SACRAMENTO, November II, 1889.
EDS. RECORD UNION: notice the follow
ing statement in an editorial in the Exam
liner of this date:
Most of the deaths so far have been due TO the
fact that wires carrying high tension currents
less ones, and that nnemen have been unable
to tell them apart If underground conduits
will not insure safety. why not paint az ddRgcr-
Gus trires red and string them on Isolated potes'
1 am impelled to write the following to
you, believing that you can find something
in it of use to your readers who are inter-
ested in the subject.
No electric wires were ever known to be
dangerous, electrically, until electric light
and power lines were strung, when it was
soon manifested through life sacrifices that
all electric wires were as dangerous as the
"unloaded gum"
Electric wires necessarily run in all sorts
of directions, somewhat resembling huge
net, and must, of course, cross over or I'M
der each other. The sagging from expa1-
sion, caused by heat and its own weight,
and contraction from cold often causes those
wires crossing courses to come together
and while the wires conducting high ten
sion or dangerous currents are heavily in
sulated to protect them from contracting
other metals and life, are easily cut through
by crossing wire. by the see-saw motion
the wind constantly gives to the larger one.
The uninsulated wire thus crossed imme-
diately becomes q thousand times more
dangerous than the high tension wire it is
getting its death dealing power from; be
cause those working with these wires ham
Gle all bare wires without fear.
a few days ago an electric call-bell wire
in the Postal Telegraph Office in this city
was fouled in the manner above spoken of,

OFFICIAL reports of teachers in the
Minneapolis schools show an alarming
state of facts concerning cigarette smoking
by children. In the North High School
200 out of the 800 boys smoke the cigar
cite, and seyenty-fve are confirmed in the
habit. In the Winthrop school 90 per
cent. of the boys smoke the paper poison
roll. and some of the confirmed smokers
are but 6 years of age. The Tribune of
that city declares that the same conditions
obtain in the remaining schools, and
names one, the Webster, in which the
official proofs that from so to rs per cent. of
the scholars use cigarettes, and the fact
is that many female children have also
acquired the habit. The parents in
Minneapolis are seriously alarmed over
this showing, and renewed efforts are to be
made to enforce the law forbidding the
sale of the article to minors. Minneapolis
is probably no worse than Sacramento or
any other California town or city. What,
then, do parents imagine would be the re-
suit of cigarette census among the child
rem of this city?

DULL DAYS IN PARIS.
Comments on American Folly in Picture
Buying.


Buying.
PARIS, November 18th. - st. Martin S
summer continues in all its glory. The
mornings are mild and hazy, bat the noon
sun comes out as in midsummer. There
has been perfect stampede of English and
Americans from Paris, and the boulevards
are once again in possession of the Parisians,
who are mainly discussing Boulanger's
political suicide.
Deputies are looking forward to their
Christmas holidays, while their electors are
content with the exhibition and the profits
that almost every one, directly or indirectly,
derive from it. A bright, cheerful and nom
political season seems TO be in store for us.
Even the anarchists have come to the con-
clusion that manifestations and demonstra-
tions are not worth candle.
Stephen Bourgeois, the well known art
connoisseur, was discussing Rembrandts
Angel Visiting the Shepherds" when be
was asked by your correspondent how
much it was worth. He said he had been
advised to hold it for 200, 900 francs, but
would sell it for $4,000.

Millet's painting may be worth $4,000
francs, but your compatriots paid exactly
half million more than its maximum
value. l have right to speak on the sub
iect, because for three years had the An

to get rid of it for 10000 francs. You

DIPLOMATIC PROMISES.
Alexander VIII Step Out and the Russian
Candidate Go In.

Canu1date TO In.
BERLIN, November 17th-The develop
ments of Bismarck's diplomatic promise
are to result in permanent accord between
Austria and Russia. The scheme restores
Russia's dominance in Bulgaria, Russia in
| return recognizing as definitive Austria s
possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Crispi has intimated to Bismarck that
the sanction of Italy might depend upon
the cession of Trentino by Austria, but
Count Kalnoky held the sacrifice of Tren-
tho impossible. The Innsbruck interview
brought the negotiations to a climax.
Emperor Francis Joseph consented to
leave Prince Ferdinand to his fate, and said
he would not oppose the Russian candidate
provided he was elected under the condi-
lions of the Berlin treaty. He practically
accorded the Gar free hand in Bulgaria,
short of Russian occupation. He declined
to consider the question of Trentino. The
Porte is ready as soon as it learns that Aus
tria and Russia have accepted Prince Bis
marck's mediation to send circular letter
to the signatory Powers denouncing the IL
legality of the present Government of Bull
garia.
If Count Kalnoky keeps faith with Bis
marck the attitude of the Vienna Cabinet
| towards Bulgaria must change. The d.
vergence between the Berlin and Vienna
policies has recently become marked. The
Bulgarian agent at Vienna has been semi
| officially recognized.
Lauderbank negotiated a new Bulgarian
loan, and the Austrian Consul at Sofia is
confident and advises Prince Ferdinand.
| The German Consul, on the other hand
did not even salute Ferdinand on meeting
him on the street. and completely ignores
him as the head of the Government.

ABANDON the scheme within the next two
years, England is less and less each year

Russia, as we have said, is on the eve of
repeating her Siberian exile laws. Why
then should the United States of America
adopt plan of punishment that older
nations, after centuries of trial, are aban.
doning? But even if desirable for us,
there are obstacles in the way that are
well-nigh insurmountable. We have very
few convicts committed from United States
Courts : we have no State offenses to pun
ish, political criminals are unknown to our
system. A penal colony, therefore, could
only be maintained by commitments
from State Courts. To settle upon sys-
TEN by which the States, as sovereignties,
could send out criminals in national
ships to colony to be supported at ma
tional expense, would be task of the ut
most difficulty, one that we do not believe
could be accomplished in harmony with
our system of State and Federal jurisdic-
tions

BRAZIL.

The Brazilian news remains much as at
first reported. That revolution in favor
of a republic has been undertaken is Ger
tain, but Just how far it has been success
full remains a question of uncertainty.
That the people have received the move
ment in practical quietude may be consid
cred ominous for the Emperor. Brazil
has long been considered ripe for change
of government, and it is therefore not i'm
probable that the absence of some of the
leading men of the army, navy and politi-
cal circles has been seized upon and re-
public declared. There is some substan-
tial reason for believing that the Emperor
Dom Pedro will not strenuously oppose
the revolutionists. He has been known as
the most liberal monarch of the earth, a
man who recognized the ability of the
people to rule, the unwisdom of an arbi-
trary monarchical government and the in
humanity of slavery. For twenty-five
years the abolition of slavery in Brazil has
been favorite theme with him, and that
he successfully accomplished it in 1888,
without the shedding of drop of blood,
stands to his credit as one of the most
statesmanlike and humane acts of history.
The people universally respect the EN-
peror, and it is therefore altogether proba-
BILE that were any personal danger to him
imminent that they would protect him
and his family. The Brazilians are not
warlike people, and least Of all is Dom Pc
dro warrior. 1t is wholly unlikely that
he will call to arms for the maintenance
of his throne. He is a man whose modest
ambitions have all been accomplished, and
whose attachment to the nation is unques-
toned. If, therefore, it turns out that the
revolution, which appears to have been
bloodless one is acquiesced in by the peo-
pie, he will probably gracefully submit
and retire upon his immense private for
tune to the seclusion of the life of citizen
of the republic or else emigrate to Portu-
gal and pass the remainder of his days in
the land of his nativity. 1t is possible
that the news at hand is exaggerated in
the interests of the revolutionists, and
that the revolt of Fonseca may be resisted,
but that Dom Pedro is the last of mon
archs in Brazil may be accepted as GER
tainty. Some of our contemporaries, and
among them so well-informed journal as
the San Francisco Bulletin, have fallen
into the error of stating that when Dom
Pedro shall have been finally overthrow,
that the last vestige of monarchy will have
vanished from the South American con-
tinent. Not so the Guiana of the Brit
ish and the Guiana of the Netherlands are
both under monarchical forms and are not
in any sense republican.
Since the foregoing was placed in type
news is at hand that the revolution is an
accomplished fact; that the republic has
been proclaimed, and that Dom Pedro has
sailed for Lisbon. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the Provisional Government has de-
clared that all contracts made by the
Imperial Government will be faithfully
kept, and no disturbance of national COM
pacts or engagements consistent with a
republic will be permitted.

OK the heels of the news that Russia is
about to abandon her Siberian exile sys-
tenn, comes the news that one of our
national legislators is about to revive in
Congress the proposition to make Alaska a
penal colony. There are scores of sound
reasons why such a suggestion should not
become law. The chief of these is that
penal colony is opposed to the spirit of
our institutions. 1t is unwise to propose
such scheme in the face of the fact that
most of the nations that commit to penal
colonies are DESTROYS of abandoning the
system, having discovered that If is I'M
economic, not reformatory, and that it
does not accomplish any of the ends sup
posed to have been in view when the sys-
