Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. CONDITION AT 31ANILA. The condition around Manila and throughout the Philippines remains about the same as during the past ten days, so far :as whipping the natives is concerned. Gen. Otis' troops have had serveral sinall en gagements and have taken some lit le new territory, but as yet the natives, which are commonly termed by our authorities insurgents, show no dis position whatever towards throwing up and surrendering to the American troops. The United States now has practically the same condition upon her hands that Spain did when she was trying to subdue the Cubaus. The exact conditions and principles involved may not be the same, but in many respects the Filipinos are very similar to the Cubans. In fight ing tenacity they are identical, and with those same guerrilla methods with which the Cubans fought the Spaniards by running out of jungles and 'pouncing upon them, then to re tire into the brush where the Ameri cans can hardly penetrate, the Filip inos are now giving the U nited States troops trouble around Manila and floilo. The weather is now becom ing so hot about Manila that many of our soldiers cannot stand the sun, while the Filipinos are undaunted, and when troops of the natives come out and fight with primitive bows and arrows, while in another instance one of the native commanders is unable to wield his sword, yet with one of his arms in a sling, he com mands his followers while in battle; it shows that these poor, half civil ized people are fighting for freedom and principle, and if the United States wants to show them her hu manitarian dealings, she must go about it in some other way than shooting them down in battle. The treaty has now been ratified, and Spaiii and all Spainish. control has been entirely eliminated from the situation. This is proper, that the treaty should be ratified, for had it not been, then the United States would yet be technically at war with Spain; hostilities being only ceased by the terms of a protocol, and had the treaty not been ratified when hostilities were opened and continued as they are now, the terms of the protocol would have been violated, and our government would yet he fighting Spanish citizens. But the treaty is now settled. Spain now has nothing to do with the Philippines; she has no more control over them than England, France or Germany. Technically the citizens of those islands are citizens of the United States, but the United States cannol afford to go to war and shoot dowr people upon such a technicality.There is an underlying moral question which we as a great moral and civil. ized nation are bound to respect. The United States did not begin war for conquest, but for humanitariar principles, and when we simply by our superior strength, wrench from Spain her possessions and set ui over her citizens a government of military authority and rule them al the point of the bayonet and by shooting them into submission, we are precious little better, if any, that were the Spaniards. The Filipinos cannot understand our humanitariar methods, and it is not surprising that they do not. If the United States wants to do the graceful thing let hei offer some concessions to the Fili pinos. We can afford to do it. We do not need to annex them. We dc not need any such citizens in out body politic. But offer to allow thenr the privilege of organizing some sort of a government of their own and assit them to do it, and whet they are organized exercise a protec torate over them and use our power in preventing their being grasped by some other greedy power. If we de something of that sort, we will do the act graceful, but there is nothing gaceful in shooting down the citizenm of a poor little sickly, half civilized people and then gloating over om: victories. If is like a good, big brag ging boy flogging a little one and then crowing over his accomplish ments. Love laughs at locksmiths, but il reserves its sweetest smiles for the The Republic of France is unfor tunate. Only about a year and a half ago Mr. Carnot, President, that able and good man, who held the love and esteem of most of the citi zens of the republic, was assassinated and fell the victim of an Italian's stilletto. le was succeeded by M. Cassimer Perier. Perier was a good man, but was not in harmony with the powers that were, and was out of sympathy with the popular senti ments that prevailed in many parts of the republic, and so great was the opposition to his administration that he was soon forced to resign rather than change the policies which be clung to, or see such disturbances as might in evitably result in the destructi3n of the republic itself. When he re signed he was succeeded by my M. Felix Fame, who possessed the esteem and good will of the people at large. Publiz matters had scarcely settled down and the government had scarcely begun to run smoothly under the wise head and guiding hand of Felix Fame when the whole world was grieved to learn that he was stricken with apoplexy while at tending to his office duties last Fri day and died in a few hours. Mat ters had become peaceable and har monious under his -government, and his death is a great affliction to Fr ice. The Chamber of Deputies met Saturday and elected M. Loubet as his successor. Loubet is a very highly educated man, but as was the case with Cassimer Perier, seems not to be in harmony with the people, and immediately after the annouce ment of his election there were loud demonstrations of disapproval, am ounting almost to riots, and resulting in the arrest of many who made de monstrations at Versailles. France is unfortunate, and not until all of the older of the Bona partist and Bourbon elements are dead and the country becomes steep ed for decades in the refining and stable influences of liberal republi can government, -will the populace become satisfied and willing to sub mit to the methods of government that she has. Capital Correspondence. The session of 1899 has lasted longer than many of us expected it would, but the length of the session is largely due to the fact that this is the last one which is unlimited. Here after no session can last longer than forty days. The bill to submit the matter of biennial sessions was smoth ered in the House, so it will be another year before any action will be taken to bring about this much desired piece of legislation. In my opinion, there is absolutely no neces sity for the convening of the General Assembly every year, once in every two years is a plenty. The readers of THE TIES will re member that I have always protested against these long sessions and was one of the few who tried to call up. a resolution to adjourn on the 10th. I am yet to learn wvhere we have done any legislating that will be generally felt by the people; of course, we en acted a great many laws which are of great importance to the interests to be effected, but the best work done was the slaughtering of bills which,if passed, could only have had the ef fet of adding more leaves to the Statute books, and created confusion. A bill was put through authoriz ing the county commissioners to bond the past indebtedness of the county, which will prevent parties holding claims of long standing, p~ut ting into judgment. This bill author izes the commissioners to issue four year bonds at 5 per cent. interest. Dr. Woods has not been able to get back and he is greatly missed by his colleagues who have formed a liking for his earnestness. Representatives Richardson and Jones have stuck to their posts, al though both of them have been ail Governor Ellerbe continues a very ill man; on last Thursday he granted a pardon to Dublin Williams, upon the recommendation of the Judge, Solicitor, foreman of the convicting jury, the Senator and others. I was greatly disappointed in nr being able to take my usual SattLr day night visit home, but committee work, together with a night session, prevented. I feel that a State Sena tor,if he believes himself, ought to be as good as a nigger, and a nigger is permitted to go to his "wife's house' every Saturday night, but then it was the last week of the session and I quely submitted to my disappoint -ment. I have learned a great deal by my association here; it has taught me to think and feel that it is a good schooling to a man to be thrown in *contact with thinking men, and especially with those who are earn estly endeavoring to be of benefit to the people. I have been treated with Ithe most kindly consideration by my -fellow Senators, and I believe that my relations with them has been at benefit to me and to my constituents. When I return next year I will be in a better position, and with the friends I have made I feel sure that if there is any measure which will benefit Clarendon that I can introduce I will not be lacking for aid. Before the next session I will ask~ for a meeting at the court house to with regard to needed legislation and thereby equip myself, so that all of my measures may be introduced early. e find that i is the "early bird that catches the worm." My second at:tempt on the seed cotton bill succeeded in passing the Senate, but it was so late that it could not be acted upon by the liouse; however it is now on the caledlr and will be taken up among the first things next session. The auditor's salary has been ~ re duced $100; the sheriff, dieting fees, have been reduced from 30 cents to 25 cents; the clerk of court will now get a salary for work in criminal cases instead of fees, which will be a saving of about $150 a year. Last year the clerk drew nearly $300 from the county and the more cases tried by the courts the more his fees amount to. Now, ir uatters not how many crininal cases there are, he can only get $150. The reductions in the sheriff's dieting fees will amount to a considerable save also. The commissioners who are to as sist the supervisor were down in the supply bill at $3. per day, but I had it reduced to $2. and not to exceed twenty-five days. I believe there will be more money saved to the tax payers this year by careful manage ment than ever before, and it will be my pleasure as well as duty to aid the commissioners to bring about this result.

Hall's Fauiiy Pills are the best. Washington Letter. (Fronm orr Regular Correspondent.) Washington, February 17, 1899. Quite ss sneaky as its attacks upon Gen. Miles is the attempt of the ad ministration to make it appear that democratic Senators are trying to force an extra session of Congress by opposing legislation for a large standing army. It is the duty of democratic Senators to act in accord with the wishes of their constituents and in resisting by every constitu tional and parliamentary method koown to them such vicious legisla tion they will be doing exactly that. They have nothing to do with calling an extra session of Congress; that is strictly a Presidential prerogative. A feature of the red hot debate in the House on the offering of the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal bill as an amendment to the Sundry Civil bill was a short but strong speech in fa vor of the bill by Representative Bailey, of Texas, who said he sup ported the amendment because it provided for direct ownership of t> e Canal by the government, instead of a partnership with a private corpora tion. Some bitter personalities were thrown around during the debate. Czar Reed and his henchmen in the House oppuaed the amendment, and most ')f the demorrrats favored it. It was ruled out on a point of order, and the House~ under the lash of Czar Reed sustained the ruling by a vote of 127 to 109. The disposition of the McEnery joint resolution, which was this week adopted by the Senate, by a vote of 26 to 22, by the house committee on foreign affairs, will speedily show whether the resolution was adopted as a part of the game by which a sufficient number of votes were ob tained to ratify the treaty, or not. The vote in the Senate indicates that it was. The Bacon substitute, which was defeated by the vote of the Vice President, the Senate beirng a tie, really has a meaning; it pledged the United States to treat the Philippines just as it is already pledged to treat Cuba. The Philippines could be held forever and a day, as the saying is, under the McEnery resolution, if it were a law. Representative Lewis, of Washing ton, in the course of a short running debate on the item in the sundry civil bill which appropriates $22,000, 000, to pay Spain for the Philip pies, pointed out the important and interesting historical fact that Spain is the only country on earth that has ever repudiated its treaty obligations. In 1762, after the English had taken the Pilippines, Spain made a treaty in which it agreed. to pay England an amount equivalent to $10,000,000 to regain possession of the islands. Eng land gave up the islands under that treaty; but Spain has never paid a cent of the money promised. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, chairman of the republican caucus, this week named the committee of members of the next house, who are, in obedience to caucus direction, to prepare a financial bill to be pre sented to a caucus of the republicans of the house, in the next Congress. The make up of the committee leaves no doubt that the bill it will prepare will be whatever sort of bill Mr. Mc Kinley may wish to have jammed through. One of the shrewdest men in political life said of the probable work of this committee: "My pre diction is that the financial bill that is likely to become a law at the first session of the next Congress, wvhether that be an extra session closely fol lowing the close of the present ses sion or the regular session next win ter, will not meet the wishes of Sec retatry Gage and other extreme single old standard advocates. Next year will be Presidential year and Mr. Mc Kiney is a very wily politician. In my opinion, he will try to make that tinancial bill a dodger, and he will have plenty of assistance from the members of the house who have a strong silver element in their dis tricts" The average democrat in Congress wold much prefer that Secretary Gage's ideas b , . . cial bill, because that would leave no room for dodging the issue in the next campaign. But it is always the policy of the politicians to prevent a square stand-up fight on a plain issue, if there is any possible way in which it. can be prevented. Ex-SecretarV John Sherman didn't mice words when he spoke about the attetupt (f the war commission's report to whitewash Alger and his gatng and to blacken Gen. Miles. Mr. Sherman said: "If McKinley were up for election today be would get in Ohio but ani inconsiderable number of votes. From all that. I can learn there is little enthusiasm for him there, and but very few newspapers are supporting him. There is no doubt that such a condition has been brought about by just such attacks as Ire being made upon Gev. Miles. What has Gen. Miles done to the Presideut and Secretary of War that he should be treated so? He has no" stood in their wa,. I suppose jeal ousy is at the bottom of it all" Mr. Sherman may be very sore-headed he has reason enough to be-but that does not prevent his being able to tell the truth.

Almost all the furniture was im ported from England. An old copper mine in .Connecti cut was used as a prison. Every gentleman wore a queue and powvdered his hair. 'I here was only one hat factory and that made cocked hats. Crockery plates were objected to because they dulled the knives. Two stage coaches bore all the travel between New York and Boston. A day laborer considered himseli well paid with two shillings a day. A gentleman bowing to a lady al ways scraped his feet cn the ground. A man who jeered at the preacher or criticised the sermon was fined. Beef, pork, salt fish and hominy were the staple diet all the year round. The wvhipping post and pillory~ were still standing in Boston and New York. Buttons were scarce and expen. sive, and the trousers were fastened with pegs or iaced.-Ex. Danigers of the Grlppe.

C ROSSW THE CHEA ST7TB~lIR. - After several visits in Scotland dur ing the summer of 1838, Carlyle went home again to Scotsbrig, writes Charles T. Copeland in The Atlantic. On his return thence he spent a few days in Manchester with Mrs. Hanning. "He had been put to sleep in an old bed, which he remembered in his father's house." "I was juEt closing my senses in sweet oblivion," wrote he, "when the watchman, with a voice like the deepest groan of the highland bagpipe or what an ostrich corneraik might ut ter, groaned out 'Groo-o-o-o!' close under me and set me all in a gallop again. 'Groo-o-o-o!' for there was no articulate announcement at all in it, that I could gather. 'Groo-o-o-o!' repeated again and again at various distances, dying out and then growing loud again for an hour or more. "I grew impatient, bolted out of bed, flung up the window. 'Groo-o-o-o!' There he was, advancing, lantern in hand, a few yards off me. 'Can't you give up that noise?' I bastily addressed him. 'You are keeping a person awake. What good is it to go howling and groaning all night and deprive people of their sleep? He ceased from that time-at least I heard no more of him. No watchman, I think, has been more as tonished for sone time back." English Children and Negroes. The negro is not so well known as one might expect, considering that geog raphy is widely and often excellently taught in our primary schools. The ideas most frequently expressed con cerning him are that he is black and a foreigner. Here are some of the definitions: "A black man who lives in India." "A dark man who comes from America." "A negro is a slave we read of them in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' " "A gentleman who lives in a foreign country." The country children are even more lively in their descriptions than the town children: "A negro is a foreign man with black skin all over him with thick lips and curly black hair he goes naked." "A negro is a man and they live in a very hot country and they have little huts to live in." "A negro is a black man who acts in a circus." "A negro is a man whose skin is al ways black, they are strong and they live in huts, and do not wear clothes and they shoot with a bow." "A negro is a man what eats missionarys." The Sunday school missionary stories and the traveling circus color the village children's ideas on negroes.-National Review. Discouraging. First Theosophist-This settles it.
