no means be regarded as a desirable place
for AustrO Hungarian WCuld-be emf

tory climate, but also because of the
great difficulties under which the chief
agricultural occupations on the sugar and
tobacco plantations are carried on and
which require long experience and spe-
cial knowledge. The food which is but
little nourishing, is another hardship for
the immigrant, and one to which he has

years, although it may not have been

been DESTROYS of cutting loose from

Of work, where they might utilize their
talents in comedies which should be not

"Frenchiness." Their first effort is

The Subsidy Jeb.

We are interested but not instructed on
observing the wide differences of opinion
among press authorities concerning the
prospects OF the Hanna subsidy job in the
Senate. One set OF investigators claims to
know that the steering committee in con
junction with Senators Frye and Hanna
have worked the Chamber until they row
control more than enough votes to pass
the bill whenever it can be pushed TO d
final decision. Others assert that it does
not stand the ghost of a chance that the
old Republican leaders in the body are
privately and unitedIy knitting it. and that

These latter prophets also say that Mr.
Hanna is no longer the dictator he was
before the election. either at the White
House, or elsewhere: and that he is be
ing given a quiet object lesson to make
him realize the fact. They say that, VIXEN
he threatens an extraordinary session IN
case the subsidy job be not accomplished
during this one. he does not speak by the
book, as Mr. Mckinley would see him N
Lake Erie rather than crafty him in that
respect.
We state the facts as they present
themselves We do not assume to judge
between the opposite opinions VIC have

exhausted his power TO further ass st or
