Uruguay r and Paraguay, so unimportant on the maps that 1 many people a few years out of school have about forgotten their existence, have been developing some experiences that could well be studied by this country. Each is an agricultural country; each has been busily de vising methods to attract immigration and development. Each regarding agriculture as the industry on which all others must rest; have gone in for plans of helping the farmer that are radical, and yet have thus far produced excellent results. . Uruguay's government found farmers paying outra geous rates of interest on money. A big national bank was organized. Money was secured, through this bank, from European centres, and lent to the farmers at rates rather less than half those that had previously prevailed. In Paraguay the Banco Agricola, or agricultural bank of the nation, has $14,000,000 capital, and the larger part of this is lent to farmers on a plan by which it is paid back in annual installments extending over a period of fifteen years. This bank, on behalf of the government, furnishes free seeds and helps farmers to buy imple ments, fence wire, etc. When an immigrant comes in and declares his purpose to become a citizen he receives about thirty acres of land, and as soon as he makes certain improvements required by law, he has as much more conveyed to him. The bank will advance him cash up to $5 an acre to make improve ments and to produce the first crop. These measures, of course, are vastly more radical than anybody dreams of taking in- behalf of American agriculture, and than American farmers want, for they ask no charity of anybody. But they teach one lesson that should guide in formulating a system of rural fi nance here. They prove that the combination of the soil and the man owning it makes a fine security. In Uruguay and Paraguay, as in Ireland and in the north of Europe under the Landschaften system, experience has demon strated that this kind of banking is safe. The farmer is helped and the banker At the same time profits by help ing him. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. fwHE political outlook so far as the governorship is concerned is pretty uauiy nuxcu. mmc ui e as jhuuj opinions as to who is in the lead as there are candi dates. These opinions are, of course, most of them "the thought that was fathered by the wish." Putting all personal feeling out of the matter and looking at it cold-bloodedly, there seems to be but little doubt that the Republican nomination lies between General Crawford and Dr. Withycombe, with Crawford the stronger, and Gus Moser an unknown quantity. It is understood the wet element is strongly behind him, and with the vote divided it is possible for him to pull through and capture the nomination. We do not know that the wet element has concentrated on him, but such is alleged to be the fact. If they have, he is dangerous to all his opponents. John3 is making an active campaign and seems to be gaining some support. On the Democratic side it seems to have settled down to a fight between Bennett and Smith, with the former rather the favorite in the race, although the Manning adherents are making strong claims of victory. This is the way the situation sizes up, and it looks as though the final round would be between Bennett and Crawford, with Smith and Manning neck and neck for second place in the Democratic primary. However, this is not a prediction it's a guess because there is really no basis upon which to base a real calcula tion. Argentine gave us the tango, and if she will make amends by relieving us of Mexico we will call it square. Huerta, who had Richard Harding Davi3 in jail, has turned him loose. Huerta may get drunk occasionally, but it is safe to, say no drunken brain ever conjured up so mean and disreputable a way of getting even on his enemies. This one act should justify President Wilson in declaring all mediation off. Any king, prince or poten tate that had Richard Harding Davis in close confinement and deliberately gave him his liberty should be punished as an enemy of all humanity. It is stated in a report from the Colorado strike and upon it that "the strikers are many of them foreigners and do not speak English and it is therefore difficult to make them understand when vou trv to exnlain the situ ation to them." Rockefeller is not a foreigner, speaks and understands English, and yet it seem3 to be just as hard to make him understand, when the situation is ex plained to him. Thp report that last Sunday many of the American soldiers and sailors attended church in the morning and a bullfight in the afternoon, shows the boys have consid erable tact. The most delicate and flattering thing that can be done to any people is to conform to and take part in their national religion. Friday is the date on which many pipe dreams are sup posed to come true. Saturday morning many will find their pipes have gone out, and that they are also out of dope.

Mrs. ilitouoovk hiul been shot through the heart and her h:bnnd through the head. The couple were said to have separated recently. Thev had five children. iV I x The wind comes singing from the south, as hot as though 'twere fried, suggestive of a turnaeo mouth, and blazing coal uisid. And now the wheat will dio the death, the corn will say goodbye; for in that fierce' and fiery breath all growing things must d i e. The wind comes nosing from the north, to see what it may sec; and when that sort of wind comes forth, 1 murmur, " II n 1 1 v chee! 'Twill kill the blossoms on tho trees, tho garden snss must go; when nature trots out such a breeze, the poor man hns no show. The wind comes wailing from the east, and. floods will soon appear; 1 hoped to seo my store increased in goodly shape this year, but endless raius will spoil tho oats, and drown the geese ftnd ilucka, and fcive the mildew to the goats, and I'll lose 'many bucks." Thus speaks the kicker, and his wail is ris ing every day; he's sure that every thing; will fail, that grief is on the way. If he were farming Cananu's land, with milk and honey near, he still would kick to beat the band, and shed the briny tear. COMPROMISE AN IMPOSSIBILITY. London, May 13.
