Here are large numbers of slaves and
the colored people are plentiful in the
streets. The sales OF slaves on private
terms, or by auction, are advertised in
the daily papers. YET the institution is
fast becoming extinct. In three provinces
Of the empire it has ceased and the effect
Of recent legislation is TO put an end TO it
in a few years. The way these slave
women, in the streets and about their
work, smoke cigars and pipes is notice
able. The emperor, Dom Pedro, IS
anxious to see the freedom of all slaves
during his reign, and he is bending the
forces of Legislation to that end. A great
problem lies before the empire with
reference 10 these emancipatcd people.
Some curious results have already
ensued. 1t is seen that the cost of coffee
raising is TO be increased, and that the
enforced toll will be poorly replaced by
free labor. This was to be expected.
Then the effect is seen in the diminished
consumption of "jerked beef from the
La Plata valley. The demand has fallen
off very largely and the diminution is
proportionate to the increased freedom
of the laborers. And, indeed one cannot
blame these poor people for e~schewing
this combination OF salt and muscle-a
thin, dried and often offensive substance,
out of which all the flavor of beef has
gone. 1t is found tnat the product is
useful to feed slaves, but it is little
wanted by anybody else.
Then, too, these freedmen in this soft
and tropical climate a live on a few
things, the gift Of kind nature, chief
among these being the banana, which.
in the shape of a half dozen forms of
cooking, as well as raw, is a favorite fruit
of the natives. L look to see the price
of Rio coffee much more in a few years

A BILL providing for the appointment
of an attorney general Is now before the
Legislature. Il is evident that there are
not offices enough to satisfy the we'll
known greed of the Republican Office
seekers, and the legislature, therefore, is
called upon to provide a few more places
for needy fayorites of the governor and
the manipulators of the machine. An
attorney general on the governor $ staff,
well secured in his position by iron-clad
legislation, supplied with campaign funds
and an annual nilroad pass, would be OF
the greatest service 10 the grand old
party in future political campaigns.

Il. It is said that our fathers and
husbands, and brothers. and sons,
would be terribly shocked to have
associated with them the mothers, and
wives and sisters and daughters of our
country at the polls of election and
for them to mingle in the violence,
and vulgarity, and roudyism of such a
rufflanly crowd could have no other
tendency than to corrupt their morals
to an extent that they could not
endure.
Query Is this anything less than
tactic acknowledgement of mans
lncapacity to administer a government
by himself, and that it is not good for
man to be alone in these great political
concerns of the nation that the i'm
mensely purifying and elevating
influence of women is much needed as
a most healthful restraint to renoyate
the political system of government,
and that the great mistake has been
IN attempting to get along without
her.
