Since the death Of Congressman
MilIiken of Maine, the American
public has been watching with in
terest to see who will be selected
to fill the gap in the delegation
from Maine and represent the dis
trict where James G. Blaine secur-
ed his first political honors. It IS
now practically settled that ex
Governor Burleigh Of Augusta
Will be the man. He gave Mill
ken a hard rub for the nomination
IN 1892 and IS consequently re-
garded as the logical candidate.
Burleigh has an enviable record.
He started out as a poor boy and
worked his way into the hearts of
the people as a champion Of ''hon-
est politics" As owner of the Ken
nebec Journal he has in a way fol
lowed in the pathway of his Illus
trious predecessor, Mr. Blaine. Ha-
waits particular interest In Mr..
Burleigh Is that he IS not only in
terested in the country but Is
known as an ardent anneXationist.
He Is not an orator, but has a re-
putation as a political worker"
who by constant and judicious
canvassing usually ac-
complished what he once sets out
to do.

says: cit is always interesting to
note how ones views of religion are
modified by his standpoint, and
how opinions concerning the gor-
ing of oxen depend upon the ow-
nership of the cattle. 1t is very
unchristian for Americans to cher

the concert of all the powers of
Europe to coerce little Greece and
to support the Turkish assassin in

TROUBLES IN BKAzll4.

The troubles IN Brazil of which
occasional rumors are circulated
in the public press bear Watching
by those interested in the progress
of republican Institutions. To all
appearances the United States of
Brazil seems TO have settled down
to the usual condition of South
American republics, although the
sharp censorship upon the press, ac-
cording to the Literary Digest,
keeps the general public in ignor-
ance of the real phases Of the strug-
gle. The instruction now on foot
in the province Of Bahia is refer
red to as the work Of fanatics led
bv a false Christ. This Is the gov
ernment's statement of the case.
As a matter Of fact however, the
struggle Is between the republican
and royalist. forces. The latter
have not given up the idea that
restoration Is possible. The rebels
are led by a former colonel of the
Brazilian army, and they display
their dislike for the Republic by
destroying the notes issued by the
Republic and issuing money on
which appears the picture of the
ex emperor.
The correspondent of a German
paper Is authority for the state
ment that the Monarchists are re
ceiving large sums of money from
Europe and a general Monarchist
uprising is prophesied. This cor
respondent says: "The masses in
Brazil are anything but satisfied
with the reality resulting from
their dreams Of republican govern
ment. The poor and the working
men can not but compare their
former state with the present.
When Brazil was an empire, Bra
allan money stood above par. The
Brazilians then used to make fun
of Pedro Banana i. e., Soft
Pedro, who allowed the people to
walk all over him. The Repub-
hcan rulers find it difficult to CON
vince the people that a tolerably
efficient staff of officials and a pros
porous empire had to be destroyed |
for the sake of a principle"
The republican leaders in Bra
I'll are finding the difficulty en-
countered in nearly every South
American nation where the peo-
pie have been brought up in the
customs of monarchial rule. The |
common people have, as a rule, the
Irishman's idea of a free coun
try"-where a man can do as he |
pleases- finding that law and
order must still be maintained,
they draw the thoughtless conclu-
sion that the old form Is better
than the new. The Brazilian lead |
ers find that they must ''hold |
down the situation" meanwhile |
trusting to slow working educa-
tional forces TO accomplish the nee
essary changes in the public mind |
which Will finally result in pro
gressive and united nation where |
the power of brains and the ballot |
is placed above temper, prejudice
and powder and bullet.

The woman are true hclpmects. Not
only do they do their own work, but
they are able and willing to milk the
COWS and assist with the hay-getting
and In other ways lend hand out Of
doors In emergencies. Some Of them
even eke out the family income by lit
tie ventures Of their own, such as rails
ing hens and bees and gathering and
marketing spruce gum, beechnuts and
biueberries. There is no servant girl
problem, because there are no servants.
When sickness or some other real dis
sbility- necessitates female help In the
household . neighbor's daughter is
called in. She Ii, of course, regarded,
and in every minutest particular treat
ed, az member Of the family; It could
not be otherwise. The children are
trained to bear their share of the fam
lily burden. 70 far as it can be done with
ont interfering with their schooling,
and tho very school terms are arranged
with view to conflicting as little as
possible with farm work. When the
children grow up many Of them go out
into the world to seek their fortunes
(thst. within reasonable limits. Is a
law Of nature), but there is nothing
like an exodus of the rising generation,
no approach TO depletion. Plenty Of
ambitious, vigorous young men stay
behind to arrange themselves In life as
their fathers did before them, chopping
in the woods winters and tilling the
few acres they have been able to pur-
chase with their winters savings sum-
mers. Furthermore, there are plenty Of
desirable young women happy apd
proud to cast their lots in with the
young men and do their share Of the
drudgery necessary to establishing q
