Beyond the abolition of slavery looms
up in Brazil the question OF labor. There
can be but one solution of the problem,
and that is immigration. How to attract
this is now absorbing the minds of the
statesmen. The labor of the liberated
slaves and their descendants will never
be sufficient for the needs OF the country.
They are by nature the most lazy and
worthless laborers in the world, and have
n disposition to leave the plantations and
flock to the cities of the sea coast. There
they just work enough to keep them
selves alive, and as long as they car get
raw farina and casasch are happy.
One great drawback to immigration to
Brazil is the bad reputation for health
which the country has in Europe. The
northern seaport towns are undoubtedly
unhealthy, but in the south of the empire
and in the interior the climate is as
healthful as could be wished. Still, the
horror with which yellow fever is re-
garded and the difficulty of making i'm
migrants understand the vast size of the
empire and its consequent variety of eli
mates, render the work of attracting
them more difficult. The Argantines
W their great prosperity to the con-
slant tide of immigration which is low
ing to their shores, and the Brazilians
claim that argentine agents abroad omit
no opportunity or scruple Mt no means
to divert immigrants from Rio to Buenos
Ayres.-New York Tribune.

lr Is scarcely credible that any consid-

United States a loan of $40, 900, 900 for
the purpose of building up their shattered
city. If the report to that effect, which
has been variously commented on by the
press. should prove true, it establishes
beyond doubt the demoralizing effect of
earthquakes. In no community in the

Prof Adolf Seeman, the son OF the late
Baron Seeman, the c%onjurer, and himself
a magician of no small note, is in the
city. Among the property inherited by
him from his father Is "A curious gold ring
which he constantly wears upon his FIN
ger. IL was purchased by the late baron
many years ago in Sweden at the sale OF
the household and personal effects of an
old countess who lived with a female SER
want alone in her castle. She had no rel
atiyes, and no one save these TWO women
had ever entered the castle within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. The
ring eventually passed into the hands Of
young Seeman, who remained in igno-
rance OF its origin or value until about n
year ago. While In Texas at that time he
received a copy of The Gartenblaube, the
German monthly. which contained a
wood cut of his ring, the original Of
which, the paper said, was in the posses
sion of a German countesss. 1t was spoken
of rs the wedding ring OF Martin Luther,
and the article remarked that the great
reformer had had two rings. duplicates of
each other, made for his wedding. One
OF these he gave to his wife and the other
he wore himself. "Where,' asked the pa
per, 'fs the second rlngi' Overjoyed at
the news Seeman wrote to Germany and
was Immediately offered a large sum OF
money for his treasure, which, however,
he determined to keep.
The ring In question Is curious enough
to attract attention anywhere. 1t is fully
half an inch wide at the top, and much
wider than the ordinary ring at the bot
tom. A fine ruby surmounts the crests
and divides the designs. The ring is
pierced by interstices which divide the
various emblems upon it. One side of the
ruby thus outlined is n perfect representa-
ton Of the cruciixion. On the left Of the
cross Is a scourge; on the right the head
of a Roman soldier. On each side of these
designs, forming the outer edges, are two
spears. Below the cross are the three
nails which were driven into the Lord,
and below these are the three dice with
which the lots were cast for his clothing,
and above the read of the Savior, plainly
visible, is the inscription: 81. N. r. L. On
the other side of the ruby is the represen-
tation of a pillar from the temple, the lad
der which was placed against the cross,
the rope with which He was bound, n
sword and the hammer with which the
nails were driven in. All these designs
are perfectly visible to the naked eye, and
are executed with wonderful delicacy and
natural effect. There is no doubt of the
genuiness of the ring, and Professor See
man certainly has a valuable and inter
esting relic of the great reformer. Chi

THE MAIN QUESTIONS.

Mere party politics goes for little ia ter
ritorial affairs and no special injury would
result If it went for even less. With the
general questions OF policy upon which the
two great parties differ, we have absolute
ly nothing to do-they concern us no
more, at present, than do the privileges of
parliament. Party organization, how
ever, is as necessary here as elsewhere for
beneficial ends, as well as with a view to
the ultimate and greatly altered attitude
in which the people will stand toward the
practical politics of the day. Then, too,
so far as Democracy is concerned the car
dinal principles of its creed apply equally
to every social organization capable of
formation by civilized man, and these
principles, made a common ground of
union, gain a strength and effect from the
support of harmonious organization which
they would not otherwise receive. The
greatest individual liberty possibly consist
ent with general safety; home rule for all
communities; a%ntagonism to class lcgisla-
ton and especial hostility to s~ectionalism
these principles can be made to govern
legislation, and these are the leading
tenets OF Democracy, apart from all ques-
tons Of policy. Besides, the supreme
principle of fidelity to the strict letter of
the constitution makes the Democrats of
n territory members in a practical sense OF
the great party as whole. Otherwise. if
by organized effort the Democrats can aid
in securing a lust administration of local
affairs, and legislative measures that will
stand the test Of time by promoting the
general good of the people, they can in all
other respects afford to leave the party to
take care of itself.

OF A municipal reform party in San
francisco, which advocates a limitation of
taxation to a certain percentage on a fixed
valuation. irrespective of actual needs or
economic considerations, the Philadelphia
Times thinks it all very well il San Fran
cisco regards itself as a finished city and
does not intend to grow any more. The
same reflection might be made with equal
force upon the necessity or propriety of
the recent limitation sought to be imposed
by act of congress upon the powers of the
municipalities of Wyoming. and that
without effective protest on the part of
her delegaie.
