Against the brazilian RepubIic.

The uprising in Brazil is no longer re-
ferred to as an emeute of religious fanat-
les. but as a rebellion against the govern
ment. The report is that, as a matter of
fact, 1t is inspired and directed by no less
a parsonage than the Comte D'Eu, the
husband of the daughter of Dom Pedro
II who wonld have been his heir to the
throne. 1t is said he landed in Brazil as
long ago as November. His coming was
secret, and his work was yelled by shrewd
methods. Antonio Conselhiero, one of his
chief lieutenants, went among the people
preaching a fanatical religious doctrine,
and singing religious songs of the days
of the empire. He proclaimed himself
a second Christ His success was wonder
fui. He gained especial influence over
the women. His preaching led to rioting,
a conflict with government troops, and
finally an extended uprising against the
government in one Of the southern states.
Recently the movement has grown rapidly
At the present time he is said to have TO-
900 to 1900 armed followers, ready to fol-
low him to the death
part of Conselhiero's following is made
up of women. who have shown themselves
TO be terrible fighters. They are armed
with knives something like the machetes
Of the Cubans, with which they do fearful
execution While the amazons form a
considerable proportion Of the insurgents
Conselhiero has also with him many de-
serters from the regular army and large
numbers of men from the laboring classes.
That it is the purpose of the insurgents
to restore the monarchy is now well under
stood. The peasantry have received lit
tie If any benefits from the change Of the
form of government brought about by da
Fonseca. It has meant to them only an
increase of taxation. The officers of the
army and the navy, however, have plucked
the plums The common people, it seems
had grown FESTIVE under what they were
inclined to look upon as an uneven distri-
button of the blessings of a republican
form of government, and the fanatic"
religionist agent of Comte D'Eu found
them good material to work upon. The
idea of the Comte, it appears, is to elevate
his wife to the throne and make himself
regent
If recent advices are to be depended up
on, it would not be surprising if the fight
ing in Brazil; before a great while quite
overshadowed that in Cuba. The sympa-
thies of the people of this country could
not be given to the Brazilian insurgents,
however, as they have been to the Cubans.

1T was shown at the hearing before the
railroad commission in Atlanta on Tues
day that there Is no general, and mighty
little local. demand for a sweeping reduc-
ton of one-third in railway freight rates
in the state. There are thousands of mer-
chants and shippers interested in the
rates. They ship millions of dollars worth
of commodities during the course of a
year, and are always on the lookout to
tons for the advancement of their pecu-
MARY interests. If there was fairness or
justice in the demand for taking away one
third of the railroads incomes from
freights, it is morally certain that the
complaint and application for a reduction
would have had numerous hackers. Yet
there was only one firm actively engaged
in the prosecution of the application. on
the other hand, there were at the hearing
merchants and trade bodies aligned
against the proposition. They have weigh
ed the matter carefully. They know what
the outcome would be il the petition
should be granted by the commission.
The railroads cannot be crippled with
out Gripping other classes of property, as
well as a great number of those who de-
pend upon their labor for their daily bread.
The matter has been carried over to a
future date. 1t should be allowed to re-
main pigeon-holed in the committees or
fees until there appear stronger reasons
for reviving it than have yet been devel-
oDed

Convicts and the Roads.

1t is gratifying to observe the interest
that is being taken in the good roads
movement by the press of the state. For
years the Morning News has been talking
good roads, urging the necessity for them
and discussing the means of obtaining
them. For years, also, we have advocated
the working of convicts upon the public
highways, when the state shall come TO
take charge of her convicts after the ex-
piration of the existing leases. The de-
tails of a scheme to be employed we have
preferred to leave to the wisdom of the
legislature. Some of our esteemed con-
temporaries. with the enthusiasm of re-
cent converts are offering plans in de-
tail, some of which contemplate working
the whole convict force on the roads, and
taxing the people to feed and clothe
them
We hardly think that the best idea. The
people are taxed enough already. Instead
of an increase, there should. if possible.
be a decrease in taxation. The peniten-
tiary institution should be made self-sup-
porting. 1t seems that there ought not
to be any great difficulty in arranging

could be divided between state farms and
road work. The farm force could be made
to support the whole gang, and pay the
expenses of the civil engineering, the
guards and the officers.
The governor is now giving his atten-
ton to the convict problem. 1t is under
stood that he is a staunch friend of good
roads. 1t is to be presumed, therefore.
that he will use his influence in favor of
the movement, and do what he can to have
at least a portion of the army in stripes
assigned to an active campaign of road
building.

tional meet of the League of American Wheelmen, the annual blue ribbon event of the season, at which time all the championships will be decided, will be held this year in Philadelphia, and that affair will attract the riders from every section of the country.
 The men who will follow the national circuit this year will comprise the chief riders of 1896, with the exception of Hamilton, Coulter, Ziegler, Bliss and McCrea. When the L. A. ". refused to sanction Sunday racing, the western states threatened to secede from the national organization, and California made good her threat to the extent of promoting Sunday racing. Ziegler, Coul- ter and McCrea, who had been on the national circuit in previous years, were persuaded to ride in these unsanctioned races, with the result that they have been suspended for two years by the racing board. This will prevent their appearance on the national circuit, while Hamilton has retired, as has Blfss-the latter one of the oldest rid CTS in America, and the most diminu- tive until the appearance of Michael
 Among the new men who will be seen on the circuit this year are Michael, the phenomenal Welsh rider who has just become naturalized, Lesna, the famous French long-distance rider who is now on his way to this country from Aus tralia, Parsons, the famous Australian who has ridden in this country before, and number of new men who have shown remarkable sprinting powers and seem able to hold their own with the best of them
 The question of championship honors is one that generally monopolizes the conversation of those who follow the racing business closely. Until 1894 there was no question as to the Amer can championship, as that title had been fairly won and maintained by Arthur A. Zimmerman. The year following his departure from this country for his for eign conquests, Walter Sanger, his most formidable rival, was accorded the place formerly held by the Jerseyman, and the next year Bald took stellar honors; last year it was Cooper.
 The following table. showing the champions for the seasons from the in= troduction of the safety wheel, will be 5 of great interest to wheelmen. The best ten riders and their records for the sea son of 1899 ranged as follows:

 This bag, by it's shape and appear ance, was presumably filled with hay or moss, or possibly with grain, and was not so well adapted for developing quiclness as the modern windbag; but 1t was pretty good for 2,2oo years ago, after all.
