The distinction between English society
and that Of other countries is that the in
tellectual stah dard Of contemporary Eng
lish society is much lower thau that Of
any like body which has ever made any
figure even in its own time Americans
who are not amusing. but who are able
and willing to spend large amounts Of
money In order TO be received into English
society may proftably ponder the sclos
ures made IN the case OF Sir William
dordon Cumming. No society anywhere
could hold together for a week without
some sort OF moral code In society that
solaces it's leisure by gambling, cheating
~ cards is, of course, the hrst AMI
most grieyous of special ofTenses, aud
this offsnse there appears to be no doubt
that Sir William Gordon Cumming has
committed. Every step that he has taken
since he was charged with committing it
betrays his consciousness Of guilt But
not only his social position, but his place
In the army depended upon his taking
some measures TO repel the charge. IL Is
gratifying To know that there are some
moral delinquencies that are considered
grave by London society. The plaintiff

de might have cheated tradsmen or con
iding investors, but It was not open to
him to cheat the members Of his own set
with whom he played cards The best
thing for him to have done when he was
found out was doubtless either to put an
end TO his life, II his social position was
necessary to his happiness, or else to
abscond and undertake to earn an honest
and obscure living far from ths maddiug
crowd Of London society" But, If he
staid, then Il was obligatory upon him TO
bring suit Of SANDER against his aocusers
His hope in this must have been that his
accusers would not be able to bring his
guilt home to him, and that he might
escape with verdict Of mot proven, ia
spite OF which many have held up their
heads and honrIshed In London society
But the conviction of every body who fol

guilty, and the social and professional

though he escapes the legal penalties

No Longer Doubt Of the State Of
Affairs in Brazil.
ALARMING REPORTS VIA LONDON.
The Revolt in Rio Grande do Sui Spread

Gus.

LONDON, Nov. 14-There is no
longer doubt that Brazil is in the
throes of a civil war, and that most
serious uprisings of troops and citizens
against the authority of Marshal da
Fonseca, the dictator, have taken
place. The reports classed as sensa-
tional and unfounded which have been
in circulation here for a week past,
and which have increased in gravity
hour by hour, seem not to have been
exaggerated in the slightest In fact,
it would appear that the true state of
affairs is much more alarming than
already stated
Important dispatches have been re-
ceived here in spite of the strict censor
ship observed by the dictators orders
over all telegraph and cable offices. 1t
is true these messages have been of the
briefest nature and in cipher, pur-
posely distorted and changed to deceive
the censors, but enough is known for it
to be stated that according to these dis
patches civi war is raging in Brazil,

Credit to the Farmers.

There was no class of citizens to
whom more credit was due for the
result of the last election than the
farmers. The Hutchinson News
aptly expresses their part Of the cam
paign when it says: In the recent
election which resulted so successfully
to the republican party there was a
certain class of men 10 whom much
credit is due and that class is composed
of stalwart, clear minded, backbOned
republican farmers. Their good judg-
ment held them to the history and
the principles of their party. They
stood up against great odds and argued
with their more numerous political
foes. They felt they were right and
the misguided alliance farmers also
honestly maintained their side of the
case. But the alliance men were mis-
informed. They had been given 1.-The
Seven Conspiracies" and much other
like matter which on its face seemed
plausible, but in reality was a hollow
sham and mockery. The republican
farmers armed themselves with facts
and logically debated the questions Of
the day and with splendid results.
They were also active in the machin-
cry of politics. They attended pri-
maries and conventions and saw to it
that good men we're placed upon the
ticket. They assisted in making dates
for school house meetings and helped
get out crowd. They advised with
candidates and aided and assisted
them. They knew the committee had
no money with which to hire workers
and they therefore worked themselves.
When election day came they went and
voted, and when the report went out
that the day was carried, they felt they
had done their duty and were well re-
paid. The credit of the victory be-
longs to no particular class of republic
cans, but much is due the farmers who
stood by their party, their homes, their
credit and the good name and fame OF
their state.

Illinois only one-third of the counties

supply being deficient in more than
forty counties In Ohio some counties
report the stand not so good as last

water supply is very low. From
Missouri few good reports are
received. Indiana starts out with a lit

lucky is poor in half the counties, fair

cent of the counties report conditions
fair and good. In Nebraska and Wis
consin the status varies greatly accord

1t is worth while from time to time
to call attention to the fact that the
treasury which was Economically
bankrupt last spring, and according to
the same authorities has been getting
worse off every month since, now
holds on hand little matter of six
hundred and ninety-six million, not
including certificates in treasury vaults
of which nearly two hundred and sixty
four millions is in gold, about four
hundred and ten millions in silver,
sixteen millions in treasury notes and
six millions In bank notes. In addi-
ton thetreasury has deposits in banks,
which are now reduced to about the
largest amount for many years allowed
to be kept there prior to the democratic
distribution of funds TO selected banks.
Meanwhile the treasury has largely
increased the currency in circulation.

Kansas Campaign Literature.

There have been a number of lead.
ing republican papeIs-Of the state dis
cussing the reed of cheap campaign lit
erature for distribution among the peo'
pie to offset the trash spread broadcast
by the calamityites. Attention has
been called to the fact that such dOcu-
ments as 'Seven COnspiracieS, 1.-The
Red Dragon" and a dozen other con-
generations of anarchy and cOmmun-
ism are sold at trifllng sum while re-
publican books and DOp-partisan books
containing the facts and refuting the
falsehoods disseminated by the green
back union labor outfit cost dollar or
more per volume.
1t is perhaps impracticable to fur
nish such works as completely Iefute
the perniciOus doctrines at small sum
under the existing copyright laws. Such
books as are needed will gradually
be put on the market at low price by
private publishers until the campaign
committees are able to supply them
more reasonably. But in the mean
while there is a plain and easy method
by which there can be put in the hands
of the republicans of the state, the best
of campaign literature. Every republi-
can is a reader of newspapers. 1t is
characteristic of the party that its m1m-
bers are above the average in intelli-
gence and cultivation. But there are
hundreds of newspapers which cannot
publish the best of the campaign docu-
ments. They have not the type nor the
time. The editors would gladly do so
if they could, but they cannot, hence it
is few big city dailies that publish
the best arguments while the country
weeklies, that come nearest the people,
do not.
If arrangements could be made by
the central committee by which some
plate concern or some stereotyping
house could put into plates at a small
cost the best matter of the day and
sell the plates cheaply, every Fepubli-
can paper in the state could afford to
use more or less of it. Take for in
stance John II. Riee's latest letter,
take the excellent matter with tables
published in the league bulletin, take
tables of mortgage reductions and Oc-
casional convincing speeches. The
plate concerns of today do not give
them because the companies are nom
partisan, or if they publish partisan
plates put into them only articles of
national interest. Local politics are
eft untouched both in plates and. in
patent insides.
The peoples party does not neglect
his opening. Their ''refOrm press
association" has plates prepared and
many Of its papers use them. The
epublican party of Kansas could do no
work more valuable than having pre-
JARED under some competent hand two
o four columns of live state republican
every week from now until
Sov. Z, 1892 and sell the use of the
ame in plates to the country news
'apers at cost. Thousands Of republi-
ans and others would then read this
aluable campaign literature who !

and that the latter have wounded and

that Da Fonseca's troops have been de-

may be looked forward to, as the die
tator has openly announced his inten-

his power.
The first dispatch said that force of
4 600 Brazilian troops of the garrison
had revolted, and it was naturally in
ferred that it was revolt upon the
part of the garrison at Rio Janeiro.
Such, however, does not seem to have
been the case, for later message had it
that the troops forming the garrisons of
several Brazilian towns had revolted,
and that in all 4, 900 men had risen
against the dictator.
In addition the revolt in the province
of Rio Grande do Sui is spreading so
rapidly that a large body of we'll |

The Electoral College,

The national election next year will
be under the new appOrtlonment bill
which makes the total number of
electors 444. The republicans will
gain more than the democrats and can
lose either Indiana or New York and
win. The democrats must carry New
York or lose the election. The 'Mich-
iganizing'' of the state of Michigan
gives the democracy four votes from a
solidly republican state and the south
will give the party by fair or foul
means 159 votes.
Assuming that New York goes dem
ocratic and Indiana republican, the
electoral vote is likely to be as follows:
