BRAZIL AND THE FLOUR TRADE.
Plan Being Considered for American
Millcrs, Relief.

Minister Bryan at Rio de Janeiro has no.
titled the State Department that the Bra
lillian Government has under consideration
plan by means of which it hoped to re-
lieve the flour trade of the burdens COM
planned OF b. American millers. The details
of this scheme are to be communicated to
the Minister within a few days and viii
be transmitted by him 10 the State Depart
ment. If satisfactory TO this Government it
will be put into operation within a brief
period. As yet the details of the plan
are unknown here. but the news that Bra
zil will at last make some move in this
matter along the line suggested by the
United States looking toward lower duty
on flour, and one more nearly approaching
that on wheat. is regarded as very encour-
aging.
BY leyying high tariff on -four Brazil
has been. enabled to transfer almost COM
pletely the manufacture of -four for her
market from the United States TO Brazil
ian mills, to the great injury of American
millers who formerly supplied this trade

OF the representations Of this Government

The Urgent Need

(From the Philadelphia Record)
Senator Mark Hanna sends from across the sea
assurance that the campaign in Ohio will be Wig
orously prosecuted on national issues, unvexed by
considerations of State policy questions of
State administration. This is the familiar phase
OF Republican partisan methods wherever party
ascendancy has created and perpetuated public
abuses and wrongs that call loudly for redress at
the hands Of the people. 1t is the trick made use
Of here in Pennsylvania TO secure the renewal Of
boss domination and the continuance of a rotten
system Of machine tyranny which is detested by
all honest men throughout the Commonwealth no
matter what their party affiliations. Independent
thought and action by the patriotic voters Of
Ohio and Pennsylvania would be OF untold adj
vantage this year in breaking down the prestige
of the machine in politics.

THE NAVY's PART.
Vessels OF Every Type VIII welcome
the Admiral.

Every effort is being made by the Navy
Department to provide for the Dewey re-
ception at New York the biggest fleet of
modern war vessels ever assembled in
American waters. Not only will all the
armored ships ON the North Atlantic sta
ton be at Tompkinsville when the Olym
pia reaches there on September 2S, but ev-
cry cruiser and gunboat in sea-going condi-
tion at that time will be ordered there if
within convenient distance OF New York.
The department has determined to have
the fleet represent every type of war craft
in the United States Navy, and to that end
instructions have been sent TO the com
mandant of the Newport Naval Station 10
get five torpedo boats in condition to par
ticipate in the ceremonies. These torpedo
boats have been laid up in ordinary at
Newport since the ending Of the war with
Spain. Rush orders have been sent the
navy yards along the Atlantic coast to en-
sure the attendance of the vessels now uD-
der repairs at those places.

savage breaks down and destroys. This
rule is practically without variation. The
civilized man, in fact often preserves Gus
toms and things which it would be just
as well to destroy, simply because he has
a reverence for that which cost labor, time,

ton of this. To him a painting and a

There are some men, nominally civilized,
who are simply savages carrying guns in

animals by hundreds, and made bonfires

pie were starving in cities for want of

Friends of Junior Rear Admiral Sampson
appear to be delighted that on his re-
tirement from command of the North At
lantic squadron, he is not to be succeeded
by Senior Rear Admiral Schley. No great
er surprise could be given the country
than to see glimmer of patriotic sense
In the present Secretary OF the Navy.
He knows as well as another that next to
Dewey, Admiral Schley deserves all the
credit for the naval achievements OF the
war with Spain. Yet his admiration for,
or perhaps fear of, the Matanzas mule man,
has kept the absentee from the naval bat
tie Of Santiago in the ascendant, and the
officer who won that victory in the back
ground. Strange as it may appear, Schley
would actually have been disgraced if the
Administration had dared to put such an
affront upon the country.
