LONDON, Nov. 20.-News concerning the
situation in Brazil continues to be very
meagre and unsatisfactory.
The last advices by way Of Santiago indi-
cate that the Provisional Junta In authority
in the State Of Rio Grande do Sui is taking
active measures 10 strengthen its position
and to maintain the opposition OF the State to
Fonseca's dictatorship.
Fonseca, on the other hand, is trying 10 win
the allegiance OF the Junta by conciliatory
course.
Baron Lucerne, the President OF Fonseca's
Cabinet, has sent . despatch TO the Junta
Offering on the part OF the Dictator to recog-
nize any local government that the people OF
Rio Grande do Sui may prefer. on the sole
condition that peace and tranquility be frst
restored.
To this ofYer the Junta, after brief delibera-
ton, replied that the forces would only dis
arm when FonsecA shall have resigned and

Ekesa by force. And returning to Vita Levu
he brought her before his father, who sat In
state, surrounded by his chiefs and priests.
And seeing this array about her, as though to

The New York Advocate is
suggesting that any display of IL
quors at the National Exhibition
at Chicago should be prohibited.
I am decidedly of the same opin-
ion. l think this is a matter of
much more Importance than the
Sunday closing Of the Exhibition.
The observance of Sunday is re-
ligious idea that does not at all in
volve the question OF morals.
The province OF law is to see
that no man shall trespass upon
the rights of another or unneces-
sarily jeopardize his safety and
comfort.
A man can observe Sunday as a
Sabbath, or fail to do so, without
at all opposing any other man in
his rights, and it is therefore not a
subject for civil legislation. But
no man can make, or use liquors,
without rendering himself more or
less liable to damage others, and
therefore such an exposition should
no more allow an exhibition of IL
quors than it would allow a manu-
tac.urer of burglars tools or of
counterfeiters' appliances to exhibit
his product.
At a recent exposition at Cincin-
natl for the purpose Of raising
funds for the support of society
for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. very attractive feature
was a liquor display.
Almost anybody would have
said a display of ingenious methods
by which cruelty to animals can be
practiced so as to avoid detection,
would have been peculiarly inap-
propriate for that place; but it was
not thought inexpedient to make
display Of the most ef!e :tual mode
ofpracticing cruelty to human be-
ings.
Every Prohibition newspaper in
America should express its I'M
qualified reputation Of PROPOSE
ton to make a national exposition
the means of advertising and there
by furthering, a business which is
in direct opposition to the interest
of every other business, and calcu-
lated to decrease the happiness of
a people, the increase Of whose
happiness and prosperity is the
very purpose Of the Exposition.
