Dom Pedro I knew knew this and
said It. His remarkable son, Dom
Pedro II knew it even better, and
did its work yet more successful
ly-from that July morning in ls40,
when 10000 Brazilian citizens sur
rounded the palace Of the Senate In

boy heir, whose mind was q mature

stitutional Emperor Of Brazil, 70 the

"the most enlightened and conscien-
tious regime In South America" came
to an end by Pedro lis unresisting alb

OF Gen. Manuel da Fonseca, who was
the tool Of great economic interests
that had long resisted the abolition
OF slavery. on which the aged monarch
and his daughter, the energetic

Always Accessible to Public.
Dom Pedro II was not only the
greatest asset of Brazil during the
10th century, but one Of the wisest
and most remarkable rulers who ever
graced . throne. Highly educated,
broad-minded, widely Travelled, friend
ly and modest, although he had the
blood Of the Hapsburgs and the Bour-
bons Is well As the Braganzas in his
veins. he kept no expensive court,
gave few balls or dinners and was
always accessible to the public-sen-
orally on Saturday evenings. An
American traveller writes OF how he
met the Emperor one day in Petro-
polls. the summer capital, standing
on the street corner by the railroad
station, with single attendant. Ap-
uarently out for a stroll. he had
stopped when the train came In to
see the new arrivals. In Rio he
often drove about Of an afternoon
bareheaded. in an old barouche, drawn
by four horses or mules, an open book
on his lap which he read busily
when he was not bowing to friends. !"
When "the FIRST gentleman of
South America" and "the best re-
publican in the monarchy" visited
the United States in 1876 (the first
reigning monarch ever to do so), he
arrived at his hotel in New York

II had failed in my resolution to
take the most energetic measures for
Its security, honor and prosperity, my
sacred promises would have been
broken: and who could have restrained
the evils Of anarchy, the dismember-
ment Of these provinces, and all the
furies Of democracy?
what violent contests would fol-
low between inveterate parties, be-
tween successfully rising and con-
flicting factions? To whom would
then belong the gold and the dia-
monds Of our inexhaustible mines
those rich rivers forming the strength
Of our states. that prodigious fertility
which Is the great source Of wealth
and prosperity? Who would reconcile
so many opposing interests? Who
would civilize our scattered popula-
ton, separated by numerous rivers as
large as seas? Who would then COM
municate with our Indians in their
impenetrable forests, or behind high
and inaccessible mountains? Brazil
this magnificent portion Of natures
workmanship, the envy and admira-
ton Of the nations, would indeed be
lacerated, and the benevolent pur-
pose Of Providence would be defeated
or at least for many years retarded
. I should be responsible for all
these evils . I have, therefore,
formed my resolution-I have adopted
the course which the people wish, I
have ordered the convocation Of the
General Assembly Of Brazil IN order
to cement our political independence
without breaking the ties OF Portu-
guese fraternity-which can alone be
preserved under two families on the
basis Of an equality Of rights and q
reciprocity Of interests"
Many Parallels Seen.
Such was the remarkable birth of
the United States Of Brazil and such
its unique declaration Of independence.
The of1enses Of "the acts OF the Con-
gress at Lisbon" were itemized by the
Princes manifesto, in language strik-
ingly parallel to the Indictment OF
King George III by the American
Declaration Of ITS. Indeed, those
who have closely studied our own
Revolution know that for long its
principal authors hoped to preserve
unity with the British monarchy,
while resisting the abuses of the mer-
cantilist. oliearchical Parliament, and
see many parallels between Brazilian
and North American political evolu-
ton. The statesmanlike questions
leveled at political science and capac-
ity by Dom Pedro required, and still
require, effective answers. Our own
answer has been a strong executive,
with popular responsibility-and suf-
f1cient public education and political
discipline to restrain the suicidal
spirit Of faction. Whether the ma
tional executive be called president or
majesty is Of little import. What is
absolutely indispensable in that it
shall be enlightened. strong enough to
resist the pressure Of self-seeking pri-
vate interests, and able to keep the
confidence Of the masses. while doing
the work Of reform and readjustment,
