Brazilian Troubles Rio Janeiro April The idea of dispensing with the constituent assem bly has been revived and it is now pro posed to establish a constitution by a provisional government subject to the ratification of the plebiscite The ad vocates claim this will be more expedi tious than any other method and will effectually preclude any attempts to re vive monarchy The opponents of the idea

house to reduce the number of civil service commissioners from three to one is hot to be interpreted as an attack on the system which these gentlemen repre sent Be says that he believes in civil service reform and that the republican party cannot do better than to maintain it by strictly enforcing the law and con tinuing to make appointments and pro motions on the basis of merit but he does not see any use for having three commissioners when one could manage the office just as well and perhaps a good deal better As long as one man is capa ble of managing the pension office the Indian office and the patent office exer cising the duties of the comptroller of the currency and carrying on other branches of the government lie docs not see why it is necessary to have three men at the head of a much smaller bureau and of infinitely less importance than those mentioned If he had his way he would abolish two of the eom missionerships and have the bureau un der the control of one good man who is in sympathy with the administration and the republican party It may be said in connection that there is a very strong feeling in congress in favor of jhe position taken by Mr Dorsey although iiis amendment was ruled out of order because it would change the existing law and that is not allowed on appropriation bills Bill Knocked Out Washington April By a strict party vote the

workmen on May day Neither would he display any anxiety which would only increase the aggres siveness 'of the Antagonism between employers and employed was a natural law and was a necessity of human progress Progress would cease Should man ever become satisfied He dwelt upon the need of combating social ism the victory of which lie said would mean government by the least Jntelli gent He predicted that socialism would give a good deal of trouble yet He said the man who would yield to the present manifestation was a coward and it was sotne times true benevolence to shed theblood of a riotous minority in defence of the law abiding majority He de clared that May day was not a dangerous enemy The day need not be dreaded It would be merely a sham fight like that of the Salvation army Ts 9 75

Neb April 28 The gov ernor has addressed the following inter esting letter to Senator Paddock: State of Nebraska Executive De partment Lincoln Neb Hon A Paddock United States Senator Wash ington I): Dear Sir: I address you more especially as you are chairman of the committee on agriculture in refer ence to a jnatter of vital interest to the farmers of the west In addition to the oppressive rates of transportation to which they are subject in sending their grain to market there is another equally grievous wrong which they are com pelled to endure There is no question in my mind but that the farmers of Nebraska ave been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars within the last few years by the wrongful classification of corn at Chicago and other great corn centers There are three grades viz: No 2 which is the best No 3 and 4 inferior and poor grade and then no grade at all Much of the Nebraska corn is rated as No 3 and 4 and here comes in the great injustice to our farmers It is a well known fact that nowhere in the civilized world is there better corn raised than in Nebraska and yet by a false system of grading we are grossly robbed every year and the only way to prevent it is in my judgment for the United States authorities to suppress it If doubts exist as to the right of the government to interfere I answer the government appoints gaugers to inspect whiskys and grade them the depart ment of agriculture appoints cattle in spectors at different points congress legislates to prevent the adulteration of lard by legislation it regulates the man ufacture of oleomargarine it is seeking to overturn the monstrous evil of gamb ling in food products May it not legis late to prevent frauds in the grading of corn? If it bo answered that this is a state matter I answer the states do not ap ply the remedy and I ask that the United States do it The object of the government as set forth in the preamble of tho constitution is establish jus and promote the general wel Justice and the general welfare will be promoted by suppressing the evil of which I am complaining If United States inspectors with United States statutes providing heavy fines and pen alties for their violation could be ap pointed at Chicago St Louis Baltimore Philadelphia New York and Boston the system of false grading of corn and other grains would cease I ask your earnest attention and that of the delegation to this subject Very truly yours John Thayer Ingersoll on the isht Hotir Labor New York April Robert In 'gersoll has the following editorial over his own signature in the Journal: hardly know enough on the isnbject to give an opinion as to the time when' eight hours aie to become a work') but 1 am perfectly

before daylight and work till after dark life is of no particular'importance simply earns enough one day to 1 prepare himself to work another His whole life is spent in want and toil and such a life is without value course I cannot say that the pres ent effort is going to succeed All J) can say is that I hope it willl cannot see how any man who does who lives in can in sist that others should I

outlet for the flood waters of the Mississippi river through Borgne I The Office Not a Sinecure Washington April If any one has an idea that the office of president of the United States is a sinecure he might change his views if he could see General table and the work that is piled on it The president is a methodical man a rapid worker and dis poses of business much faster than his predecessors in office but the increase in population has naturally resulted in an increase of official business and the president gets his share of it On his table to day for example I saw fifty four bills that have been passed by con gress engrossed upon large sheets of parchment which he is required by the constitution to examine and prove or disapprove If he proves them he signs the bills notifies congress of the fact If he dis approves them he must write a veto message to that branch of the national legislature in which they originated giving his reasons therefor and his objections to the legislation they con tain Thus far in his administration he has written no veto message but he occasionally lets a bill become a law without his approval as is always the case when he does not send a veto to con gress after its passage Some of the bills require not less than half an hour and then come with them from the capi itol explanatory remarks from the com mittee from which they were reported There he has to examine carefully in order to discover the reasons for and the objections to the several bills and it often happens that he has to call the chairman of the committee into consul tation where there are points that he doesyKOt understand and that the reports do not make clear Before he takes up tho bills for consideration he always re fers them to the members of the cabinet who will have the responsibility of their execution in case they become laws and who are supposed to be most familiar with the subject These gentlemen usually submit briefs to him containing their views on the subject or give them a wholesale approval if they have no observation to make Investigating Election Little Rock Ark April 25 The sub committee of the house election committee appointed to investigate the
