THE OMAHA DAILY BEE 1902. FILIPINOS A LEISURELY LOT the Islands Net Easily Moved to Hustle, Inhabitants KNOW HOW TO WAIT IF NOT TO LABOR Trouble About e Friars Not Likely to and Efforts Work Likely to Fail Sertous to Teach Natives to BACOLOD, Island of Negros, April 22.— To the Editor of The Bee: Father Mau- riclo has returned to his parish, where he kad served as spiritual adviser of the peo- ple for twenty-six years previous to the revolution of the inhabltants of Negros Kga Spain. At the time of the uprising Father Mauriclo, in common with all but one of the friars, either fled from or were forcibly expelled from the island, taking refuge in thelr convents in the city of Manila. Father Mauriclo's return to his old parish was attended with considerable ex- citement, owing to the opposition mani- fested by certain of the people against the reappearance of the Recolote friars, who, in the daye of Spanish domination, consti- tuted the Spanish clergy of the island. The opposition to the religlous orders ap- pears to be intemse among the natives, with the exception of those of Spanieh blood, but, as with everything else in this country, 1t is dificult to tell with any de- gree of accuracy the real strength of the anti-friar sentiment Father Maurlcio appears to be a genial old gentleman. 1 presume the opposition manifested to his reappearance is based on political and religlous rather than personal grounds. The excitement attending his coming to Bacolod is simply one instance of the contention that may be expected all over the archipelago as the friars attempt to return to thelr churches and convents, claimed by the native padres as rightfully their own as representatives of the Fill- pino people. In a rough statement of the situation the conflict may be said to be between the friare and Spaniards and natives of Spanish blood on the one hand and the padres and Filipinos on the other. Removal of Tariff Woun Help. T suppose the most effectual measure to greate content in this island at the pres- ent time would be to put it on a trade level with the United States by removing the tariff on sugar. The planters are suf- fering from financial depression, money 1s very scarce and sugar very cheap. The planters have labored under a good deal of discouragement, besides being greatly dis- appolnted In the outcome of the sugar erop. During the summer prospects were unusually favorable. Everything favored the growth of the came, which promised to be and was one of the largest per hectare ever raised in the island. Owling, however, to the dearth of cariboo, which were swept off by hundreds by a disease which broke out among them sev- eral months before the harvest, much dif- flculty was experienced in harvesting the cane, a good deal being left in the fields to decay. Shortly after the commencement of cane cutting long continued rains set in, which not only delayed the work of making the sugar, but depreciated its qual- ity, and to complete the woes of the sugar producer came the last misfortune, a great fall in the price of sugar in the Hong Kong market It has been sald that the removal of the tariff on Filipino sugar would raise the price from 4 to 7 cents a pound. I am not sufficiently acquainted with the condi- tions to know whether this statement be correct or not and do not know how the admission free of the product of Negros would affect our beet sugar industry in Nebraska. The effect on this island, how- ever, would be to create a financlal revo- lution, doubling the price of lands and clearing the haciendas from their heavy in- debtedness. I think that the attention of capital once directed to the sugar lands of the Philippines they are likely to in- definitely advance in value, as they are said to be equal to those of Hawali, at least 1 was so informed by a gentleman from Honolulu, referring to the lands of this tsland, who at the time was traveling over the archipelago as a government expert to lect the site for an experimental farm. Tenchers Have Hard Time. The teachers’ institute is in session, or mormal school, as they call it, wherein the native is instructed by the American teacher. Last week the white gave a baiio in honor of the brown teachers and this week, 1 understand, the brown teachers re- clprocate. The attendance at the institute is very good, larger than was anticipated. The proceeding, being entirely new to the Fllipinos, it was a matter of conjecture as to how they would respond. The Fill- pino teacher's path is strewn with briare rather than roses. They are very poorly pald and the meager stipend they receive ls grudgingly given. The school fund of the municipality is devoted to everything elee first and then, if any be left, to the payment of the teachers. The assessors of the different municipalities place as low a valuation on the property of their re- spective districts as possible, which pro- ocedure is not, I believe, entirely unkmown to the assessors in the United States. Not snly are the Flilpino teachers poorly paid and pay uncertain, but the contrast be- tween their emoluments and that of the —_— ‘4 wrote (o Dr. Pierce for his advice.” “The !ady, from whose letter we quote, got what she wrote for, and is & well woman today as a result of following Dr. Pierce’s advice and using Dr. Pierce Favorite Prescription, the medicine which makes weak women strong and ick women well. “Favorite Prescri) tion ” establishes regularity, dries weak- ening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration cures female weakness.

The teachers in this province are not en- thusiastic over the future outlook. The at- tendance is discouragingly Irregular, and, while there are occasionally bright and in- terested puplls, the general interest and advancement are not what might be hoped Considering the dense ignorance and pov- erty of the mass of the population any eensible change in their condition for the better must necessarily be a work of con- siderable time The United States has done much to d- | velop the islands, perhaps more has beeg | done since the American occupation in the way of development of the country and its inhabitants, than during the three cen- turies of occupation by a European power. The government has established school built school houses and sent over an army of school teachers to occupy them and if possible raise the people to a level with the citizens of the most enlightened states of the civilized world. The material as well as the moral welfare of the people has been looked after. Harbors improved roads established; rallways projected; tela- graph lines laid and rivers made navigable, mark the bomeficlent sway of the United States government in the Philippines and glve unmistakable evidence of a sincers desire to permanently benefit the country and its inhabitants. Land of Manana. The United States is in haste to de- velop the country. The Filipino s indiffer- ent whether the country is developed or not. To promise an individual better food, better clothes and better lodging, with work, is but little Inducement to that in- dividual, when he is satisfied with rice and fish to eat, with bananas for dessert and cares only for a nipa roof to shelter himself and family, and secures this with as little work as possible. He is content with the country as it s, and prefers that woods, streams, harbors and roads remain as they are, rather than they should be improved by means of his labor. The people at home should not run the risk of disappointment by expecting any speedy radical change in the industrial, moral, socfal or political situation in this country. One must make haste slowly in the Orient. It is difficult to hurry the oriental and the Fillpino is no exception to the general rule. In dealing with the na- tives of this country we must “learn to labor and to walt;" the last lesson the Fili- pino has learned to perfection, whether he will ever learn the first is a matter of serl- ous doubt. The American In the Philippines, espe- clally the mewcomer, is inclined to fret, everything moves slowly; the business man is slow, the house servants move slowly, and the laborers are slowest of all. The American overseer frets over the mortal slowness of the “hombres” working on the streets and public works of the city of Manlla. The American housekeeper frets herself almost into a fever over the dila- tory movements of her servants, the Amer- fcan judge and lawyer fret over the slow- ness of court procedure, the man from the United States frets because of the delay in closing up a business transaction, and wears himself out in trying to hurry the east. It is not good for the Christian's health.

Condition of the Miners | Charles B. Spabr, of the ed the New York Outlook, pubilshes in that magazine the result of an Investigation conducted by him into the condition of the miners in the anthracite ficld who are on & strike for more wages and ehorter hours. Mr. Spabr's attitude is one of sympathy for the strikers and he criticises the operators severely for refusing itration. Following are excerpts from the article “The Clvie Federation's committee was not ready to pass upon any of the que tions submitted. It was, however, con- vinced of the righteousness of Mr. Mitchell's demand that the employing rail- roads should be willing to submit these questions to arbitration. ‘It was not & question of arbitration by our board; we recommended arbitration in which one party select one arbitrator, the other party ancther and these two select a third, but the rallroad companies flatly rejected it. .

If they were speaking about their treatment, thelr wages were too small for them to live upon; if they wére talking about their ability to hold out for a six months' strike, they were all surprisingly affuent. When I reached Oliphant, which is the center of the union in the northern district, T was particularly struck with the men's statements as to their ability to hold out. The unmarried Hungurians and Poles, I was told, had nearly all money saved ahead, and many of this slement had al- ready set out for New York, Philadelphia and other cities to get work as unskilled laborers while the strike lasted. The men who remained near the mines were some of them able to get odd jobs upon neighboring farms, and eometimes upon farms belong- g to members of their own family. The amount of work which the mea could secure in summer, and the great reduction in living expenses which the season brought, made the summer much the best time for a strike “When the men were talking about the greater cost of living in the winter, they emphasized the cost of coal, and I was not entirely displeased to find that, in common with other consumers, they had felt the advance which followed the last strike.
