could dream of Joining issue with the
three giants, i. was hoped that way had
been discovered to ward Off the impend-
ing danger until definite announcement
of their purpose had no longer been
avoided, and that the Government would
keep bold countenance while single
chance of preserving the conQuests III
Manchuria remained. This illusion,
after being cherished for two days, was
painfully dispelIed. On May 4th came
the intelligence from Kioto that the offer
had been made by Count Ito to reiln-
quish the whole of Manchuria except the
southern portion of the Lao Tung penln-
suIa, on which Talien and Port Arthur
are situated. This was the first intima-
ton of the Ministry's resolve to yield.
The end is accomplished SO far as can
now be judged, but Count Ito has little
cause to congratulate himself. He can no
longer look TO his countrymen for the re-
ward which only fortnight ago they
were clamoring to bestow on him. lie is
we'll aware that from the moment his re-
nunciation OF the Manchurian Province
is publicly known, his laborious services
to the State which disregarded his in
dustry and ability will be scotfed at and
his name held up to execration and con-
tempt. Moderation and tolerance are
not among the virtues of the Japanese
people when their pride is wounded and
istry of which Count Ito is the head can
never again stand against the rage of the
entire community.
1t is thought possible that, for seeing
his fault, he is already providing for a
new administration. Three days ago the
full Cabinet and Privy Council were
summoned to Kioto, with the purpose,
it is supposed of recommending pre-
arranged change of government to the
consideration OF the Emperor. But 1t is
most unlikely that any Ministry In
which Count Ito has the slightest con-
Germ Will be permitted to rule. The ma
ton will be untedly arrayed against him
and his associates. NIscount Mutsu may
be exempt from censure. because it will
be known that the preclpitate surrender
was contrary to his wishes, but he can
hardly expect, nor would he probably
desire, 10 be separate from his fellows III
their downfall.
The successor of Count Ito will GER
talnly not be a man Of his choosing.
Common opinion among officials Is that
Count Okuma will be the intellectual.
though probably not the nominal chief
of the next Cabinet Okuma is unques-
tlonably the most vigorous and energetic
statesman in Japan, but he has mary
enemies. and the present Ministers would
risk enough TO prevent him from return
ing to Office. Some of them would not
hesitate TO blacken his reputation with
the Emperor, and thus interpose a form
idable barrier to his elevation. But the
highest ability is needed at this crisis,
and Okulna so easily leads all rivals in
tellectually, with the sole exception of
Niscount Mutsu, that the direction of the
Government can hardly be kept from
him. l do not speak of this as GER
talnty, but as strong probability. With
In very few weeks the question OF future
leaders will be definitely settled.

His wife, on some Improvement

to attend lodge meeting. When
he had reached the lodge the mem
bers were discussing a resolution
by which they proposed tossplant as
above stated, and in their advoca-
ting the resolution stated that the
grangers throughout the cotton
belt were pledged to the same rule
of planting. Upon taking the
vote. he was asked to vote, He
excused himself, saying that it was
a new subject that he did not un
dcrstand.
The resolution was adopted. lie
said that he thought he saw his
opportunity to pay for his land
much sooner than his contract
called for, SO he told his boys that
the country was not going to plant
but one third OF that years crop IN
cotton, and that he, with his sons
help, would plant all OF their crop
in cotton, planting corn enough to
do them until their neighbors
should gather corn in the fall. He
planted all of his best land IN cot
ton, saying that he would get as
much corn as lie wanted at 80 or
IS cents per bushel, and get a fine
price for his cotton. In May he
was called on to attend to a bust

two thirds of their crops in cotton.
After he had transacted the bust
ness which had called him from
his home, he returned homeward
by a different route and through
the section Of country where there
was another Lodge, he found that
all on that route as the Others,
two-thirds cotton had been plant
ed. On reaching home, he said,
boys we must 90 down in that bot

cotton and plant it in corn if We
want any bread next year to eat.
