Some interesting details regarding move
ments in the United States OF Brazil were
brought by vessel which reached this port
Yesterday, including the text Of several de-
crees issued by the Provisional Government
during last month. The most notable of these
is that which pronounced banishment on Dom
Pedro and his family forbade them to own
property in Brazil, commanded the sale within
two years of such property as they possess, and
revoked the decree granting 100000 milreis
to the ex Emperor, at the same time cutting off
his civil list from December TO- This action
does not meet with unanimous approval in
Brazil. for "The Rio News declares it sheer
cruelty and ingratitude." Another decree of
general interest is that providing for the cleo
ton on September 10, 1890, of members OF a
constituent assembly, which is to consist of a
single chamber. Thus ten months must elapse
from the establishment of the republic before
the people have an opportunity to set the stamp
of their approval upon it. An earlier date for
the elections would seem TO be more in keeping
with republican principles as they are under
stood in our own United States.

CivilService Commissioner Roosevelts re-
port, which he has just made, on political as
sessments in the New-York CustOm-HOuse prior
to the last Presidential election, is interesting
and instructive. He finds that in the Naval
Office the law prohibiting such assessments was
strictly regarded that in the Custom House
proper many of the employees contributed to the
Democratic campaign fund under more or less
compulson, and that in Surveyor Beattie's Of
fee every man was forced to pay an assessment.
The force was applied by hints, by petty an
noyances, and by "veiled threats and covert
intimidation" Mr.. Beattie is not directly
charged with completely in this matter, but he
could not have been ignorant of what was
going on under his eyes The practical result
of the investigation will be the laying of
charges against some of the violators of the
law. In time it will become clear to Democrats
as well as to Republicans that this law was put
on the Statute-book to be obeyed.

The opponents Of marriage with deceased
wifc's sister will no longer be able to base their
principal argument upon the famous text con-
tanned in Lcvitcus vhi,, Is. For according
to a letter which has just been received by the
Marriage Law Reform Association in England
from Professor Schroeder, the president OF the
lmpcral German Commission for the Revision
Of the Bible the correct translation of the verse
from tie Hebrew is 50 construed to mean that
a man must not take his sstcr-in-law as his
wife while her sister is alive. That is to say he
must not have two wives living at the same
time. in his house. who are sisters. On point
of this kind the opinion Of the greatest Biblical
scholar in Germany-a land which has proud
prccmineucc rs regards Scriptural cXcgesis--is
important. Luther'S text is in essential agree
mcnt with Professor Schroedcr's rendering of the
passage This is a different thing from a Biblical
command moi to we'd q siscr-in-law after the wifcs
death. Although marriage with deceased wifc's
sister is still legally prohibited in England. and
the issue thereof is llcgiimate in the eyes of the
law. yet society is beginning tacitly TO tolerate
such unions.
