keep in activity all the best forces Of 80

Is continually discussing the subject which
the Fifth avenue meeting considered. But
II people wish to get together to debate the
question formally. they are OF liberty to
crafty their desire and ventilate any spe-
clfic projects for improvement which come
into their heads.
Meantime organized society Is fulfilling
the purpose Of It's organization by working
practically to make the world better place
to live In. As to what are the best religious
methods for bringing it about they are
divided In sentiment.

out Of all proportion to the num-
Der Of lite Inhabitants. and the larger share
Of this burden might. In the event OF . con-
federation. devolve upon Rio Grande. Boz
sides. an agreement TO assume its share OF
the public debt Of Brazil would doubtless be
q condition precedent TO recognition OF
Rio Grande's new political status.
IT, on the other hand. the revolutionists
In the southwestern province Of Brazil con-
fine themselves to declaration Of their In
dependence. they might perhaps DO able to
avoid the dangers and expenses OF War
through compromise with FoNsnoA. We
have, indeed, received telegram to tho eff
feet that the dictator has offered to recog-
nize the State Government which, has been
installed at Porto Allegro In the place Of his
representative. II all that Rio Grande de-
sires Is local autonomy, she can obtain 1t In
this way, and she might do well to ponder
upon the fable OF the crow. who. being
tempted by the fox to sing, dropped her
titbt OF cheese.
II resistance to FoNsEoA's authority is To-
calized in Rio Grande. It will scarcely have
any serious results. There Is but little
sympathy and no community Of interests
between Rio Grande on the one hand and
tuC pTONlHCcS VI Ouuiss % hoAAouSop 0hu
Para upon the other. Moreover. 90 long as
tho dictator retains command OF tho ses,
tho capitals OF the three last-named prov
inces are ct his mercy. II BALMAoKDA had
possessed similar advantage he would
have made short work Of the CHILEAN revo-
lutionists. and there Is a. yet no reason to
believe that the champions Of the short.lived
Congress in Brazil have anything like tho
hold upon the people which was undoubt-
edly possessed by the Congress party
in Chill. In the last-named republic
there was not q single province which
was heartily favorable to BALMACRDA; only
by brute force could he maintain himself In
Santiago and Valparaiso.
On the other hand. II we can trust the
kilograms thus far forthcoming. Marshal DA
FoNsEcA has behind him the richest and
most populous sections Of Brazil. to wit. the
province Of Sac Paulo and the district and
city Of Rio Janeiro. together with almost the
whole Of the navy and at least three-fourths
Of the regular army. The chief railway and
telegraph systems are under his control,
and 80 are tho principal financial resources
Of the country. Under such circumstances
it will scarcely do to take for granted that
the experience Of BALldAuEDA Is to be paral-
leled In Brazil.

Rapid Transit.

That was too passionate and prejudiced
a meeting which assembled on Friday night
so high up town as l55th street to protest
against the new rapid transit system be-
meath ground proposed by the Commission
at present having the subject under con-
sideration. Many people In the upper por-
ton Of New York are very much in favor
Of the elevated road. In contrast with any
other means Of transportation, but that Is
no objection to one Of the other sort.
There Is room for both. and there should
be both according to the public demand.
Both those who like better to ride above
ground and those who would rather travel
below the surface should have equal and
full facilities for travelling in the ways they
prefer. Whoever offers any opposition to
the establishment or perfection Of rapid
transit systems. under or over ground. has
purposes or prejudices radically inconsis-
tent with the satisfactory progress Of New
York city.
There has been . great call for q new
system underground. Whenever the project
is so scientifically and financially perfect
that all 1t needs for completion Ia oppor-
tunity. 1t should have every assist
ance possible. And the elevated roads
demand the same treatment with equal
or greater force whenever the popular
desire and their monetary equipment for
extension are manifest.
Rapid transit 10 tho greatest need Of tho
town to-day. The more Of It and the more
kinds Of 1t the better for all.
