The con- tentlon of the Archbishops is that it was a “plous work,” or private corporation, placed in the hands of the church for administrati The main reliance of the Filipino Medi- cal Association appears to be placed in the the royal patronage. While Fig- uerao in his will makes the Jesuits the patrons and forbids any authority ecclesi- astical or civil to interfere with them in their administration, yet when the Jesuits were suppressed this condition became in- capable of fulfillment. Now, according to ordinary church law, the Bishop of the place is entitled to enter upon lapsed trusts of this nature and to make such commutations as may best carry out the wishes of the founder in the altered cir- cumstances. This the Archbishop of Ma- nila did in 1768. He converted the college into an ecclesiastical seminary: but the | Spanish throne of 1771 annulled his action, | restored the college to the lay students and claimed the right to succeed the Jesuits as patrons. The decree was car- ried out. The Filipino Medical Assock tion claims that this action demonstrat: that the college was considered a purely civil institution and therefore now under the control of the American authorities. To understand the argument of the Archbishops it is necessary to explain the nature of the union of church and state as it existed in Spain. In the canon law of the Catholic church the fundamental idea is that the church is a supreme and independent soclety in spiritual affairs, while the s a supreme and_inde- pendent temporal affairs. Hence the church a sovereign power as the tate is a sovereign power. The church is tment of the civil government, with the civil government on precisely the same lines as one civil gov- | ernment would deal with another. The church enters into treaties with the state as Germany would enter into treaties with France or England. The Catholic church has within the present century concluded about thirty of treaties or con- cordats with different nations in different parts of the world. Of course the fact that a nation enters into such an agreement with the church implies that such nation considers the church a society capable of making such ty. Other peoples may think other- but the contracting nation admits & when it makes a concordat, and when by the terms of such a concordat certain privileges in matters of religion are grant- ed the state the state confcsses that it does not hold such privileges of its native | and natural right, but of the grace and grant of\ the church in whose jurisdiction sovereign independence of the church | Her moral influence is greater than any other like force that exists in these islands. Should you, for instance, take away the college of San Jose from the ad- ministration of the church on some legal technicality, if any existed, and I do not think any can be found, it would be the initiation of a disastrous policy. The pleasing of a few men who have sys- tematically deceived the Americanauthor- | ities, the satisfaction that would accrue | to fanatics by making “Rome howl,” as | ing is, the insult to the church of ountry, the management of a few T donars’ | ircome—these things will not justify the United States in de- church of ch she has lawfully en-| | be seen. therefore. that this case | of no ordinary interest. the free silver question, and that is no Seventy-five million bushels of wheat sold at a fair price, more hogs and cattle than ever produced before bringing rich returns, increase business men, increased out- put from mines and workshops, all lead- ing to a greater demand for labor, general State and an almost universal approval of President McKinley's course in the Philip- pine war and in the Orient, make Kansas safaly Repubiican this year.” Governor Stanley sald: n that the Republicans will carry Kansas ar by an increased majority.

It is on this title that much of the present controversy hinges. In 1767 the Jesuits were expelled from | Spanish territory.

Archbi as trustee for the church. | | Here, however, the Spanish Government | rvened, and, claiming the right of| substituted itself for the So- ty of Jesus and committed the admin- istration of the college to a member of the Metropolitan Chapter. About twenty- | five| years ago another arrangement was made by which the Unlversity of St. | Thomas undertook the management of the college, which arrangement was in | force at the time of the American occu- pation. In August of last year Major General Otis by personal letter, without hearing the representations of the college | faculty, closed the course of studles— medical and pharmaceutical—and under- took to confiscate the college and turn it over to a private soclety known as the Philippine Medical Association. Against this action Archbishop Nozaleda protested before the lately appointed United States Civil Commission, and his protest {s backed by an exhaustive statement from Archbishop Chapelle, the Papal delegate. The whole question turns on the nature of the right the Spanish Government had in the college. e United States suc- ceeds Spain In the {slands, but it succeeds with a difference. In Spanish times theres was a union of church and state; under American rule such a union is unlawtul. The United States succeeds Spain only in Spain’s civil rights; it does not succeed Spain in Spain’s ecclesiastical rights. The question. therefore, to be solved is this: Are Spain’s hts in the College of San Jose—and incidentally in other property of the same nature—rights which spring from the nature of the civil power or do they arise from agreements and conces- sions made by the ecclesiastical author- itles? The contention of the Filipino Med- . lcal Association is that the Royal College granted the Spanish crown the right to appropriate the church offerings or taxes, known as the tithes and first fruits in their new possessions, comprehended un- der the common title of the Indies. Again this concession was accompanied by ths condition that the state should “make a sufficlent endowment for the churches in the said Indles, with which their prelates and rectors may be able to sustain them- | selves, pay the charges that may be from time to time incurred by said churches, etc.” The object of this ar- rangement was no doubt to secure the erection of churches with greater rapidity in the new ter- ritorie: It will be noticed, how- ever, that the church gave value to the state for the money received. The tithe, a purely ecclesiastical tax, and the first fruits, a kind of _ succession duty on church sitions, payable to the Holy See, yielded no small revenue. Pope Julius II, in 1508, granted a still larger privilege to the King of Spain, namely, the right of universal patronage. That is to say, in consideration of the ef- forts made to spread the Christian faith and to safeguard the temporal interests of the monarch, the King of Spain was allowed to name all the bishops and other ecclesiastical officials supported by the church endowment. The language of the concession Is sweeping: ‘‘We grant the privilege that no churches be ereoted without the consent of the King of Spain in such islands and continents now ac- quired or that may be hereafter acquired, and we grant to the said King the right of tronage and presentation for all tles, colleges and other ecclesiastical benefices and plous places.” The right then to interfsre in church matters granted by the Popes to the Ki; of Spain was conditioned on the mynfi support and endowment of the churches. Hence when the United States succeeded the Spanish crown and declared that ft would no |onfer observe the burden of the contract it of course lost the favor of the coptract. The right of patronage no longer belongs to the actual govern- Pins for Overcoats— here’s where we capture and captivate you— $7.50 for an Overcoat like we mention and describe.
