ALL CROPS "N RM KK BOI TOM LOST. "The damage to crops has been very great. All crops on the immed ?ate river bottoms from M.-I.ennin county south are a total loss. The land bordering ou the Braz i rivet is the most productive in the State There was a largo acreage in cotton corn, sugar caje and other crops The following are the counties whn-!i have suffered the greatest damage : McLonuan, Falls, Robertson, MtUm, Bra/is, < i rimes, Washington, Waller, Austin, Fort Bond and Brazoria There has been a small acreage in undated in some other counties, bol no great damage resulted outside of these. Cotton planters have suffered most. The loss of corn has been great, and betides the crop now growing,there was a Urge amouDt of last year's crop yet in the bins which has been spoiled. ?Sugar cano plan? tations in Braz is bottoms have inl fered much. In some places hull the crop has been destroyed. The minor crops also are of considerable im portance in some of these comities, and tbe loss of these represents a large sum. homes WA8BCD a\vv,. "FarmiDg implements, stock and many of the email tenant hou the bottoms have been washed away. Houses left standing are in many in stances not in a fit condition for use The total losses, judging from press reports and other available informa tion, will aggregate nearly ten mil lion dollars. The number of peopl ? who are left without means of guste nance is very large. The towns which have suffered most are Culvert, Brookshire, Richmond, SaDdy Point, Columbia and Brazoria. It now ap pears that the total number of casu? alties as a result of the fluid will fall somewhere between forty and fifty. "Action has already been taken by some farmers to plant other crops where cotton and corn have bpen de? stroyed. Somi? cotton will be planted, but to what extent cannot be even approximated. Eff jrts are being made to get the farmers in the flood district to plant a variety of ciops. It is desired to make the dis trict self-sustaining as soon as pis sible, and many who have interests along tbe Brazos river consider this the best course to pursue." ?100 Beward- 1100 Tbc readers of this paper ?1)1 he attests to loarnthat there Isat least one dreaded disease that science has besaabletO cure In all its stasres and that is Catarrh.

Senator Mor ol Alabama, in declaring that be leriooilj to Mr. Bryan's view that C ?ogreae, when it aase in -liould order the withdrawal of nil troops from the Philippines, a propoaition that would be against all the laws of humanity aid which mot and di igrace to this country, lays the Senator. " I'i order to bring about a bettor aoderataodiog between Senator Mor? gan and Mr. Bryan and stop the troulile that is brewing. Editor (?ark Uowell, Democratic National oitteeman. arged Mr. Bryan to make a clear statement of his views on the Philippine problem, and the Nebraakan has wired Mr. Howeil from Humphrey, Neb., as follows: " 'The treaty should have prOT?dt r] for the iadependerjcd of the Pu:lip piue I lands, as it did for the iod ? pi d ?eace of Cuba, but 1 thought it : to ratify the treaty and dec?ate the nation's policy byresolntionthan reject the treaty. 1 favored the Bacon resolution, which promised the Filipinos independence as soon as a stable government could be es tall.shed. I lu heve, further, that our nation should protect the Filipino Republic from outside interference while it works out its own destina? tion. In other words, I believe we should treat the Filipinos as we have pDtnised to treat the Cabana, and as we treated the people of Mexico and the people of South and Central America. Monarchies are founded upon force, but republics are found ed upon confoit. " 'The Declaration of Independence asserts that governments derivo their just powers from the consent of the governed. If the declaration is sound, we cannot rightfully acquire title by conquest or by purchase from an alien monarch, whose title we dis? puted when he furnished arms to the Filipinos. " 'If the adminidtation had given to the Filipinos the assurance of in dependence which was given the Cu bans, there would have been no bloodshed. If that assurance is given now hostilities will cease. No one proposes to withdraw the soldiets until a stable government is estab lished, but it will be easy to estab lish a stable government when it is known that our occupation of the Philippine Islands is only temporary. " 'Forcible annexation would be criminal and contrary to our code of morality."

We want a man who will turn the Philippine Basco into a cam? paign of action and success, and wiU enlist the confidence of the Ameri ?an people and command the respect ol Kurope. Such a man is Governor Roosevelt. It is not a question or ! what Mr. McKinley would like or Mr. Roosevelt perfer;its a question of what the country needs and the situa? ron demands. It's a matter of pub lie duty ar;d patiotHtn. The New V. rk World says: Tue sitnation in the Philippines is un donbtedly very serious, but no part of tbe miserable btibiness has be? n so disgraceful as tbe suppression and "doctoring" of the news by General Otis on tbe plea that the facts would "filarm the people at home." The X. Y. Journal says: We t* I B to be living under a round robin military administration. When the imbecile commanders selected by a hero dreading President have brought our armies to the verge of ruin, a few desperate men at tbe in? side of things, uuable to endure the situation any longer, tako their lib i orty iu their hands and unite in tel? ling the truth. Then the adminis' tration is compelled to do : OB4 thing? It was the officers, of whom Colonel Roosevelt was one, that performed this service at Santiago. The news? paper correspondents have juet done it at Manila. The New York 1'ress says: Of how much light and lesding Genere! Otis has deprived the world in the case of Manila correspondents the world must be unaware until these gentle? men are more specific. But, how ever, the Froudes and Maeaulays of the Philippines have suffered from enforced reticence.they may eongrat ulate themselves on some things <?io is that they were not in Ken? tucky with Sherman, in the Soudan with Kitchener, or, above all, in Vir? ginia with Meade. He had a very ugly way of censorizing after the facts?"editing the paper next day," so to speak. He employed a drum corps and a barrel in tbe course of it. It was cruel, as most of war is. Manila is not Mulberrv street and wars are not conducted as a famous superintendent was said to conduct the Police Department of this city, for the purpose of "giving the boys good stories.'' "The Philadelphia Record says: "Some real news from the Puihp pines is set forth in the joint state? ments of 11 American correspond? ents stationed at Manila, which has been forwatded via Hongkong These trained and experiencedjobser vers cf passing events, who certainly would not desire to misrepresent facts, make formal announcement to the American people that the infor? mation filtered through the censor ship at Manila has not redacted cor? rectly the real situation in and around Manila, whether in regard to the results of American operations or the quality and vigor of Filipino resistance. "The absolute and utter failure of the spring campaign, the large pro? portion of men disabled by disease and the incessant activity of the op? posing insurgent forces were features not to be explained away by officia) excuses nor ignored by a public anx? ious for peace and jealous of nat? ional honor. It can scarely be doubted that the truthful reports which have been withheld from tbe American people have all alorg been at tbe service of tbe adminis? tration at Washington.The President and tbe War Departmentcilicialshave been kept constantly and accurate? ly informed of the state of affairs in and around the Phillippine capi? tal. The American public, on tbe contrary, has been hoodwinked and deceived so far as official effort to that end could be successfully em? ployed. ' Th^re is l;t'leorno reason to doubt the eornctre-s of tbe state? ment f?r*a ded bv the correspond? ents at Manila. It harmonizes with ihn record ot events thus far, with tbe habit of official authoritity as exercised in the War Department aid with tbe elaborate preparations ? novo on an im| pbia Led ' ?gaii 1 upon the ' iat the tt . alarm the peop! or bas pond vent i. intended d rea< bing the enemy is entirely justi. atended to con ol the United Wo 'ought I ' Iruth, 10 he truth that j ' : could di lurb our ? quanimity. T e be of Hongkong manufacture contains germ ol truth. The I .oui.I compel the Vv"?t at to fake ? I of ti King th?- truth about what has already occurred. Lincoln did ihit during the War of the Ri lion, and frnnieully put an end to ?larmiDg rumors by a .simple ment of fact. President McKinley can do the same tbicg now, and he ought to do it it be can truthfully ie insinuations contained in this alleged protest, ?ieneral Otis should h" invit.-d to make reply to it line by hne.and 'ho reply should then be published under the authority of ibe I'r? sident. The Puil id? I pi . ; ;iv 'Ae ooiding to a dispatch s gi i d bj ? paper corn in M ?nils i erai?1 en exercising uudue restrictions in the way of censor bip on cm |tj dispati bee. Aa the mails to Hooghoug are not under any censor ship, there cinnot bo much deUy in getting anything through to the United States. Ar the same timo any censorship intended meiely to in Suenes news dispatches to the United States is unwise. Tnere is evidently increasing doubt in the public mind as to the experience and fitness of 'ieneral Otis for the responsible work he has in haud." The Puiladt-lpbia North American s?y.-: "'?ranting absolute freedom to the press would not increase ' ?tie1 ability to deal with the situation. Bo has had his opportunity and fatled. A man of braius and action is needed in the I'uilippines now." The Boston Herald says: The cen? sorship at Manila must have become intolerable. Nothing short of a con? dition of affairs so bad that it could not be endured any longer would have driven the correspondents of American newspapers to unite in a "round robin" calling for an abate ment of the restrictions under winch tbey have suffered. Tueir protest tells the story of the official1 suppres? sions and misrepresentations by which the American people have been misled in regard to tue military and political situation in the Philip? pines. In protesting against the gag of the Manila censorship, the press cor ndents have done a great ser? vice to their country. We said the other day that the American peopl?? had a right to know the truth in re gard to the situation in the Philip pines, and that the truth had evident ly been kept from them. The Boston Post says: The ex? plosion has como at last, -lust aa the infamous neglect of our troops in Cuba produced the famous "round robin" of the general officers under Sbafter before Santiago, so the sup? pression and falsification of news from the seat of the Filipino war has produced the statement of the til correspondents at Manila.
