las Verdict on the Brazilian Resolution.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
MADRID, Dec. O. BY cable to the N. Y.
World. Queen Isabella being asked what
she thought of the Brazilian revolution
said yesterday: "Decidement, lie bon Dieu
nest plus de notre cote. No matter what
monarch now does, it lays him as an exile
on foreign land. If he is good natured and
liberal, he encourages restlessness to break
out; if he is severe in depressing sedition,
his harshness is made pretext for revolu-
ton. Do what he may or turn where he
will, he is sure to be beaten. Spain is
quite because her sons are chivalrous and
respect the young widow whom they know
to be doing the best she can. Dom Pedro
was an ideal monarch. Nevertheless, revo-
luton swept him away. But what is very
rare is this, that those who dethroned him
wishes him well and speak of him and treat
him handsomely
The ex-Emperor has decided to spend
winter at the villa of the Duchess de la
Tour Marbourg, at Cannes, lady who
and who feels her kindness when Dom
Pedro was so i'll last winter.
The Portuguese government intends to
show by its conduct after the definite es-
tablishment of the republic of Brazil that
it desires to respect the right of that nation
to select its own form of government. 1t
also desires to continue the past cordial
relations between the two countries. Many
Monarchial and Republican politicians of
Portugal are convinced that an imperial
restoration is impossible in Brazil.

What Hynes Says of the Irish-Belgians Depu-
ties Create Scene-Twelve Days from
YOkohama-COpper.

! ST. LOUIS, Dec 6-This morning Pow
derby, Wright and Beaumont, representing
the Knights of Labor, met. The demands of
the committee of the Farmers and Labor
ers; union and federation were,agreed upon
1t was agreed that the Farmers should ap-
point a legislative committee of two, to
act in conjunction with the legislative
committee of the Knights at Washington,
to secure legislation in accordance with
the views of both bodies. The officers of
the two organizations will form central
council. The various Farmers bodies have
agreed upoe plan of consolidation, which
will, as soon as the necessary reference
can be had to the various state organiza-
tlonS result in bringing about an absolute
union. 1t is probable that in time the
Knights will also join the Farmers in act
ual union.
The National Farmers alliance adopted
long series of resolutions favoring woman
Suffrage the reservation of the public
land for actual settlers; against the acqui-
sitiOn OF lands by aliens; for rigid en-
forcement of the law against railroad corpor-
ations not complying with the contracts as
to the disposition of lands; calling for the
free coinage of gold and silver; favoring
the payment of the public debt as rapidly
as possible; reiterating the argument
against the national bank system and in
favor OF the greenback doctrine. Taxes on
real estate mortgages and a graded income
tax are demanded; the liquor traffic is OPP
posed in all forms; deep harbor on the
gulf coast is endorsed; recommending Con-
gress to compel the Union Pacific and Cen
trail Pacific railroads to pay their debts and
Directing to any further extension of time.
The Australian system of voting was en-
Enthusiastically endorsed. The resolution
on the tariff is as follows: "Resolved: We
favor such revision and reduction of the
tariff that taxes may rest as lightly as pos
sible upon productive labor, and that it's
burdens may be imposed upon the luxuries
of life and in a manner which will prevent
the continued accumulation in the United
States Of a surplus"
The proceedings of to-day's session of
the Farmers and Laborers' union and
Northern alliance were devoted almost ex-
clusively to the discussion of amalgama-
ton and revision of the constitution.
Many conferences were held between the
committees of the union and the Northern
alliance, with representatives of the
Knights of Labor. The result is a confeder-
with the knights of Labor and there will
be union of the northern and southern
bodies of the Farmers. The following Off
GERS were elected: President, L. L. Polk,
of North Carolina vice president, D. H.
Glover, Kansas; secretary, J. H. Turner,
Georgia; treasurer, Northumberland, Geor-
gia; national lecturer, F. P. Benjamin,

AFTER HAVING Been Born Brunette.
Especial to THE Misunderstanding Dispatch ]
Adelina Patti, the diva, is no longer a
brunette. She has exchanged her raven
tresses for coil of dark auburn hair with
slight lustre of grey. When asked why
she did it she explained: "Well, you know,
l sang the Juliet in Gounod's Romeo and
Juliet in Paris at least dozen times, and
had to make up as blonde. l did not
want to wear a wig, because have enough
hair of my own, and so l dyed it"
Nine. Patti spoke about her home at
Craig Y Nos, where she is now building
little theatre capable of seating three or
four hundred people, and which will, in
due time, be opened by Mr.. Irving and in
vited guests. She has already had a small
orchestra organized among the people of
her estate, and with these and a mag
nifcant Q orchestra which she has pur-
chased, costing some twenty-five thou
sand dollars, she hopes to be able
even to give opera occasionally. She is
accompanied by her Chihuahua spaniel, a
present from the wife of President Diaz, of
Mexico, and by a smaller dog still that she
bought in Paris. She left at her home at
her castle Craig y-Nos, the remarkable
Mexican spaniel "Joliet - that Mrs. Mar
Gus Mayer gave her. 1t was so small that
there could not be found in New York
collar that would not slip over It's head.
1t could not stand the strain of an ocean
voyage either. She will go to Mexico
after the Chicago engagement, thence to

New Orleans Press Comments.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-The Times Demo
erat editorially says: Jefferson Davis is
dead. He was tried in many high Offices
and found faithful in all, tested in many
critical coniunctures and proved true to his
country and his people. His life was one
long, uninterrupted sacrifice to the interest
of conscience. The fame of the illustrious
dead shall in the years to come grow
brighter as the embers of passion die
away"
The Picdyune says "Let the south
mourn over one who represented, more
than any other, the cause for which mil
lion of her most chivalrous sons drew their
swords and joined battle with the most
formidable of adversaries, their own
countrymen, for the rights and liberties
they held most dear"

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Daily NeaUS says
Jefferson Davis has died, and the south weeps
over the hero in whose person her cause, after
going down in the sea of patriotic blood, it was
sought for a time to be humbled by the victo
rious north. Jefferson Davis is dead, but the
the persecution, misrepresentation and humilia-
ton which are ever visited on the heroic. Wit
ness of the death survives him, and the south
already has enshrined his memory with that of
the great martyrs of history, and as time grows
old and the immortal principles for which JEFF
ferson Davis battled are more and more firmly
tional government, there will be no sectional
Limitation, no north and no south in the univer-
sal veneration due to the grand but temporarily
unsuccessful efforts which conscience prompted,
which profound conviction sanctified and which
indefaceable truth will serve to immortalize''

Secretary Proctor,s Comment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The department
has not officially been informed of the
death of Jefferson Davis and has taken no
action with regard to it. A large oil paint
ing of the deceased hangs on the wall of
the chief clerks room. 1t is surrounded
by portraits of other ex-se cretaries. The
flag over the building, which has always
been half-masted on the death of an ex-
secretary, to-day floats in good breeze
from its ususl place, at the top of the staff.
Secretary Proctor said: 81 see no occa-
sion for any action whatever. 1t would
serve no good purpose that 1 can see. Bet
ter to let the matter rest in oblivion, sleep
if it will, and to relegate it to the past, than
do anything that would revive memories

What the London Papers Saw.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The papers have comments
on'Jefferson Davis, The 81. James Gazette doubt
whether Davis will take historical position as
one of the worlds great men. 1t draws a strix-
ing comparison between Davis and his famous
contemporaries, and especially compares him
with Lincoln, OF unique personality and deeply
cherished memory.
The absence of enthusiasm for Davis, the Ne,Cs
says shows that the clemency Of the great popu-
lar government in the case of Davis has been
justified by the results. Davis, passing his old
age in peace, has stood as an evidence of the
absolute security Of the federal system.
The Standard says Davis natural reserve was
little illumined by sympathy or humor, hence
while he must occupy prominent place in his
tory, he will not be accorded the affection that
friend and foe alike bestow on Lincoln Lee.
