The message of Mayor Ronald sent to
the board Of aldermen last night affords
ell the justification the people needed for
their course in taking the city admins
tration on. of the hands of the Democrats.
Mayor Ronald gives figures to show that
the cost OF the sewers is far in excess OF
the estimates, and has even exceeded the
amount Of the bond issue.
Comptroller Carson permitted docn-
ment to go out of his Office claiming that
the sewers would be finished for $4,000
less than the estimates. As these are ex-
ceeded by sa5.0o. Mr.. Carson's figures
were just $4,000 wrong. One error Of
$4,000 alone ID pointed out by the mayor.
This is only enc OF many other decep-
tiens which the new administration will
have TO contend with. The deficiency wilt
have to DO met by the incoming council.
and. no doubt. two years hence the Dem
ocrats will point to the added outlay ss an
expenditure incurred" by the Republican
government.

The war in Brazil is probably ended by
the surrender OF Da Gama's rebel fleet.
The war never had any sound excuse for
being. and this fact accounts for its apa-
thetic life. The people OF Brazil take
small interest in their government, for
they know il to bc a constitutional farce
which is converted by alternate military
dietators into duh tragedy. Da CANA
aud Mello originally began the revolt to
keep peixoto from becoming president
again. The military and naval factions

election of Moraes. n civilian as president
there was really no good reason for the
further continuance of the revolt headed
by Da CANA and Mello. Da CANA and his
faction have been lighting only for their
lives OF late, aud the probability is tina,

new president peace would be fully re-
stored throughout Brazil.
The truth is that Brazil as whole is not
