has begun. The peach crop has
been injared by frost in many

BAD FINANCE.

On the S1st of May last the funded e1.
ternal DEBT of Brazil amounted to $780,
A2, 500, while the corresponding internal
debt footed up 1901, 975, 200, and there was
in addition floating debt of about
81, ZOO, 900. The annual interest charge on
the total debt il nearly SIS, 00O, 900. or con-
siderably more than one-quarter of the
estimated national revenue. The total
expenditures for 1890 were $122, 49,, 955, an
increase of SIC, 797, 800 over those of the
preceding year, and of about $3s, 900, 900
over the average annual expenditures from
1880 to 1887. Over $4,000, 900 of floating
debt was paid off between the fall of the
empire and the end of May last by the
substitution of bonds Of the foreign loan
for the unfunded claims upon the treasury.
Brazilian securities are looked upon
with distrust on the London market: the
~ bonds are at discount of Is points,
and the 4s at discount of 3d.
The parliament, which passed the act of
emancipation of May 1888. provided sub
sequently that the government should
loan money to the planters at fixed rate
Of interest, and upon the security of their
lands. Between June % and October IA,
1889, contracts were made with seventeen
banks to advance the ex-slave-owners
some $96, coo 900 for one-half of which sum
the government became security.
At first the currency was based upon
suitable reserve of bonds and gold but
soon the privilege was granted to the Ma
tIonal Bank of issuing s135, 900, 900 in paper
on capital of $45, 900, 600.
The government continued to authorize
paper expansion, until the issue of bank
notes reached a total of SILL, 500, 900, and
IN all kinds of currency there was afioat
total Of 1870, 100000 of paper money, and
enterprises and companies had been organ
lied upon capital on paper of 1885,
100000. The value Of the milreis, the unit
OF the monetary system of Brazil, was
fixed at q pence by law of 1916.
In the last year of the empire it rose to %
pence, but it has dropped to II and IA.
The Brazilian congress at last interposed
and passed law forbidding the issue of
any more paper money. This disastrous
financial situation undoubtedly helped to
precipitate the present revolt against

Kipling and Pierre Lott.


His relation to his contemporaries is
curiously slight. One living writer there
is, indeed, with whom it is not unnatural
to compare him-Pierre Lott. Each of
these men has attracted the attention, and
then the almost exaggerated admiration,
of crowd of readers drawn from every
class. Each has become popular without
ceasing to be delightful to the fastidous.
Each is independent of traditional litera-
ture, and affects disdain for books Each
is wanderer, lover of prolonged ex-
lie, more at home among the ancient races
of the East than among his own people.
Each describes what he has seen. in short
sentences, with highly colored phrases
and local words, little troubled to obey
the laws of style if he can but render
an exact impression of what the move
ment of physical life has been TO him.
self. Each produces on the reader Pc
cuiiar thrill, voluptuous and agitating
sentiment of intellectual uneasiness. with
the spontaneous art of which he has the
secret. Totally unlike in detail Rudyard
Kipling and Pierre Lott have these general
qualities in common, and if we want lit
erary parallel to the former, the latter is
certainly the only one that we can find.
Nor Is the attitude of the French novelist
to his sailor friends at all unlike that of
the Anglo-lndian civilian to his soldier
chums. To distinguish we must note very
carefully the difference between Mulvaney
and mon frere Yves; it is not altogether TO
the advantage of the latter.

A CLOSE FIGHT.

The contest for the speakership is more
stubborn and determined than was deemed
possible. Seventeen ballots were taken in
ths Democratic caucus, and the strength
Of the different candidates was almost the
same on the seventeenth ballot that It was
on the first The changes that had taken
place might be counted on ones fingers.
IL Is not difficult to understand the
tenaeity and determination of the sup
porters Of Crisp and Mills. The battle be-
tween the followers Of these two men has
been bitter. They represent opposing
factions of the Democratic party. Mills is
the representative Of Cleveland. Carlisle
and the free trade element. Crisp stands
for Hill, German, TAmmsny and the
Democrats who are always ready TO sacri-
fee principle TO success. Between such
elements harmony, in the true sense, is
impossible, and the determined nature Of
the battle is not surprising.
II is not 50 clear. however, why the sup
portsTs of the minor candidates cling 10
them so tsnaeiously. 1t may be that each
hopes for success in the end. IL is more
probable. however, that those whose sec
ond choice is Mills, are afraid to so to him

Look to the Flag.
New York Recorder.


To instili into the minds OF the rising genera
ton sentiments of love and veneration for the
national flag is one of the highest and most i'm
portant duties devolving on the teachers of the
country. As rule this duty was neglected un-
III within the last few years. It was not because
OF lack OF patriotism on the part of the heads
OF our institutions of learning. They simply
had never thought of Ii, nor for that matter had
anybody else. When public attention was d.
rected to the subject the teachers OF both sexes,
and particularly those OF this city, cheerfuliy
and enthusiastically fell in with the idea aud
the result is that all over Manhattan island to-
day the flag floats from schoolhouses, and bows
and girls know its history an d it, meaning bet
ter than the children OF any preceding genera
ton knew il.
Another excellent step in this work of patriotic
education has been taken by the war depart
ment. An order issued this week directs that all
the military schools where army officers are the
instructors the United States flag must be used
ION all occasions when flag would be required
by United States army tactics or regulations"
1t is really matter for surprise that an order of
this kind has become necessary; that some one
did not see the importance of il long ago. But
better now than never. IL is of supreme import
ance that military training should be associated
Is much as possible with the mblem of nation
atty, not with private and sectional symbols.
Republican ideas, principles and Institutions
must os buttressed az every point, and the best
p ace OF all to begin that work is at the very
foundation OF them-the American schoolhouse

SOCIAL queens" that never had any title of
nobility from nature, and whose innate
vuigarity is so intense that q peacock ram

It Is very easy for the fierce American
democracy to roar about ''aristocracy" in
England, but the most vulgar and AFRO
CANT members of our aristocracy, which is
nothing after all but plutocracy, are the
beggars, male and female, that somebody
has put on horseback. No wondar a keen
critic Of American life describes our pres
emit day a. one "when all that is mean and
sordid IN our shoddy society is turning
itself inside out to ape the manners of the
titled and rich aristocracies of Christen-
dom, when i'll got wealth Is tumbling heels
over head in the scramble for a coarse,
corrupting pre-eminence in parvenuism,
when the old stately courtesy of simple
manhood and womanhood, which once
was grace and charm all their own in
our public walks and ways are being en-
quilted in the hog-wallow of new-made
greatness with its imported trappings."
1t is nothing to the discredit of Mrs.
Stevens that she was poor girl who
earned her own living when her rich hus-
band married her. The wife of United
States Senator Davis was dressmaker
and bonnet trimmer before she married
the senator; but she is o well bred, intelli-
gent, charming woman, too sensible not
to be proud of the fact that she earned
her own living before she became the SEN
ator's wife. Ex-President Cleveland's 81 s.
ter has always earned her own living as
teacher or with her pen. Everybody
whose respect is worth having honors
woman who has uprightly hoed her own
way through life by her own ability and
industry, and prefers her to the indolent,
incompetent, lnsipid sister or daughter of
some successful man of business whose
bank account and rent roll has made it pos
sible for the women of his family to lean
on him for their entire support. The
trouble with Mrs. Stevens is not her birth |;
1t Is her innate vulgarity which blinds her
to the fact that real social superiority
rests on morals, intellect and manners.
When vulgar woman like Mrs. Stevens
undertakes to claim the title of a SOCIAL
queen" on the ground that she has in
herited couple of millions, she is like the
harmless insane meeting in council and
drawing the line at all people with a well
established fame for soundness and
strength ofintellect. Her attitude to the
social world that stands for intelligence,
good morals, intellect and humane
courtesy and refinement recalls those af-
flicted with the devil in the Scriptures bid.
