To rHp Epiroa THF Sux--Sir. Will you Kindly state
which Ia the pr per expressions optical Deusion or
optical Illusion. BROAD SlRgEr.
A delusion IL a standing and continuing
opinion or belief that som ething is profoundly
different from what 1t really IL. For instance.
the belief that Mr.. Wheeler II. Peckham pos
sesses the qualities that ut man to be a jus
tice Of the Supreme Court is a deluslon: yet It
is not proper to call II an optical delusion.
Such n mistaken opinion Is not generated
through any deceit OF the senses. but By . per-
version OF Judgment
An Illusion. on the other hand. 10 false i'm
preston produced by mistake OF sight. or
hearing. or some other sense. For instance.
II we should see Mr. Teckham. and should
thereupon elieve him to he handsome man.
II would be n delusion. because II would be
untrue; but the cause OF it would be an optical
Illusion. through which Mr.. Peckham had ap-
peared to the observer to be handsome. while
really he is ugly. Accordingly the phrase an
optical delusion" is not proper. while AN op-
tical illusion is entirely proper.
All Of which, we trust will appear lucid and

Two Presidential Elections To-Day.

The wearisome war In the American re-
public which stands next TO our own In
size and power may be brought to an end
by the election for President OF Brazil, which
is to be held to-day. There are two candi-
dates for tho oflice. both statesmen OF dis
unction: DIR. MoRAEs, Vice. President of the
Senate. who may be called the official can
didate. and Senior PESNA. jurlst, who is
Governor OF one OF the States. Both of them
are civilians. and both are faithful support
ers OF the republic. We recently had the
pleasure OF printing letter which Minister
MENDoHcA sent to The Sun. in eulogy
Of the first named OF these candi-
dates, and We must accept tho Minis
ters estimate OF his merits. though
we ourselves had previously regarded
MoRARs as less worthy OF the Presidency
than MRNDoNCA himself. His rival also,
we are assured. is a gentleman who would
honor the office. and who has had large
experience as jurist and a politician. We
Judge by our advices from Rio that Dr.
MoRAEs will win in the contest. and this
judgment is in agreement with that OF
Minister MESDoSCA.
The President of Brazil is elected by the
voters directly, and must have an absolute
majority of the votes. The franchise ex-
tends to all citizens who have reached the
age OF twenty-one. with the exception OF
soldiers actually serving. beggars. Hitter
ates." and members OF the mouastie or
other ecclesiastical orders under vows of
obedience, The names of the qualified
voters are listed, and, on election day,
as each name Is called out by q clerk
the voter answering to il expresses his
choice OF candidate by word OF mouth.
This system is made necessary by the fact
that large proportion Of the population
are unable to read or write. The word " lit
crate does not always stand for scholar in
Brazil. The most unsatisfactory feature Of
the system is that il gives the Government
officers the opportunity OF exercising an in
huence upon the voters. The official pressure
throughout the country in to-day's cleo
lions will undoubtedly be heavy; and that
Is one OF the chief reasons for expecting the
success OF the Presidential candidate ia
vored by the Government. 1t will probably
be a month or more before We get the ofii-
cial returns OF the voting from the twenty
States. as the country is OF vast extent as
a considerable part Of 1t is in condition OF
disorder. and as the means of communiea-
ton by railroad or telegraph are exceed |
ingly defective.
There Is reasonable ground for the hope |
that the election may bs the means Of re- |
storing peace in Brazil. 1t was primarily |
against the alleged assumptions OF Presi- |
dent PEIXoFO that the naval rebels de- |
clsred war. They said that he had violated |

The Navy at Honolulu.

We believe It to be fact that while the
officers and men Of our war ships in Ha-
waiian waters have scrupulously obeyed
orders. and have refrained from undue
demonstrations OF political character.
their sympathies have been very decidedly
with the Provisional Government that now
rightfully rules in the islands.
In this attitude they simply share the
sentiments o' the American people. Of which
they are worthyreprcsentativc We know
that Capt. W1LTsE. shortly before his
lamentcd death, expressed his pride at the
part which it had become his duty to take.
under the direction OF the American Minis
ter, in preserving order and protecting
American interests at Honolulu. lie was
glad that the opportunity had Teen his to
land forces from the Boston on that oc-
casion. regarding. as he did. the downfall Of
the throne and OF the Cunstitn,jun-dpfying
Queen M being in consonanre with Amrri-
can sentiment and American destiny.
The navy. too. has furnished many ardent
advocates OF annexng Hawaii. on the
ground OF its strategic and commercial
Importance TO our country. II Is tho great
way station between the United States and
China Australia. and the South Seas Naval
officers pointed out the value Of Pearl River
Harbor as a coaling station. and from Capt
MAHAN has come the most elaborate and
convincing argument for the annexation
OF Hawaii on military grounds.
A significant indication Of the real SYM
pnthy OF our crews at Honolulu was fur
nished by the order which IL was thought
expedient TO issue. some time ago. for
bidding them TO wear insignia and emblems
belonging to the political interests of the
Islands. There was probably little fear
oftheir parading in the streets with royal
list tokens on their garments; but some
Of them already wore tokens OF sympathy
with the opposite sentiment. Again. when
Mr.. WILLIS arranged that no salute should
bo fired on the recent anniversary day Of
the new Government and the ships should
not be dressed in honor of the occasion. the
disappointment aboard was general. The
men would gladly have gone ashore and
taken part In the parade.
The officers and men OF the Philadelphia
and the Adams may have had legs to do for
free Hawaii. than their predecessors of tho
Boston. But they are no less true in feeling
to American interests there. and the day
cannot be far distant when our ships will |
visit Honolulu as an American port.
