do not say that all of the insur gent leadert were dishonest. 4 oe- tlejve that many of those wbQ fought against the Afflericaqs were, animated by the highest idea of loyalty to lnde pendence- I think probably A.ginl do is one of this olsss and that be i an honest man.. "One reason for the stubborn oppo sition to our occupation of the islands was a legacy of suspicion and hatred for the white man which Spain be queathed to us. The Philiplnos know the white race only by one specimen Spain to ttem represents the whole world of Europeans tbe whole white race and her authorities made prom ises repeatedly to them and broke them. They will not today trust Americans or Spaniards or any other Europeans. Nor is it strange that .they distrust the promises of the Amer icans. This distrust of tbe white race I is one of the problems that will ouire vears of labor to overcome. w You cannot overcome it with words It must be dissipated by actual works they must have ocular demonstration that the word of the Americans can be relied upon. Not until then will they begin to believe ns. Consequently CONCLUDED ON THIRD FAGS, J NOTES FROM HIQIf POINT Ths Local News Prom Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau, ) High Point, n. C.

TWQ ITEMS Showing a Karroo m Town Against a Dispensary Tows, "It is the universal comment that there as never witnessed in Char lotte such debauchery as character ised Cnrlstmas day and it was a spec- cial grief to observe that this extended so far into tbe ranks of tbe ranks of tbe .young boys of tbe community. Numbers of them, not more than half way through their teens, exhlted them selves openly in various stages of in toxication, and for this came, if no other, Christmas day, 1899, will long remain a painful a memory." Char lotte Observer. Tbe Telegram has already copied the above editorial, but the Monroe Journal prints it and adds the follow- ng In brackets. It fits so well that we reproduce It : f We do pot print hU item from, any desire to further the Lews of the bad conduct of Charlotte, hut rather to call attention to tbe excellent behavior that eqisted in Monroe at the same time.

BOERS INTRENCHED. London, Dec. 29 A Cape corre spondent says the rising of the Tugela should enable General Buller to catcb most of the Boers south of Colens within the next few days. It is inferred in Natal that th de struction of the" bri lge has trade s real differen e in the safety of th. Boer positions and that the rough crossing wh'ch they es ablished fur ther north in the direction of Pit-ter Station does not make up for this dis advantage.

It is pointed out that farmers, mostly the landowners, will not risk their farms by rising. A despatch from Lorenzo Marquez the 23rd, says there is a curious story current there that Matt SteytL, brother ot the president of tbe Free State, and fight hundred Free Staters definitely refused to continue in the war. Matt Steyn, acting spokesman, told the president he wss only authorised to Intervene in the Interest of peace and that the burghers didn't feel bound by his "unwarrantable conduct," espec ially as they ran the risk of the con fiscatioq of their property and they simply desired to be permitted to re turn in peace and p'oposed to Imme diately return to their farms.
