any attemrt to deny that the Province
of Rio GNande do sui in declaring its
independence. Great excitement pre-
vails at 10 de Janeiro and throughout
Brazil 1t is reported that Marshal da
Fonseca has been informed that he is
suffering from disease which must soon
cause his death and that he has an
nounced his willingness to resign the
reins of power. The German popula-
! ton of Rio Grande do Sui is reported to
! be organizing into armed bodies OF men
on the plan of the Dutch settlers of
South Africa and to be determined to de-
fend the independence OF their new
State.
Rio Grandc do Sui is the sixth largest
| province in Brazil, the other five being
Ceara, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de jan
GIRO, Mfnas. Geraes, and San Paulo. 1t
has an area of 91,335 square miles, q
population of SGD, 527, and is situated at
the extreme southeastern point of Bra
I'll, bordering On the frontiers of Uru7
quay. 1t has coat line of 400 miles,
but not many ports OF Importance, ow-
ing to the difficulty of navigation in
their harbors. Nevertheless it has con-
siderable commerce and promises to be-
come one OF the most prosperous of all
the Brazilian provinces. 1t has valua-
bic coal mines, important fisheries,
raises large herds of cattle and hand
some crops or wheat, which is made into
flour in its own mills. The lta ian col
onists produce 25, 900 pipes of wine an
nually. Wool is grown and cloth man
ufactured, and fine cassimeres from its
merinos are sold in Rio .Ianeiro.

is largely coionized by Germans, and
maintains an army of $4,000 men of
German origin. The statement, how
ever, is not altogether correct. A Ger
man colony of 126 persons was organized
at san Leopoldo by Pedro I. in 1924,
which has increased since that time to
over 100000 The dispatch, therefore,
must refer rather to the entire German
population than to the number in the
army. though it is not improbable that
q liberal element Of Germans or German
descendants are to be found in the ranks,
and that to this extent it will be found
superior to the native forces when it is
called into action. Out of this colony
forty-three others have sprung in this
province, the members of which are
largely engaged in agricultural pursuits,
the principal one of which is the Guilt
walton Of tobacco. Their whole mum
Der, however, does not reach $4,000.
1t will be seen from this general
sketch that in military strength and re-,
sources Rio Grande do Sui is in posi-
ton to make ser Gus trouble for the die
tator. If the revolution breaks out in
other provinces, as now appears likely,
it is not impossible that he may meet
with fac akin to that of Balmaceda,
so far at least as defeat is concerned.
The situation, indeed, is deporable
one, but there appears to be no other So
luton of the problem than by the stern
and bloody arbitrament OF civil war.
The cause of the present trouble may
best be judged from tho following
language of the Primate of Brazil, so
far back as February, threatening If

When, on the 18th of November, 1889,
Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, was
hustled on board steamer at Rio ia
metro, and shipped to Lisbon, the world
regarded the feat as the most completely
successful and absolutely bloodless revo-
luton in all history. Those nations, like
our own. who had ceased to respect the
divine theory of monarchs, clapped their
hands with 10y and welcomed another
and important acquisition to the great
family of republics. Though that revo-
luton was as unexpected as it was thor
ough, preparations had been made for it
rs for back as 1888, BY the establishment
of military club, which was the focus of
republican ideas, and of hon the leading
spirit was President Da ronseca. Dom
Pedro, who had ruled the country since
1881, was man, like Abraham Lincoln,
who, if he erred at all, erred on the side
Of mercy. Like Lincoln, he lad also

THERE must be something little
irregular in public sentiment in
Omaha. The World-Hcrald speaking
of the attendance at an exposition in
that city, says: Round about the
gallows where Ed Neil looked last on
earth the children played last night,
and in the shadow which fell from it
cast by the electric lights, men and
women gathered to look on. Even
the steps up to the platform were
travcrsed by hundreds of feet, is
those more curious or more DESTROYS
of being seen than the others, went
aloft to look down. There's no deny
ing it, the gallows was the strong
card. The World-Herald says moth
ing of its being unusual in American
cities to keep gibbet standing in the
vicinity Of an exposition.

The earthquake across the central
portion Of the Mississippi Valley
from Memphis to Keokuk, extending
on the east to Louisville and west for
a shorter distance from the river, re-
calls the great earthquake which had
its center at New Madrid early in
this century, and which was one of
the most severe known in this coun-
try. All great river valleys have
their shocks and slips, generally in a
line parallel with their course-this
one ran north and southland which
are ordinarily attributed to the
changes due to erosion and the de-
post OF alluvium which change the
balance OF the earth's crust. 1t is in.
teresting to note that in the present
instance the shock was in general
confined to the territory on each side
of the Mississippi and it's tributaries
under 500 feet of elevation. The
places reported as feeling the shock
are nearly all below this elevation,
and the 500-foot contour line runs
back farther on the left than on the
right bank of the Mississippi at this
point, which may account for the
wider eastward extent Of the shock.

The founding of new converts and
monastic orders was strictly prohibited.
The authorities of the church did not
therefore take very kindly to the repub-
he, and being favored in their intrigues by
I'll the monarchists and the owners of the
liberated slaves, the clergy last Febru-
Try secured the modification of those
temporary laws which legaized civil
marriages, secularized the cemeteries,
and excluded the monastic orders from
the control of the public schools. At
that time the provisional ministry of the
Pres dent resigned, and Brazil adopted

really a compromise between the princi-
plies of republicanism and the sulen
attitude of the clergy. For example.

The Kansas City Journal is looking
long way ahead of present condi-
tions, though according to it's own
statement those conditions seem to be
fixed beyond all hope Of change in the
near future. 1t says, "Kansas City is
beyond a doubt going to be the big
wheat market Of the West, and all
the railroad combinations in the
world cannot prevent it," Yet in the
next breath it tells it's readers that
$50 long as the present system prevails
it will be impossible to determine the
value Of bushel of wheat here, and
this fact will greatly interfere with
trading" And this, though the same
article admits that "the joint grain
agency Of the railroads centering in
Kansas City has been in operation for
several weeks. 1t has given rise to
no complaint, and proved as satisfac-
tory to both grainmen and railroads
as a mere makeshift can" 1t looks
very much as il the article in ques-
tion was a joint-stock production,
written by two individuals who fol-
lowed the advice given by Denis
Kearney to the Californians, "Pool
your issues" II not incubated in
that way it may have been produced
under some such influence as that
which controlled the man who once
wrote an article about ",The Elbows Of
the Mincio."

In nearly every case where the
funds held in a tiduciary capacity
have disappeared the method of easy
plumber has been due to two causes:
First, the absence Of supervision, leav-
ing bank officers without external
check when exposed to the temptation
of cupidity or dishonesty; and, second,
the disposition of the officials to use
the funds intrusted to their charge in
speculative enterprises generally akin
to pure gambling. Back of all this,
of course, is the prevalent social
theory that it is the duty Of every
man TO get rich without much regard
to the means by which he does so.
