is thoroughly republican in sentiment Con-
slant was known early in life as an
enthusiastic follower Of Compte the
founder of the shool of positive
philosophy, and in 1871 he formed q postivist
club in Brazil. For some reason or ather Dom
Pedro, though himself a man of very liberal
ideas never lacked with favor upon Canstants 8
theories of government, and on more than one
occasion the philosopher was made to
feel the weight of the emperor's displeasure.
Constant is not snowy or brilliant man, but a
very capable and careful one, and his reputa-
tion is stainless. He is the leading spirit OF the
new regime, though not occupying the nominal
leadership.

BRAZILIAN MERCHANT DIscREDITs 1T.
ST. LOUIS, Nov l8.-Herm Baasch, one of
the largest coffee merchants in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, is in this city He was asked his opinion
regarding the revolution in Brazil and in the
interview said: II am not inclined to place
much credence in the report. nave just re-
ceived cablegram from Rio sent on Friday
and containing no news of the reported revo-
luton in Brazil. The thing is beyond my COM
prehension and / don't know what to make Of
il. When / left home last June the people
seemed to be satisfied and peacefully inclined
so far as politics was concerned. The emperor,
Dom Pedro is well liked by all the people, but
l know that his daughter Isabelle is universally
detested both by the masses and classes.
If the reports are well founded as to the al
legged revolution don't know whether it would
affect our commercial relations with other
countries or not The natives might possibly
burn the coffee warehouses in Rio and Santos,
but that is not likely, for the natural instincts
of the BraZilians are against jeopardizing COM
modities in that manner. The result Of an
outbreak may cause an advance being made in
the currency value in Rio, which, however,
may be offset by declination in exchange,
which is not improbable"
Mr.: Baasch thought the constitution of Brazil
was more liberal in its provisions than in any
country, and he thought the country approach
ing SO near to the ideas of republic that it
was indiscreet and unwise for the natives to
begin a revolution at this time.
