W A RECKLim AI3TIST, COLUMBIA, C., IS NOW MAKING THE BEST PIC tares that can be bad in this country, and all who have never had a real fine picture, should now try some of his latest styles Specimens c??n be seen at his Gallery, up stairs, next to the Hub. Affairs in the Philippines. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Five months ago but few people could have been persuaded that "ff-drs here would have been in so favorable a condition so early in the present campaign. When I say that the situation is favorable, I mean that the condition of affairs here at the present time are as good as could have possibly been expected under tne circumstances that existed five months ago. The present campaign opened here about three week ago with the advance on Tarlac by Gen, McArthur advancing from the south, Gen. .Lawton from the east, Gen. Young from the west and Gen. Wheaton from the north. Gen. McArther advancing northward along the railroad from Angeles and Gen. "Wheaton southward from Dagopcn. Tarlic was taken with only a few shots and from thence the four commands have scoured the whole northern valley, at various places making veiy valuable captures and nowhere meeting with the resistance that was generally expected. Two days ago GeD. Lawton took his command into Manila, marching neatly three hundred miles and having only two or three little skirmishes that occurred very soon after they started. The other commands have had similar experiences, but some valuable supplies have been ciptured, but most of the time with little resistance. Now the railroad is opened to Dagopon and the towns are garrisoned for many miles into the inteiior. The country between Balinag and San Migil has been the sight of most of the fighting that has taken place latelv, but now it has been scoured by troops under Col. Hood and noth ing but garrisons of American soldiers remains. I happened to be with Col. Hood's command when he made an expedition to Biac No Bac, the place whero Aguinaldo boasted that he could hold off the American troops for a hundred years to come and where he compelled the Spaniards to pay him half a million dollars to surrender, but there was no sign of Insurgents except that there was quite a valuble lot of stores found in a cave on fKo r\t fho m.-\nnfoin T oilPSfi UUO OIU^ V* iUV UJVMU VUIUI A ^ V.WVW that the vigilance of oar troops in ihe north has kept him too busy to hunt his favorite retreat of which he boasted so loudly. In tbesouth about same conditions exists as in the north only our troops are not quite through their campaigning there yet, otherwise affairs are about the same as in other parts of the island. We would hardly know that war was going on now if it were not for the travel stained troops passing through on their way to Manila after two months monotonous campaigning, rendered monotonous because there was nothing to attract their attention except the country and a few Fillipinos cutting rice in their fields. I now wish to say a few words in regard to the numerous criticisms that have been heaped upon the heads of the military Governor of the islande, and those who are directly connected with government and military authorities here. To one who is in a position to judge unpredjudicedly it sounds like childish felly to criticize something that we know nothing about 01 are not in a position to understand. Since the beginning cf the Insurrec tion General Otis has been criticized for it seems like every move that he has made, when, if the truth weie known, most of the criticisms have arisen through prejudice or through some order that was issued for the good of the country but in some way (ff'-cted the personal iuterests o: some men that were temporarily con neeted with the government. The latter case is well exemplified in the case of volunteers and "wai recruits" who were serving here a the time of the Insurgent outbreal and were expecting to be dischargee as soon as peace had thoroughly beet settled between the United Statei and Spain. The readers of the Dig | patch well remember that at tha time there were only about fifteei thousand American troops here al told and our fighting strength onb n o o about eight thousand, of which wei ' cither "war recruits" of tbe regular army or volunteeis "With the outbreak at hand and ODly a bendful of ) men altogether it would have scarcely ; seemed advisable for the Cummand? ing General to have asked for these * men to be discharged until more troops could be gotten here to take 1 their places. Although most of these men were good soldiers otherwise, | moat of the criticisms have been going the rounds in the States for the last nine months, have originated from these men either directly or indirectly. A man is very likely to overlook the interest of the government when his own personal inter eets are at stake. Iq regard to the treatment of the soldiers here I am in a position to speak for myself at least, and say since I have b^en here, and from .what my comrades have told me, it is and has been the very best that could be expected under the circumstances.

Recently a feature of the day's j proceedings in the Senate was n j forceful pro-Filipino speech by Sena | tor B. R. Tillman. His discussion j of the subject was general. "Mr. Tillman deprecated the idea ; fbot. a man ia fn thfi H if i W -W O he declares his belief that prosecu | tion of the war in the Philippines ie | d'sloyalty to the declaration of inde j pendence, and said he was "ready tc locate the responsibility fur the blocd ! that has been spilled. "I impugn no man's motives," he arid, "but whether the President be most to blame or whether the crime ! rests on his dupes and subservient party dependents I say, with all the emphasis of my nature, that I and none of those who voted against the treaty are responsible for the ep'llirg of one drop of this innocent blood that has been shed, and I will net ! | endure patiently and without resent- j ^ ment any such accusation." 1 Mr. Til'man tLei d:s:ussed it j length the race question as it relates- j to the Philippines, in the course ot which he expressed s'rong dissent from the statement made recently bj j Senator Morgan, that the civil wai ^ was precipitated by d< s:gniDg poli . ticians who desired to thrust the ( negro with social and political equality upon the whites of the south. Scouting the charge the F.lipinos were not capable of self-government, he said: "If the Filipino leaders and their I . followers, those men of affairs, me n t so stroDg in the faith of the ( right of men to govern them- ( selves after our great example, that. , although illy armed and without i artillery, it has reqoirec sixty thou- { sand American troop3 c ?er a year to ( drive them from the field and, even , yet they have not surrendered, but | ? have adopted a euerrilla warfare?if I , these are not fit for self-government ( under our kindly tutelage, let me ask ( of those Republicans here who in , part are responsible for it, and who j i were and are now in absolute sym- j pathy with it, how dared they give , the control of southern States into ! the hands of negroes as beiDg fit not j | only to govern themselves, but also i to govern white men ? If the Filipi- ! nos are children, what were and are 1 i the ex slaves of the south? How | dared Republicans appeal to the | ; northern masses to compel the south i ( to grant the negroes a free vote and a fair count when it involved negro j , rule pure and simple ? Were the fruits of the war mere Sodom apples , to be turned to ashes in such a brief span? Are the 13th, 14^h and 15th amebdments to be nullified in their ! very essence because they failed of I their purpose in the south? Are they for home use only ? Isthefl<g to become again a flaunting lie, aDd j float over a military despotism, first in the Philippines and later at the home? Was the memorable corflict between slavery and freedom useless? Have we gained nothing? Is the commercial greed which dominates in our councils and coerces the president to do his bloody aDd dirty woik to mats of the constitution a new 'league with death and a covenant with hell' in the interest of oppression akin to slavery ? In order to do ' all these things, must we 'camp out- j side the constitution' and give the old interpretation of the southern slave holders to the declaration of independence aDd nullify all prece dents QDd decisions of our supreme I court? Did this nation offer up of! its best and bravest upon the altar of libei ty the blood of several thou- ! sand men and spend and destroy five ' billions of treasure that we might ; have a 'government of the people, by the people, for the people', to find \ j that in the brief span of one man's | life the sacrifice was vain, the civil war a mistake, and that the colored race has no rights we are b.und to : respect at home or abroad? | Adverting to Mr Beveridge's quo; tatious frr.m the Bible Mr. Tillman i said: "I have heard iuat the devil can quote scripture for his own purposes. Why, I can quote Scripture i myself (laughter) 'Verily, verily, I 1 ; say unto you, Senator fioin Iudiana' j (pointing hie finger dramatically at j Mr. Beveridge, who sat within a few feet of him), 'you cannot gather figs from thorns, nor grapes from thistles.' "If we mete out despotism and bayonet rule to that people, will it | not be meted back to us? It need ( not be from a foreign source, and it cannot be from a foreign source that he government by bayonet will ever oppress the American people. Our danger lies in familiarizing our peo pie with the despotic methods, in j abandoning the Ameiican ideals and j the principles of our fathers. "The curse of bayonet rule will i come back to plague you as sure as | tnere is a uoa in neaven. In conclusion, Mr. Tillman said: "I protest against the continuance of this unholy war. The President ba9 declared that upon congress rests the responsibility. He shirks the burden of his mistake and endeavors to shift it to our shoulders. Let us give those people a government of their own, the only selfgovernment in whatever form they j might select, and be 1 id of the | burden as well as the shame which j must be ours if we do net Let us j protect them against outside inter- j ference and in a small part compen- j late them for the wroDgs we have | lone them.

Live stock, as a rule, has been greatly improved and the sheep and hog industry has received more and better attention. Much new ground has been opened, the larger portion of which will be planted in cotton, the acreage of which will be materially reduced.
