the new commonwealth and the old
monarchy. Commercial rivalries are
also involved. The United States makes
no entangling alliances, but the attempt
TO re establish Dom Pedro on his throne
cannot succeed without European help,
and IL would be difficult to keep this coun-
try from asserting the Monroe doctrine,

while q restoration of monarchy would
be permanent Ever since the peaceful
deposition and exile of Dom Pedro in
trigues have been going on in Europe
Brazilian statesmen have known all this,
and they have also felt the influence OF
the Emperor's partisans at, home. But
by wise course IL was thought they
might forestall the actual move TO re-
store the Emperor. Dom Pedro found
little encouragement in Portugal. The
house of Braganza had claims enough
on the Portuguese monarchy by relation
ship and tradition, but the republican
sentiment In Portugal is so strong that
the monarchy has tronble enough to take
care OF itself. The same Is true of
Spain, where CASTELAR, heralded the fall
of the Brazilian monarchy with resoic-
ing. France had no asylum because an
Orleanist Prince was the Emperor g
son-in-law and his wife was to become
Queen on Dom Pedro's death The
French Republic has had enough OF Or
leans conspiracies at home without CIV
ing help to them abroad. But in
Germany there was kindly feeling
toward the deposed monarch. Germany
was also anxious to extend her influence
in South America. The Car of Russia
took the exile "of his brother" Dom
Pedro as a personal atfiiction and for a
year refused to recognize that there was
Brazilian Republic. Queen Victoria
was also shocked at the way a ruler by
divine right had been shipped out Of his
own country. The English merchants
did not care so much for the sentiment
OF the thing, but they saw its CONNER
cial bearing. So the weight Of English
influence was thrown against the new
commonwealth.
President Fonseca and his advisers
knew they had nothing to hope for from
Europe and they turned expectantly to
the United States. They were not dis
appointed, for the administration simply
reflected public sentiment in recogniz-
ing and upholding the republic. The
reciprocity treaty followed. II was a
good trade arrangement for both coun-
tries,-but with the Brazilian statesmen
commerce was secondary considera-
tion. They wanted to be closer TO the
northern republic and to be assured oi
its moral support II the struggle to re-
establish the monarchy came to pass
The reciprocity treaty was made the
point of attack by the enemies Of the re
public, and the British influence was
directed against it.

through ignorance Of its proper working
on the part of both the voters and the

lost. This state of affairs was brought
about by the mistakes of the voters In
marking their tickets and the inability
of Judges to handle the crowds In pre-
cincts where the registration was heavy.
OF course this hardship came alone to
those who had put off the task OF voting
until the last moment allowed under
the law, and then there was not enough
time to handle them properly. Other
