The Forum OF AnriI.

The Forum for April contains q notable
post humous article BY the late President Bar
ton Of our politics, in which he shows that
the substitution of personal reward for pub
lie duty az the prime motive Of political ac-
tivity has changed the whole character of our
government to so great degree that II Is no
longer republic but an oligarchy OF machine
politics; and the popular conception OF the
| functions OF government has Itself undergone
change. This Is perhaps the most notable
Of all President Barnard's writings. Pres
ident Timothy Ewight, Of Yale University,

DR.. Lyman Abbott, the SUCCESSOR OF Henry
Ward Beecher In Plymouth pupil, points out
the difference between the new theology
and the mo theology or between liberal
orthodoxy and agunsticism. He explains the
idea that advanced orthodox thinkers hold
OF the Deity, of personal Immortality, and OF
the Interpretation Of the Scriptures; and he
shows how these ideas differ more widely
from the position OF unbelievers than from
the orthodoxy of the pnst. Chas. Dudley
Warner; in an article, The Newspapers and

undertakes 10 explain why IL is that those
newspapers that have the widest circulation
are those that meet the severest criticism.
He finds an interesting answer In an analysis
OF the American character. Mr.. c. Wood

The New Schedule.

THE new schedule on the c. & g. road will
be of grent ad Vantage to the people along the
line. President McBee has many thanks.
If In the dull season the work does not
prove gold mine, we hope he will give the
new schedule a fair. trial. The tram now
leaves Abbeville four times daily; at $50.
1850, l:5O, and Ais o'clock, connecting with
passengers on the main line. Returning the
cars arrive at Abbeville at: 1925. Los $50, 5:4O
o'clock.
If the schedules are kept up, and the people
are given fair chance, good travel will be
developed.

THE BRAZIL CONSTITUTION.

The proposed Constitution for Brazil is a
most enlightened and progressive scheme OF
government. 1t furnishes a complete vindica-
ton of the patriotism, republicanism and prac-
teal wisdom of the revolutionary leaders. They
were placed in power by the army. but they
have devised scheme of public law by which
the sovereign people will be made supreme.
The Constitution is not proclaimed as final
ity, but as de facto system of government
which will be revised and legalizcd by the
Constituent Assembly about to be elected. The
Provisional Government has successfully re-
sisted the temptation to usurp the functions OF
the representatives of the people. When the
Constituent Assembly meets President and
Ministers will resign the functions exercised by
them since the revolution. new President will
then he elected and another Ministry will be
Immediately formed and then the Constituent
Assembly will revise and promulgate the funda-
mental law. There could be no wiser method
of procedure than this. The electors will have
the tentative scheme of public law before them
when they choose their Deputies and Senators
in the Constituent Assembly, and hence they
will vote more intelligently but the Consttu-
ton will be subject TO amendment and final
revision by the representatives OF the people
The Constitution involves an essential re-
production of the American political system
The legislative and administrative function,
are separated. The Cabinet will be respon-
sible To the President, and its members will
neither be eligible to seats in the legislative
chambers, nor forced TO resign their Offices
when there is an adverse vote. The function;
of the chambers will be purely legislative
The American rather than the French system
is initiated in these respects and the election
Of President is 10 be conducted as il is in the

THE NIAGARA RESERVATION

Do the Falls of Niagara belong to the public
of this State in particular and to the pubhc
of the rest of the world in general, or are they
owned in fee simple by certain thrifty persons
who live in their ncghborhood? When the
Legislature of 1883 passed an act author
izing the selection, location and appropriation
of certain lands in the village of Niagara rails
for a State reservation" it was understood that
the result would be not only the preservation
and restoration Of the scenery, but the aboll-
ton of the nusances which had so long preyed
upon the great wonder. The reports of the
commissioners Of the reservation have strength
encd this impression. In their second one,
made in 1856, after showing that they had be
gun a good work in the interest OF the scenery,
they added that the stringent rules adopted
with reference to the drivers of hacks have
wrought a very pcrccptibe abatement of the
annovances which formerly were the subject OF
frequent complaint" The succeeding reports
have contained similar aSsuranccs-the scenery
and the sharpers both were being looked after.
Nevertheless, ever since 1887 the commits
sioners have annually called attention to Il
state of things at the Falls which seriously in
tcrfercs with the purpose for which the reServa-
ton was crcatcd-the common pleasure and
profit TO be derived from holding communion
with Nature in one of her sublimcst manifesto
tons The state of things referred to grows
out of exclusive livery privileges which have
bcen granted Mr.. Welch the superintendent
of the reservation, made "A special report on
this point which was incorporated in the com
miSsioncrs' report for 1887. The existence
of these privileges, it appeared, resulted in ont
RACES upon visitors, who were first taken Ia
points of interest and to shops controlled by
the livery monopoly Uhc drivers receiving a
commission upon all sums paid out by those
whom they carried) and then were given a
chance to see the reservation. Next year Mr.
WEIGH reported that the livery monopoly was
doing better, no longer allowing the drivers
any commissions, but paying them entirely by
salary.
Interest in this subject is revived by the
second special report which Mr.. Welch has
made TO the Commission. 1t would appear that
the monopoly's reformation was not lasting
one. The commission system is again flourish
lng-presumably to the drivers satisfaction
and the unwaiy traveller is plundered pretty
much as hS used to be in the fine old ante
reservation days, which are supposed to have
been the golden age of the Niagara hack
driver. Mir. WEIGH charges that the monopoly
