Schurman, president of Cornell I' ni wini ly, clint mian ol' the Uniter] States commission to the Philippines, entitled "Our duly lo the Philippines." Following is tin abstract : "We have forty to fifty tribes to civilize, and seven or eight of these tribes have some 300,000 members each. On the island of Luzon there is one tribe ol' ?i million ami a half ?d' people, who speak one language, as 'itally distinct from thc other languages tts Spanish is from Fnglish. Another tribe ?rn the ?ainu island, numbering about HUH,OOH, is as distinct from the other in language and characteristics as they .are from the Spaniard? them selves. Then on the great island of .Mindanao there are many tribes that are entirely different from each other. In the Sulu Archipelago we come to another class of unlives, about whose custom ol' slavery so much has been said recently. These are Moham medans, while in Luzon the natives are all Catholic Christians. IX Kl. V KNCK OK lilli IMtlKKTS. "The priests have ruled in Luzon so long that their in ll tienco is wide spread and the natives know of no oilier form of Christianity. The '/oman Catholic Church has been established there for three hundred years, and thc- archipcligo was really governed by tho priests, and not by the Spanish civil or military com manders. Of the ?l.-i,f>00,000 raised on the island annually, about ?1,000, 000 was used for the Church's sup port. Knell small church would re ?oive about ?000 for its support and the priests an allowance of *!l<)(). We must credit the 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 Philippines. 11A XI i H K OK hlVIOKI? UK KO KT. ".Missionaries are needed in the island, and 1 hope they will bc sent there in large numbers. There is plenty of work for them to do, and I iiope they will go with a complete understanding of the situation, to accomplish good. They must realize that they are contending with a Catholic educated population thal knows nothing about thc lim: differ ences between Protestant sects ami d?nominations. Therefore, it would be highly impolitic to send mission aries ol' different denominations to confuse the minds ol' thc people. I do hope that when ve send the mis sionaries we will dc* ide beforehand on one fo;m of Protestant Chrinli anity. Send only one . y pe of mis sionary. The Filipinos will then have Catholic. Christianity and Pro testant Christianity presented to them so they can make their choice. We have HO adequate idea how con fusing lo thc simple minds of an un civilized people the different forms ol' our Protestant faith appear. The Chinese, who are, perhaps, more ::? lo 11 ?gent than tho Filipinos, regard our different denominations as so many different religions. M ISSI! IX Al! I KS KUI! MINDANAO. "1 think the island ol' Mindanao is a more promising field for mission aries to begin their work in than Luzon. Thc influence of the Catho lic Church has md been extended to ?Mindanao and the simple natives would more readily accept thc type of faith which ibo .Americans would lench them. lt ?.M pos-iblc thal it would be dangerous lo send mission, aries to the interior of this island al present, bul as conditions become more settled and thc Americans are looked upon with a more friendly feeling this place w ill be n rich field for the American missionary, Wc ow e il to thc Filipinos lo give them thc best in our religion as well as in our educat ion.

"One reason for tho stubborn op position to our occupation of thc Philippines was a legacy of suspi cion and hatred for tho white man which Spain bequeathed to us. Tho Filipinos know the white race only by one specimen. Spain to them represents thc whole world of Euro peans-the whole white race-and her authorities made promises repeat cully to them and broke them. They will not to-day trust Americans or Spaniards, or any other Europeans. This distrust of thc white race is one nt' the problems that will require years of labor to overcome'. You cannot overe?me it with words, lt must lu* dissipated by actual works; they must have ocular demonstra tion that tho word of thc Americans can bc relied upon. Not until then will they benin to believe us. Con sequently I have urged it on Con gress and the President to set up civil government in thc Philippines just as soon as the military condition warrants it. A simple government is what is needed, and every pro vince should have it, so they can learn the meaning of our promises and intentions. Thc President is in possession of the fullest information j about tin- needs ami condition of the islands, and he can judge botter than ! wo can what is the best thing to do. lint as soon as a province is subdued some civil government should bo set up, so thal its operations before their eyes will teach them of its benefits.

That has hurt thc Americans more' than anything else ami thc spectacle of Americans drunk awakens disgust in the Filipinos.

KniTous : Sinco Christmas is over and we aro now in the Now Year I thought I would write a few linea which I hope will lind spaco in your columns. Now, aa to the limos. Kvorything looks promising for the farmer, for I never saw as much wheat sown before, and if they eau get to sow plonty of spring oats and the season suits, then I think we farmers can pull through, if we will plant plenty of corn to do us, and a few bushels to sell. Of course there will be a big crop of colton planted, but 1 hope tho farmers will take warning from the past and not over-do the thing and bring the price down to 4 Ol' ? cents again. Now, brother, don't you see it would be best for every body to make an eight million bale crop and get V or S cents, than it would to make a twelve million bale crop and only get I and 5 cents for for it, for if we don't try to make so mu di cotton, we can make more corn and other food crops and of course wo will receive more in tho fall of 11)00. If wo have plenty at home WC won't bear the cry of hard times. The only way wc fanners can have plenty is to make il al home, for as long as wo have to bay flour, corn and meal, we aro going to hear tho cry of bard times, especially if we aim to plant cotton to buy it with, even ut tho present prices. Well we hear of wars and rumors of wars and I hardly know what to sa}' about them anyway, but 1 can't sc<> wdiat Unelo Sam wants with the Philippines Islands, any bow when it costs so much money and lives, but I hope the Hoers will bc successful, for , I believe they are lighting for a just ? cause. Now, Mr. Kdilor, the biggest grumbling you hear now is about that road law ; it has got so mixed up I don't think anybody knows where it is and wdio is the boss anyway. I asked one of our representatives some time last fall if we could pay our road tax. Ile told me we could and now be says you can't, so I don't know bow this thing is any way, but there is one thing 1 do know ami that is that the people in this part of thc county don't like the way they tell us it is now. We want to pay or work just as we have been doing for the past few years, but these men we semi down to make our laws have just como out ami said you arc no longer your own boss, but you shall do as we say and be compelled tn work on thc roads no matter if you do want to pay your commutation tax. Now, Mr. Vernor came out two weeks ago and said be thought that the people would rather work two days than io pay Mc might think so, aral then not be right. 1 don't think the tax ought lo be over $1.00, for that is enough for anyone to pay, or work four days, and if ibo tax won't keep up the roads tax the property to finish ont, for it is noth ! ing but right ami just for the pro perty to work tho roads. Kor what j right has Mr. A to keep up the road for Mr. 1> when A has not got a horse and wagon and Mr. ll has got several ? j Of course ll is not responsible for A j not having them, but he ought to bc willing to bear the burden according to bis circumstances. Mr. Vernor ^ said in bis hist canvass bc 'ride lo ? find out wdiat tho people wanted and j he thought they wanted to go back : to the old way. Now, as to tho three commission ers. 1 have no objection, but I do j object lo being forced to work thc mads without .1 chance to pay out and when I say that I am speaking thc sentiments of four-fifths of thc j people in this part of thc county. Hut Mr. Vernor says if it suits the people best lo pay a commutation he don't think if will bc hard to change it. Well, 1 want to say to Mr. Ver I ncr that wc people down herc want, a reasonable tax and I think *l..~>0 would be reasonable, and then if wc don't pay wo can work four days. Hut wc want it so wc can chose for ourselves, which wo will do and not have two or three, men to say you 1 shall do as wc say. Thal, looks loo hard, and wc don't like it that way. Well, it won't bc long till our repre sentatives meet in session again .and I hope they won't change tilings so j this time until they can't tell how if I is when they come back lo ns this h.

SAT AROUND A KEG OF POWDER. Sparks Drop About Tho Grains and Four aro Killod. Neat" Drain pont oilier', in Lowndes county, Alabama, laNt Tuesday, C. M. Patterson was sitting before tho lire loading shells. His old father, a paralytic, was sitting near him, and his wife and children were about the lire. Ile had a powder keg between his knees and was Idling his shells from it. One of his little girls picked up a piece of nine and threw it on the lire. A coal or spark was knocked into the open powder k"g, when there was a terrific explosion. The little girl was instantly killed. Patterson's wife and father both died and Patterson is not expected to live. When thc explosion oc curred Mrs. Patterson, with her clothes on lire, ran into an adjoining room ami jumped into the bcd where her four-months-old infant was sleeping. The bedding was in stantly set on lire and the infant badly burinai about the feet, but not fatally. The house was set on lire and but for some negroes hearing the explosion those injured and four other little children in the house would have been burned with the building. . A Providence (K. I.) special says : "All the thread companies in the thread trust have raised prices, the explanation given being the advance i?i the cost of cotton ami operatives' wages. The former rate was a iiOO yard spool at 40 cents a dozen or three spools for 10 cents. Hereafter the price will be 5 cents a spool, fi;") cents per dozen." Mormonism in Mississippi. Tho rending of Governor MeLau rin's message in tho Legislature of Mississippi created quito a surprise when the section referring to tho growth of Mormonism in Mississippi was reached. The Governor do nounccd the Mormon sect in scath ing terms and recommended the adoption of laws that will prevent the teachings of the doctrine in tho State. During the discussion of tho subject he said : "There is no threatened danger to tho State moro baneful than the lecherous teaching of tho Mormon apostles of polygamy, lt is more dangerous because it is taught under the guise of the minis try of tho Gospel. The Mormons disclaim the open teachings of polyg amy in the pulpit, hut they teach it in tho corner and the minister's cloak gives potency to their speech." Suffered thc Death Penalty.

Congress will lind itself in hot water whon it begins the work of adjusting tho relations which our now possessions shall boar to this country in thc matter of thc tariff. Thc tobacco growers of Connecticut, anti perhaps of other States, aro pro testing against tho admission of to bacco front Porto Kico free of duty, and the sugar beet growers of thc West and the sugar cane growers of tho .South aro strongly opposed to the admission of sugar from Porto Kico and Hawaii free of duty. Tho proposition has also been made by the Secretary of War that sugar from Cuba bc admitted on the same terms as that from Jamaica ; and it will not be long probably before an effort will bc made to have sugar and tobacco admitted duty free, and also tobacco from Cuba. A very large section of country is interested in these tariff matters. Thc Connecticut tobacco growers arc especially alarmed at the prospect of free trade with Porto Pico. Ac cording to the information furnished thom the island can produce about four times as much tobacco as it now docs, and it is of a kind that comes into competition with thc Connecticut product. Labor is very cheap there. Tobacco can bc grown at a profit at about five cents per pound. At that price the Connecti cut tobacco growers would starve to death. They could not got labor that would compote with that of Porto Pico, where a label >r feels he is vich if bc carns twenty-five or thirty cents a day in American money. Hut if free trade with Porto Pico is giving thc tobacco growers of thc Connecticut valley so much uneasi ness, what will bo their feelings when it is proposed to admit thc tobacco of tho Philippines free of duty? In thc Philippines enough tobacco can bc grown to supply thc market of this country with' better tobacco than that of Connecticut, or perhaps of any other State. Thc quantity produced there now is largo, and under tho methods of cultiva tion that will bo introduced when peace is restored will leave but little, if any room in our market, for Con necticut tobacco, if tho Philippine product is permitted to como in free of duty. Naturally a strong sentiment against permitting Porto Pico to become a part of this country is springing up in Connecticut, and it is probable that there will bc even a stronger sentiment in that State against annexing thc Philippine Islands. Tho representative of tho Connecticut tobacco growers is in Washington for tho purpose of urg ing Congress to adopt the policy of holding Porto Kico-as a "military possession," so as to bring its pro ducts socking our market under our tariff laws. It is evident from thc foregoing that our now possessions aro going to give us some trouble before their relations with us are fully adjusted.--Savannah Morning Nows. Auijtisl Flower.

Tho Yorkvillo Enquirer Hays : "Tho Spartanburg Freo Lance is wrestling with thc taxation problem. It claims that not only does invisible property escape taxation to a very^ largo extent, but that borrowers have to pay taxes on amounts equal to two or three times tho actual value of their holdings, while lenders es cape almost entirely. For instance, A owns a lot valued at $500, and when he builds a house on it for $1,000, borrowed from B, and secur ed by a mortgage on the house and lot, his actual holdings ure no greater than before. Still ho has to return both house and lot for taxation, and pay taxes not only on his own inter est, but upon B's interest also. 1> may or may not return his mortgage for taxation. If ho ?loes return it, then a single piece of property pays j taxes twice, and if he does not re turn it he escapes altogether. Thc Free Lance points out that this is a very unsatisfactory and unjust situa tion, and suggests that it would be well to change the law so as to re quire A to mention li's mortgage at tho time A makes his return, in order that tho equalization board might deduct, the amount of the mortgage from A's return, and charge the same up to li, who really ought lo pay his share. The prob lem that is disturbing thc Free Lance has long been a vexed one, and something ought to be done to solve it fairly and equitably."

Appalling Dolicioncios. The cost of war is shown in ligures that almost stem (says the Green ville Times) thc imagination in tho deficiency reports that have been prepared for thc information of Con gross by tho Secretarios of War and tho Navy. Tho total estimated de ficiency for tho fiscal year, which closes Juno 31, 1900, for all of tho departments of tho government is (500,5301,000. Of this vast sum tho deficiency in tho appropriations for thc war department alone amounts to $45,1 57,871. The Fi fly-li ist C< ingress appropri ated $75,232,811 to defray tho ex penses of the army, but that has boon exhausted and tho additional sum, officially known as deficiency, is demanded to enable tho depart ment to continue military operations in the Philippines, maintain expen sive garrisons in Cuba and Puerto Rico and Keep an armed force in Hawaii. If Congress makes up this deficiency as requested, tho < ost of military operations alone will roach $10,000,000 a month. This does not take into consideration the cost of that department in tho Philippines and other island possessions, nor its reported deficiency of $3,000,000. Tho figures show that every man of tho military establishment has run behind. The subsistence depart ment shows a deficit of $3,000,000 ; the quartermaster's department, $1, f)00,000 ; incidental expenditures, $600,000 ; horses tor cavalry and ar tillery, $250,000 ; barracks and quar ters, $1,000,000 ; transportation of army am! supplies, -T>20,000,OOU ; salaries of officers and men, $lii,000, 000. Tho treasury deficiency, which amounts to nearly $2,000,000, is also traceable to tho war operations. Trouble is likely to occur in tho I louse and Senat e when those defi ciency reports aro brought to thc at tention of tho committee on appro priations. Tiio Democratic mem bers of both committees propose to institute a searching investigation to lind out why tho war department has exceeded its original appropria tion by $4f>,000,000 and whether tho administration contemplates main taining an expenditure of $10,000, 000 a month for tho army during the next two years. As viewed by Con gressmen who have taken tho quills to study tho deficiency reports they constitute a completo bar to any at tempt on the part of the Kifty-sixtli ('engross in tho direction of reducing tho government's war tax income.
