The NEW REPUBLIC.

While attention is directed to Brazil.
it may be noted that it is a country that
spreads out surprisingly. 1t is hardly
credible that it is larger than all the
United States, leaving out Alaska, but
that seems to be the fact. The popula-
ton is thin and largely confined to a
few sections, not exceeding about ten
millions. A good deal of effort is being
made to Increase it, and the natural adj
vantages are great, the undeveloped re-
sources almost boundless. The crop of
revolutions has been smaller than in
most South American countries under
the long rule of Dom PEDRO. and the
present one does not seem to make the
climate particularly unhealthy for any
body. The population is variegated in
complexion, and the ''previOus condi-
ton of servitude" is too recent to make
politics particularly attractive as voca-
ton for the fastidIous.

A DEFENSE OF JOHN,

Some of those who are deficient in the
commercial and business instinct find
ground for earping and criticisms of the
good JOHN who carries about the let
tiers, as understood by Joshua Whit
comb, for his ability to keep his big
store always first in mind. 1t is not in
sisted that large reeeipted bills from
the store are the only papers needfuI
for postal appointment, but impressive
illustrations could be drawn from that
source of the fruitful return of bread
upon the waters, for use in the Phila-
delphia Sunday school. On the recent
visit of the Pan-Americans the thrifty
JOHN used them as an alluFement to
his shop. cards being sent out over his
signature inviting the bargain seekers
TO come and see the attraction, and no
doubt the clerks had a lively
trade. Mr.. WANAMAKER, however,
was not behind the counter. as
his head man explained to the
visitors that he had some cabinet
work on hand in Washington that de-
tanned him. These carpists are so fas-
tidiOus as to look upon it as unbeeoming
for cabinet minister to use the guests
Of the government to advertise his
store. Even the slow-speakiHg North
American owned. by WHARTON BAR

SHALL MILLIoNAIREs RULE?


One William D. Hill, an Ohio politician of
sufficient importance to have figured some
what conspicuously in the state legislature,
and to have served a term or two in congress,
when spoken to with reference to the mil
nonaire contest for the Ohio senatorship,
gave utterance toa sentiment the other day
which deserves to be trodden under foot.
He said that as the Republicans do not
scruple to make use of their millionaires in
that way, he could see no reason why the
Democrats should not do the same.
That is to say. because the Republican
party has become the bond-servant of plutoc-
racy. and gets high wages for its degrading
subserviency, the Democrats should seek
similar employment Because Republicans
sell their Offices to the highest bidder the
Democrats should offer themselves in the
same internal auction.
The utterance is unworthy Of any patriot.
any Democrat or any honest man. 1t is
confession of corruption, an invitation to
shame.
The Republican surrender to the organized
greed of the country has imposed upon the
Democratic party more imperauvely than
ever the duty of opposing the eDcroachments
of corruption and preserving Democratic lib
erty alive in the land.
The purchase of scholarships is the rob-
berry of the people of their dearest posses
sion. Like bribery in elections, il Is a crime
against liberty which no honest man can
look upon except with loathing and deadly,
righteous hatred of its perpetrators. The
man or the party that consents to it is already
leprous to the marrow

APICTURE NEEDED.

Those who object TO the inspection
system as a part of the prohibition regi-
men in the states that are. trying to
make intoxicants observation-disclosures
only, are standing in the way of an es-
Sential factor in the work. The DakO-
tas. in providing for enforcing the re-
straintS they have woven into the fun
damental law, will do well to profit by
the experience of the other states. 1t is
true, this may introduce features that
will increase hostility to the system. but
that is not consideration for eOnscien-
tiOus lawmakers. There must be con-
stabulary with the most delicate and
sensitive perceptives, and. indeed, with
the courageous devotion that will fol-
low the faintest suspicion to the seclu-
sion of homes and recesSes of the
sanctuary. An illustrative incident is
related by the Des MOines Leader as
transporting in that city. The wife
of a poor German had a child
that died a few hours from birth.
Soon after it was dead the state con-
stabulary. six gallant and devoted men
with delicate nOstrils, came to the
house in quest of intOxicauts. The
German protested and denied the pos
session of any liquors. but they forced
their way into the rooms of the dead
child and sick mother, and were re-
warded by finding an empty bottle which
had once had beer in it procured for the
sick woman. There was nothing pecu-
liar in the case. 1t was warranted by
the law the long-ruling party resolved
to stand by. 1t may aid the Dakota
legislators in their work to procure
photographs of the party standing by
prohibition in Iowa, Kansas, Maine and
elsewhere.

A SAMPLE CASE,

In New York trade publication
letter appears from one of the type
founders, urging the formation of
trust. with a capital Of S20.O00.000. or
three times the value of all the type.
foundries. The writer insists that even
with this infusion of two-thirds water,
the stock would pay 1pper cent. This
would be IS per cent on the actual in
vestment. 1t is urged that this is the
practice in other lines of industry. By
combination there is mutually of inter-
ests: and instead of competing with each
other. the only question is how much
will their eOnsciences, preSuming they
have any, allow them to plumber the
public goose. The writer alleges that
the parties to this pooling of interests
easily and rapidly become rich. This
is not hard to credit when IS per cent or
more Is paid on the real capital. In the
case mentioned it is claimed that at
least FIVE years without competition
would be had, when they would all be
rich. 1t is but sample case.

HOW 1T WILL WORK.

The change proposed in the method
of choosing presidents by ex-senator
BUcKALEw. of Pennsylvania, some
years ago, was widely discussed at the
line, and its con eeded useful features
would have gained stronger lodgment
in the public mind if in the existing
condition of parties some advantage to
one of them had not been imputed to it.
The subject is now revived in an adj
dress by RICHARD Ell. DANA, who. not
being a partisan, will be likely to at
tract general attention to the need Of
some change. The scheme is to divide
the vote of the states between the can
didates for president in proportion to
their party strength. This would not
Ice quite an exact measure. as for in
stance in New York, with sc votes,
HARRISON had 10000 majority, which
represent only third of one vote, but
1t would be necessary to give the
Republicans 10 to IL. This would
benefit one party in one state and the

paid to editors. writer's and reporters as
now. There are large number OF
high-salaried men on the World, Her
aid, Times, Sun and the other leading
New York papers. Boston. Chicago,
st. Louis, San Francisco, Washington
and Philadelphia newspapers pay their
writer's and editors well. One man on
the New York World is paid $4,000
year. Three or paid $4,000 each. A
half-dozen get from $1,000 to $1,000;
amy number OF reporters make from
81. 500 to 5000 yearly. Good managing
editors are paid from $1,000 to $1,000;
city editors from So. 600 to $1,000; special
writer's about the same, and first-class
reporters i'm New York can make from
5000 to $1,000 yearly. OF course, am
writing now about first-class men only.
Second-cass men do not make aearly SO
much money" This is all true so far
as it goes. but think Mr.. Coates should
have dwelt longer OH the other side of
the picture. New York journalism is
overrun now with raw college gradu-
ates and men who have made failures
as lawyers, doctors and ministers, and
men who are eking out a precarious liy-
ing in newspaper work.

REFORMS FOR LADIES.

One of the members of the late W. G.
T. U. at Chicago explains that their eff
forts are by no means confined to the
destruction of the traffic in intoxicating
liquors or to the moral integrity of men.
The use of narcotics among women was
made a special order, and the depIora =
bic effects of some of these practices
stronglyl pictured. In addition to all
forms of opium, cocaine. sulphonel, cigar
cites and chewing gum were on the
prescribed list. 1t was stated that the
vicious cigarette had become very COM
mon with ladies in New York and Chi
cago. This was termed abominably
filthy, and the chewing gum habit was
pronounced hardly less disgusting.
Some insisted On including paregoric
and the soothing syrups with which in
fants were drugged. 1t may not be al
together a judieious movement, but it
is believed that the ladies excite more
masculine sympathy and enthusiasm
when they are training their artillery
upon the weaknesses of their own sex.

FOOLS AND THEI MONEY.
Depositors i'm the Lawrence Bank
Left in the Lurch.


Left in the Lurch.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 22.-The Lawrence
bank did not open it's doors for business
this morning, as was anticipated by
some of the more sanguine stockhOld-
ers and depositors. Long before the
hour for commencing business crowd
of interested people gathered at the
bank steps, discussing the situation.
Promptly at O'Clock Assistant Cashier
Moke tackled the following notice on
the door and Immediately Disappeared:
Owing to the continued withdrawal of de-
positors we are compelled TO suspend pay
ment feeling assured that with time and pa
thence all will be reimbursed. By order OF
the president.
There was considerable murmuring,
and numerous threats were heard about
what would be done in case any of the
officials dared to show their faces, The
only man connected with the bank who
appeared about the building was Di-
rector Samuel Mcmahon. He tried to
explain matters, but his task was
rather difficult one. Mr.. McMahon said
to a reporter: I'VE will pay dollar for
dollar. The depositors will not lose
cent, although they may be compelled
to wait until we are able to realize
enough to meet their claims. The di-
rectors will hold meeting this after
noon at which we will ascertain the full
amount of our liabilities and assets, and
will prepare statement for the pub
fic.'' Long & Co., of the Vulcan iron
works, against which the Lawrence
bank holds judgments aggrpgating
about 100000. and whose property is
now in the hands Of the sheriff, posi-
lively refuse to make any statement for
publication.
7 The absence of Cashier Hoerr is ere
ating a great deal of comment. He left
the bank for lunch at noon yesterday
and has not been seen since. No crook
edness is limited at, however, and ii is
thought he is simply keeping himself
out OF the reach OF reporters. From bank
sources it is learned that the deposits
were about sS50,000. and that probably
S200, 900 had been drawn out in the re-
cent run. The bills receivable are
about $500, 900, and the real estate S70.-
600. Cash and bonds on hand amount
TO from $50. 900 to $4,000. The assets,
it is thought, will aggregate $500, 900,
and the stockholders are individually
liable for $4,000.
DIRECTORS ARE EXCITED.
PITTsBURG, Pa. Nov. GA meeting
of the directors of the Lawrence bank
was held this afternoon. The session
lasted about hall an hour, and then
hastily adjourned. Attorney McCook
said:
We are not in shape to make any state
ment, though we shall at the very earliest
opportunity. 1t is impossible to tell what
are the assets and liabilities. We will imme-
diately call in all outstanding loans subject
to call and the clerks are now working on
the books to get them in shape When we
have matters in shape meeting Of the
stockholders will be called
The following estimates are as acen-
rate as obtainabe. Assets, $500, ZOO,
liabilities said to be 100000.

FRANKLIN, Pa, Nov. 22.-The Asso-
ciated Press dispatches of Tuesday last
contained an account of the killing Of
a man named Green by the Mormons of
Salt Lake City for revealing the secrets
OF the endowment house. Mr.. War

fed that he had seen Green killed. The
latter's wife now resides in this city in
a house near the Bell stone QuarrieS. and
says there is no doubt that the man
killed was. her husband, Mr.. Green

a sensation was created this evening
when all editorial from the church organ
on the death of John Taylor was read.
The article states that President Taylor
was killed by the cruelty of the officers
here; that his blood stained the
clothes OF those men who hound
ed him to his grave. and they
would yet be called to account.
This closed the case for the pr0secu-
ton. and Mr.. Dickson announced that
the government desired to be repre-
scented in the matter, and United States
ATTORNEY Varian would take part in the
arguments, which will be next week.

contempt in refusing to answer QueS-
tions, is still in the penitentiary, and
has not yet filed statement. Lit is be-
lieyed he will bring the matter before

That paper insists that the president
should indicate to WANANIAKER that
he doesn't like his course at all. But
these high toned critics should bear in
mind that JOHN owes his cabinet posi-
ton to his commercial instincts. Ii
some of the profits of the store had not
gone into the party treasury, he would
have had no occasion to make frequent
trips to Washington. There is no evil

THE governor of North Dakota treats
of prohibition in his message as feat
ure of the constitution requiring legis-
lation. Unless the supreme court dis
lodges it, the legislature will be COM
PEELED to recognize it. If it is in the
constitution, it can only be extracted by
a vote of the people. Before that can
be had it submission must be Endorsed
by two legislatures. The present one
might initiate the measure, the legis-
lature elected next November indorse it,
and the vote be had in 1892 at the gen.
eral election. But the present iegis-
lature has not shown its temper on the
subject yet.

THE NORTH DAKOTA POINT.

At the late election in Ohio amend.
mentS to the constitution were voted on,
and one of the number only received
more votes in favor than against. This
was for making all elections biennial,
which would naturally dwarf the politi-
cal industries of the state, and shrivel
the Ohio idea as q constant figure.
Still, over 5000 more ballots were for
this than against. But 1T is not be-
lieved the court will decide that it was
adopted. as it had less than a majority
of the vote cast at the election. The
situation is the same as in the case of
the probibitOry amendment in North
Dakota. That had more votes for than
against, but did not have majority of
the votes pOlled at the election. Ohio
papers state that it has uniformly been
held by the supreme court of that state
that majority of the total vote is
requisite to adopt an amendment
to the constitution. not simply
a majority of the votes east for and
against it. The theory of this judicial
construction is that the constitution of
a state should not be changed without
the affirmative action of a majority of
the voters. Those who fail to put any
expression on their ballots cannot be
regarded as wishing the change TO be
made. They may not fully understand
it or be in doubt of its policy. but they
do not desire its adoption. This is the
rational view. and it is believed will be
adhered to by the Ohio court In the
Dakota case. it is said. there was some
attempt to present the point to the pres
ident, but it probably failed to be APP
pretended. as he proclaimed that the
amendment was adopted. while the jul
dicial presidents are adverse. 1t is
probable that the supreme court of
North Dakota may yet have an oppOr-
tunity to pass upon the question. 1t
would seem desirable before the ma
ehinery of prohibition is fully provided.

IT IS rather encouraging to see the

Consumption has been regarded as in

In A recent report of JOHN G. New,
the presidents consul general at Lon
don, he corrects the impression that the
British government grants subsidies to
lines of steamships to promote trade.
Ths only basis for it is that the postal
department contracts for the carrying
of the mails to various ports where
steamers are running. This amounted
to s.. 1S4. 49, last year. Yet those inter-
ested in subsidies quote Great Britain
as an illustration of what results can be
effected in extending trade this way.
