Mr.. J. s. Miller, the newly appointed COM
missioner of internal revenue, is a very pop

The people Of his state, of all parties, speak
well of him. He was born in Cabell county,
W. Va, about 81 years ago. He is descended
from an old family Of the Virginia valley,
and his ancestors figured conspicuously in
the revolution. Mr.. Miller was educated
at Beach Grove academy, Ashland, KY.
He is lawyer by profession, but
has always taken an active in
terest in politics, and when but 81 years
of age was elected clerk of the circuit

elected secretary of the stsse senate, and in
1876 he was elected state auditor In 1880
he was reelected, and his last term expired
on the day President Cleveland was in

Robert McLane, who has been appointed
by the president minister to France, is by
education a statesman and admirably fitted
for diplomatic station. His family, the
McLanes of Maryland, are among the first
families in an honorary way in the United
States. Allen McLane was distinguished
revolutionary officer. His son Louis repre-
sented Maryland in congress for ten years
prior to 1897, when he was chosen senator.
He was minister to England under Gen.
jackson, and afterward secretary of state till
June, 1884. Robert, the present leading
representative of the family possesses in a
marked degree the talents of his ancestors:
he has taken an active part in the politics of
his state, filling acceptably every position to
which he has been chosen.

EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY,

1t is expected that slavery will be eXtin
guished in Brazil by 1902. In 1871 policy
of gradual emancipation was inaugurated i'm
a legislative declaration that all children Of
slaves born after that date should be free,
and should be cared for by the master of
the mother to certain age, and afterward
by the state. In 1873 legislative act
created an emancipation fund from certain
classes of taxes, and this fund has been
largely increased by private contributions.
In 1884 the province of Rio Grande do Sui
decreed the emancipation of a certain pro-
portion of the slaves each year, and the
provinces of Ceara and Amazonas abol-
ished slavery entirely, so that the number
of slaves has decreased from 1,5O0, 900 in
1884, to less than LOCO, 900 at this
time. A scheme has been presented
by the new cabinet to the cham
Der Of deputies, by the provisions of
which slavery is to cease in every case
as soon as the slave has completed his
65th year. As there are no slaves in Brazil
under Is years this would fix the absolute
limit of slavery at the year 1885. But m-
der the provisions of the same bill the
emancipation fund is to be largely increased
by new taxes and loans, and from this fund
shareholders who give freedom to their
slaves are to be compensated. An impOr-
tant feature Of the measure is that slaves
are to decrease in value 6 per cent. on the
original value every year, so that it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the whole fund will
be expended each year. According to a
calculation on this basis the friends of
emancipation figure that at the end of
seventeen years there will be no slave wait
ing for his manumission. They hope that
the movement will become so popular that
even the shareholders will join i'm scheme
which will attain the results more quickly,
and that before the close of the present
century the last spark of slavery will be
eXtinguished forever from the American
continent.

The yiscon.in Central,

The Chicago Tribune says that the iSSu-
ance of articles of incorporation to the
Wisconsin Central Railway company at
Springfield Friday to construct line from
Chicago in northwesterly direction through
Cook and Lake counties to the Wisconsin
state line, also to Elgin and other points
west of Chicago, is believed to be an indi-
cation that the company really means to
carry out its threat TO build line from Mil
waukee to Chicago so as to secure direct
line from St. Paul and Ashland to Chicago.
The present eastern terminus of the Wis
eonsin Central is at Schleisingerville, Wis,
forty miles north of Milwaukee. 1t has a
contract with the Milwaukee & st. Paul to
use the latter's track from Schleisingeryille
to Milwaukee. Since the completion of its
extension 10 st. Paul the Wisconsin Central
has been anxious to make contract with
the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul to use the latter's
tracks also from Milwaukee to Chicago.
Negotiations to this end have been going on
for some months without arriving at con-
clusion, the Milwaukee Il st. Paul giving
as its reason for not concluding such con-
tract that it could not furnish the terminal
facilities at Chicago demanded by the Wis
consin Central. The main reason, how
ever, is no doubt the desire to keep
the Wisconsin Central out of Chi
cago as long as possible, be-
cause it would become a dangerous
competitor for the st. Paul traffic. The
Wisconsin Central has for some time past
threatened to build an independent line to
Chicago If the Milwaukee d st. Paul re-
manned stubborn and if the Northwestern
Traffic association refused to recognize 1t.
twas net believed. however, that the Wis
consin Central would carry out this threat,
as it would be no easy task to secure the
money at this time required for the building
of such line. Everything indicates, how
ever, that the company is in earnest, and
that it really means to build. 1t will find
no great difficulty in securing an entrance
into the city, it being generally understood
that the right-of-way recently granted to
the Chicago 81 Great Western by the COM
mon council to come into the city from the
western limits to the south branch of the
river was to provide for the Wisconsin
Central and Mr.. Hinckley's Chicago, St
Louis Il Western road an independent en-
trance and suitable terminal facilities. Still,
there are number of railroad people, anC
among them the officials of the Milwaukee
& ST. Paul, who claim that the filing Of
articles of incorporation by the Wisconsin
Central is simply game of bluff, to force
| the Milwaukee Il st. Paul to come to terms
! They point to the fact that the incorporation:
are parties whom nobody know, and thai
none of the Wisconsin Centraps present Of
ficers are connected with the new enter
prise, as confederation of their belief.

ONE RASCAL TURNEDN.

Ever since President CLEVELAND ap-
pointed eX-Gov. MOVES of Ohio as one of
the Union Pacific railroad commissioners
the Democratic papers of the country have
been calling the attention of the president
to the fact that the Republicans rewarded
Mr.. MOVES for his services in stealing the
electoral vote of Florida with first-class
foreign mission. There is large number of
respectable Republicans in the country who
have received no recognition from this
administration and who are capable of
making as good railroad commissioners as
Gov. MOVES. As long as the president
was in search of a Republican to ill the
place it is most singular that he should
have dropped down on one, who, of all
other living men, must be most obnoxious
to the honest sentiment of the con-
try. And it is particularly strange
that such an appointment should have
been made while the sage of GreystOne
still lives-the man who was the great cen
trail figure in that episode of our nations
history. No blacker crime ever disgraced
the annals of any country than the theft OF
the presidency in 1876. And it is hard fol-
Democrats TO comprehend how Democratic
administration could so soon forget the his
tory of that crime as TO honor one of IT.
prime accessories with a responsible Office
under the government 1t is due from the
president to the Democratic party, at least
TO say what influences were brought to beal
to induce such an infamous appointment.

DIAzAsAFNANc1FR.

MeXico's finances being at low ebb the
Mexican congress admitted its inability to
grapple with the problem of an empty
treasury, so it clothed President DIAZ with
full power to treat the situation as he saw
tit. 1t is to the credit of the Mexican presi-
dent that he is better financier than. the
whole Mexican congress. President DIAZ
has taken short cut and brings the eX-
penses of government right down to the
revenue basis. His first movement was to
curtail the salaries OF all government
officials. including his own. The revenues
available for government purposes were
subject to large subsidy discounts for the
benefit of railroad companies and other
investors. But President DIAz has cut
right through contracts, agreements and
legislative ensctments, by issuing decree
funding outstanding subsidy certificates
and other floating obligations in a
new loan. He has issued another
decree which provides for the refunding of
all the old bonds at lower rates of interest,
except those of the MAMMALIAN regime,
which are not taken into the account at all.
He has weeded out claims and obligations
and scaled down debts and interest until il
doesn't take much money 10 run the Mexi-
can government. 1t will be observed that
DIAz has fashioned his financial policy
very much after that which prevails In the
state of Virginia. 1t is rather a queer
feature in republic TO see the president
invested with powers of absolute sover.

THE DUKE OF CtTNIBERLAND.

The unsuccessful contest which the Duke
of Cumberland has waged for the success
sion to the Duchy of Brunswick recalls the
unfortunate history of his family since the
crown of Hanover has been separated from
that of Great Britain. AT the ascension
of Victoria in 'S7, the Salique law being in
force in Hanover, that kingdom fell to the
lot of ERNST AUGUST, Duke of Cumberland.
His reign was vexed with constitutional
wrangles and connections, and when, in
81, he died. his only son became George V.
This monarch man of noble traits and
lofty aims-toOk the part of Austria in the
war that terminated with the crushing de-
feat of that power at Sadowa. Prussia
visited upon the Austrian allies a terrible
punishment; and, obliterating the kingdom
OF Hanover from the map Of Europe, an
neXed its territories. Now the late many
named Duke of Brunswick AUGUST LUD-
WIG WILHELM MAMMALIAN FREDERICK
being childleSs, and the last member of the
| elder GUELPHIC line, the next heir TO the
duchy is the Duke of Cumberland, the
representative of the younger line. But
the present status of political affairs in
OSludug ploSluuCo HIS dCCcSSlOn. nc
HOhenzollem could scarcely tolerate
the hostile son of the discrowned
king of Hanover upon the throne
of a dukedom that is now an inte-
grail part of their dominion. 1t was ru-
mored that the emperor was not averse TO
recognizing him as Duke of Brunswick if
he would renOunce all claims to Hanover
and acquiesce in its absorption into Prussia
This he sternly refused TO do, and will in
consequence lose the dukedom as well.
Not dissimilar was the refusal of the late
COmte de Chambord to exchange the
white flag for the tricolor, though the ex-
change would have won him the throne of
France. The male line Of the GUELPHs.
once the proudeSt and most powerful sover-
eigns of Europe, is thus excluded from
its home land. BISMARCK, moreover,
is now so disquieted because there were
found in the Bundesrath three supporters
of the claims Of the English duke in def
ance of his imperious will, that he proposes
to introduce a bill into parliament for the
exclusion of all alien born heirs from the
succession to German municipalities.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-07-10

greater divergence than in the mere form
of government. The people in America
and in England conceive that the govern
ment and the state exist for the sake of the
people and not the people for the sake of
the state. On the continent of Europe
a different idea prevails. 1t is what
Mr.. FREDERICKsEN denominates ''the
old classical idea" that the state is the high
est in existence, that the happiness of the
individuals, even of the great majority,
has to give way TO the supposed interests
of the state. Modern Prussia is built prac-
tically on this idea while United Italy is
the outgrowth of the American-English
conception. Speaking of the contest III the
Scandinavian countries over these two ideas
Mr.. FREDERICKsEN says:
In no other part Of practical politics is this
difference in the fundamental political view
of greater significance than concerning the
military organization. Practically this is a
more important difference than that between
the republican and the monarchical form, that
the United States do not demand any consid-
cradle service or payment of taxes for mill
tary purposes. Neither the States nor Canada
have virtually any standing army or any
navy. There are other reasons why people
are happier in America than in Europe. but
one is, that they do not have to give some of
their best years and large part of all their
earnings to the sustaining of the military
power, even i'm time of peace. England, with
its grand Asiatic and colonial empire. cannot
dispense with its army and navy, but it pays
its soldiers, and military CONSUMPTION can as
little be thought of there as in America.
Now, if anything is characteristic of the
democratic and liberal parties who are in the
ascendancy in the Scandinavian countries,
then it is their preference for this American
and partly English system. They are not I'M
willing to grant burdens in time of danger,
and they will then probably be still more will
ing to give life and blood than to give money;
but they are absolutely opposed to heavy
military expenses in time of peace. These
parties of peasant farmers may, as we have
formerly mentioned, still have too much of
ignorance and prejudice, and too little of the
lofty ideas and the high morals of the edu-
Gated classes; but they are undoubtedly right,
as well, on the whole, in their demand for a
| simple and economical administration as
specially in their refusal of costly armaments
of only little practical use for their small
! countries. There are some differences in the
three countries, but the tendency is every
where the same.
