The evidence | gathered from the most
various sources about the ParaRuayan ma
tives was always the same. An English
ex naval officer aud ex-elephant hunter In
Africa, who has a cane distiilery near Par
aguari, was OF opinion that Paraguay is
not going to improve in the immediate fu-
ture. In twenty or thirty years time,
when the population has increased and life
has become more difficult, there may be a
change.
At present the people have mandioca and
oranges in abundance They need not
work, and they will not work. This gen
tieman thought that the Paraguayans were
most happy under the severe tyranny Of
Francia and Lopez, when they were all
practically slaves, and he regretted that
foreigners are not allowed TO come In and
buy land, because 1t means to the natives
an ultimate loss OF nationality.
Another Englishman, who had been
three years cattle farming at San IgDacio,
told me that ever since he had been there
he had never got n stroke OF work out OF
the natives dwelling on his land, they live
on oranges, mandioca and mate, and will
not work On his estancia he has 10000
orange trees, but for want OF means OF
TRANSPORTATION the fruit has no market
value Under the trees the oranges lie on
| the ground foot deep, and the cattle eat
them and fatteB well.
This observer suggested that it might bt
a good thing for Paraguay II the govern
ment caused the orange trees to be cut
down, as the government OF Costa Rica nj
/ me time had the bananiers destroyed, with
| d view to stamping out laziness and oblig
/ ing the people TO work for their bread
| All this seems strange. Nature and thu
Jesuits have given these Paraguayans thu
means OF life and oblivious felicity in thu
shape of mandioca, oranges, mate and TO
bacco. They enjoy climate 80 delightful
that clothes are scarcely needed. And ye
the meddlesome Europeans are surprised

The death OF Senator Plumb, which is an
event OF considerable political importance,
has special significance from another point Of

continuous strain which lie imposed upon his
physical and intellectual powers by oyerwork
There was no member Of Congress who was
more indefatigable than Senator Plumb in
bis habits Of industry. He carried burdens
which properly he should have turned over
to assistants, but which he was unwilling TO
leave TO others simply because he was over
anxious and oyer-solicitous. He IS known TO
have often dictated as many as one hundred
and fifty letters before his early breakfast
hour. and after the trying labors of the day in
the Senate chamber II was invariably his Gus
tom TO remain up to late hour attending to
the great mass Of private business, chiefly in
the form Of correspondence with his con-
stituents. which he wished to dispose Of be-
fore retiring. In this task he relied upon
himself alone not delegatng to secretaries
the larger portion Of the drudgery which was
thus entailed.

going through all the county papers OF Kansas
which had any standing OF influence. To all
these papers he was subscriber. his object

State, which no very justly said could only
be discovered from a careful examination Of
the editorial columns Of the local papers.

Plumb rarely permitted himself the enjoy

any gay occasions. Morning and night his
life was devoted to the performance of all the
duties which his position imposed upon him

exercise or to the mind from innocent diver
