VENEzUELA AGAIN.

When Venezuela fails to give
us one or more sensations per
year. we shall begin to feel
that the millennium is close at
hand. But that time is not yer. Only
last winter the turbulent little repub-
lie boiled over in revolt and the revo-
lutionists gained control of some cities
and considerable territory. After
time. however, President Castro re-
gained control of the government and
the revolution of the winter OF 1902
03 passed into history. But out of that
revolution, and some few others that
preceded it. grew the difficulties that
are now threatening what corre-
spondent at Caracas calls another
crisis"
One of the first acts of revolution
airy party when it captures town or
hamlet is to begin the collection of
taxes; and the tax payers who do not
pay promptly usually find themselves
in an uncomfortable position. So used
have the people become to this sort
of thing, however. that they pay
lists will be successful, so they will
not have to pay the taxes over again
to another party. Many foreigners,
principally subjects of France, Ger
many and Italy, were heavily hit for
taxes By the revolutionists of last
winter. These foreigners paid and
took receipts. Later. when Castro
had come into power again, his tax
collectors called on them and told them
to pay up. But we have paid al
ready" protested the foreigners. THAT
won't do" replied the tax collectors;
your receipts are no good" And up
on the foreigners still protesting they
were arrested and thrown into Jail,
where they still are, guarded by troops.
Their governments have been notified,
and it is believed demands for their
release will be forthcoming.
Meanwhile the Mixed Tribunals are
considering the claims of nine foreign
governments, including the United
States, growing out OF recent revolu-
tons and aggregating $43,O00,0O0. The
sittings of the tribunals and the sums
they propose to collect are annoying
the government. and the newspaper
organs of the administration are at
lacking the foreigners. Out of it all
there ought to grow something inter-
esting.

A Note in PQNainU.

YES" said the bandmaster, I'VE do
have troubles with our musicians
sometimes" according to Lippincott's
for October.
Once we were engaged to play at
funeral. Our notice was very short, so
we had no rehearsal We reached the
cemetery without any mishap, but
there something happened. We were to
play solemn measure while the body
was being lowered into the grave. Only
few instruments were needed. 1
was slowly and solemnly swinging my
baton, the spectators were silently
weeping, when suddenly the trombone
gave a loud, long blast, enough to wake
the dead. Some of the mourners faint
ed, the players stopped in consterna-
ton, and 1 jumped over chairs and
racks to where the trombonist, a dull,
heavy German, sat, stolidly gazing at
his music.
What the devil did you mean by
bursting out that way? l shouted.
He raised his eyes slowly to mine.

The Chicago Record Herald (Ind.)
says: why wouldn't ii be good
plan for the gentlemen who are try
ing to make their trotters do it in
less than two minutes to have a strong,
serviceable system of suction pumps
rugged up around the tracks?"
The Chicago Daily News Qnd)
says: 1T is said to be on the pro-
gramme to have the assassins of King
Alexander convicted and then pardon
ed by King Peter. The King may
know a good thing when he sees it and
refuse the pardon after he has the as
sassins safely locked up"
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)
says: What simple and easy solu-
ton Of the race problem is this propo-
sition to send all the negroes to AZ
RIGA. We've got the money, we've
got the negroes. and we can get the
ships. All we need further is to get
the consent of the negroes to go and
of the African negroes to let them
come"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: What is to become of the re-
nowned parliamentary government of
England If King Edward is to be per-
mitted to actively intervene in the
formation of a cabinet7 Is England
threatened with return of the arhi-
trary rule of George III? 1t Is by

1t Comes High.

The late Mr.. Frank Peavey, of Min
neapolis. had excellent taste, of which
his handsome and luxurious home bore
evidence, says October Lippincott's.
Mr.. Peavey had an old uncle whose
unsophisticated mind he delighted to
surprise with his works of art.
For an enormous ballroom in his
house, a room measuring nearly sixty
feet in length, Mr.. Peavey had recent
ly bought a handsome and valuable
rug at a very high price. The rug re-
posed, a veritable silken gem, in the
center of the polished ballroom floor,
and Uncle Jimmie was taken to in
spect it. When he was told the cost
he puckered his lips in a silent whistle,
scratched his head, and after a long
silence said slowly:
Frank, I'm derned if I don't think
it'd "a been cheaper to carpet this
room!"

Midshipmen of the First class at An
napolis are to be treated more like
men. They are to be allowed to smoke
in quarters. This many of them have
been doing anyway, though without
official sanction. Probably more of them
have smoked because of the restric-
ton. Often a, desire to smoke is high
tened by the knowledge that it is not
permitted. For this reason the privi-
lege should be permitted all the mid

scAnC1rY oF FARM LAnon.

In his monthly talk" to farmers
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
pays attention to the growing scarcity
Of farm labor. That there is such a
scarcity and that it is growing acute
has been noted in all parts of the state.
From a dozen counties since the open
ing of the cotton picking season We
have had reports of the inability of
farmers to get anything like enough
laborers. for the harvest. Some of our
correspondents have said that the
farmers would lose considerable part
of their crops because there was not
help enough to pick all the cotton, not
withdrawing advanced prices for pick
ing were offered. The movement of the
labor element to the cities, the fac
tories, the sawmills, etc, has left the
farm short-handed. not only at harvest
time, in many sections, but at the seed
ing and cultivating times as well.
Nor does Commissioner Stevens see
any hope of an increase in the farm
labor supply to a point where it will
equal the demand at any time within
the near future, if ever again, unless
there are changes in farming methods.
He tells the farmers that it is essential
to their success ito find some plan
which will enable them, with less labor
and less acreage, to raise as much cot
ton as heretofore "Of course" con-
tinues the Commissioner, cit will re-
quire scientific farming to raise as
much cotton on ten acres as used to be
raised on twenty. To do this will re-
quire intelligence and diligence. Some
in Georgia have done it; why not
others?'
We have heretofore expressed the
opinion that within a few years the
bulk of the cotton crop would be raised
on small farms, and not on great pam
tations. Much of the crop in Texas is
now raised on small farms, each titled
by one man and his family, with one
or two hands employed the year
around. The scarcity of farm labor
may hasten the time of the smaller
and more profitable cotton farm
in Georgia. That few acres
highly cultivated will produce a larger
and more profitable crop than many
acres indifferently cultivated is we'll
known to every tiller of the soil. In
Georgia there are many farmers who
are making one acre produce as much
cotton as two acres produced before;
and wherever such a farmer is found
it is seen that he is in good circum-
stances and on the high road to indie
pendence. Diversified and scientific
farming is advocated by the Commits
sioner as the only means Of meeting
the labor crisis successfully, and his
position is the correct one.
