There Is something suggestive In the
vigor with which Admiral MELLo and oil
his friends deny that he Is trying to restore
the empire in Brazil. RUY BARBosA. who
ought to be good authority. says that the
insurgent cause Is true to the republic
truer to it than PEIxoTo's Government is.
MELLo. who Is even better authority. now
protests that he has never contemplated
an act so repugnant as bringing back mon
archy to Brazil. 1t Is weak invention Of
the enemy. declare the insurgents. de-
signed to injure them there and elsewhere.
Hardly less significant is the persistency
with which President PEIxoTo's supporters
renew these charges. At one time the
rumor was spread that Prince PIERRE. old
Dom PEDRo's grandson, was actually
aboard the Aquidaban, SO that he might
lose no time in being crowned, after
PEIxoTo should be overthrown. Directly
on the heels Of MELLo'S indignant protest
at being called q monarchist, 1t Is declared
that his departure from the harbor Of Rio
is with view to stir up and increase an ex-
listing sentiment in favor Of the empire. in
Bahia and Pernambuco.
So, whether MELLo is or is not a mon
archlst. he and his opponents seem to agree
that it would injure his cause to have him
thought one. In other words. the people OF
Brazil. having once got rid of their throne,
do not propose to have it brought back.

1t Is for patriotic purpose that the
American Symphony Orchestra has been or
ganized. II is TO strive for the encouragement
OF native talent rs against the foreign born
singers and musicians who are brought to
this country. All its members ara said to be
native Americans. We favor the object OF this
orchestra. So far as 1t relates to the encourage
ment OF our native musical artists. but, at the
same time. We cannot uphold any attempt to
discourage or to drive away tho eminent for
eign artists who are pleased to come here. In
the whole world there are not 100 many sing
ors men or women. OF the first rank. and there
are not too many instrumental musicians OF
that rank. As We accept. and are glad to get.
the books Of foreign authors, the pictures OF
foreign painters, the discoveries OF foreign
scientists. and the mechanical devices OF for
elRn inventors, SO In like manner are We glad
to get musical genius from any country In
which II can be found. Go To our operate per-
formances or TO our high-class concerts.
Certainly We shall give native talent chance.
We shall do all In our power to encourage II.
1t must be judged by iIs merits. We do not
desire TO see 1t boosted to the front II 1t cannot
maintain Itself there. and Justify its claim to
stand there, and approve Its ability to meet
any foreign rivalry upon equal terms
We have now good schools OF music We
have large number of American singers and
musicians We have some excellent sympho-
nists. We have two or three admirable or
ehestras. We have plenty Of singing and mu-
steal societies We can speak well OF those
Peoples Concerts and Peoples Singing Glasses
which have been organized By that unquailing
enthusiast. MIR. FRANK DAMRosCH.
IL would be hard TO keep down any great
American singer. male or female. operate or
concert. or any hrst-class performer upon
any instrument whatever. Such people do
not need to fight long for recognition They
are not easily discouraged. There Is an Inn
partial and intelligent musical community to
which they can always appeal in person. with
assurance
We wish success to the American symphony

not President. and merely reached the Presi-
dency through the forcible expulsion OF the
previous holder Of that Office. This is bad
argument 1t is an evasion Of the ineligibility
clause OF the Constitution. The object Of that
clause was to prevent President from using
the influence OF his office In favor Of his re-
election: and PErxoTo has the opportunity OF
thus using his Influence. the same as IL he had
been elected President in the first place His
pretext Is poor one and should be so de-
clared by Congress. The best man for Presi-

stitutional qualifications for the Presidency.

1t was great victory for the cause OF

OF the cause was 0.3i7. The women OF the

elections. Never before could the woman suf-

such a victory. Tho Colorado miners were
disheartened for a while by the repeal OF the

when they voted to give the ballot to women.
