The Republic of Brazil.

Although four years have passed
since the revolution which drove
OUT the Emperor Dom Pedro, and
three years since a republican con>
%stitution was proclaimed in the
United States Of Brazil, this con~
stitution has now for the first time
been put into operation in the
election of Senior Prudempte Da
Moraes as President. On the orig
inal proclamation of the republic,
Marshal DA Foneca assumed the
direction of the provisional govern
ment and was confirmed in the
Presidency by the Constitutional
Congress of 1891, with General
Peixoto as Vice President. Later
in the same year Foneca was forced
to resign and Pexoto succeeded him,
nominally as President, actually as
military dictator.
This is the ostensible ground of
the instruction against the Cows
eminent at Rio which has kept
portions ef Brazil in a tumlut eve
since the overthrow of the Empire,
and lately has kept the capital its
self in a state of siege. Whatever
the real motives or the Interior
purposes of the naval officers who
fret turned against the Emperor,
and lately against the President;
they have steadtastly protested bu,
one purpose, to insist upon a con
stitutional government. This the
election of Dr.. DA Moraes at least
makes possible.

early Republican, a man of expe-

The bill provides that all this bull
lion shall be coined, that the treas
ury notes which have been issued
in payment for silver bullion shall
be cancelled as fast as they come
into the treasury and that silver
certificates shall be issued in their
stead. The treasury notes are legal
tender but the silver certificates
are not and it would thus seem that
the provision Of the bill for the
coinage of the bullion besides the
seigniorage will not practically
enlarge the currency.

The S~eignicrage Bill.

Il is we'll to understand exactly
what the seiguiorage bill is which
has passed the house Of representas
tives.
1t consists Of two sections which
relate to different subjects. The
first section directs the secretary tc
coin the seigniorage of the bullion
now in the vaults of tho treasury.
This will amount to $55 ,156,6S1 in
standard silver dollars.
The bill provides that "such
coin and silver certificates issued
thereon shall be used in the pay
III at of ublic expenditures, and
the secretary of the treasury may
in his discretion, if the needs of the
treasury demand it, issue silver
certificates in excess of such coin
a.e" up to the amount named.
TIE bill as it passed vas DIFF
fc-ent from what il was when il
was introduced 10 that it now re-
qnsres that the seigniorage shall
be ffst coined and used in the pay,
ment # public expenditures. l,
authorizes the secretary of the
treasury in his discretion, to anti.
cipa.e the coinaEo by mean of sill

Mr.. Gladstone's Retirement.

Mr.. Gladstone treated the world
to two surprises. Although several OF
the English papers asserted prior to
the Grand Old Mans return from
the Continent hat he would attack
the House of lords and offer his res
ignatlon, it was not generally be-
lieved that he would do either. He
has done both. When, however, we
consider MI. Gladstone's political
career as a whole, it IS difficult to es-
cape the conviction that the first
step was merely a dramatic and not
altogether sincere prelude to the Sec
ond. The suspicion intrudes itself
that had he intended to remain in
Office and lead another fight before
the people he would have advised his
follows to pursue a much more con-
ciliatory course towards the Peers.
But even admitting that his suspi-
cion is unfounded, we fail. to see any
very grave significance in Mr.. Glad
stones criticism of, or, as some term
it, challenge to the upper house.
His speech was %caustic and brilliant,
but it was also ambiguous, and GER
tainly it would not appear to sound
the death knell Of the House of
Lords. The declaration in the speech.
which elected the greatest applause
from the Liberals and Radicals, that
there was a higher power than the
House of Commons, viz, the people:
was calculated to prove catchy" fo1
the moment, but no one knows bet
ter than Mr.. Gladstone that the
Peers recognize that the people are
also a higher power than the upper
house. This is proved by the record
that the House of Lords has never
failed to bow to the will of the peo-
pie when the will was unequivo.

Rain From a C!oudless Sky,

1t appears that rain can fall from
a cloudIess sky. This is true of a
thin rizzle which falls in France,
known as s'serein." AS the atmos-
phere looks quite clear when it falls,
the probability is all in favor of the
moisture having been brought by the
Wind at a great elevation. In the is
land Of Eauritlas the phenomenon is
by no means uncommon during the
prevalence of southeast wind, slight
showers falling in cloudless evenings
when the stars are shining brightly.
There the rain is thought to be due
to invisible vapor in the upper
reaches of the atmosphere, being
condensed at once and falling in
drops without passing through the
intermediate stage of cloud. Rose
said that in the south Atlantic it
rained on one occasion for upward
Of an hour while the sky was alto
gether free from the clouds. Says q
Genoese naturalist, '"The night was
clear, the stars were shining with
their accustomed brilliancy, when {
shower of rain, consisting of large
luke-warm drops, fell during siz
minutes upon the town. A sim
liar view was once observed at Con-
stantire, in Algeria, about noon, the
sky being all the time a splendid
blue. Some believe that these
showers are the result of particles O
ice formed in the higher regions
melting and falling, while otheri
attribute them to currents of warn
and cold air travelling in opposite
directions, with the result that tn
latter condenses some of the mois
ture in the former and causes it t.
