THE NEW REPUBLIC.

The problem that presents itself to the
Brazilian people is most curious one, and
in the solution of it they must have, as a
nation, the warmest sympathy of the peo-
Pile of the United States. The circum-
stances surrounding the establishment OF
the new republic are calculated to arouse
our distrust There was. so far as we can
know, no decent excuse for the violent over
throw of the monarchy. Not only was the
monarchy very liberal one, but the chief
of the reigning family was so sincerely
anxious that his people should have their
own way, when they should have made up
their minds as to the way they wished to
go, that he had practically offered to give
up the throne which he had occupied so
long and with such good sense and good
faith Now that he has given it up and
sailed for Lisbon, the country is embarked
upon a republican career. That is to say,
In some form, on some basis of representa-
ton, Government popular In form and
without the element of heredity power or
office will prevail Though the heredity
feature of the recent past has been hardly
more than form, it was supposed to be a
cheek upon rapid and radical changes.
That check is now removed. The new
government has taken the reins in a man
ner that makes all conditions and re-
straints extremely difficult if not impos-
sible to enforce, ard the future is in the last
degree uncertain But though popular
method of some sort is now the sure out
come of this sudden change, there is one
REGULARITY of the Brazilian situation that
will battle all calculation, and that is the
fact that there is IN Brazil no people IL
the sense that Americans use that term
There is population of from 1000, OOO
or II, 100000 scattered for the most part
thinly over portions of territory so vast
that there are areas as large as one of om
larger States where civilized man has
never gone even as IN explorer. In this
population some % to 80 per cent. are
freemen. slaves emancipated either by the
slow process of flight from slavery under
legal conditions that made recovery by the
masters impracticable, or by the law o
manumission enacted last year OF tn,
remaining 100000 or 100000 of PEG
pic, it is estimated that more than 200, 900
or one in forty have enjoyed the right o
suffrage. Of those without votes, a yer,
large proportion is made up of illiterat
persons whose exercise of the suffrage
would be to the last degree uncertain ant
might be dangerous. Under the empire
an attempt has been made to extend the
suffrage in what appears to have been
very rational fashion. 1t is fair to sup
pose that it would have been successful
had stable Government been maintained
Speculation as to that point is, however
idle now. The proposition in the form
that it was made falls with the empire
The Provisional Government may reney
it or may extend it, but the risk is yer
great that any new system that may b
undertaken will fall through the inabilit
to maintain order while it is being tried

ONE of the oldest evangelical movements
of modern times is described in a specia
cable dispatch from London. Efforts have
repeatedly been made to increase Christian
influences in the great East End, and In
Vulnerable societies have been formed with
that object In view The present move
ment, however, seeks its field of labor at
the other and fashionable end of London.
In other words, society of good people
has been formed, the purpose of which Is
to seek the conversion Of the people of the
West End. The plan adopted IS to make
personal visits upon people in the West
End, and seek by direct intercourse to IN
terest them in religion. 1t is asserted that
all the houses in fashionable London, not
excluding Marlborough House, the resi-
dence of the Prince of Wales, will be visit
ed in this way.

Il shall not waste words in proving the

Il shall not waste words in proving the
right of Italy and of the Roman people to
Rome. The Italians having by universal
suffrage proclaimed their national unity
ana independence under the parliamentary
government of the house of Savoy, Rome
could not be excluded from the national
jurisdiction. Since 1860 the right of the
Italians to the possession of Rome had
been established, and it was in 1870 that
that right was executed as a matter of
fact. Indeed, the right of Italy to her own
historical capital has never been a subject
of serious discussion. By the very right
of their existence all nations exist within
their geographical boundaries; and there
is no nation whose boundaries are SO well
defined and SO strongl y protected as those
of Italy. Natio qtia nata.
1.-The pope as a temporal prince had no
more right to his throne than the other de-
throned princes; nor had the Roman peo-
pie less right to dispose of themselves than
other Italian citizens. Those princes ruled
either by right of usurpation or by right of
treaties; but no usurpation, no treaty, i'm
posed by force or otherwise, can stand In
opposition to the right of national exist
ance, of freedom and Independence
right which is superior to all artificial ar
rangements or conventions, and which
cannot be destroyed by conquest, donation,
or occupation.
The temporal power of the popes was
therefore but transitory period in the
life of Rome which rose, lived, and ruled
over the world long before the appearance
of the pope-kings; and Rome can and will
now live without that power She will
live and remain an integral part of the
nation with or without the consent of the
pope. Neither insidiOus intrigues at
home nor violence abroad, neither cries
nor threats, can ever prevail.
interpreting the sentiment of all Ital-
ians, our august king proclaimed some
time since that Rome, as the capital of
new Italy, was intangible. This defines
the supreme law of Italy, the law of mod
ern civilization.
''0f this law, as far as it concerns relig-
ious liberty, Italy stands its representative
In Rome 1t is in the name of this liberty
that we have secured to the Catholic church
! her complete freedom in the exercise of
| her religious functions. 1t is from Rome
that the chief of that church freely speaks
| to his faithful throughout the world: and
| it Is from Rome that he freely provides for
! the general interest of his spiritual do
| minion
| But in securing this absolute freedom
| for the pope, we are also eager. as it is our
| duty, to prevent his ecclesiastical jurisdic-
ton from interfering with the free exercise
the pope complains, and which prevail

The Pig.

The pig may justly be considered the
poor man 8 friend 1t costs but little to
keep it, comparatively, it disposing of po-
tato and apple-peelings, and the refuse of
nearly all vegetables. Then it is growing
night and day If it has anything like a
fair chance for health, it will remain
healthy, and in the end furnish meat for
the family, and gravy with which to flavor
the vegetables and render the more nitro
genous foods more digestible and assimil-
able The proverbial pig of the Irish
family was wise and substantial provi-
sion for those ground down to the very
earth as the peasant Irish are. Little of
the milk from the cows does the pig get,
but whatever the family cannot eat the pig
does, and comes ON after a fashion, just as
the poor family manages to live, and at
last furnishes some choice dishes for its
nearest surviving friends But even in
this country, where the laboring man is
not driven to such extreme restitution, the
pig is a blessing to him. 1t is kept with
comparatively little expense, and is a very
substantial addition to the winter stores
when slaughtered in the fall

THE conviction of Holzhay, III spite of
his plea of insanity, creates an impression
that the juror of the Upper Peninsula aver
ages very well In the matter of clear head
and saving common sense. 1t is true that
the insanity plea was palpably dodge.
1t was ridiculous on its face. 1t could
not even command-what such pleas rare
ly ever fail to command-the support of
an expert. Yet it was quite as plausible
as the average plea of insanity. The pris-
oner really had been injured; and there
seems to be no doubt that after the injury
if not as a result of it-he had acted queer
ly. Upon pleas every bit as ridiculous
murderers have been acquitted IN COM
munities which pride themselves on their
intelligence and culture. 1t is a gratltica-
ton, therefore, to find that, IN compara-
lively new place like Bessemer, with no
special pretensions to leadership in intelli-
gence, the shallow obscurity of the insanity
dodge should have been seen through, and
the himsy excuse for brutal and wicked
murder brushed aside. Perhaps it was to
the very fact of comparative newness that
Bessemer is indebted for its sensible jury.
1t is possible that.in the older communi-
ties the sensibilities have been overturned
and over-civilized 1t is said that the
bunco steerer and confidence man would
far rather take his chances with the man
reared in thriving, hustling city than
with the ''honest old hayseed, who Is
popularity supposed to be his easiest prey,
and it is quite certain that the victims-sC
far as the public learns of them-cOme
much oftener from the urban than the
rural class May there not be something
in the life of the cities which tends, not
withstanding the wit-sharpening in GER
tain directions, to make the average cltl
zen peculiarly susceptible to the wiles Of
the sharp" and of the jury lawyer? 1t Is
an interesting question, which is not, Of
course, settled by the Marquette verdict
for one swallow does not make summer
But whichever way opinion leans Besseme1
is certainly to be congratulated on It's abil-
ity to fill jury box with men intelligent
enough to spot palpable dodge" In a
murder trial and convict the murderer in
spite of ingenious pleas invented by astute
counsel.

When to "Work" Butter.

The term work, in the manufacture
of butter, ought to be considered obsolete
1t is now tolerated only in the sense Of
pressing the butter into solid mass
Butter is no longer worked" by intelli-
gent butter makers to get the buttermilk
out of it, for it is washed out while the
butter is in the granular condition; and
it is no longer worked to incorporate
the salt with 1t. for the salt is already stirred
in while the butter is In the granular con-
dition What then, is butter worked"
for? For no other purpose than to CRAFTY
a foolish habit. A correspondent of an
exchange. who says he washes and salts
butter while in the granular state, talks
about working" butter after it Is sailed,
and says: Il claim that working i'm
mediately after sailing destroys the grain
of the butter to large extent - Possibly
he means that pressing it into solid mass
and packing it Immediately after sailing
Injuries the grain But, in doing this.
there is no need Of working the butter.
There is a chance to do some injury to the
grain, however, in pressing and packing
butter if the salt is not dissolved and the
temperature is too low No one should
use salt. in this day and age of enlighten-
ment. that does not at once dissolve and
become brine on being stirred into the but

AN EAGLE ATTACKS A FARMER
After An Hours Bloody Fight the Zero
cious Bird Is Slain


TAYLoRsvILLE, Ind.-A farmer by the
name of Frank Engleman, living few
miles west of Nashville, Ind, was STACKED
by a full-grown gray eagle Friday evening
while ON his way to town. When first
noticed the bird was at a great height.
A minute later it swooped down upon
Engleman with shrill scream, striking
him with terrific force, burying its talons
in his clothing and flesh. Engleman was
on horseback and therefore at great dis
advantage Before he could dismount he
was badly clawed by the bird. As the
farmer was without any weapon and could
only defend himself with his bare hands,
the fight lasted fully an hour, the eagle
plunginy at him from every quarter.
Twice dld the man attempt to run, but
each time the great bird threw itself in
his way and prevented his retreat. At
length he caught it by its talons and with
hands and feet succeeded in staying it.
Engleman being weak and bloody came on
to town. but sent other parties after the
eagle, which he could not carry. The
bird measured 6 feet inches from the tip.

1t was an English justice of the high
court, to whom in former days, was at
tributed the famous exordium of charge
to jury in case of larceny: For forty
centuries the thunders of Sinai have echoed
through the world, Thou shalt not steal,
This is also principle of the common law
and rule Of equity" When Swift and
Pope made their celebrated excursion into
the art of sinking in poetry, they never
contrived any pathos more perfect or COM
plete than this. Almost as delightful,
though expressed without the same literary
skill, is the sentence of president of a
court-martial: Prisoner, not only have
you committed murder, but you have run
bayonet through the breeches of one of
Her Majestys uniforms. Perhaps, how
ever, the best of all such judicial utter
ances is that as ascribed to a rural justice
of the peace: Prisoner, a bountiful
providence has endowed you with health
and strength, instead of which you go
about the country stealing hens.
