The report from Brazil that the state of Rio
Grande do Sui has seeded from the confedera-
tior since the president has dismissed congress
and declared martial law is more serious than
would appear at first glance. One of about
nineteen states, lately provinces, its action may
be thought a rash thing, but the extent of the
discomfort in the other parts of the republic
will show whether the movement will prove
Immediately disastrous to the seeding state
or not. The state of Rio Grande do Sui con-
tains a large German population and its army
has 200 of these Germans, all well drilled and
Offered 1t could give President Fonseca a
great deal of trouble even if all the other states
were well disposed toward the general govern
ment

Management OF figures 1t is only question OF
parallel columns and elementary knowledge OF
political arithmetic. Some of these parallels
are very, sery deadly. The good thing for the
opposi,lon party is that their execution is on
paper only. Thus an aritbmetical hand may
throw all the states which went republican ut
the last preside niial election and al the Six

Mr. Howells in Harper for November makes
a fine point against those people in England
who are always demanding distinctive Ameri-
can literature. He says 1t is as absurd to ask
for literature as for a language wholly our
own And, instancing the displeasure at, not
TO say fear of, 'Americanisms' of language, he
tells these critics that they should beware lest
were America to produce a national literature,
il would become the literature Of the whole
English race. 1t is certainly just easy a
thing as making the American the prevailing
type Of English speech

Brutality is one OF the inexcusable crimes
something not to be looked for among those
whose lives are devoted to the alienation of
physical suffering. The doctor at Cumberland,
Md, who seved up railroad mans wound and
then because the unfortunate cripple had not
tive dollars TO pay his fee cut the stitches and
undid his ~ork, should not be permitted TO
practice in any civilized community. If the
law can reach hin. all humane people will re-
joice- Sucn savasery would disgrace the most

A church congress for debate only is a much
more unrestrained body than the legislative
council, convention, conference, synod or as
Sembly. II may discuss a wider range of sub
jects and consider them less technically ard
perhaps moro profoundly as well as more
broadly. larger number Of topics come
within its purview that are social rather than
religious. The idea that exists in some churches
that the sphere of the church is strictly con-
fined to things spiritual is fast giving way to a
broader conception Of the churchs relations
and obligations There arc many subjects OF
public character which the ecclesiastical body
NAV treat with as much propriety as and even
more advantage to society than the body poll
tic or is various representatives.. Some o.
these will be before the congress Of the Prot
essant Episcopal Church, which meets here on
the 18th instant The sessions Of this distin-
guished body will probably be among the most
interesting ever held, for it will have here
every incentive for free, broad and able discus
sion that the seat of a great national govern
ment can give to n dehberatiye assembly.

Royalty celebrated two noted anniversaries
IN Europe Yesterday. The car reached his
silver wedding and the Prince OF Wales his
fitch birthday. The Russian court had the
grace TO celebrate quietly. not only because OF
the expected death of the second son, but on
account OF the famine that causes great suffer-
ing among the peasantry.
