AT THE SOUTH OF Us.

Several of those countries which we call
Iatin-American are much to the fore In current
news some pleasantly and some unpIeasantiy.
Panama commands the admiration and cOngrat-
uIations of the world, and has finely vindicated
the confidence of her friends in her solution OF
the Presidential contest which exaggerated or
fabricated reports recently set forth as presag-
ing her ruin The result of the municipal cleo
tions of June 80 showed strong a preference
for Mr. Obaldia that the candidacy OF Mr.. Arias
was seen to be hopeless and accordingly that
gentleman has gracefully withdrawn from the
field leaving Mr. Obaldia TO be chosen President
next Sunday without opposition and saving the
republic from the possible annoyance OF partisan
indiscretions The unworthy suggestion that
this was done under pressure from the Unlted
States is of course, to be mentioned only to be
dismissed with contempt, along with the former
tale of governmental oppression and fraud and
of American Intervention. The simple fact is
that Panama is an enlightened constitutional re
public and is conducting its affairs in a fashion
worthy of such country.
Paraguay at the same time presents url-
welcome contrast in a renewal of those practices
which were formerly characteristic Of several
South American states and which brought upon
the whole continent an undeserved reproach
that still fingers there. Perhaps should not
he much surprised, for Paraguay has from the
beginning been one of the worst offenders
against constitutional order. Under Francia
and the elder and the younger Lopez she has
had no fewer than ffty-twO years of absolute
personal dictatorship in her ninety seven years
of independence What the merits of the pres
emf case are the outside world has not been ex-
actlv informed. 1t may be that the admins
tration of President BaeZ, which had yet year
and n half to run, wis offensive and intolerabla
though the world had not been so informed and
il NAV he that Or. Naveiro will make far
better chief of state, though Te have no assur
ance of the fact. Apparently the new govern
ment will he generally recognized. But the re-
grettable fact remniDs that the change has bean
effected bv abhorrent means and that another
mischievous precedent has been established.
As for Venezuela, it would scarcely be worth
while TO renew the tedious controversy over the
comparative courtesy and ethics of Castronian
and American dipIomacr, There Is probably

pRDpHET IN HARD LUCK

THE Charleston News and Courier" admits
that it missed its guesses badly in predicting
that neither South Carolina nor North Caro-
lima would send Bryan delegation TO Denver.
But it complains that political conditions don't
play fair with prophets In the Carolinas. We
never realized that prophecy was handicapped
there by the more than human perverseness
of what the political wise men call the logic
of the situation"
AS THE News and Courier" explains IT,
there was no show for an intelligent and hon
est forecaster at the South Carolina conven-
ton. 1t says:
Strange as II may SEEM a majority OF the
delegates elected by the several counties In
South Carolina the state convention at CO.
lumbia were instructed against instructions, but
for some reason which has never been explained
and which not even the delegates themselves
understand the delegation from this state to
Denver was instructed for Bryan by default.
to say
"The Columbia state" 1t appears from this,
must have been acting from blind, unreasoninS
instinct when IL declared that the delegates to
the convention were for Bryan and would in-
struct for him, and the verihcahon OF this
prophecy must be attributed to a fortuitous
interposition of Providence.
AS to North Carolina, THE News and Cou-
rier" quotes a statement from THE Charlotte
