PEACE IN SIGHT.

The indications are that there will
soon be n permanent cessation ofhostili-
ties in Brazil. Martial law is to be re-
volxed on February 26 and new presi-
dent elected to take up the burden of
engineering republic that is not yet
ripe for repubIicanism. 1t is to be
hoped that man will be chosen who
will suit both elements in the crotchety
ration. DIR. de Moraes, the president of
the Senate, is named for the candidacy
and it is probable that he will be chosen
at the election to take place March 1.
If the Brazilians want to do really
sensible thing and surprise themselves
as well as the world at large they will
unite on one good man. throw out Peix-
oto and Mello and ia CANA. and settle
down to an era of intelligent peace.
Their bloodless wars are becoming
monotonous.

THE NATIONS SHANE.

The expected happened yesterday in the
House when the "cuckoos' voted to ap-
prove the attempt of the President of the
United States to overturn friendly gov
ernment and place back upon her throne
a dissolute and barbarous queen who had
been overthrown by disgusted and
abused people.
The policy of infamy was ordered

House, and when the clock struck the

responded to the roll-call of shame.
Cleveland is to be congratulated upon
his tools. Afawning, cringing set. cry

in the dust to obtain the smiles OF the
head of the Administration. BY threats
and by the use of federal patronage he
has succeeded in getting his
course approved by the House.
willis the people all over
the land North aud South hang their
heads in shame ut the spectacle the

MORE CUTDowNs.

The overworked statement OF the
Democrats that the hard times are over
does not receive confirmation from Fall
River where the owners Of the King
Philip Mills have informed their en-
ployes that they must accept cutdown
of 16 per cent. or the mills will be com
PEELED to shut down for an indefinite
period.
The announcement was made in no tone
OF defiance, but was the simple statement
of an incontrovertible fact. The mills
cannot continue to operate at the
old schedule with the Wilson bill
threatening destruction to Ameri-
can industries. The owners of the
King Philip Mills made plain, unequiv-
ocal, manly statement. There is no
disposition on their part to oppress the
spinners in their employ. The help is
merely told that it must assist in
bearing the burdens imposed
upon industrial prosperity by the cleo
ton of 1892. 1t is sad but indisputable
fact that American industries are i'm q
terribly demoralized state and the worst
is not yet.
simultaneously with this report comes
another from Cleveland where the
Foundrymen's Association has decided
that il must enforce uniform cut of 10
per cent.
The Wilson bill is at work.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-02-08

when it gets through with the bill,
Prof Wilson would need an introduc-
tion to it were it not for its identifying
strawberry mark, the income tax, which
is to be allowed to remain.
The Senate Committee propose to put
duties on sugar, coal and iron ore and
they propose to entirely revise the Will
son bill on all schedules ofmanufactured
goods. Some rates will be reduced and
others increased. The Wilson bill Is to
be destroyed in other words, and a new
tariff bill created along the lines of the
old Walker tariff.

REPEAL OF ELECTION BILL.

The Senate yesterday voted to repeal
the Federal Elections bill. The speech
of Senator George f. Hoar in which he
deprecated such action was Of little
avail as the Democrats have for years
longed to destroy this wise provision,
which simply has placed safeguards
around the sacred right offranchise, and
now that they. have the power are en-
joying it to the utmost. He denied that
the act of 1870 was a sectional one, or
that it was intended to discriminate
against the Democratic South. 1t ap-
piled only to cities of over 20. 900 popula-
tion, and at the time it was passed there
were 81 such cities in the North and
but five in the South.
That such laws are necessary every
national election shows. The crimes
against the ballot, especially in the larg-
er cities, are so foul and so black in their
infamy that one is almost tempted
to believe that the experiment of
free government is failure. Without
every protection it is a failure, for, when
the will of the people as expressed by
their ballots, can be subverted by the
successful crimes of those entrusted with
the guardianship of the ballots, the
ballot becomes hollow mockery and
travesty upon free government.
The Republican party has always de-
manded free ballot aud a fair count.
The Democrats have always opposed all
laws tending to throw safeguards arour d
the ballot box, and now at their first
opportunity they have succeeded in re-
pealing the laws that for 90 years have
guaranteed the honesty of elections.
