Blaine's Mistake.

1t IS evident that it Is the purpose Of the
democratic senator's 70 insist upon the pass
age OF Senator M0rgtn's res luton recog-
nizlng the republic Of B ALL. Toe seati-
meGt Of the country Sc ms 70 be thai this
government ought to have shown its friend
ship for the new republic wei ago by Civ
ing it such moral support IS would follow
the formal recognition Of it. There is no
good reason why Senator Morgaa's resolu-
ton should not be adopted. Although
Brazil has not yet a republican government
it will have as soon as an election is held.
The time for an election has already been
fixed
There may be serious disturbances before
the republic becomes fairly established
According 20 our dispatches yesterday there
has already been one disturbance in which
hundred or more rebellious soldiers were
killed. But the occurrence of disturbances
or the apprehension of them should not
deter this government from extending to
the republic a friendly hand. Moral as
sista nee Of that kind may help the republic
to resist the attack of its enemies, and it is
no doubt the desire OF the peopls of this
country that the republic should be perma-
nent.
There is animpression in Washington that
many Of the republican senators think they
made a mistake in voting to refer Senator
Morgans resolution to the committee on
foreign relations instead of voting to adopt
it at once. 1t is known that some of them
favor it, but voted to refer it simply be-
cause it was understood by them that Sec
rotary Blaine was not ready for the govern
ment to announce itself the friend of the
new republic. There is some ground for
thinking that Mr.. Blaine considers that he
made mistake, and it is reported that the
President is far from satisfied with the
position which the government occupies in
the matter. If this is true the republican
senators ought to correct their mistake at
once.
1t is pro babe that they would consent to
the passage of Senator Morgaus resolution
now if they could do SO without appearing
TO follow the lead of the democrats. They
don't want the Democratic party to have
the credit of taking the lead in showing
friendship for the Brazilian republic, and
this feeling may influence them to delay
action on the resolution longer than they
otherwise would. 1t is wiser TO acknowledge
a mistake, however, than to persist in it,
This country wants the good will of Brazil,
aud the best way to obtain it is to help her in
her time of trouble. When she has passed
beyond the danger point, and considers who
we're her friends when she needed friends,
ebo g., Al L
government. that will give her pleasure
unless congress and the administration
promptly recognize her. Her trade will, to
a large extent, go to those who stood by her
in her days Of trouble

Strength of Three European Armies.
From the LONDON Times

The Almanack de Gotha for 1890, which has
been lately published, contains as usual. statis-
teal details concerning the military forces of
tho various European states. This portion of
the work has been thoroughly revised, so as to
secure the most accurate information accessi-
BILE. 1t appears that it is practically impossi-
BILE to ascertain the fighting strength of the
German army when placed on war footing
on account of the complicated arraD gements
by which portions of the territorial forces are
worked into the strength of the regular corps
The peace establishments of Germany, France
and Russia are given by tine Almanack as
follows: Germany-6S4 battalions, 465 SQUAD
rons 364 batteries, 1900 mounted guns, 49, 457
officers, 46o, 400 rank and file. France-2G 763
officers, 534 100 rank and file $50 field batteries
with 1850 mounted guns. RuSSia-S4S battaions
with 81, 416 men, 344 batteries of field artillery
with 1912 mounted guns and 81 $50 men, II
battalions of engineers having 1S,977 men,
besides 81, 100 men of the Train service
making a total of 552.500 men. To these should
be addel 28S SquadronS of CoSSacks numbering
51.944 men, 1880 local troops, and ~, 634 re-
serve men; which will bring up the strength of
the Russian peace establishment to 799, 92S men
The Russian forces when on O war footing are
troops, with 4030 pieces of artillery; $50 $40 re-
serve men, with $40 guns; 49,, 730 Cossacks
with 240 guns of their own; and 1S9, 500 supple
me ltary reserve men, with 1874 pieces of artil-
lery. This estimate is exclusive of local troops
The footing strength of France is eSti-
mated by the Almanack at about the follow
ing: Active army about 100000, divided into
ten classes, according to age; 1,O22,000 of the
territorial army, divided into five classes, ac-
cording to age, and reserve troops, divided into
SIX classes numbering 762, 900, the total amount
inc to 37S40 900 men.

The New York delegates who went to
Washington to present New York's claims
for the worlds fair express themselves as
being confident that their city Will Sc
cure the prize. No doubt the dele
gates from the other cities do the same
thing. Mr.. John C. Calhoun, who has just
returned to New York from the south, says:
81 feel more than ever certain that New
York will get the fair. Tne feeling in the
south is almost unanimous for New York,
and think the great majority of southern
representatives in congress will vote that
way" There is something solid about this.
Southern sentiment for New York means
votes.

Knew the Value of Advice.

When D. K Tenney was admitted to the bar
he was one of the boys" He enjoyed a good
time as well as any one, and the following story
is told of him:
He went to a country dance near Madison
Wis. one night, and became smitten with one
of the country girls He danced with her nearly
all the evening, regardless of the fact that n
certain six-footer in the room kept watch
ing him threateningy. Finally o friend ap-
preached:
Dan he said, do you see that big fellow on
the other side of the room?"
YES"
''Well, he's going to lick the life out of you. -
''What for?" asked Tenney.
you've been dancing with his girl all the
evening""
Il didn't know it. What shall do?''
well, if were you, I'd put on my coat and
make a sneak for hom,. I'd get away from
here just as as could"
The embryo lawyer said never a word but
reached down in his pocket and pulled out a So
bill.
What are you doing?'' asked the friend.
Take it.
81 don't want any money"
Take it, repeated Tenney. i've taken SIS

Congressman Enloe, of Tennessee, wants
the expenses of congressional funerals
cut down. and he is quite right. His
idea is that $500 is enough for funeral of
this kind, and he has introduced bill limit
ing the expenses to that sum. Frequently
they have been as high as $4,000 and some
Time $1,000, and scandals have come out of
them. 1t is thought that the committee on
accounts will report the bill favorablY.

The little King of Spain seems certain to
recover from his present illness, but he has
always been considered by everyone about
him to be child of very weak cons tuition.
He inherited this from his father, whose
health was impaired by dissipation. Those
who are in position to know say that he is
very nervous, irritable and ugly child.
His mother has always had a presentiment
that some evil would befall him, and she
hardly ever allows him to be taken out of

1t is fact worthy of note that the demo-
cratic leaders in the House have almost
always been southerners. Commenting
upon this, the Boston Globe says: "The rea-
son for this lies very largely in the fact that
southern constituencies are in the habit of
keeping their representatives longer time
in office than northern constituencies are,
especially democratic constituencies. Mr.
Mills has been elected to congress nine times
without break. But in the north demo-
cratic seats are more precarious. With a
few exceptions, like Randall of Pennsyl-
vania, Holman of Indiana, and, until re-
Gently, Morrison of Illinois, aud Cox Of
New York, democratic congressman from
the north seldom hold Their seats longer
than two or three terms" The Globes ex-
PLANTATION is a very good one so far as it
goes, but it doesn't go far enough In the
first place, the south is the home of states
men. In the next place, southern constitu-
encieS generally seld their best men to
congress, and, as the Globe intimates, they
give them a chance to show what is in
them.

teenth President of the United States
Elected but Not Seated" will never be
taken out of the pigeon-hole to which it has

purpose 1t directed attention anew to the
great republican steal of 1876, the most
gigantic political fraud in the history of the

Rlectin g War Veterans to ONCE.

1t is not uncommon for republicans to
say, in fault-fnding sort of way, that the
democratic candidate in the south who has
the best military record has the best chance
of election. AS general thing. this is true,
but it must not be supposed that in the
south military record Is considered the
chief or the only qualification for Office. A
man who has served his people well in time
of war is more than likely to be faithful in
the performance of any other public duty,
and it is natural that his countrymen
should regard him with feelings of conf
dence and gratitude If, in addition to
this, he possess the ability to perform salts
factoriy the duties of the Office to which
he aspires, he has decided advantage over
the candidate who has no military record,
or a record that excites no enthusiasm.
This is equally true in the north and the
south. But for his military record Gen.
Grant would never have been President,
and in the last national campaign great
deal was heard concerning Gel. Harrison S
services as a soldier. The sketches of the
lives of the members of the Fifty-first con-
gress in the Congressional Directory show
records were elected from the north than
from the south.
1t is very we'll understood that the term
confederate brigadier," as applied to south
ern democratic congressman by republicans,
is intended TO be one of reproach. aud that
those who use it hope thereby to make
political capital for their party. Consider
ing how many confederate veterans the
republicans themselves have elected to con-
gress, it is a little strange that they should
refer to this subject as they do. Since recon
struction the south has had about lbs
republican congressmsl, of whom nearly
one-third we're confederate veterans.
Among them were Foster Blodgstt sen
ator, Christopher c. Bowen, Samuel C.
Cove, Simeon Corey, Edward w. NJ
Mackey, Thomas T. Spaor, John r. Cham
bers, and John S. Wise. Every time the
republicans elect a confederate veteran,
they virtually admit that their loud talk
about "rebe brigadiers" is merely for po-
litical effect in the north.

A Prompt Response.

The MORNING NEWS, it appears, has
more influence with the postoffice depart
ment relative to postal matters than the
request of any number of citizens There
has been need Of night clerk in the Savan-
nah postofice for long time, and the post
office department has been requested many
times within the last year or two to
provide one. The request was answered
with promise that the matter would be
looked into, and that was about all the at
tention that was given to it. A few days
ago the MORNING NEWS presented the
needs of the Savannah offics clearly and
forcibly, aud copy of the edition contain
ing the article was forwarded to the post
office department. The following answer
was racaived vesterdav.

PoSToFFICE DEPARTMENT,

Editor Morning Ne,os: A copy of the
MORNING NEWS of the 10th inst, ad-
dressed to the Postmaster General, has been
referred to me.
In reply to the article in the said paper,
relative to the Savannah postoffice, 1 beg
Co state that, under date of the 18th inst,
an order was made increasing the allowance
for clerk hire for the sail office from the
10th inst. in order to enable the postmaster
to employ an additional clerk for night
duty, in accordance with the revised
schedule as made by the general superin-
tendent of the railway mail service.

First Assistant Postmaster Gene

The foregoing is a very satisfactory re-
spouse to the MORNING NEWS article.
Within few days the Savannah postoffice
will be provided with a night clerk, and
mail arriving at late hour in the evening
will be promptly distributed, From the
statement of the needs of the Savannah
office, which appeared in the MORNING
NEWS, the Assistant Postmaster General
saw clearly doubtless that the force in the
office was too small TO do all the work nee
essary to be done to give the people as good
a service as they were entitled to, and
therefore he promptly ordered it to be in
creased.
The truth is there is great deal more
work to be done in the Savannah postoffice
than there was few years ago. Savan-
nah's population is increasing ra pidly, and
her post office accommodations are far from
what they should be. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the bill of Representative Les
ter, asking for an additional appropriation
for the postoffice building, will be passed at
this session of congress. The building is
greatly needed.
