cattle, forage and wool by incendiaries on

arrest of negro employee of Hiram
Smith. Upon going to make the arrest
this morning the officers allowed the negro
to go into Smiths house for something he
pretended to want. The officers were
prevented from entering the house, and
the negro made his escape. The officers
came back to town and sent after
bloodhound. The track being
nine hours old, makes the trailing slow

SENOIA FIRED.
An Incendiary ConfiagrAtion Checked
BY the Marshals.

Caarollton Ga, Aug. 1.-THE town of
Senoia, thirty miles south of here on the
Chattanooga division of the Central
Railroad, was set on fire last night, and
had it not been for the timely appearance
of Marshals TIC. Hardy and Tom Banks, a
dreadful confiagration would have been
the result. The fire was set upstairs in
the Masonic building, and when the Off
GERS arrived the kindling was just in a
good Roadway for burning. Citizens of
the town think some negroes

| A newspaper. In mere self-protection, Is
forced to observe extreme caution to avoid
publishing scandalous statements. It can
not publish real scandal without great
| pecuniary risk and the more serious danger
Of loss OF the public confidence In its ac-
curate and impartial presentation OF the
actual news OF the day. The greatest care
to keep out such scandal Is ceaselessly ex-
ercised by every newspaper conducted with
the wisdom necessary to getting largo
circulation. The influences most powerful
with it. Its selfish interests and its public
reputation. require that it should always
be on its guard lest it publish scandal. 1t
must expend unrcmitting diligence in sift-
Ing facts from falschood. and so constant
Is its employment in that task OF analysis
and separation that 1t becomes expert
ut the business. Instead OF readily swal-
lowing gossip and scandal. 1t Is always sus-
picious lest they be palmed off on 1t as
facts. Instead OF printing scandal because
the people read It," newspaper deserv-
Ing OF the public respect essential to its
permanent prosperity. Is for that very
reason scrupulously careful not to print
scandal. lie hurts the newspaper pub
fishing 1t far more than any individual
against whom 1t may be directed. Scandal
Is moro directly injurious to tho newspaper
than 1t can be to the community.
Take The Sun. for instance. It Is read
every day by a large part Of tho people In
this neighborhood. and it goes to every
part OF the Union and of the world. No
false. statement can appear in Its col
umns without finding the retutatlon ip
the knowledge Of some of its read
ers. Its critics are numbered by the hun
dred thousand daily. II the Information 1t
gives is incorrect in any respect the paper
suffers In esteem in some quarter. 1t loses
confidence to q degree which would be
ruinous IL the sum OF errors were large.
and the publications were based on scan
dial only and printed simply to crafty the
appetite for scandal.
The public demand OF tho newspaper Is
that it shall give an accurate and full his
tory Of the actual occurrences OF the day.
without distinguishing between them be
cause they are good or bad. 1t must be
messenger Of both good and evil tidngs,
because 1t must tell the truth as 1t Is.

Its speedy settlement. so that the unoer
taInty that has 80 injurously affected
business will be removed by the
adoption or the indication OF positive
currency policy essential to the orderly
progress OF industry. The extraordinary
session OF Congress- assembled about two
months ago. a lapse Of time which. when
| impatiently counted by days and minutes,
hos seemed to be long. Really 1t has been
short for the consideration Of funda-
mental question OF financial policy upon
which there Is wide disagreement among
the people. This disagreement. sectional
rather than political, Is deep. earnest.
honest, and sincere. Hence 1t was not for
the permanent welfare OF the country that
the controverted question Of policy should
be settled by snap Judgment. To secure
result acceptable to the people. 1t
was needful that the subject should
be treated patiently and deliberately.
and with absolute fairness. II the oppo-
nents Of the Silver bill before Congress had
been silenccd forthwith by novel measures
OF coercion. altogether mischievous as pre-
cedents. the decision reached would not
have received the popular assent indispens-
posing the disagreement 1t would have ag-
gravated and embittered 1t. Business would
have suffered from political turmoil. Par
ties would have been disrupted. Sectional
animosity would have been provoked. As
1t has been, under wiser counsels. business
has improved during tho delay: and
whenever the end Is reached. the result
determined. evaporation will be followed
by the general and cheerful yielding to
majority settlement which always dlstin-
guishes this self-governing people.
We have no fear that this result will be
prejudicinl to business interests and the
general public welfare. We have no doubt
that when tho settlement comes 1t will be
accepted as practically wise by the peo-
pie. and that. thereafter, business will
proceed on tho course Of prosperity which
the conditions make possible. The talk
OF er-brained persons about the dan
ger OF ruinous Congressional decision
Is pure folly. The people do not believe
it. Legislation Is In the control Of their
and it will be according
to their will. Tho people are not down.
cast. They are confident Of the future. and
when that confidence freely expresses itself
after discussion has brought about decision
at Washington. the full tide Of prosperity
will flow in again.
Pay no heed to the prophets OF evil. The
skies will be clear. Even now the clouds
which seem to hide them are chiefly i'm
aginary, and they have been chiefly imagi-
nary from the beginning. We are not going
down to the devil under tho load of either
gold or silver.

Our Jewish contemporaries do not put

HoNscHARENKo knows the Gar The Car is
not tho man to drive out the capitalists. He
needs capital. and all OF 1t that he can get He
is as ready to borrow It from the rich Jews a.
from other people. He was discouraged last
year when the two richest Jewish money lend
ers in the world refused to take up q loan
which he had put on the market. Mr.. HoNscHA-
RENKo has been misinformed about the driv-
ing out OF the rich Russian Jews.
The half million Jews whom the Car has
expelled from Russia in the past ten years
were not capitalists or millionaires. The null

not carried much capital with them. In our

Why Americans Are Interested In Brazil

Why Americans Are Interested In Brazil
Citizens OF the United States are very
deeply Interested In the affairs Of Brazil
at this time. They do not believe that any
foreign power. or any combination of for
eign powers. has any right to interfere In
the politics or menace the Independence Of
any American republic. They also believe
In that great defensive American principle
which has always been recognized by our
Government. namely. the principle known
O. the MONROE doctrine"
The civil war In Brazil has lasted for over
eyear. 1t has recently become Of more
importance than ever on account OF the re-
volt Of the Brazilian navy. At this crisis
tho representatives at Rio OF Ave or six Of
the powers Of Europe have assumed most
threatening attitude toward tho Brazilian
Government. They have made demands
upon 1t that are not authorized by interna-
tional law. and have backed up these de-
n,ands by pompous display OF naval
force. by war ships representing Eng
land. France. Germany. Italy. and Por-
tugal. while an Austrian cruiser Is
also on tho way to Rio. The Euro
pean Ministers there have united In
the adoption OF policy of Intimidation
toward Brazil. and have ordered the COM
manders of their war ships to act Jointly In
any offensive demonstration that may be
made. The British Minister at Rio. speaking
In the name OF four or five Governments.
gave notice few days ago that In case of
any disturbance dangerous to European
residents. the united force Of foreign pow
ers" would protect them by taking posses
sion Of the capital and establishing camp
In the Palace square. Thus the republican
government OF Brazil would be superseded,
and the united forces Of the belligerent for
eign intruders would be the masters Of the
situation In Brazil
This Is q grave situation for an Amer
loan republic. The Government and the
people Of this country must take sollcitous
interest In 1t.
Necessarily and properly. our Minister at
Rio has stood aloof from the representatives
oftne intervening European powers. He has
doubtless received instructions from Wash
inGton as to the course to pursue In case
tho threats are put into execution; and VIC
must take 1t for granted that these In
structions are In accord with the tradi-
tonal policy Of the American Government
in regard to European Intervention In the
domestic affairs Of any country on this
side OF the dividing waters. We mean that
policy which was established seventy years
ago. during the second term of President
JAMES MONROE.

After the Race is over.

As ALEXANDER always INDUCED his sober
ness with three days elaboration before
inficting capital punishment. we turn to
consider again. twenty-four hours after
their last race is over. the merits Of the two
yachts which have given us 30 much enter
tainment during the past month or two.
What is the sound conclusion in regard
to the most important portion of Friday g
contest, the first half. to windward, while
the wind blew to the line beyond which
yacht racing practically ceases to be yacht
racing? Reefs and racing yachts are no
more natural or satisfactory as a combina-
ton than mud holes and thoroughbreds.
With some tracks and conditions a cart
horse would beat racer, and In some
weathers the likeliest of craft might be
a fishing smack.
Beginning on the gentle side Of the
weather. at any stage between a scarcely
perccptible breath and the wind OF Friday.
the Vigilant has practically put the VAL
kyrie out OF her class. Is there anything left
to be added to comments on tho test last
seen. when ths yachts. with their sails
clipped and their normal power gone, put
out for tussle when ships naturally seek
shelter? AS we look over the affair again,
1t seems to us that the Yigilant had an of
day. She was not quite herself. as she has
been known. We believe that her CENTRE
board was unmanageabe, to her i'm
pediment, and 1t seems to us that,
with the shortening Of her mainsall,
smaller lib would have carried her
into the wind with better effect than
the one she wore. By no superiority of
man9uvring on the part OF the Valkyrie,
the Vigilant shippers guess at the time of
gun fire was faulty enough to carry her
down the line to lecward before she dared to
cross 1t. There the Valkyrie. We mean the
boat. not the skipper. started with an advan-
tage OF about half minute, which would
leave her record but little over minute
better than the Vigilant's in the fifteen
miles of windward struggle. That is not
enough to found any decisive theory or.
The Vigilant. 1t must be recollected. was
tuned to win three races out Of five, in other
words. to meet the average weather. The
Valkyrie on this occasion was equipped
rather for smuggling than for sailing. But
leaving the Vigilant just as she is. we must
still cling to the idea that. spank the seas
as she will she is still better even under the
extreme conditions confronted on Friday,
than the boat which. as it was. barely led
her to the turning stake. And the Vigil
ant is centreboarder. All Of which is re-
specially submitted to students Of the
yacht. east or west. Of the Atlantic.

Peru, Bolivia. and Uruguay. have signed
document which may be regarded 40 q
protest, though 1t does not take the form
OF n protest. against tho concerted mani
festations OF the European Ministers, under
the leadership OF the British Minister.
| They merely subscribe to statement that
they have not taken any part in the confer
ence at which an ultimatum" was pre-
sented to Brazil In the name Of tho COM
bined European powers. But we have q
right to assume. from the language OF this
document, that they disapprove the conduct
Of that conference. we nre unable to be-
lieve that It could bo sustained. In any
| event, by any Government OF South
America. Every republic Of the south Is
In danger. from time to time, OF suffer-
ing under the same kind OF European
Interference In its affairs as that with
which Brazil is threatened. There are
number OF European powers which have
repeatedly sought to domlneer over one
or another OF the States OF South and
Central America. In past times. again
and again. we have been compelled to
inform these powers Of the existence OF
the MONROE doctrine.
A despatch from Rio printed In London
last Wednesday contains the information
that startling developments may be
looked for. involving the restoration OF the
monarchy" This would undoubtedly be
the result OF successful interference in Bra
lillian affairs by what the British Min
lister calls "the united forces OF for
eign powers" Yet that Is a resto-
ration which had better not be at
tempted. 1t cannot be accomplished I'M
til the united powers have waged to success
war against Brazil far greater than that
past We think that, in the event Of such
struggle. Brazll's neighbors would give her
their assistance. The United States would
certainly not be q disinterested onlooker.
We want no monarchy set up by European
arms In any American country. Monarchs
have not prospered. during the past hundred
years. in any country between Argentina
and Canada.
The very able representative Of Brazil In
Washington. Minister MENDoNcA. has been
frequent visitor at the State Department |
within the past fortnight. 1t is his 1udg- |
ment that number of European powers |
are banded together against his country for
sinister purposes. and that they will not |
scruple to dictate terms to tho struggling |
young republic against which all America |
ought to unite in remonstrance.
We do not believe that either the French
republic or the Russian empire will ever
take part In any such conspiracy. or will
fail to make the other powers aware Of
their opposition to It.
