THE court of appeals Of the State Of New

ton by electricity 70 be constitutional.
Judge Dwight writes the opinion, and in
conclusion he says The light Of the scien-
tifc evidence in this case is sufficient, as
we think, to remove every reasonable
doubt that passage of a current of cleo
tricity, Of Il certain well determined IN
tensity, through the vital parts Of the
body under chosen conditions Of contact
and resistance must result in instant
death If the question were of the adyis-
ability in the change of the mode in IN

discussion might be prolonged. If we are
confined to the question Of constitutional

THERE are two sides to the stories of
disturbances that come from Brazil. While
it suits the purpose of the imperiallsts to
magnify every ruffie of popular temper,
and while the provisional government is
evidently quite able to maintain order, it
would not be strange if the decree pro-
longing the provisional period year, and
postponing the elections for a constltu-
tional convention until September, had
caused much uneasiness If the republic
is so popular, the delay only invites com
plications.

oklahoma.s Regularity.

Il is announced as a popularity of Okla
homa that black immigrants are settling
within her limits by the thousands. And
these immigrants are not a sniftless and
worthless class of people. AS a general
thing they are thrifty and industrious, and
have money when they have reached their
destination to buy themselves enough land
for small farms and to build decent houses
thereon.
The blacks who go TO Oklahoma do not
emigrate from any particular state. They
are from all parts Of the country. north and
south, but especially from the south. The
number Of the immigrants is not decreas-
ing. On the contrary, it is steadily increas-
ing. and it would not be surprising if the
black population should exceed the white
by the time the territory is ready to ask
admission as a state.
A couple of months ago, when the report
was published that the President was con-
sidering the advisability of appointing a
black man governor, the increase in the
black immigration was so great as to some-
what alarm the whites. If the President
had made black man governor Oklahoma
would have had an immense black popula-
tion within two or three years. Blacks
from all over the country would have gone
there, encouraged by the idea that it was a
sort of paradise for black people. The
President thought of appointing a man
named McCabe, a colored man of consider
able ability and a politician of some note
In Kansas. The white influence of the
territory, however, was against a
black governor, and, besides. the President
had some friends in Indiana to whom he
was under obligation. which he discharged
by turning the Oklahoma offices over to
them.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the re-
publican papers of Kansas aud the repub-
licans of Oklahoma are opposed to black
immigrants in Oklahoma, while the demo-
Gratis favor them. This would seem to in
dictate chat the republicans do not want any
close association with the blacks, and inter-
est themselves in behalf Of those only who
are far removed from them. The
Oklahoma blacks ere aware of
this republican hostility and resent it. If
an election were to be held now the blacks,
it is alleged, would, as rule, vote the demo-
cratic ticket. 1t would be a rather curious
thing if Oklahoma should be democratic
state through the instrumentality of black
votes.

The letter of Senator Carlisle, published
In our dispatches yesterday, relative to the
sub-treasury plan of the alliance deserves a
very careful reading by all members of the
alliance, especially by the leaders of that
organization. Mr.. Carlisle condemns it.
He says that it would do the farmers more
harm than good. He points out what he
regards as its defects, and he does 50 clearly
and strongly. What Col Livingston or Mr..
McCUne ought now to do is to show that
Mr.. Carlisle is mistaken, if they can. There
is no doubt about Mr. Carlisle's sincerity.
There is no doubt that he would favor the
sub-treasury plan if he thought the people
would be benefited by it. What the alli-
ance men want now is light. If the sub
treasury plan would not benefit them they
don't want it. Their leaders should show
that it would benefit them or abandon it.

The Covote Ahead.

One night in the early days Of Lincoln, Neb.,
an eastern man arrived with a fair-sized dog at
his heels, and it was plain enough to every one
who looked the canine over that he was a
fighter, says the New York Sun: After supper
we began to chin the man about his dog and
the way he did brag that animal up was some
thing wonderful. 1t was so wonderful that
some of the boys conspired to put up job on
him. and by and by one of them led off with:
stranger, did you ever see coyote?"

The hotel man owned a Newfoundland about
as big as calf, and to disguise him the bows
had dashed him with -four until he was as white
as sheep. He was in a dog house back of the
barn, and when all was ready we took lanterns
and went out. There was a rail pen about
twenty feet square in the rear of the barn, and
it was agreed that the stranger should turn his
dog into this.

"a coyote must have room to maneuver. He

"Oh, he'll want to run fast enough, replied
the owner of the dog.

made no move until he saw the other canine.
Then he shot out like canon ball, uttered one

The republicans in congress are far from
happy at the outlook for their effort to
''revise" the tariff. Their leaders are
divided by rival ambitions and personal
Jealousies. According to the Washington
Critic, Senator Sherman's course in the
finance committee is explained by the fact
that he is annoyed by the Napoleon business
IN politics, and that he is made very weary
by the persistent presidential aspirations of
Mr.. Allison, the smooth statesman from
iowa. He heard that it was contemplated
torefer the Mckinley bill to subcommittee.

who had the Mills bill in charge in the last
congress. The dickey bird at the same time
whispered in the weary ear of the Ohioan

report back their former bill as a substitute
Tor the Mckinley bill Whatever gratifi-
cation this might have afforded Mr.. Sher-
man as a quencher on Mckinley was lost in
the contemplation of the boom it would
give Allison. Hence the little arrangement
ne made with his friends, the enemy. to give
open hearings.

An Unkind Act.

According to the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Sun, Senator Call, of
Florida, is the victim of senatorial dis
courtesy. 1t seems that Mr.. Chipley, of
Pensacola, sent his pamphlet. in which he
reviews Senator Calls record, to each one
of the senators. This was not pleasant to
Senator Call, to say the least, and SO he
prepared reply to the pamphlets very
singing reply it was from all accounts,
perhaps little too bulky-and he asked of
the Senate permission to have it printed
of course he did not state that what
he wanted permission to publish was
reply to the pamphlet. If he
had made a statement of that kind
the permission he desired would have been
denied under the rules. According to the
Sun, he asked to have printed as ga miscel-
laneous document the resolutions and COM
munications which had been forwarded to
him on the subject of his resolution calling
for the punishment of railroad officials who
are attempting to interfere in the senatorial
fight" in Florida ''by the free distribution
of railroad transportation" He asked to
have included a letter of his own to the
people of Florida" The permission was
granted, and when Mr.. Call got his docu-
ments in shape they presented quite an i'm
posing appearance. The clerk to whom
they were given to be conveyed to the pub
lie printer was so amazed at the amount of
the written matter that he was virtually
paralyzed. He didn't take the docu-
ments to the printer He called Vice Presi-
dent Morton's attention to them, and that
official forgetting, apparently, that he had
been recently entertained in Mr.. Calls state,
consulted with number of republican SEN
ators. who decided that Mr.. Calls volume
should be withheld for further considera-
ton. According to the Sun the documents
would not have made pamphlet of more
than $50 pages, and would have paralyzed
Mr.. Chipley much more effectually than
they did the poor clerk. Permission having
been granted Mr.. Call to publish, the action
of few republican senators in multiplying
the permission was certainly outrageous.
Perhaps the documents will finally reach
the printer.

Presiding Judge Thomas Ewing, of Pitts
burg, paid his respects to the United States
supreme court for S original package de-
cision in no uncertain tone, on Tuesday, III
the case of a man charged with violating
the state game law, in exposing for sale
quail out of season. His attorney argued
that as the quail were killed in Missouri he
had committed no offense under the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court At this utterance Judge Ewing ex-
claimed that If case involving this ques-
tion came up before him the supreme court
of the United States would have another
chance at the question. He added that that
court had frequently made wrong decisions,
and had been compelled by popular up
risipgs of the people to ange them. This
is clearly contempt of court. Yo mighty

Signs of Trouble in Brazil.

There is an uneasy feeling in Brazil. Con-
fdence in the provisional government is at
a low ebb. The people are beginning to
fear that after all they are going to be
cheated out Of the republic The indica-
tions Of this fear are cropping out con-
stantly. On one day there is a revolt of a
military company, and on another a sharp
criticism in some one of the newspapers of
the government, and on still another a
refusal to obey some decree of the govern
ment.
OF course attacks on the government,
refusals to obey DEGREES and revolts are fol-
lowed by the arrest of the offenders. In
our dispatches day or two ago the state
were arousing great deal of discomfort.
Free discussion is virtually prohibited, and
the people therefore are beginning to de-
spair Of free institutions.
1t is quite certain now that the people
are not going to have a voice in the framing
of a constitution. The provisional govern
ment is preparing that instrument, and it
will be constitution, in all probability,
that will be in harmony with the govern
ment's purposes, assuming. of course, that
one Of its purposes is to continue itself in
power.
1t was the understanding soon after the
monarchy was overthrow that constitu-
tional convention would be called at once to
prepare a constitution, and that when pre-
pared it would be submitted to the people
for their action. That understanding wes
virtually abandoned long ago. 1t is now
pretty certain that there will be no assem-
bly, called to either prepare or act upon
constitution.
The provisional government has con-
stitution about prepared. 1t is understood
to be debating whether it will submit it to
popular vote-which vote it can control
or put it in operation by decree. The
chances are in favor of the adoption Of the
latter method.
If constitution prepared by a pro-
vlsional government should not be what the
people expect-should not, in fact, insure
them the republic of which they have
dreamed-there would be trouble 1t might
not present itself in a violent shape at
once, but that would be the form of it
eventually, and the authorities, even with
large army to support them, would not find
it an easy task to restore order. The people
submitted quietly to the revolution because
they wanted republic. They are not go
ing to submit quietly to being cheated out
of the republic.

Senator Stewart gave Maj. Powell, di-
rector of the geological survey, some pretty
hard blows in the Senate the other day.
The senator's remarks were based upon a
newspaper interview in which Mai. Powell
was quoted as having said that the opposi-
ton to his plans for irrigating the arid
wastes of the west came from slot of
spectators with $500 900, 900 to back them,
who were endeavoring to secure the repeal
of the law in order that they might rush in
and gobble these supply waters which the
geological survey had recently declared to
be SO valuable. Senator Stewart must have
been hit pretty hard by this statement of
Powell, because he struck out at Powell
viciously. He declared shat the settlers,
who were the persons attacked by Mai.
Powell. were poor and unable to maintain
lobby; that the only lobby was one of
enormous proportions maintained by Powell
himself out of his uncontrolled expenditure
of millions of dollars voted in lump. He
avowed himself as ready to prove that
Powell had diverted 100000 appropriated
FOR irrigation to other purposes. He as
serted that the bureau of ethnology and
geology, of which Powell was the head, was
lying-in hospital for lame ducks. 1t was
an autocratic despotism and a humbug
The only practical direction of its efforts
was possibly TO benefit generations yet un-
BORN Now that the war has been begun
between the major and the senator, some
interesting developments may be expected.
