THE CASE OF BRAZIL.

Dom PEDRo's reply to the communica-
ton of the new government, informing him
of the overthrow of the empire, was at
once characteristic, manly and frank He
simply bowed to the will of his former sub
iects, as in less formal way he had nearly
always done, and announced that at once he
and his family would quit the land which he
had loved so well and set sail for Europe.
This was one of the things which the peo-
pie greatly desired and fully intended to
bring about, since DON PEDKo's daughter
has of late years been very unpopular and
an altogether Objectionable person. Their
departure effaces the last trace of royalty
from American soil, excepting Of course, in
Canada, where its continued existence is
manifestly only question of time
Brazil does not rank high among the ma
tons in the matter of population, cont ain
ing less than one-fourth of what we have in
the United States, or say fifteen millions,
of whom fully half million are Indians
not taxed" This gives it less than half
of the people that England or France con-
tains, about two thirds as much as Spain
and three-fourths as much as Portugal,
and yet it has great deal more area than
all of them combined. In this respect, it is
but slightly behind the United States,
being some 1900 miles in length from north
to south and about $500 miles in breadth
from east to west. This mighty expanse
Of territory would seem to Indicate q great
opening for explorations of all kinds and
the rapid and permanent investment of
capital. 1t has already over 5000 miles of
railroad and 10000 miles of telegraph, be
sides many other adjuncts of civilization in
abundance. Once there were a million or
more slaves in Brazil, but there are none
now, and in its new habiliments there Is
every reason to believe that the nation
will go forward with immense strides.

which is very important, that the state

more complete control of Idaho than they
now enjoy.
When the time comes for the admission
of Idaho to the union, and it will be wise to
elevate her to the dignified position OF a
state, there isn't newspaper in the whole
territory that will work harder, more
earnestly or with better effect for admis-

IT LOOKS very much as though lawyers
were standing in their own light when they
raise kick about defense fund.- in the
community. They must certainly know
that an accused person cannot be tried
without the assistance of counsel, and that
if he or his friends cannot raise the money
necessary to pay counsel, one or more of
the legal fraternity must do the work of
defense for nothing. Is it resisting the law
for an attorney to appear for person ac-
cused of crime, and if not, is it resisting the
law for such attorney TO be paid for his
services

FLOCt<ING BACK TO WORK.

London Strikers Return TO Their Old
flaces-Trouble Feared.
LONDON, Sept. l6.-Most of the strik-
ers resumed work this morning. 1t is
expected that work on dll the docks
viii be in full swing tomorrow. A
thousand unemployed dock labOrers are
waiting at the gates of the docks. They
threaten violence against the men who
were employed to take the places of
strikers and whom the directors of the
dock companies now refuse to dis
charge.
Much ill-ieeling exists between the
dock laborers and the "black legs "
the name applied to the men who took
the places of strikers, and the former
refuse to work with them. Several
encounters have already occurred be-
tween them. Many Of the dock
laborers protest that the leaders
of the strike had no right to agree
to the proposal that the strikers
should work hand in hand with the
"blacklegs." The situation is regarded
as being so serious that meeting of the
Joint docks committee, the conciliation
committee and the leaders of the strik-
ers has been called to convene immeGi-
ately at the Mansion House.
At the opening of the Old Bailey
court, to-day, the recorder In charging
the grand jury, rCiorred to the recent
strike in London. He said that though
a great number of men had been out Of
work for weeks, and had suffered great
privations, there was not a single case
on the calendar arising from the strike.
The peaceful behavior of the men, he
declared, was the subject for national
nrIIp.

FIVE MEN KILLED.
A Loss of Million ut Louisville, Ken



A fire which started on the night of
the 10Th in the store of Bamberger,
Bloom d Co., one of the largest whole
sale dry goods and notion houses in
Louisville, completely destroyed the
building and stock of that concern, in
volving a loss of nearly 81 900, 900 and
causing the death of five firemen, who
were buried under falling walls. For a
tlfne the adjoining property, including
two hotels, was threatened with de-
struction, and there was great excite
ment.
Ghe fire originated in Bamberger,
Bloom q Co.'S cellar, and Watchman
McGrath, who turned in the alarm, says
the whole cellar was aglow when he dis
covered ii. An explosion occurred soon
after, and a fireman just arrived was
knocked over by it, but not hurt.
A number of firemen were working
close TO the building when the. rear wall
fell in, burying at least six men in the
ruins. Five were soon taken out, dread
fully mangled and all dead.
A conservative estimate of the loss on
stock is $750,000. The building was a
double six-story, owned by the firm,
and valued at 81, 1000. The insurance
is placed in sums from $4,000 to So, 900,
distributed among nearly all companies
represented here.
The fire slowly spread both ways de-
stroying the following places: W. {.
Caye q Co., wholesale shoes; Louis
Graumanb d Co., wholesale shoes; J..
Bretzfelder q Co., wholesale hats, and
Baer's saloon. At 2 A. NJ. it WAS under

1t is remarkable to see how rapidly the

another one. The rat will sometimes
spring clear off all four feet and swipe
fly from the window to the ledge be-
