From Jesse ~. Thomas. Who Is In the Phil
ippines.

-. b. Thomas Il Co., General Con
tractors and Builders" is the heading of
a letter received by Nathan Thomas from
his son Jesse now in the Philippines.
The letter is dated at Nueva Caceres,
December 4, 1901, and is as follows:
"Terrible weather here now, rivers are
overlooking their banks carrying bridges,
houses and everything along their mar
gins We lost last night several cords OF
wood some timber and other things that
we had in our yards next the river banks
One can go to almost any part OF the
town in small boats and the rain is still
coming down in torrents, things look
gloomy and all business is suspended
but it will, undoubtedly, be over in a
few days"
Under date of December 8, the letter
continues:
IL have been up night and day look
ing out for our property which was sci
afioat The damage to us is very severe
! but how much | cannot tell as yet
Yesterday everything was under from
three to ten feet of water: stores, houses
and everything were ahoat; our office
ard storehouse stood it as well as any
happened to be located high but for al
that, tables, desks and chairs would
have floated out of the windows had they
not been barred. Several natives were
\ drowned.
About Ii o'clock | was standing near
bridge on horseback when a small
bamboo shack came humping along the
| banks of the river. As it turned IA small
child came floating out. | learned after
wards that two other children were
drowned in the same house some miles
up the river. They are used to floods
here but they all say never but once did
anything equal this.
"Our business is in a bad state, as We
know not what has become of many
things that were being brought to US by
river. Probably our loss will reach some
500 or 500. Don't know what would
become of US il we had many such loss
es.
II am in the best of health and am
| living well, but am getting homesick to
see little of civilization once more. 1t
has been long time since i have seen
ANYTHING like it. Manila and Hong
Kong and Canton, China, do not com
pare well with good old American town,
but am sure don't know when | shall
reach it again, but, God willing, let it be
soon.
II bought a lot of condemned stuff OF
the quartermaster at sale we had the
other day, among it two horses and two
mules. | have already sold one horse
and one mule and have a lot of other
junk to be sold; will make well on it
think.
Hoping this will find you all well and
happy. and Paw Paw, dear old Paw Paw,
prosperous and as pretty as ever,
Il am your son,
J. b. THOMAS"

Leave the Tariff Alone.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Speaker Henderson is correct as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of refraining from tariff tink-
ering at the present time. While he de-
clares that revision in certain parts of
the tariff laws could be advantageously
made, he points out there is danger that
sin trying TO reach few remedies we
will involve the country in serious dill
culties." He also says he indorses the
position taken in President ROOSEVELT
message that "there is general acquies-
cence in our present tariff system as a
national policy"
There is wisdom in all this. No tariff
ID perfect, even for the time at which 1t
framed. Every tariff act, like legislation
OF many other sorts, is "a compromise
among diverse interests. 1t satisfies no
one entirely, and it grows, in spots, less
and less satisfactory as time alters con-
ditions. But there is always a chance
that when any revision at all Of a tariff
is attempted, the whole system IS taken
up for discussion. In every instance
when tariff changes have been started
the changes have affected more articles
than the changers intended at the out
set. One of the consequences of this
tinkering has been that men in nearly
all sorts of Industries have been made
uncertain regarding the outlook, and as
a consequence enterprise is blighted for
the time
The republican party has a special in
centive to be careful about tariff tinker
ing at the present time. An election for
congress will take place about nine
months hence, and congressional cleo
tions which come at the middle of a
presidential term are apt to hamper the
party in power in the presidency. The
republicans, of course, went through the
congressional canvass of 1893, in the
middle of President McKinley's service,
successfully, but their lead in the house
of representatives was considerably
shortened. On the other hand, the dem
ocrats in 1894, in the middle of Presi-
dent Cleveland's second term, and the
republicans 1890, halfway in the service
of President Harrison, met disastrous
defeat, which was presage of the over
throw, in each case, of these parties at
the polls in the presidential canvass two
years later. The outlook is particularly
bright for the republicans now, and they
will probably hold control of the congress
to be chosen next November, but this is
a good time for them to steer clear of all
rash experiments in legisla ton.

possible that by the fascination or THIS

But now. happily. the danger appears
past. 'rhe church is newly perceivng that
the address OF Jesus Christ was not TO
the problems of the mass, but TO tho
problems of the Individual soul, that ne
thought of and provided for the regenera-

and that his treatment of social duties
was always In the simple terms OF ono
mans service to as many Individual ne1Sn-
bors as he can reach. 1t is easy TO see
that right social order would automati-
cally result from that adjustment of IN
dividual lives to the will of God which
Jesus gave himself to secure, but we are
beginning to comprehend fully that IL
was the latter purpose, and no. the FORM

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 21.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady. with prices I'M
changed to 2 points lower, and through
out the day was dull, with meager
changes in values. The policy of the
whole trade seemed to be ''avoid new
commitments and take profits. wherever
possible" Speculative business from
the public was, the smallest in some
weeks, While Europe and the South
sent scarcely an order. Sentiment was
greatly mixed, with, both sides studi-
ously watching the movement for a
cue as to just which way to turn. The
early, English cables were rather dis
appointing and caused the opefing de
cline here. Receipts, too, were larger
than looked for, and were in good part
responsible for, the scarcity ofsnew or
ders. After the call May sold S.12c
only to rally to S.16c late in the morn
ing on late estimate for to-morrow's
Houston receipts. Toward mid day
prices slowly slipped back a peg or
two, and May fell to S.13c at 1890 p.
M, when the New Orleans estimate
made its appearance. Foremost of the
session operations were along hand to
mouth lines and quite professional. In
4the last half hour the market was
featureless.
AT the close the market was quiet,
net unchanged to 1 point lower.
