GOVERNMENTAL matters are disagree
ably, if not dangerously, involved in
Brazil. 1t appears that after the adoption
of the new Constitution the Congress of
the new Republic failed to legislate in
manner necessary to carry out constitu-
tional requirements. For instance,
church and State are divorced by the
Constitution. This would subject church
property to the common law. But the
President holds that the. ecclesiastical
laws are in force until repealed by Con-
gress, and the passage of others in their
place; hence church and State are not
yet separated in Brazil. So, too, the law
yers hold that the Cabinet of the Presi-
dent has no lawful existence because the
members were appointed prior to the
adoption of the Constitution, and since
the adoption Congress has not confirmed
them. So also the cities derived their
municipal powers from the provisional
Government, now extinct, and Congress
has made no provision for the present
government of the cities. In other
words, the President holds that the
Constitution is not self-executing. But
how is it then that President Fonseca holds
Office himself, since Congress has not
passed any enabling act for his officer

The mantle Of charity covers the sui
eide. The law mercifully presumes that
mental unbalance afflicts those who lift
their hands against themselves, and this
presumption Is the sum of a plying
human Judgment. In the case of the
brilliant young actor, James l.. Edwards,
who took his life on Sunday in Chicago,
it is said that his act was due to de-
spondency caused by the death Of his
mother few months ago. He was a de-
voted son and one who worshiped his
mother, and separation from whom so
preyed upon his mind that "his reason
gave way" as is mercifully assumed, and
in his despair he sought in death free
dom from the torments of the mind. Yet
it may be questioned whether this young
man was not perfectly sane when he COM
mitted suicide; that the reality of his
grief was such that he coolly resolved to
end it, possibly in abiding faith that he
would meet the loved one beyond. That
IAeIe are SuIClueS WIN are philosophical
in their resolve to take their lives is un-
deniable. They reason that their lives
are their own, to do with as they see fit,
and that society has no right to judge
them in the disposition of that over
which they have supreme control. The
love of the son for the mother may in
deed be a sufficient motive in perfectly
sane mind for an act that belief teaches
will unite those whom death has parted.
1t is proper for the world to consider
every suicidal act that of mailman, but
that this is a severe stretch of the mantle
of charity in some cases can scarcely be
denied

THE experiment of opening the Metro
politan Museum of Art in New York on
Sunday was success, despite the fears of
the objectors. Some twelve thousand
visitors came. They were of the classes
whose duties on other days forbid their
attendance. The gathering was orderly,
decent and appreciative, and the officers
of the institution were delighted with the
quiet demeanor and profound interest of
the visitors. They had been warned that
the building would be filled by the hood
lum class, that the great art galleries
would be converted into yeritable dance
| halls. Nothing of the kind resulted.
The people who came were of the in
dustrial classes largely. They proved
that they appreciate fine arts, and their
numbers sufficiently established how
great was the multitude that had been
shut out from the pleasure of viewing the
works, by reason of puritanical rule.
Certainly no one who visited the galleries
was injured; equally as certain is it that
they were benefited morally and physic-
ally. The opening of the building pre-
vented no one from attending church on
that day, and it in no wise interfered with
religious worship or attracted from it. 1t
probably did keep good many out of
the public bar-rooms and drinking gar
| dens, and resulted in sending many a
| family home sober apd lifted up to higher
planes of thought, that otherwise might
have spent the day in places that would
have absorbed their means and their So
briefly, and have contributed only to their
injury and debasement.

Report on the Lynching-RemovaI OF
the Troops Advised.

WALLA WALLA, June e.-The grand jury EN-.
paneled TO investigate the lynching OF A. ].
Hunt by soldiers, April 9th, made a report to
:he superior court today. The report says in
part:
We examined seventy-one witnesses, fifty
four being soldiers and seventeen citizens, and
we found true bill against seven enlisted men
of the Fourth United States cavalry Our work
has been delayed by reason OF difficulty in secur-
ing evidence OF parties who We are firmly con-
vinced know many OF the participants in the
outrage. Nevertheless We are satisfied that
there are a number of soldiers against whom
insufficient evidence has been procurable TO

with those indicted.
There is no doubt that Colonel Compton did
not believe his troops would make an ATTACK
upon the county Jail, although the prosecuting
attorney and sheriff interviewed him regarding
reports which reached them of the premeditate5
lynching OF Hunt, but the attack on the sheriff
and his prisoner, Hunt, on the night before the
iynching and the open defiance of a commss-
stoned officer, supported BY guard, should
ave been sufficient warning TO him OF waaf
might be expected, and that he was negligent In

Naval Officers Bring Back Valuable
Goods From the Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9--The Chronicle states
that a treasury agent visited Mare island navy
yard last week and made certain discoveries
which indicate that a large quantity
OF dutiabie merchandise has been
orough into this country by sew
eral American war vessels which recently
returned from the Chinese station, and that no
revenue charges were paid on it. The United
States ship Omaha arrived few weeks ago and
went to Mare Island without being inspected by
customs officers. When the treasury agent Wis
ited the yard last week IL is claimed that he
found large quantity of silk gowns and costly
oric-a-brac in the officers quarters on the
omaha amounting to several thousand dollars
IN value Many OF these articles were enclosed
In packages ready for shipment to various
Eastern points.
1t is also said that the entire consignment has
been seized by the customs authorities and sub
mitted to the appraiser at this port. One silk
gown, it is claimed, has been appraised at nearly
$1,000
The Chroniciestates that some OF the principal
officers OF the Omaha and one or two officers of
the Swatera, which returned from China several
months ago, are concerned in the smuggling,
and that action is being taken in the matter by
the navy and treasury departments at Washing
ton City.

Unthrift the Mother OF Discomfort.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 9.-The law school
of Columbia college had its annual commence
ment exercises tonight Ex-senator Henderson,
of Missouri, made an address to the graduates.
He said in part:
When l see thriftless farmer, leaning upon
government instead of upon the plow for sup
port and workmen wasting their time organic
ing labor unions against capital. because 1t is
not their own, and com mplaining that the world
is unkind, the words of Cassius come vividly to
nv recollection: "The fault, dear Brutus, is
not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are
underliugs."
Mr. Henderson spoke contemptuously OF the
parliaments of England, from which lawyers
were by law or public opinion excluded, and
said:
As history continues to repeat itself. some new
marty in America may give US congress OF the
same sort II SO, IL is at least fortunate that CEN
turies intervene between such acts OF folly.
