He Thinks tho Philippines Will Soon bo Peaceful and the Inhabitants Contented. Chicago, January '20.-Governor W. H. Taft arrived hero to-day on his way to Cincinnati, where ho will spend sovernl days before proceeding to Washington. In answer to Inquiries, ho said: "Tho only answer I havo to make to tho ideas of individual obsorvors which declaro tho true condition in tho Philip pines has been concealed, or that wo aro hugging delusions of poaco that can never bo brought about, is that tho govornmor.' is t ^:>ccaling nothing, and that its oouoluaiona oro not bas?d on wild theories, hut substantial facts." This was tho reply Governor Taft mado to a statement published hy Stophcn Bonsai, declaring that desporato opposition was still being encountered in tho field, and that tho natives aro irreconciliable and bettor organized thau before tho capturo of Aguinaldo. Governor Taft said that although there was a timo when, for military reasons, it had not been advisablo to make public ovorything occurring in tho Philippines, tho necessity foi such secrecy is over, and that no elTort is now being mado to conceal any part of tho truth from the peoplo of this country. "As a matter of fact," ho added, "tho embers of distrust aro being kept alive by sensationalists, who soi/.o on ovcry potty point and seek to twist it into somo horrihlo barbarity of our government in tho islands. Take, for instance, tho talk about concentration camps. Although I am not sufliciently well acquainted with tho full military plans to speak with absolute authority, 1 can say that the whole subject is much misunderstood by our pooplo. "As a matter of fact there has never been any thought of establishing 'con centration camps,' in tho ordinary accep tation of tho term. All that has hoon proposed is an insurgent cordon, tho establishment of a dead lino, into which will gradually bo drawn all tiie remnants of Insurrection that exist. "Tho non-combatants on tho islands havo novor, oven at tho hardest poriod of tho war, received anything but tho utmost kindness and consideration at our hands, and it is hardly probable that this policy will hu rovorsed now that tho opposition is fast drawing to a close." Tho Governor behoves that tho only oxisting opposition to tho authority of tho United States is hoing fomented by tho mon who form tho Hone Kong Junta, most of whom were formerly residents of tho rich coffe-growing province of Batangas.

As to^ tho neoossity of a tariff in the Philip pines he said : "There was plenty of money for the oarpet-baggers over there to spend." Reaching the real Rubjeot of his speech, Tillman said : "South Carolina - has created more history than any other State in the Union." While speaking several Senators engaged in conversation. Tillman vigorously objeoted. "For ouce," he said, "I am making a speech for home consumption." "Of course," he said, ::t?enators on the Republican sido wc?? not interested.

WARN?NQ TO FARMER8. Our Correspondent Says thal Ka Thinks this ] will be a Good Year for Farmers. Editors Courier : More people left th? farm last fall than was ever known before. Most of them went to the mills, in faot so many that all of them could not find employment. The year 1901 was very hard on the agricultural classes. No one made money, but loot, or come out in debt. A great number found that they would not lue able to farm this year and had to resort to other vocations ? to make a living. Many who workbu j crops last year are working for wages this year. Nearly one year ago I urged upon the readers of The Courier the im portance of diversifying their orops, and with much stronger argument 1 repeat it now. Owing to tho soaroity of feed stuffs farmers will be com pelled to diversify their crops this year, or at least to a greater extent than they generally do. Corn and hay are going np almost every day, and there is very little in the coun try-not enough to feed the stook until the land is prepared for the coming orop. A majority of tho farmers have no money with whioh to buy corn, at any prioo, and if not very economioal they oannot keep their stook in working order until green feed comes in. For several reasons I think this will bo a good year on the farms, not that I anticipate a good crop year, but that all kinds of produce will be high, and, owing to tho great num ber of people compelled to work for wages, and tho oonsequont reduotion of wages, it. can be made at a mini mum cost. Those who oan possibly make a crop this year had better do so. If you can manage to get enough corn and hay to make your crop without going in debt, tant mieux. I have never known a better time for young men from town who desire to farm to make the attempt. If you have means with whioh to make a crop, I can seo no good reason why you should not succeed. And if you have not the means, and can get somo one to back you, 1 think it would pay to do so. Farm hands will bo very plentiful next summer. Times will be so hard that people will have to work almost at any price. There are already more hands than oan fiud jobs. Taking everything into considera tion, I don't seo why a number of tho boys in town, who aro trying to find employment, do not try their hand at farming. It is a lamentable faot that sq few of our country boys remain on the farm. Farming is certainly a pleasaut occupation, and I fail to see any good reason why it should not bo made a profitable ono Bad management and a few poor crop years have caused many ambi tious boys and young mon to leave the farm and seek a more paying place in our towns. This kind of a place is hard to find. It may have paid to move to town a few years ago, for thore were hot as many ap plicants then as now. Farming, under an economical management, will furnish large returns to our young men who are willing to work and try to make something out of it. The prospect for young farmers in the future is very bright. Besides .the business advantages connected with agricultural pursuits, How many mothero realize that when the baby's advent ls expected they need strength for two instead of one. Wom en, .weak, nervous, "just able to drag around," find themselves confronted with coming maternity. They have not strength enough for themselves, how can they nave strength to give a child ?

In the first place country life is free from the noise and, excitement of tin towns and oities. The country is more solitary and furnishes a better place and more time for serious thought.

Surely our heart-ungrateful as it is -would prompt us to exclaim in the wonderful words of Job : "But ask now the beasts and they shall teaoh thee ; or the fowls of the air and they shall tell thee '; or speak to the earth and it shall teaoh thee ; and' the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
