1t was two years ago last Sunday
week, on November 10Th, 1899, that
Marshal Doodoro da Fonseca engineered
the bloodless revolution that trans.
formed the great Brazilian nation-a
country whose territorial expanse of
$4,000 square miles exceeds that of
the United States, excluding Alaska,
and whose population is set down in
round numbers at 14,000,0 0O-from a
nominal empire to a nominal republic.
That revolution sent the benignant old
emperor, Dom Pedro, into exile from
his beloved land, and placed Fonseca
at the head Of the new republic.
Now Fonseca, after an nsatis-
factory reign of two years cul-
minating in an ill-starred assump-
ton of dictatorial authority, "retires -
under the pressure of another ephemeral
revolution--fortunately also expeditions
and bloodless-and Vice-president Flori-
ano Pcixoto takes his place. The people
of the country at large appear to have
had little to do with either of these reyo-
lutions; they have been conducted by the
military centred at Rio Janeiro. The
news that comes to us simply says that
deputation of naval officers, headed by
three admirals, waited ON Fonscca and
told him that his longer continuance in
power would bring about consequences
for which they would not hold them
selves answerable, whereupon Fonseca
issued a manifesto announcing his
resignation in favor of Peixoto. 1t
was a very simple way of over
throwing an administration, but there
was nothing of republicanism in it.
These two revolutions" show that thus
far, politically speaking, Rio is Brazil
and that few naval officers constitute
Rio. The Brazilians have formulated a
constitution on the model of our own,
but they have evidently not begun to
learn that the people Of republic
should constitute the governing power.
They are really ruled by an irresponsible
military autocracy; and It is greatly to
be feared that it will require long
train of unrest, insecurity and disaster
to teach them to subordinate the mill
tary to the civil power

The secret Of delay is probably ex-
planned BY the fact that the Bell Tele-

Hands OFF.

The railroad bc)l-rope, which skirts the
roof Of every passenger car, is consecrat-
ed to the use OF conductors and other
train hands, as is proven by the summary
arrest Of traveller in Wilmington last
week who had the bolduess to touch the
signalling airing. Levi Barto, OF Lin
wood Pa, got on train at Chester, In
tending to 60 to Linwood. When he dis
covered he was aboard an express, which
did not stop at that station, he requested
the conductor to stop for him. Being re.
fused, Barto jumped up and grasped the
signal rope. The conductor, however.
caused the train to continue on its course
and on reaching Wilmington, he had
Barto arrested. The prisoner was finally
released on 800 bail. II is likely that
bis cfYrpse is punishable under the "mAli-
cious mischief" criminal code, which
says that IL any peraon shall willfully and
maliciously endanger the safety Of any
person travelling. every such offender
shall be guilty Of felony, and, being there
Of convicted, shall be sentenced to pay .
fine not exceeding $4,000 and to unde'-
90 an imprisonment, by separate or soil
tary confinement At labor, not exceeding
ten years.

ABLR WATCH.

81 remember a friend Of NINE" aaid
Squire johnson to the delegate, "who
considered himself funny. He went to
prominent jeweler on Fourth street and
pun ichsscd watch for $50, receiving a
written guarantee that the watch would
keep good time for year. II the watch
failed the money was to be refunded.
"Well, my friend was called to Europe
soon after that and spent several months
travelling about various parts OF the earth,
and II happened that he returned to Cinci-
natl on the very day the guarantee Oh his
watch expired. Asking me to accom-
psny him, we went to the jcwelry store,
and calling out the proprietor, my friend
laid down the guarantee, which the jew
sler read, and then expressed himself
ready to fulfil his contract. The watch
was placed upon the counter and wac
found to be just one-hslf minute too
fast.
The jeweler placed 1t carefully In y
drawer and going to his safe counted
out FIVE crisp ten dollar bills and passed
them to my friend with smile.
"Yea, but don't want the money" he
stammered; give me back my watch. 1t
was only meant as little pleasantry.'
~ have complied with my contract"
replied the jeweler, land only meant a
little business"
''But must have that watch said the
thoroughly disconcertcd funny man.
"well," replied the jeweler, proceeding
with his work, Il consider watch that
varies only one.balf OF minute In year
worth more than $50. will sell you the
watch for ~lOO.'
60 chagrined that he hardly knew
what he WAS doing, my facetious friend
paid over the 900 and pocketed the
watch.
"When you need another good wstch
give me CALL said the jeweler. merrily,
- ve took our departure.
