The people there do not propose to allow the Vermonters to mono polize all the land business. The serio-cimio drama, “How Can We Corral Montana*'’ continues to draw large audiences at the national capital The per formance will be continued this week. . In the Kentucky legislature last Thurs day the Senate passed a bill granting a whipping post law to Graves county. A bill was also passod calling for a constitutional convention. Chicago papers tell the story that that city is a horrible place, and that gamblers crooks and tbi- ves are holding high carni val there. \V hat w ill its condition be when the world's fair is fairly opined' The farmers’* alliance of Kansas uaunot consistently indorse Senator Ingalls and Us doings in congress. HU “hayseed consiitu ents, ’ as he is pleased to call them, are put ting on the war-paint and preparing their | tcjlpitig knive-. A Constitution for Brazil The few military men who overthrew the monarchy in Brazil and set up what they | call a provisional government may be sin j cere, and maybe doing what they believe to be for the best interests of that country, but at this distance it loc ks ve.-y much as j it they were preparing the way t> establish themselves in piwer permanently. When 1 they had driven Do n Pedro out of the country they see me 1 to bo sati-fied to enjoy the power they possessed lor awhile before consulting the people with respect to a con stitution for the republic. It was ouly when signs of discontent began to appear that they fixed the date for the election of delegates to a constitutional coaventio a. Sine? they have boe i in power they have done just as they please 1, and many of their decrees show that they have very little reaped for the noople. Tney a-e responsible to nobody, and do not act as if they felt any great responsibility. There has not been since Dom Pe iro was deposed, and there is not now, anything worthy of the name of liberty in Brazil. The min stry. the parlia ment, and thi local legislatures and local governments of the different provinces have all disappeared. The will of the pro visional government is law everywhere throughout the country. As yet, there fore. nothing has been gained by the revolu tion for which the people have any reason to be thankful. Bat a constitution is promise 1, and the constitutional c invention is called to meet in September. Will it represent the people, or will it be the creature of the provisional government? It looks now as if there were schemes to prevent the adiption of a consti tution that would permit the pooplo to con trol the country. Ii our dispatches the other dav it was seated that a number of scientific expirts l(M bie.i chosen to frame a constitution. It was also stated that the constitution thus framed was to be submitted to the people at the time of tjj-Alectiori of de'egates to th e constitution illonveation, and that if it were rejected the convention would frame another, but if it were adopted the conven tion would becfifhe a legislative body. As the men who are to frame the constitution were appointed by the provisional govern ment they will draw up an instniment.doubt less.that will be in harmony with the wishes of that government. The number of voters is limited, and the government will have little, if any, difficulty in h iving it adopted. Having the array under its control, it could dictate to the convention, if the duty of making a constitution should devolve upon that body, or it could control the conven tion if that body should have the making of laws under the constitution framed by the provisional government anl approved by the the people. The action of the provisional government in preparing a constitution in advance of the meeting of the constitutional c inven tion certainly looks as if the members of that government, having had a taste of power, had determined to retain control of affairs. This view may be unjust to the providonal government. Whether it is or not events in Brazil, during the next six months, will determine. Brazil may be In the hands of good man, who will give the peiiple constitutional liberty and retire to private life, unless further public service from them is demanded, but there are not at pruse.it any very hopeful signs of such an outcome of the revolution. Democrats Barred Out. The Union League Club, of New York, is ufraid to admit democrats to membership in that organization. It thinks, probably, that if democrats were admitted it would not be very long before the majority of Its members would be democrats. It wa3 started as a republican organization, and democrats have never been admitted, but a great many of the members have been con verted to democracy, and a large number of them voted for Mr. Cleveland at the last Presidential election. They preferred Mr. Cleveland and tariff reform to Gen. Harri son and lugh protection. The presence of democrats in the club has been a source of irritation and annoyance to the extreme republican members, who have watched the growth of democratic sentiment in the club with anything but feelings of pleasure. A week or so ago the committee on ad missions hesitat'd about rejecting the ap plications for membership of a number of gentlemen who voted for Mr. Cleveland. On investigation it was found that at least half of this committee of sixteen had voted for Mr. Cleveland. This discovery created a good deal of a tempest, and a general meeting was at once called. The meeting was held Thursday night, and Mr. Chauncey M. Depew preside). A resolution was adoptixl by a vote of 321 to 173, asserting that only true and tried republicans should be admitted to membership. Doubtless the republican members are now comparatively happy. The only thiug they have to fear is that a majority of their members will change their politics and vote the democratic ticket. This fear is not a groundless cue. If Mr. Cleveland should l>e the democratic presidential candidate in 1892 a iutnber of the members of the club will support him. Indued, so highly is he esteemed by men of character and in fluence in New; York, and so generally is his position oa the tariff approved, that a majority of the Union League Club may vote for him. In that event wouldn’t there be a lively row in the club? Perhaps the liide-bound republican members would then become believers in the doctors of secession, and would secede aud establish another club. In an address before the Nashville Liter ary Club la-t Thursday night Dr. Edward W. Bemis of Vanderbilt University gave a very comprehensive analysis of the causes of “Socialism.” The growth ;of socialism, he ciaimeJ, was due mainly to the abuses of competition. The improvement in ma chinery had made it possible tor corpora tions to employ weak muscles, and children who should be in school are taken into the factories. “The greedy emoloyer can bring his fellow producers down to his level by cutting prices, and his progressive degrada tion of children means degradation of the whole community.” The extortions of mo nopoly were another cause assigned for socialism. Foreign immigration is receiving much attention at pre lent, and means for shutting out objectionable immigrants are being suggested. Mr. Samuel Guinpers, the chief of the labor federation, has a plan which he will submit iu a few days. Commissioner St iit thinks that the number of undesirable immigrants is increasing. Cultured Boston desires to keep pace with New York, and u company has been form id to co ;struct a system of elevated railroads iu that city. The legislature of Massa ctut (etts has been asked to grant a charter for that purpose. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. APRIL 13. 1890—TH'ELYE PAGES. The Farmers' Alliance Platform. Tue platform of the farmer.’ alliance has several very good features. O.ajtorf them that is com men table relates to the common schools and another to the convict system. The common i-chool sy ,Lem of the state is not what it should be. Much of the money appropriated f or scho >1 purposes is waited. In a large number of counties the schools are o eu only three or four months in the year, and the teachers are often wholly unfitted for their duties. They are nothing more than the pensioner! of thoss w ho have the control of the schools. There is no doubt that better results could be obtained from the money expended for the support of public schools if the right kind of effort were made. Und*r proper management most of the counties which don >t now contribute anything to the sup port of the schools could be induced to do so. The people would have a higher appreciation of them and would insist upon the standard of them being raised it they male sacrifice for them. No money should be aporopriatid by the state for mg ier education until the common schools were in a satisfactory conditio i. AV'hatever money is appropriated for edu - cational purposes, outside of the common schools, should be devoted to technical edu cation. The present convict system has never had the approval of the people of the state, and time and time again the legislature has been urged to substitute some other for it. The legislature, however, has never been able to agree upon another system, for the reason, mainly, that almost any other system would imp >se a heavy burden upon the taxpayers. The Morn-ino News has suggested that the convicts should bo employed in improving the public roads. The money now spent upon the roads is not productive of sasisfactory results. The road tax could be used to much bettor advantage in supporting c raviets in working the roa is under a competent engineer. It is pretty safe to say tnat e :ch county in the state would be glad to support convicts while working its roads. There is no probability that congress will approve of the sub-treasury plan of the farmers’ alliauco. It could not very well do so. The sub-treasury ptua is nothing more nor less than that the government shall go into tie factorage butineas. The government has about ai much to do as it can attend to now. The farmers’ alliance might gat state governments to guarantee titles to the" lands of the farmers within their respective limits. With a guarantee of that kind money could easily be raised oi farms. Tnere is some such system in Australia, aud lands are transferred there by a simple in dorsement on dee is and mortgage!. It is as easy to get money thereon security of that kind as it is to got it o i bonds an 1 stocks, and it would bs here it there were not so much difficulty in getting title to pledged real property. Wan guaranteed titles aud transfers by indorsement farmers would have no difficulty in getting money at regular rates of interest on their real estata Ihe Farmers' Allianco should eucotirag i immigration. dt ought to insist moon hav ing a state land commissioner in each c n gre-iskraal district whose duty It should be to And out what lan Is were for sale and at what prices they could bo obtained. Tnere are many wa vs in w hich such commissioners would help to bring to thestate thrifty white immigrants. Immigrants make the state rich, and the richer the state is tbo lighter the burdens are which good schools, good roads, good asylums and other things neces sary t > an advanced civilization impose up on taxpayers. A c ommissioner of agricul ture at the state capital may do some good in the direction indicated, Dut he cn do so little that it is not possible to see in one gen eration what he does. The farmers’ alliance should encourage the buildiug of railroads by pursuing a liberal policy toward those already built. Railroads are the moans t>y which the re sources of a state are developed. Without th3iu the farmers could make no progress. Their crops would be virtually worthless for want of a market. The favours can do an immense amount of good for themselves and the state if they will but follow the direction waieh th9ir string comm >n sense points out. Let them rely upon themselves, and upon leaders chosen from among them selves, aud Lot upon political hacks whose sole object is to get into office. A Bill to Increase the Revenues. It was understood that the ways and means committee was engaged iu framing a bill to reduce the revenues, and when the McKinley bill was about c mi pie ted I; was announced that it would effect a reduction of about §1i.1,000,000. A treasury expert has gone over the bill very thoroughly, and he gives it as his opinion that it would in crease the revenues abiut #12,003,0).) the first year, and twice that amount the second year. Mr. McKinley has always claimed, since he has been in public life, to know agre.it deal ab out the tariff. If the opinion of the treasury expert is correct, and i; is much more likely to bo than that of any member of the ways and means committee, he knows very little about it. He certainly doesn’t know enough about it to uoso as a tariff expe t. The McKinley bill reduces the revenue from the sugar duty about 823.000,00 J, and inal(F a reduction of a few millions more in the duties of a small number of other ar ticles, but it increases the duties on a great many articles—articles that are needed ii every household. If the bill should become a law it would increase considerably the cost of living. It is quite safe to say that the republicans will be quite sick of their tariff bill before the debate on it in the House has proceeded very far, and if it ever gets out of the com mittee of the whole those who framed it will not bo able to recognize it. The re publicans are doomed to disappointment if they hope to go; any popularity from it. Stanley, the African explorer, entertains feare that Germany will occupy the center of the Soudan country in a short time. He thinks that he could j et conquer Soudau for Eugland if ha had about .£3,010,000. Whither John Bull will sea it a3 be does is rather uncertain. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island became anxious last week and left Washington to be in Providence at the by-election yester day. It is strange that he should, for he is said to have made the statement some time since that “it is no use to tight any longer over Rhode Island, for she is democratic.’* Yesterday Gen. Alger submitted his pres idential qualifications to the inspection of the grand army in St. Louis. The occasion was a grand reception tendered him by the posts of that city. PERSONAL.

Homan is an old friend and next door neighbor to Mr. Blaine, in Augusta, Me., and had greetings and gifts from him on Tues day. when he and hi* wife celebrated their golden wedding. Three ola ladies, the only survivors, with the bride and groom, who at tended the ceremmy a half century ago, were among these who attended the reception. The Empress Eugenie, it is said, is as much of a r ciuse as though she were a nun. All day long she sits in her sunny parlor in a little Lon don house, with a tablet in her lip. sketching or writing for a memorial she is preparing for pub lication. The book wi l contain the letters of the late P.mperor Napoleon and the Prince Im perial. the proceeds trom which wil! go to the fund for the relief of the widows of the war of 1870. George W. Childs denies the recently revived report that lie had left the Episcopal church to become a Catholic. says: ‘ This Is not the first time that such a report has been circu lated. The reason for it l suppose, is that, t have a number of warm Catholic friends, in cluding Mr. Drexel ani Archbishop liyan.

About the £iza of it. From the .Vein York Star (Orin.). That ceiling swindle which, according to ihe republican chairman of the appropriations com niiltee of the assembly of 19SM. made Harrison President, is still a lively subject in law and politics. The facts developed in the trial lief ore ihe court of claims put the whole transactiou in a worse light tuan ever before, black as it has been since the first disclosures. Another Scandal.

Stands on His Own Bottom. From the Boston Herald (Ind. ). Editor Manning, who has just been elected mayor of A lhany by such a thumping big ma jority, is only 36 years old. He is the son of the late Daniel Manning, President Cleveland’s Secretary of the Treasury, and. while he is proud of bis lineage, he insists that he shall not be honored simply as the son of his father. He carries a good supply of brains under his own hat, and proposes to stand or fall on his record. That’s correct. List, maiden, though you're keen of wit, And though of many charms possessed.

Incredible as tbe following may seem. I as' sure you that innumerable witness can be pro duced who will swear to its veracity, says a writer in tbe Lew stou Journal: There is a certain merchant in Anriroscozzin county, doing business at the present time, who in his early days was not noted for the bril liancy of his mind. One day he dropped into the local meat shoo, where the butener was slicing up a recently kii ed ox. He walked; around tbe shop a few times in a pensive mood and then approached tee wielder of the meat chopper and confidently said: *'Sav. Frank, do you kill a whole beef critter at once?” A Pleasant Meeting Samuel L. Clemens—“ Mark Twain”—says Ihe New York Tribune reporter, visited the eapitol one day last week on business connected with the passage of the international copyright bill. He called upon Secretary Anson G. McCook in the course of the afternoon, aud in the secre tary '■ office met Senator George F. Edmunds. “I have never met you before,” said Mr. Ed munds, as be extended his hand, smiling grimly, "but I have read a number of your essays on <-onstitutk>nal questions, and derived a good deal of benefir from them.” "I have read a great mauy of your constitu tional essays," said Mr. Clemens in reply, drawing out his words in that slow tedious fashion which is peculiar to him. and then tie added with an expressive look of pain, "and 1 am aware of It." Wanta to Go to Bangor. Little Johnny W— is 4 years old and for merly lived in Bangor, says the Itewiston Jour nal. His parents uow reside in Augusta. The other day Johnny's natural aptitude for fun and mischief led him to commit some t rifling misde meanor jwbich was promptly rebuked by Ids mother. She dwelt upon ih ? fact of God's see ing us and alwavs knowing what we are doing. Tne idea seemed to impress Johnny forcibly, and for several moments he retr.aiued silent. At last he broke out with: “Say, mother, does God see everything we do here in Augusta?" “Yes," was the solemn reply. “He sees our every act.” Whereupon the young sinner ex claimed: “My goodness, mother: Let's move back to Bangor!” Rather Mixed. Maj. Maginnis, who will be one of the demo cratic senators from Montana, if there are dem ocratic senators, is often seen these days among his old associates on the floor of the House, says the Springfield Reoublicnn. He bears a resem blance to Gen. Corse, 1h * Boston postmaster, which is so striking that the Major says himself that they are "as alike as two twins." Gen. Hawley is one of his friends, and meeting him one day at the cap.tol, he exclaimed: "Why, how are you. Corse? When did you come iu?" The Major drew himself up and said: “My name is Maginnis, Genera 1 .” Gen. Hawley apologized prafusely. and. Uat*r in the day, seeing a familiar figure, marohe I up to it and said: "It’s stran ;e. Maginnis. tiiat I took you for Corse." “But lam Gen. Corse,” was the reply of the hereof Alatoona. who iiad just coma tj town on some postofflee business. Gen. Hawley looks several times before he ventures to call anybody Corse or Maginnis nowadays. An Experience by the Probate Judge Judge C. C. Kohlsaat: My first attempt at public speaking was many years ago in a small school house at Galena. We had organized a debating society. At the proper time during the first performance circumstances seemed to indicate the arrival of my opportunity. lean distinctly remember layinc hold of the old pine school desk with uotti hands and elevating myself to a stan ling p.,sinon 1 use the word “elevating” advisedly. In doing so I rose in the altitude of cold sweats Once on my feet, things took on a marvelous aspect. The w hole surroundings began to waltz around me. There was a siok-iy whirl of faces, desks and floor, like si fantastic merry-go round By dint of perseverance I managed to say a few words, which served to steady the proves sion, if not myself, but found r lief from this g> rating ineutal phenomenon only when 1 dropped exhausted into my seat.
