TRADE with Brazil promises "a to be

TRADE with Brazil promises to be very
largsin the near future. The Brazilian
press is giving much attention to the sub
ject, and makes q particular point Of leo
lures which Mr.. John Landesman has Been
delivering in Rio Janeiro on the Amazon
in its relations with the United States. The
desirability of encouraging trade was
dwelt upon at length by the speaker, and
some figures were given to show the posi-
bilities of trade. 1t j. .,ated that the i'm
ports and exports Of Rio amount in round
numbers to$1oo,ooo.O0O in value annually.
England has had the bulk of this trade,
amounting at times to so,0oo000 year,
but since 1872, Eugland's proportion has
steadily declined, the decline amounting to
IS per cent. The lecturer gave it as his
opinion that the trade with the United
States, though not comparatively insight
ficant, might be increased to 800, ,OOO, ,OOt
year. 1t is known that Dom Pedro takes
the hea'tiest interest in the growth Of trade
between the countries. IA R..t Pc. P

Pennsylvania State Teachers Association
held ito annual meeting at Reading few
days ago and discussed number of educa.
t'onal topics. One of the ESSAYS which
was read on the subject of "Compulsorv
Education, ,"snd the author took the ground
that the state has no right to control the
education Of indiyiduals or familie, be-
cause i 10 an invasion of reserved natural
rights, and hostile to The spirit ofAmeri-

right, then i- accomplishments offilth,

1T will be more difficult matter than

the sympathies ofthe Eastern people in

Chinese. The statement of Minister Sew

the effect that the imperial government a,
Pskin is spsthetic on the subject, neither
encouraging nor discouraging immigration,
and his openly expressed opinion that the
fear entertained by some that the Chinese

The Indian War of this summer is sups
posed to be, and probably is over, so lar as
actually fighting with considerable bodies
Of hostiles is concerned Whether it shall
be followed or not py other disturbances
elsewhere depends 10 great extent on
whether the Indians receive in time The
supplies tardIy granted them by Congress.
Two things should bs noted about the war
with the Bannocks; first that it was begun
BY starving Indians, or Indians who were
given an excuse for revolt BY, threatened
starvation; and second, that they have beer
prevented frem doing any great amount O
damage BY the promptness and vieor with
which they lhsve been followed 'by tht
troops under command of General Howard
If as much care had been taken in feedins
as is fighting them, there would have beer
no war.

THERE is something really alarming in
the frequency Of the attempt to wreck
railroad trains. 1t is difficult to under,
stand the motives which prompt such dia-
bolical conduct. Ifthe trains which have
already been wrecked, and those which
have been threatened, had contained valu-
ables ofa special character, of which the
wretchss who placed the distractions or
the track hoped to possess themselves, tn.
fact would, in measure, serve as an ex,
PLANTATION. Bat there was nothing of tb,
kind, and hence the mystery as to the mo.
tive.

THE Greenback movement, it is said
like the granger movement in previous
years, seems to be very strong; doubtless
1t has many adherents: yet the greenback
labor party is not likely to elect more than
one or two Congressmen in any State thl
fall, and not more than dozen in all tn,
States, and it is doubtful if the organiza-
tions will hold together after the fall cleo

Catholic Insurance Unisu.

EDITOR LEAvENwoRTa TINES The
above named Union, organized at Leaven-
worth in the month of November, 1875,
has now one hundred and sixty-six insured,
and the same amount of dollars in its treas
ury for the benefit OF the widow and or
phans OF deceased member; or in case
Of a single man, the benefit TO Le used as
his will may direct.
Rev. james O'ReilIy, of Leavenworth, is
President and Rt. Rev. Bishop Fink is
treasurer, sufficient surety that the money
will not be misapplied.
ANY member of a Catholic society who
being in good health, between 81 and 50
years OF age, may Join the Union by pay
ing to his local pastor one dollar and fifty
cents, and an assessment Of one dollar each
time 4 member dies.
Copies of constitution, Circulars, etc have
been sent to the reverend clergy all over
the State, and they can give you all the
necessary information.
Outside of Leavenworih the Union has
members in Atchison, Wyandotte and
Salina. Why mott members in the one
hundred and one towns throughout the
State. We believe that the prudent man
who loves his family, will not stand be-
tween them and the benefit they shall re-
i've from this Union in case Of his death.
1t is an easy and certain plan for help
ing the helpless in their hour Of need, and,
Mr-Editor. remembering your generosity on
Many occasions, We have reason to hope
t1aI your good paper and the press Of
Aansas. will bring this Insurance Union to
tne nouee of whom it may concern.
