The proposition to construct mounds
in the areas outside the levees for the
protection Of life and property is OF
more importance than one would think
at first glance. II is estimated that
more than $1,000 acres Of land coulf

means 50,0O0 acres in Mississippi alone.
An organization was effected at Green

termination. This land is of the most

The immediate future is still
somewhat perplexing. owing TO con-
hicting conditions, says Banker
Clews. We are just now in the
midst Of a presidential campaign, a
period when unrest is always mark
ed, and when new enterprises are
necessarily deferred until conditions
become more settled. This DISPOSE
ton to wait is intensified this year
by the heavy losses which the panic
inflicted upon those who usually
have the capital. ability and DISPOSE
ton to develop new resources. This
class has been severely crippled.
Much will depend upon the next
harvest. Fortunately the outlook is
for an increased acreage and good
prices. 50 that our farmers have rea-

Of prosperity. The country is much

nearly all agricultural products. Al
most everything that ErUws is reIa-

If the republicans win the coming
election, the tariff will be revised
and revised upward and downward,
as the needs and the avarice of the
protected interests will dictate, says
a Washington writer. There'll be a

will be there to see that there is a
fair revision of duties on steel and
iron products and glass. Allison will
be there TO see that there is a fair
revision of the duties on hides,
horns and hog products. Aldrich
will be there TO see that there is
fair revision of the duties on cotton
fabrics and a new clause to cover
possible importations of oil from the
Orient as well as from Russia. De-
pew will be there to see that there is
fair revision of duties on agricul-
tural machinery, paper, and wood
pulp. Every great special interest
will be represented there. but those
who want lower duties will not he

tentious business will come before the
house Of commons until the new min
listers are appointed. Speculation in
this matter Is most active in all politi-
cal centers. 1t is regarded now as
practically certain that David Lloyd
George, president Of the board Of trade,
will succeed Mr.. Asquith as chancellor
and that Sir Edward Grey will retain
his portfolio as foreign secretary, but
nothing can be predicted with GER
tainty.
Among the interesting predictions is
that Winston Spencer Churchill, under
secretary for the colonies, will take
the place of the Earl Of Elgen as colo.
NAL secretary and that Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord Of the admiralty, will
withdraw In order TO accept some
other office.
Mr.. Asquith declined to be drawn
into any statement of the situation.
Mr.. Asquith's accession to the pre-.
miership will be we'll received by all
sections of his party, with the posi-.
bic exception of the extreme Radical
and Labor men. who are inclined TO see
in his imperialistic views the end of
some Of their aspirations for sociallstic
reforms.
Not In Favor With the Irish.
Similar feelings are likely to prevail
on the Irish benches Of the house of
commons. where he is not regarded as
a sure friend Of home rule in any de.
gree beyond giving Ireland control OF
her merely local affairs.
Among the general public Mr.. As.
quith is looked upon as showing the
highest career open TO talent. having
at a comparatively early age. from an
Insignificant beginning. attained tn.
highest position in the state. Nobody
doubts bis consummate ability and ad.
illustrative capacity. The only ques-
ton in mems minds is whether he has
the art Of managing men. He is said
TO lack the personal enthusiasm and
charm Of manner which distinguished
his famous predecessors and which is
regarded as one Of the first essentials
in securing followers.
