A Bold O'DonnelI.

Three years ago the Hon. PoTATo PIN.
GREE devoted himself with all the ardor of
his temperament to the theory that one
term Is enough for a Governor of Michi-
gan. The practice of the Michigan Re-
publicans has never been In accordance
with that theory, and as soon as he was
elected Governor the theorist changed his
tune. Like another eminent reformer. the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND, he felt that he
could not d~isappoint the people. So he is
now an enthusiastic believer in two or
more terms for a Governor. Indeed, con.
sidering the enormous amount Of reform
that he has under way, he may feel justi.
fed In asking to be reelected Governor

some people cannot talk. They become
tongue-tied when they are directly con-

back painfully upon Its sources, and the
suffering heart fails to express itself. II q

who shall say that he should not write7 II
he can do better with a typewriter than

safe to say that enamored persons are as
DESTROYS to understand each other as real

Still, the question is not without its side
of sentimentality. Sentimentality attaches
to habit. Habit Is a tremendous force in
human nature. There is habit in the
manufacture of love letters. And we ven

The Wheat Trade of Austria-Hun-
gary.

An additional reason for the economic
coalition of Continental Europe against the
United States, proposed by Count GoLU-
oHowsKI, the Austro.H Hungarian Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs, is suggested In q
circular just put forth by our Federal De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t was already
known that Austria Hungary, like Ger
many and France, feels Itself aggrieved at
the discriminating duties levied by US on
beet sugar imported from b~ounty.paying
countries. 1t was also known that certain
articles of American manufacture, espe-
cially machinery and labor.saving appli.
ances, can he sold more cheaply in Austria.
Hungary than can similar commodities
produced in the dual monarchy. It was not
generally known, however, that, owing to
the present high price OF wheat, consider
able exports of that cereal have been made
TO Bohemia, thus invading a market which
Hungary has hitherto regarded as ex.
clusively her own.
To appreciate the Significance of this
economic phenomenon, we should keep in
view the ordinary state Of things in the
dual monarchy. Some interesting data
bearing on this point have been transmit.
ted for the consideration of the Department
Of Agriculture by Mr.. GEORGE r. ERNST,
United States Consul at Reichenherp
Austria, In n report dated rs lately as Aug
21. 1907. Mr.. ERNST shows that the Aus
t~ro-Hungarian monarchy produces, unde,
normal conditions, more thar sufficient
grain for its own use. The principal grain
growing part Is the Hungarian OF Trans
Lothian moiety of the Hapsbnru domip
ions. while the Austrian or Cis.LeIthar
half, being chiefly an industrial and com
mercial State, is in respect OF its grain SUP
plies largely dependent upOn it's ueighbo,

from 44,O92. 900 to 4 ,767, 900 bushel
