RESULTS IN BRzZIL.

The latest dispatches from Brazil indicate
that the revolution is sustained by pubic oplh-
ion in all the provinces Bahia, which was al
first reported to be out Of sympathy with the
new political order, has promptly signited It's
adherence to the Republic If there are any
signs of serious opposition to the provisional
Government the news has been suppressed by
its partisans who control the cables at mo-
II is probable that the bargain made by the
revolutionary leaders with the Emperor, by
which he was allowed to depart with 81 0OO,-
600 and the guarantee of pension OF S4oO,-
600. did much to conciliate public feeling in
the Provinces This was shrewd polihcal
move. for it removed the most formidable
obstacle to a general acceptance of the Repup
lie Monarchy would have been doomed
in Brazil twenty-five years ago
Dom Pedro II had not won the
respect, confidence and gratitude of his sub
iects by his progressive ideas and enlght-
eped policy. Dethronement without compensa-
ton after his patriotic services would nave oeeh
regarded by large masses OF the p0puatloh 10
the consummatiOn of meanness and lngrautuoe.
Dethronement with compensation on scdie
that proves thai a republic is not ungratelu'
tn a bighminded and progressive sovereign Is
hailed with satisfaction throughout Brazil. III
is An anomaly in the annals of revolution, 1of
kings ordinarily are lucky if they escape WIN
their lives but under the circumstances IL Is

lackey lie has gone out like prince Loaded
with benefactCns from people whose quarfe,
was not with him, but with the monarchcai
system.
The reyolutionists have accomplished their
work with extraordinary facility. Not lie
has been wasted. There has been excitemeh'
without panic, riotng and disorder. Inc hc
public has been proclaimed and ProVlSlohai
Government organized without bloodshed OF
anarchy. The whole movement has Deeh au-
mirably planned and carried out with deXteri'!
and success Revolutions are always arbitrary
in their processes and despOtic in their results;
and this one has been no exception TO inc ruie'
Tho Provisional Government has been guilty
If bipb-banded acts. and has usurped power
that belongs only to the representatives OF the
peopIe: but it is probable that everything VIII
be speedily and fully condOned II the electorate
he consulted at the earliest possible day, ana
granted an opportunity for sanctoning the work
of i,,esuonsible dictatOrS and cOnsplators. The
Republic promises to survive all the vlclssl-
tudes of political dissenson and domestic in
trigue which Immediately await it. The new
institutions may not work smoothly at frst
hut when it has been securely established the
RepubGc will be source Of inspiration ana
self enlightenment to the people OF Brazil. Such
a reign as that which has ended in unmerited
disaster has offered the best opportunity Tor
that symmetrical development of free lnstitu-
tiops and self government without which
republic is worse failure than a wel-organized
monaichical state.
The revolution in Brazil by completing the
circle of continental republics imparts new
impulse to the work Of the Pan-Amercan Con-
Qress reassembling in Washington. 1t removes
the last remnant of the European dynastic SyS-
tenn from the continent and materially strength
ems the argument in favor Of cooperation oil
all the States for purposes of mutual helpful
ness. The United States of Brazil is now the
natural ally of the United States Of America
These two mighty republics, rich in resources
and in patriotism should be bound together
henceforth by ind.SSoluble ties of commerce
and common interests. They stand one IN the
North and the other in the South for govern
ment by and for the people and for the pacific
| destiny and enlightened progress OF free ana
| self reliant democracy.
