domestic science in the university
of Ohio.
Prof. Gibbs fully appreciates the
vast scale of agricultural opera
tons in Texas, and accepted the
position in the college largely be-
cause of his vivid realization OF
the fact that the opportunity for
influential work here is greater
than in any other state in the I'M
ION. Familiar with the great agri.
cultural advances in the Middle
West and with the work of the
great agricultural institutions IN
Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, and
with the aims and policies Of the
leaders in these states, he should
be able to take firm mold of his
work here from the outset and co.
operate with the authorities of the
college and with the progressive
farmers of the state IN making the
work of the department of agricul-
ture and Of the experiment sta
tons the equal of any done any
where else in the country.
Prot. Gibbs will assume his du-
ties at the college as soon us he
can make the necessary arrange
ments for transferring his family
and his effects.

After serving satisfactorily there
he was called TO the department OF
agriculture at Washington, where
he was engaged in special work in

however, very soon awaited him.
The university of Ohio soon de.

Corruption of Government officials.

The Venezuelan government officials are
as characterless and corrupt as those of
any earth.
while Venezuela is a so-called republic
President Castro has not permitted an cleo
ton since he succeeded Guzman through
a revolution to the presidency. Castro arbi-
trarily regulates the tariff, and an import
that has a duty of ) per cent on it today
may by his order have % per cent on it
tomorrow. One of his acts since he be-
came president was to order, under the
penalty of imprisonment for its violation,
all olive trees cut down. in order that he
might derive more revenue from imported
olives.
Most of the foreign companies and bust
ness men ascertain after they have invest
ed their capital in Venezuela that they are
subjected to systematic blackmall. If they
do not contribute as called upon by the
government officials they soon find their
business hampered, if not entirely ruined,
by said officials who are responsible to no
one but Castro, and it is understood that
he stands in with them in their demands
upon the foreign business people. AS he
alone. as already stated, regulates the tar
iff 1t Is plain how the business of any or
all foreigners may be affected.
'It is a quite common thing for the sec
Rotary of war the secretary of the interior
and the private secretary of the president
to call on foreign business men or their
managers and borrow five, ten or fifty
dollars. These loans are always made,
and at once charged to business losses, as
they are never paid.

Claims of Americans.

1.-The claims of the citizens of the United
States against the Venezuelan government
are far greater in amosnt than those of
either the private citizens OF England or
Germany. Then why. 1t may be asked are
our citizens claims not presented and en-
forced? The reason is that, while our peo-
pie have suffered greatly in this way, they
are afraid, from their experience in Vene-
zuela, that their complaints would not be
properly and quickly backed up by our gov
eminent, and that the Venezuelans would
utterly ruin them i could cite instances to
prove this, but they might injure our peo-
pie in Venezuela.
LAS an example of the doings of the post
masters il may be stated that ii is not I'M
usual for the postmaster in one city of
Venezuela, If not more, to sell ten dollars
worth of stamps for 81 cash.
1T is a common thing for the mail not
only of foreign business men. but of foreign
consuls and even foreign ministers, to be
held up and opened by the Venezuelan Off
Gals These matters have been repeatedly
complained about. Such officials merely as
sumed a going to-do-about-

Regulation by the Powers.

1.-The Monroe doctrine is all right. and
our government cannot recede from it.
Something. however. should be done in con-
cert by the powers TO compel such govern
ments as that of Venezuela to respect the
rights of the citizens of other countries
The citizens of the United States, of Great
Britain and Germany resident in Venezuela
frequently discuss the remedy for the con-
tinued outrages on the part of the officials
Of the latter country. and the consensus of
opinion is that the powers should organize
a commission of honest and capable men TO
control and regulate the Venezuelan gov
eminent for term of, say, ten years, said

Hatred for Americans.

Notwithstanding President Cleveland's
action on behalf of Venezuela which saved
that country the loss of part of its terri
tory and which would nave rendered the
people of any other nation our warmest
friends, the government and people of the
United States are really more hated by
the Nenezuelans than those of any other
nation-noI excepting Germany and Eng
land up to the time of their present attack
on Venezuela. Through their illiteracy
and dense ignorance the NeneZuelans have
irbibed the idea that the United States
government intends to absorb all Central
ard South American countries.
Their hatred of citizens of the United
States was noticed and remarked upon by
all our people residing in Venezuela, and
was shown by them in various ways. For
eigners of other nationalities, among them
English and Germans, considered the treat
ment of Americans by the VeneZuelans
great joke. and improved the occasion to
make sarcastic remarks about the love

each one is overthrown it is found that he

Company at Bay City. The following year,
encouraged by the state bounty of cent p r
pound (sohich was never paid), eight more
went up in that state. Many Of the CON-
panies whick built these soere not organized
until very late in the season, and in such
districts late planting was consequently
unavoidable.
The weather conditions also proved very
untavorsbIe, which, added to the jnexperienes
of many growers, produced disastrous rea
sults. In fact, few interested realized their
expectation. and the industry received
severe check. The year 1900 was very
successful, however, and those growers who
stuck to the business were we'll repaid.
One factory was built during that year and
three in 1901. Five are already building
for 1902
During the past ten years the industry in
other states has passed through much the
same conditions.
