TuERE are men, and newspapers too

THEBE are men, and newspapers too,
who are always under the necessity OF
defending the quality Of their Democracy
because they are always attacking Demo
Gratis and Democratic platforms. The
way to be a Democrat is to support, not
to condemn, Democratic measures. The
Republicans do the latter aud the right
place for a man, or newspaper, who Is
not for us is to 60 over boldly and hon
estly, soul and body together We dc
not wish either without the other.

Secretary Gresla,n Has Acted

WASHINGTON, Sept. s-Secretary
Gresham decided this morning not to
wait longer for official notification that
revolution mad broken out in Brazil
and he accordingly sen cable message
to Minister Thompson, who is supposed
to have reached Rio de Janeiro by this
time, instructing him to concur in gen
eral diplomatic remonstrance against
the burdensome intercourses with the
foreign commerce OF Brazil through the
suspension OF Geographic communica-
ton. This dispatch was sent in accord
ance with partial promise made by
Gresham yesterday to the New York
coffee exchange, which intimated that
Brazil was discriminating against United
States trade. The United States steam
ship Charleston, which is in South
American waters, has been ordered to
Brazilian ports.

Success of the IL. Nj. c. A. Festival.

The festival under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society of thu r M. G. A.
last night at the lawn on Twelfth street
n. w. was even more largely attended
than on Thursday night and was most
literally patronized by the large mum Der
of railroad men and their friends who
were present. From o'clock until
midnight the hall and the brilliant lawn
were crowded with the festive young
people who entered heartily into the
festivities. The affair was financial
success as we'll as brilliant social event,
and the sum turned into the treasury by
the noble band of Christian workers was
q considerabl BILE one.

An Eminent Diplomatlst Dead.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Hamilton Fish, whose death at Garri-
sons, N. Y, occurred yesterday had a
protracted and honorable public ca
reer. AS long ago as 1912 he served a
term in the House of Representati, es at
Washington. In 1s4S he was governor
of New York and in 1851 a United
States Senator.
A Wing in politics, he became a Re-
publican, and in 1860 ped TO cleo.
Lincoln. He negotiated an agreement
between the Confederate States and the
United States in 1862 for an exchange
of prisoners, which agreement contin
ued till General Grant adopted the poll
icy OF exhausting the Southern armies
by refusing exchanges.
March, 1869. he became Secretary of
State in Grants cabinet. and held this
post till the close of Grants second
term. His chief distinction was gained
at this time in negotiations of various
kinds, The treaty of Washington of
May, 1871, was in part his work. He
negotiated also the settlement Of our
Northwestern boundary dispute and
aided materially in making the arbitra
ton OF the Alabama question success
for the United States.
The Virginius question with Spain
was settled successfully through mis-
efforts. The traditions of the office OF
Secretary OF State were not lowered
during his term, as in more recent years.
He was public man of whom any state
might BIO proud.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Action Has Not Been Taken For Contest
ing the Election.

Action Has Not Been Taken For Contest
ing the Election.
No new developments of any consid-
cradle Importance In the l,cal option
election contest matter were made yes
terday.
Messrs. Watts, Robertson and Robert
son and Capt. w. w. Berkely, who, it is
understood, have been retained as coun-
sci by the Liquor Dealers Protective
Association, were busily engaged in the
suit OF the Rivermont Land Company
VS.. Henry King. now pending in the
Hastings Court, and have not had time
to look into the matter. When this
suit is concluded they will investigate
the alleged ground for contest, hold a
consultation and report their decision
TO the Liquor Dealers Protective Asso-
citation, who will then decide whether
a contest will be made.
No official statement has been given
out, but from conversations held on the
streets it is thought that the contss
will be waged on tue following grounds:
The violation of the Law by some of
the registrars in that they closed their
books several days before eIec.ion day
and refused 10 registrar Voters upon
application to be registered.
q LEX HhQ IO ltRbl
to act as challens er at tho pol S Tor
either ono of the parties to the contest.
That "convicts" were allowed to vote
in one of the wards.
That at one polling place several
wet" voters applied TO vote, but were
rejected because "the polls are closed, ;"
but the polls subsequently reopened and
several dry" votes received
The loss OF the registration books in
the First ward and the subsequent com
pilation of a new book by the registrar.
as published in The TIMEs yesterday,
will perhaps be made the chief part OF
the contest.
A prominent lawyer of this city in
formed THE TIMES yesterday that he
could find no statute law concerning a
contest of an election of this kind and
thought the only way the subject could
be brought before the courts would be
for some one to apply for a barroom
license, and upon the refusal Of the
court to grant it, take an appeal on the
ground that the election was illegal and
make the fight on that line. This could
either be done now or at any subsequent
time.

resting on their oars and awaiting de-
