GREsHAMs NEWS FROM BRAZIL.
Nothing About Mello's Alleged Proc
lamation in His Advices.


Washington, Nov. 20.-Several cable
grams have been received at the depart
ment of state from Minister Thompson at
Rio de Janeiro, Bra zil, within the past few
days in regard to the situation there. The
text is not given out for publication, but
it is understood that they are remarkable
for an entire absence of all reference to
Admiral Mello's proclamation of the res
toration of the monarchy. This fact is
accepted at the department as an indica-
tion that no such action has taken place.
The navy department. is rot surprised
at the non-arriyal of Admiral Stanton,
who was relieved from the command of the
squadron. He was instructed to
make his way home by the most direct
route, and this is by way of Europe so it
is expected that the first news of his
movements will be the announcement of
his arrival in England.

England's Mime Strike Ended.

London, Nov 20-The great coal strike
has ended Acting on the decision of the
conference held last week at the foreign
Office, work was generally resumed at the
colleries this morning. There were some
few pits, however, that were not opened,
owidg to the fact that fallen earth
blocked the ways.
The price of coal was dropped shill-
ings per ton here to-day on the resump-
tion Of work by the miners. Further de-
clines are expected as soon as the freshly
mined coal begins to reach the market.

New Orleans, Nov. 2O.-The state SUI

Nichols, to-day affirmed the decision of
the lower court involving the right of a
newspaper to print the proceedings Of a
case. A case was on trial, and the Times
Democrat published an account of it.
The Judge declared the paper guilty of
contempt in publishing something which
would tend TO influence the jury. An ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court ia
order TO make test case, with the result
that the papers are defeated.

Washington, Nov 20.-Secretary Ores

THEY OAN NOW RTsUMB,

During the prevailing money strin-
genCy, among the thousands of bust
ness failures that have taken place,
have been a large number of Irrational
banks. These were probably banks
that were endesvoring to comply
with the laws established for their
government. Senator Gorman, Sem
stor Hosr and several other good
democratic and republican senator's
say that such foolishnsss would break
every national bank in the United
States. Since the senate has decided
that it is not necessary for national
banks to conform to law in the con-
duct Of their business, many of these
suspended banks are resuming, and
Comptroller Eckles congratulates the
country upon this evidence Of return

An organization sworn to such
methods is just the kind of an organ
ization that the leaders of modern
Kansas republiCanism would natur-
ally tie to. They like to howl an
srchy against all opponents, but when
il comes to che practice of lswless-
ness they have invariably been the
offenders. The correspondent Of the
Lesvenworth Times says that che
Kansas organizer is pushing this or
gsnizstion in the state, and that 1t is
destined to become a powerful factor
in Kansas politics, by which it is hoped
to re-estsblish republican supremacy
in this commonwealth. OF course
the members all take the required
oath and are bound to enforce their
purposes with ballots or bullets as
may be deemed most advisable.

THE REPUBLICAN SCHEME UNFOLDs

The Topeka Capital h few days
ago made great deal of fun of the AD-
vooATE's statement that the American
Protective association was a repub-
lican scheme to excite religious pref
udices and cause a diversion of public
attention from the economic questions
which are now directing the course
Of political events. Now comes the
Topeka correspondent Of the Lesv-
enworth Times, however, with state
ment which places the question be-
yond dispute from q republican
standpoint. No one certainly will
question the republicsnism Of the
Times, or of its Topeka correspond
ent. Here is what he says in the
issue of September 19:
TOPEKA, KAN, Sept. 1s-The American
Protective association of Kansas will take
legal steps to compel Secretary Osborn 10
grant charter to this organization. Appli-
cation for a charter was made two weeks
ago, but Secretary Osborn declines to either
grant or return the same.
His reasons for refusal are that the organ
izatiOn seeks to abridgs the rights Of citi-
Eens. The order is having q remarkable
effect in Kansas and is taking republicans

since it's cteation. We shall not fail,
however, to frequently call attention
to the fact that this democratic ad-
ministration possessed ample power
under existing laws to relieve the
stringency and break the panic, and
declined to do it. Nor shall we fail
to impress upon the public the other
fact which is equally patent that the
special session of congress was not
designed to relieve the people, but
simply to complete the demonetiza-
ton of silver which the republican
party began in 1873, and which it is
now aiding this administration to ac'
complish.

The Lawrence World of Septem-
ber IA adds it's testimony to that of
the Topeka Capital and the Lawrence
Journal concerning the character Of

dents in his remarks before the editors at
Topeka and he did splendid job. Il

tinued il win excel the Farmers Alliance as

bers 10 steer clear Of il,
The organizer, W. A. Crawford, is push
ing the movement and says il will secure
che return of the republicans TO power il he
can succeed in stirring up q war between
the Protestants and Catholics. Crawford Is
a leading republican politician and is also
working in the interest Of ex-Congressman
Morrill, for governor. PopuliSts believe
that the American Protective association is
a republican scheme to make Morrill, the re-
publican candidate for governor.
There is not a person connected
with the ADVOCATE company that we
know of who is q Catholic or is in
anyway inclined that way; but we re-
peat what we have said before, that
there is not the least possible danger
of Catholic supremacy or Of the dom
nance of Catholic influence in state
or national affairs In this country.
The day fixed by the bogus Papal
bull published IN the anonymous
sheet which was promiscuously scat,
tered over the country a short time
ago, on which the universal slaughter
of protestsnts and infdels alike was
TO take place IN America has already
passed, and no slaughter has been
attempted. All this stuff is pure rot.
While we have no sympathy what
ever for the Catholic religion we be-
lieve that members Of the Catholic
church are just as good and patriotic
citizens as are members Of Protestant
churches, and we believe they are
recognized as such by those who live
beside them and mingle with them
from day to day. The demoralized
leaders of the republican party, how
ever, will resort to any means what
ever to regain their lost political
supremacy, and it 10 not surprising
that they should seek to build a hope
upon the effort to excite religious
war between Protestsnts and Catho-
lies to divert attention from the ques.
tions the study of which has brought
them the most humiliating defeat.

SOME OF THE METHODS OF INFLU
ENUING LEGISLATION.

On August % the Washington
Evening News, in a brief editorial,
called attention to the fact that a
meeting had been called to assemble
in that city, of representatives of 500
boards of trade located in the differ
ent sections of the country, and lnti-
mated some of the objects it had in
view. We clip the following from
that editorial:
Primarily the object of the convention iS
TO consider the financial and business situa-
ton and no doubt the resolutions Of the
convention will have due influence on Con-
gress; but the individual arguments Of the
delegates with those members Of both
houses whom they may meet will have a far
more powerful effect in msrshsling the hes
itating votes on the right eide of the fnsn-
olal question at issue, In this regard the
date set for the convention September 12-
is most fortunate, as it will come at time
when debate is 80 far advanced in the Sem
ate that a speedy vote on the repeal ques-
ton, if not already reached, could be So
cured with comparative ease.
The New York board of trade and trans
portation, which is taking the initiative in
the summoning Of the convention, deserves
the highest praise for its wisdom and pa
triotism. There Is great enthuslasm, not
only among Washington business men, who,
of course, are only too ready to aid in the
good work in every possible way, but also
among the members of every individual
board of trade that has been invited.
We believe the presence here Of such a
convention ab such critical time can and
will accomplish vast amount Of good
This is the way the thing is done.
The bankers and boards Of trade have
not only money but leisure to enable
them to go to Washington Nnd con-
centrate upon congress the powerful
influences at their command to secure
such legislation as they desire. Not
only that, congress is always ready
to receive such delegations and listen
to their valuable suggestion" I"
When tariff legislation or anything
effecting the manufacturing interests
of the country is contemplated, the
ways and means committee invites
Mr.. Carnegie and other leading man
ufscturers to come before the COM
mittee for a hearing. When legisla-
ton is desired by the railroad
corporations, the officials write up
the bills they wish enacted into laws
and send them in to congress with
perfect assurance that they will not
be disappointed. AS was the case
during the Fifty-second congress,
when a slight change was desired in
the interstate commerce law, the bill
was prepared and sent to the senate,
and the next morning Chsuncey M.
Depew and other railroad msgnstes
were before the senate committee for
g hearing in the interest Of the bill.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-09-27

When financial Legislation is on tap
the bankers are consulted. The seO-
retary of the treasury runs over to
New York where q great banquet Is
spread for him, and the president of
the associated banks gather around
the board and determine what form
such legislation shall take. Their
decision is submitted to congress by
message or otherwise and that settles
it. The industrial classes-the masses
of the ople-have neither the money
nor the time to go to Washington and
lobby for their interests, and they
have no official representatives in the
departments to go out and consult
them and make known their wishes
to congress. Sometimes the people
resort to petitions to make their
wishes known. These are signed by
multitudes of sovereign voters and
forwarded to senators aud represent
atives. When the senate and house
go through the formality Of receiving
these documents, sage senators and
representatives arise in their places
and state that they desire to submit
petitions from a certain class of
American citizens declaring their
wishes concerning pending or de-
sired Legislation. The petitions ara
then referred, without reading and
,UithoWt eThibiting the number Of
signers, to the committees having
charge of the Legislation in question,
and there they sleep the sleep of
everlasting oblivion. They are never
resurrected CT heard of more.
This is the difference between be-
ing banker, railroad magnste or
only one of the common herd. And
yet the independent sovereign voter
imagines that he is represented in
congress and that he is a part Of this
great republican government.
The renraaentativas of the boards
of trade have assembled in Washing
ton according to the program, and
are exerting their influence with the
senate for the passage of the repeal
bill. 1t is only q question of time
when this will be accomplished, if
not in the form it passed the house,
then in some other form that will
serve the purpose Of the conspirators.

PUT THIS AND THAT TOGETHER.


The Topeka correspondent of the
Lesvenworth Times writing to that
paper under date of September Is
respecting the organization Of the
American Protective Association in
Kansas says:
The organizer, W. A. Crawford, is push
ing the movement and says it will secure
the return Of the republicans to power IL he
can succeed in stirring up war between the
Protestents and Catholics. Crawford Is q
leading republican politician and is also
working in the interest Of ex.CongresSman
