The abdication of Fonseca, whatever
may have been its motive, is undoubtedly
good thing for Brazil. While it cannot be
said to secure the peaceful establishment
OF such government as the people desire
1t furnishes opportunity for such consum-
nation. Had he held on to the dictator
ship conflict would have been inevitable,
for the rebels of Rio Grande do Sui de-
clared that they would never submit except
to force until Fonseca stepped down and
out What the process of reconstruction
of the government will be 1t is impossible
to tell. Fonseca had ordered new cleo
ton for members of Congress in February.
Whether that will be held now that Fon-
SEGA has resigned, or whether the old Con.
gress will reassemble, it is impossible to
say. The situation is such, however, as to
seem to necessitate the speedy assembling
of the old Congress.

The performance Of Hills returning
board In counting out the Republican Sena-
tor In Duchess county leaves little room
for doubt that that eminent statesman has
made up his mind to steal the New York
Senate. and can only be prevented from
SO doing by the interference of the courts.
The Democratic candidate for Senator was
counted in by taking advantage of the
same kind of technicalities which the
Garcelon canvassing board made use of in
their attempt to steal the State of Maine in
1879. Common decency was outraged and
common honesty was set at naught. The
object that Hill has In view is stated cor
rectly no doubt by the New York Evening
Post, which says:
Some people wonder why Hill should be 90
anxious TO have Democratic legislature next
winter, In view of the fact that he will have
ceased to be governor when the lawmakers
meet. It Is because Democratic lepisIatnre II
essential to his Presidential boom. A Demo
cratic national convention will never think al
nominating man for President who is al the
time a Senator. and who represents a State
which at the last previous election chose !
Republican legislature TO fill the seat IL he
should resign it. With Republican legislature
AZ Albany next winter, there would be NJ
pie candidate for the Presidency. That is VIII
ne Is trying to steal the body from the Republf
cans, to whom it belongs.
1t remains to be seen whether Hill's grip
upon the courts is as firm as his control OF

In a letter to the Concord Monitor of
Tuesday, the Hon. William E. Chandler
makes some very grave charges against
Bank Examiner Magruder who had charge
OF the official inspection Of the Maverick
bank. and Messrs Jones, Sinclair and Fur
Der OF the Boston and Maine railroad. The
letter Is over Mr.. Chandler's own signature
so that he accepts the full responsibility
Mr.. Chandler alleges that Mr.. Magruder
deliberately deceived the Comptroller of
the currency In regard to the condition of
the Maverick bank. he also charges that
Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Sinclair and Mr.. Furber
knew all about the banks condition yet
increased their railroad deposit. Substan
TALLY this is charge that the officers of a
great railroad corporation who were the
guardians and trustees of the stockholders
property and bound to protect it, deliber.
ately jeopardjzed 1t by placing it In bank
which they knew was In failing circum
stances. Mr.. jones says the charge II
false. He ought not to stop there howey
er. He should bring suit for libel In tn,

S6.72 per ton duty, which scarcely PAID US Tor
the labor Of converting them into rods;
Then there Is the tremendously nign tailn on
g grssatiy 70 the disadvantage of the New Eng
land nSanufactIlrer. Under these circumstance
es could not continue not lns,n, lot TO tell
the truth, while we We're NY ieoSlng money, we
were unable to make II prohtaple.
Here are three idistinct causes enumer-
ated for the failure: First, scarcity of old
iron rails; second, the tremendously high
tax on pig iron; and third the Interstate
commerce law which operates to the disad.
vantage of New England. We suppose
that the Argus will admit that the lMcKin-
ley bill has had nothing to do with the
scarcity Of iron rails, at any rate that n
could not have made them higher, for
whereas the duty under the old law was
nine-tenths of a cent pound, under the
new law it is only six-tenths of cent a
pound. The junior partner gives the trua
explanation of the scarcity of iron rails
when he says that the railroad companies
are almost all using STEEL Therefore the
first cause of the suspension cannot possi.
bly, be laid to the Mckinley bill. The
third cause. the unfavorable operation of
the Interstate commerce law, manifestlv
has nothing to do with the Mckinley hill
The remaining cause Is the ''tremendouslv
high tax on pig iron" and 1t is this cause
the Argus refers to when it declares that
the Mckinley bill is bearing Dead Sea
fruit. If the Argus had taken the tronbla
to consult the Mckinley bill and compare
it with the old tariff law and with the bill
which Mr.. Mills prepared few years ago
"a bill by the way which. was heartily en-
dorsed by the Argus--it would have ais.
covered that the duty on pig iron in the
Mckinley law Is precisely the same as Il
was in the old law, and precisely the same
as it was in the bill which Mr.. Mills SUBJ
mitted to the House of Representatives in
1888 and which passed that body, nearly all
the Democrats voting for it.
The Mckinley law provides that "iron
In pigs" shall pay duty of three-tenths of
cent pound. The provision of the old
law was precisely the same. The proyis-
ions of the Mills bill was as follows:
Iron in pigs, iron kentledge SO per ton.
A very simple computation will convince
| the Argus that Sc per ton is equivalent to
three tenths of cent pound. the exact
duty Of the Mckinley law.
So it appears that had the Mills bill
become law this Cambridgeport mill
would have had to pay exactly the same
duty on pig iron it has had to pay under
the Mckinley law. Old iron rails would
have been no more plenty under the Mills
bill, for their scacity is attributable to the
use of steel rails; and the Mills bill could
have made no difference in the operation
OF the Interstate commerce law.
How. then, under the benign operation
of the Mills bill-the ideal Democratic
tariff measure-could the Cambridgeport
rolling mills have been any better off than
they are today? viii the Argus explain (?
1t looks as though our esteemed contem-
porary's zeal in discrediting the Mckinley
law was not according to knowledge.

In Northamptonshire, we follow the Jour
neyings of the lartist and his companion
along the various Mindings of the Avon
until 1t is gathered to the greater Severn.
AT convenient intervals, maps are inserted
showing clearly the territory passed over.
The story of an interesting region lis inter-
estingly told. We are reminded by the
juncture of the Swift with the Avon, of
Wiclif whose "ashes were conveyed by
this brook into Avon, by Avon into Severn
by Severn into the marrow seas, by them
into the main ocean," thus becoming the
emblem of his doctrine which has spread
throughout the world.
Rugby brings to mind DIR. Arnold who

is the most attractive spot. Here 1t is
"easy to live back for moment to that
