Dom Pedro's Personality.
New York Herald.


Nearly fifty years ago Dom Pedro. a
youth Of 16, was crowned He has not
been every inch a king, but rather every
inch a gentlemen Not of the stuff Of
which great and successful rulers are
made-though he has shown royal mettle
in several emergencies-he finds the
duties Of the throne irksome, shrinks
from the formalities, the pomp
the glare of state occasions, and
has always been more than half
sorry that fate insisted upon his ascend.
ing a throne. He is especially fitted to
adorn private life. OF commanding
fgure-six feet three in height-he is too
fond of literary pursuits to make an am.
bilious ruler. He is a gifted linguist,
speaking with more or less fuency nearly
all European tongues, and by natural
proclivities a student is happier in the
well stored library than in the council
chamber and more interested in the prob
lens Of science than in the vexed ques-
tions Of government.

In IS not so much a thirst for knowl.
edge Of the empire and of its people
which prompts the Prince "Cuffs and
Collars the s5n of the Prince Of
Wales-to visit India, as a desire to
avoid the great London scandal. The
scandal is gradually coming to the
United States and soon it viii be known
all ever the world. The efforts made to
suppress it are not only futile but they
viii have directly contrary effect.
Public sentiment is the correction Of
social and other crimes. The newspapers
make public sentiment by publishing the
crimes. The fault is in suppressing
such crimes and in allowing the criminal
to appear among men and women as a
sound, virtuous and moral person. 1t is
the right Of people to know the bad from
the good and when a man or woman 50
eersteps the hounds Of good morals as to
be unfit for social recognition it Is the
duty Of the papers to note the facts
The higher tho social or political position,
the greater the necessity that the com
munity should know it, The news
papers do more to prevent crime and TO
protect the community from criminals
than any and all other engines of civili-
zation. In this case. IL Cuffs and
Collars has been guilty Of shockingly
immoral practices. the English people
should know it for lie is in the line Of
succession aud might some day be heir to
the throne Of England. The day has
gone by when such things can be con
doned. Public sentiment now demands
that public men shall be moral, or at
least. not shockingly and notoriously
immoral

noM PEDRO. late Emperor Of Brazil
has gracefully yielded his sceptre and
sailed for Lisbon His salary is con.
tinued, however, by the revolutionary
party. Ehe most notable feature Of the
BraziHsnimpeIial overthrow Is the fact
that now the whole Of the western hem
ispherejs under republican governments.
Dom Pedro was a wise and progressive
ruler and he was not anxious
to remain on the throne Only
last August his son in-law made
the startling announcement that the Em-
peror was ready to retire any moment If
the people expressed themselves in favor
Of a republic His successor, whatever
his title may be, will have to pursue an
ideal governmental. policy in order tt
please a people which grew dscontentet
with Dom Pedros liberal and democrati,
rule.

EVEN the friendly Republican Ameri.
can Of Philadelphia cannot allow the
event of the Pan American advertising
scheme to pass unnoticed. II says:
That member Of the Cabinet should
thus utilize the presence Of representa-.
tives Of foreign powers TO aid him Ia sell

well as an indignity inflicted on them.

this, but il the President he's a proper
respect for his own administration he
will give his Postmaster-G General the
alternative either of divorcing his polit

the two cannot be connected without q
sacrifice of the national dignity before

That is all well and good SO far as it
gees, but it does not go far enough The
evil is in having Mr.. Wanamaker in the

The RevoIutlon Exneeted.

Washington Post.
Thoroughout the countries Of South
America the people have for many years
looked forward to the day when Brazil
would become q republic. They have
thought Of such change as connected
with the abdication or death Of the pres
ent Emperor, Dom Pedro, but do not
believe there could have been found two
weeks ago one dozen intelligent men
throughout South America, -outside OF
Brazil, who would have given IL as his
opinion that Dom Pedros country would
be Republic 50 soon. They have had
for number Of months serious trouble
over the ministry, and the changes that
have been made in that way have prob.
ably unsettled the government and made
it possible for the Republicans to take
control, but it is yet TO be seen whether
they are strong enough to hold it.

Another picture is presented by this
revolution aud one to be pondered
thoughtfully. With Brazil republic
the whole Western Hemisphere south Of
the st. Lawrence. is republican. The
world win then be equally divided, one
hemisphere illustrating the advantages
of monarchy and the other those Of
popular sovereignty. The globe will be
split in halves, and it seems odd that
fate or Providence should have arranged
affairs in that way-here the people and
thrones there. A rivalry between politi-
cal ideas will spring up, the result Of
which no prophet can forecast; contest

THERE is no pretense, now, that the
tariff benefits the workingman. The
disasters to all the protected industries
show that it does not always protect the
industries themselves. It simply enables
the manufacturer to demand higher
prices and pocket greater profits. The
mastery workman, Powderly, speaking
for the orders Of workingmen, said last
week that the tariff brought only greater
burdens for the workingmen, that it was
no relief and no benefit to them, what
ever. President Eliot. the master
scholar Of Harvard University.
and Professor Sumner. the master
scholar Of Yale College. say the same
thing President Harrison, an Indiana
Office seeking beneficiary, and Andrew
Carnegie, a pecuniary beneficiary, say
that the tariff is laid for the benefit Of
the American workingmen. The Supreme
Court Of the United States said, that
money taken from the pockets Of the
wbele people to add to the profits of a
class was 'legalized robbery" If a man
has not honest discrimination to discern
thAediiference between 'protectionism
and. tariff for revenue himself, he
might study the case as presented BY
the characters and aims Of the advo

people TO understand why there should be
any reason for revolt against his beneh

New Ofk Tribune.
But it does not yet appear how far the
recent slave owners in Brazil have given
form or force TO the revolutionary move
nent Of which brief kilograms give in
formation. The report that the revolu-
/ tionists favor q republic may only mean
that they desire to get rid Of the strong
personal influence Of the ruling family,
and especially Of the aged Emperor,
who has been the real head Of all
progressive movements in Brazil and the
most liberal leader Of the Liberal party
But the final act of emancipation last
year has brought great industrial mis-
fortunes upon many Of the former own
ers. whose claims for compensation were
refused by the Chamber of Deputies, and
the more recent endeavor to help them
through by means of considerable gov.
ernment loan does not seem to come in
time to prevent irreparable disaster to a
great many. AS the original Act Of
Emancipation provided for compensation,
the refusal as to the remaining half mil.

probable that the popular dissatisfaction
proceeds from resistance TO an arbitrary
endeayor to establish completer liberty.
The emancipation of the slaves, begun
by Dom Pedro and hastened to compile
tion by his daughter, lost the good will Of
the aristocracy Of his empire. 1t brought
with it much personal hardship and in
convenience for the great coffee
planters. Added to this trouble in the
present iuncture was the attempt Of the
government to resume specie payment
and to put its finances upon stronger
basis, thus creating serious business

bed. Shortly after he was awakened by
his brother Nicholas, who heard screams
coming from an adjoining room occupied by
three sisters and three little brothers.
They ran to the doer and found the room
mass of flames. Smoke and fire were
ascending the stairway and the boys es-
capped by jumping through the window.
They reached the ground seriously
cut by glass and but scantily clad. One
attempted to enter the house on the ground
floor, where the father, mother and two
children slept, but were driven back by the
flames that enveioped the building. 1t was

gathered, to save the inmates They were

searching party went over the rooms and
discovered eleven bodies Distinguished
only by the size of the bones. They were
gathered in sleigh-boX and deposited in
the public hall.
There is no reliable information as to
how the fire started. Theodore Gross, ir.,

Dom PedrO's Sorrow.

OPoRTo, Dec. 29.-Dom Pedro has re-
ceived many kilograms of coincidence on
the death of his wife. Among them was
one from Queen Victoria.
The last words of the ex-Empress were,
81 regret that my children and grandchild-
bless them for the last time. Alas! Bra
I'll, Brazil, that beautiful country; 1 can
not return there
Dom Pedro rose early this morning and
attended mass. He was greatly detected
and so weak that his doctors were obliged
to support him. Much anxiety is felt for
his condition.
When Dom Pedro arrived at the bedside
of his dead wife he knelt and kissed her
forehead. He appeared unable to move
and did not speak for twenty minutes.
Then he said: 81 have experienced the
most bitter trial that God could inf1ict up
on me. Her faithful and affectionate com
panionship has sustained me for forty-six
years. Gods will be done" Then MOTTO
ing his wifes eyes still open he composed
himself and exclaimed: SIS it possible
those dear, kind eyes will never again
brighten when they see mea" Having
closed the eyelids, he reveIently kissed
them. He then asked to be alone, and so
remained for long time, after which he
became calm and asked the attendants to
keep all quiet until the Lisbon fetes were
over. The news had, however, been sent
everywhere.
The body was embalmed to-day and
transferred to Chapelle Ardente. The in
terment will be in the Pantheon.

The remark by Sexton at farewell ban
quet in Dublin last night has caused some
comment in political circles In toasting
is generally gone over with as little grace
as possible by the Nacionalists on such oc-
casians, Sexton said: 1.-THE Nationalist
will vote for royal grants so long as
her majesty does not refuse to
sign measures enacted by the
people" This may be taken in double
sense, as indicating loyalty to the crown
and as at limiting at fear that the Queen
may some day abuse her prerogrative by
negativing the will of the people as ex-
pressed through parliamentary enactment
the favor of Irish self rule.
There is serious shortage of coal in
Belgium, owing to labor troubles in the

messed of the government of coal produc-
ing country sending abroad for its coal

according to the statements of State Audi

state auditor to reporter, ''came to South

himself as agent for the Citizens Life as
ISOLATION of Cherokee, Iowa. He immedi-
ately proceeded to organize the state

solicit life insurance for his com

farmers and laboring classes. An
attractive feature of the plan was to issue
a conioint policy covering both man and
wife and in some instances an entire fam
lily. Business came pouring in at an enor-
nous rate, notes or cash being taken for
premiums from policy holders. When a
note was taken, it was sold at whatever
figure the local bank was willing to pay
for it. The work had been fraudulent
