Republican Gains in Massachusctts.

Boston, Nov. 4.-The legislature shows
decided republicans gains. The sena;e
with five districts to hear from, stands
% republicans to IL democrats and the
missing districts will probably give one
republican and two democrats with two
doubtful. The house at present stands
l15 republicans, IS democrats.

IN TURBULENT BRAZIL.
Martial Law Proclaimed in the New
south American Republic.
INO YEARS UNDER GEN. FOySECA
The Period has been Marked ~ Frsqusss
Small ksvsiutioaary MossasaA-Af-
fair. at state stlll in an In
sstlisd Csasitiss.

Rio Jane.ro, Nov. 4.-The Congress
has resolved that martial law Dc pro
claimed and Tie dictatorship re-esiaD-
llsAed.
London, Nov. 4.-No particulars oil
rhe reported trouble in Brazil have
been received. dispatch from Rio
JaEeiro says congress has been dis
so4yed, ana the county is under
martial law. It = known taat inere
has been growing friction between
the legislative AMI executive branches
oi .he government Tor some time past,
aud II Is supposed that the iii-ieeliag
has finally resulted IN crisis.
IL Is but two years ago that Brazil
experienced the graa test oi ali its poll
teal revolutions, when, on the 10Th
o. November, 1889, The moCsarchy OF
Dom Pedro gave way 10 the republic
over which General da fonseea was
subsequently made president. The
emperor, VINO had reigned since 1881,
and the empress were then placed on
board a steamer in the harbor OF Rio
Janeiro and sent of 10 foreign lands
10 pass the remainder oi their days.
The first national congress OF Brazil
was convoked one year later, and y
constitution prepared by the provi-
s!onal government was submitted for
it's sanction. The title of the new goy~
ernment is the United States oil Brazil,
and each of the twenty-one old pro-
yinces of he empire was costituted a
state. with powers and responsabiii-
ties like those possessed and resting
upon states of this government. Tho
congress, composed of a chamber of
deputie and n senate, would. under
this constitution, meet annually May
3 and sit for four months, but might
be prorogued or convened extraordin-
arily at the viii OF the president. The
presidential term was fixed at six
years and an electoral college system
something like that OF the United
States was instituted. The president
was TO have the naming OF his minis
ters. The franchise was bestowed upon
all citizens over 21 years OF age duly
enrolled. except beggars. ill.ter.tes.
soldiers actually serving and members
of monastic orders. etc. under vows
of obedience. This constitution was
adopted by the congress and approved
by vote OF the people.
There have been frequent disturb
dnces since the establishment W thN
republic. but none OF them has att inel
to the full dignity of n rebellion. The
soldiers at Rio Janeiro not long ago
made mutinous demonstrations he
cause their pay was IN arrears. That
affair was t'ded over. however.

ON THE PLATFORM.

1t is now stated on apparently good
authority that ex-senator ingalls, will
shortly make an appearance on the lecture
platform. lie has been tempted with an of
Ter Of $500 a night for fifty nights. This
viii give him the sum of $4,000. 1t will be
remarked, probably, that the proceeds of
one lecturing season will be a little in ex-
cess of four years salary as a Senator.
Possibly many persons will jump at the
conclusion that the United States should
pay Senators as much as the same men can
earn out Of the Senate. But it should be
remembered that Mr.. Ingalls, value as
lecturer is based not so much on the literary
character Of his lectures as upon his reputa-
ton. His service in the Senate gave him
prominence which his admitted ability ena-
bled him TO convert into fame. Articles from
his pen of probably equal merit with his
lectures can be had for the price of mag
azine; but still a good many people win
sooner give a dollar to see and hear the
man. Probably the offer that has been
made to Mr.. ingalls, would hardly be ex-
tended to any other member of the Senate
of the last Congress.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-05-09
MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

The public are TO be congratulated on the
conviction Of Sydney Bell of murder in the
first degree. We have found one jury at
least that has done its duty There was no
hesitation. no difference of opinion. Even
the irrepreSsible crank who generally
figures on juries and has opinions Of his own
which he will not yield was absent on this
occasion. The evidence, it is true, was
clear; but we have seen other cases in
which there was ample proof, and yet which
resulted in a disagreement among the
jurors Sydney Bell will probably get the
desert of his crime.
The event is matter of felicitation, not
only because il Will have a tendency to
check the spread of highway robbery, but
likewise because it will teach the criminal
class that they must discriminate in their
crimes. If Bell, after trying to rob his
man. had simply knocked him down or run
away when resistance was offered, he would
to-day have had 10 worse fate in store than
a few years in the ppnitentary. As it is,
he stands under the shadow Of the gallows,
and the community Of which he has been
member is satisfied With his doom. His
fate viii teach the members of the class to
which he belonged that it is a far graYer
crime to take life than to take property,
and that if they persist in living by robbing,
thoughtful concern for their necks will
dictate the wisdom Of leaving their guns at
home.
The modern reform in the criminal law
which abolshes the death penalty in all
cases but those of murder in the first de-
gree was designed for the preservation OF
lie. When a long string Of crimes were
punished by hanging, a malefactor ran
little risk by adding murder to his other
miSdeeds. The hOuse-breaker knew that if
he was caught he would probably hang. and
that he did not make his case much worse
by killing the man who tried to arrest him.
Nothing worse than hanging could befall
him; he did nos increase the peril in which
he stood by using the pistol or the knife, and
deXtrOus use of either might secure his
escape. Modern codes teach the robber
that when he adds murder to robbery he
sggravates his position very seriously indeed.
That seems TO have been pretty gang to
