When a man knows that God is with him it takes a good deal to discourage him. The sun did a good deal of shining before there was any¬ body here to notice it. People who expect to praise God in Heaven ought to begin to do it here on barth. Nowhere in the Bible has God promised to protect anybo¬ dy on the devil’s ground. Being a Christian in earnest means that you have become a brother to every man. The Lord will never be half as hard on the faithful Christian as he is on himself. The man who professes to be a Christian ought to work con¬ tinually at the business.—Kam’s Horn. FONSECA’S FALL. r J he telegrams from Brazil have been reporting that all was quiet, everybody satitfied with the dictatorship, and busi¬ ness being transacted as if nothing had happened. It was only from Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres, hundreds 'of miles away, that disquieting minors of trouble in Brazil could be heard. But the ru¬ mors tarn out to be true and the direct official statements fal-e. Fonseca fol lowed the methods of Balmaeeda and other Si nth American tyrants, seized the.telegraph lines supprersed the circu¬ lation of news as far as possible, and tried to complete Ms revolution without the outside world finding out much about it until his work was finished. The truth came out only when the enemies whom be dec’ari d not 10 exist have triumphed over him. When the mild monarchy cf Dcm Pedro was overthrown and the Brazilian republic proclaimed, there was a consid¬ erable show of reji Ling in this country ‘ but it was felt, nevertheless, that Brazil was ti ying a dangerous experiment. Re¬ publican institut’ans are the highest form of government, but for their suc¬ cessful working they require the intelli¬ gence, patriotism and self-restraint of the highest class of citziens. These Bra¬ zil has not. Iier population is made up mostly of ignorant, uneducated people, with little or no knowledge of their duties as citizens of a republic, and really in¬ capable of wise t elf-government. The educated, intelligent class is very small. There is no step backward in such matters end Brazil will not return to monarchical institutions; but it is proba¬ ble that many years must pass before the new government is consolidated and be¬ comes r eally, in our sense*of the word, a republic. Three revoluiions within a few months have taught the people of Brazil rhatit is easy, by the use of force, to rid themselves Of a government they do not like—that government is a very weak thing. It will he Lard for them to unlearn the lesson, evety and we may expect hereafter for dissatisfied paity to appeal to arms on very s light provoca tio i. The last revolutiou is in the right di¬ rection. The result is the [overthrow ot dictator who had made it plain that he intended to rule the country according to his own will—with a congress, if it would obey liis orders, without one, if he found that necessary. Had he been allowed to remain in power, the country would have taken a long s tep backward from the orderly government and liberal in¬ stitutions of Dorn Pedro’s time, and the development of really republican institu¬ tions delayed for a long time.—Macon T e'.cgraph. The World’s Fair managers are making personal appeals to President Hariisou to casually mention in Lis message $5,000,000 to Congress that the loan of they are asking fer should be promptly granted.

Circumstan ees Warranted It. “I want to ask you advice about a novel I am writting,” she confikently remarked be¬ fore the London Tid Bits, to a bookseller the other day. “I shall be happy to give it.” “The hero of my. story is wounded in batttle and comes home with bis arm in a sling.” “that’s good.” “My heroine meets him with great joy and he clasp)c her in his arms.” “Perfectly proper; I’d do it myself.” “Yes, hut don’t you see that one of his arms is in a sling? How could lie clasp?” “That’s so. And you have decided he must come wound¬ ed?” “He must.” “And she must he clasped?” “She ought to be.” “Yes, that’s so; but you must lookout for the critics. How would it do to have her clasp him?” “Would’t it look immodest?” “Not under the circumstan oesi and you can . add a foot note, that the joy of seeing him car¬ ried her off her balance for a moment. Yes, let her clasp and take the consequences. If you get the right kind of covers on a book you needn’t qkre much about what is inside.” “Very well, my heroine shall clasp; I thank you; good day.” If the Czar adheres to his ukase prohibiting the exporta¬ tion of wheat from Russia it will he a good thing for the United States, as the rest of Europe will have to come here to buy.

Mr. Editor Solid Sobth Conyers: I cannot go about and see and con¬ verse with the people^ I am not sur prised at the people of property and speculrdors opposing the farmers Al¬ liance and their platform, The la boring mass want more money in circulation and better price for their produce and that would gause wage workers to get better prices for their work. Every law that would be good for me and my children will be good for all the people, their platform is right, I meet people that oppose the alliance. I out and condemn them, then they say “I can’t stand Livings ton.” I tell them that I have known Livingston for a long tune and I say that he is right, he is contending for legal and just principles and I shall continue to advocate the principles of the true allianceman. The next com plaint is that the requisitions of the alliance unconstitutional. ‘ I notice are the miner, first he digs the ore and then hasn’t the priviledge to have it coined into money. It is said the government buys the bullion and holds it over. The tobacco I under' stand is put in government ware¬ houses and money advanced on it; al¬ so that whisky is stored and govern¬ ment makes advances on it: I learn that there is a large amount of gov¬ ernment bonds out and the govern¬ ment pays interest on them. I un < derstand these are redeemable in na tional currency. Why not pay them in currency and that would help. The people are the government and when cangress orders currency struck strike enough to handle all the pro¬ duce; aud let it be deposited like other things and thereby enable the people to get better prices for their pi reduce and a more liberal reward for their labor. I hear some say ihat would be unconstituional; if it would all the deposits and advances are wrong. I say the people are the gov¬ ernment and if congress w'cuId pass the law authorizing free coinage and issue money on deposit and control the produce the prices would be bet¬ ter and nobody would.be injured Lut bankers. The wealthy law makers have no mercy on the laboring people. They want them remain poor and de¬ pendent so they can sell to them at usurious per cent aud keep them poor. The government can issue money and furnish it ut a low rate cl interest which would give us high price for produce Farmeae, live cheap, raise corn, grain, and meat and live at home. Let cob on alone and then you will be independent. You may be poor but you will have ycur supplies at home. E. Woolley. When the Rev. Br.

The country has been abun¬ dantly blessed by God for w hich we should feel. Gantt and the Journal are still at if. There is na use trying to down Gantt in a dog fight. The people who have prospered under the present reign of govern, mental affairs should have observed Thursday as thanksgiving, those that have not should observe every day in thanking God for his mercy. It is nothing but right and justice that Mr. Nesbitt should give Mr. J. M. B. Goo le an inspectors place. Campaign promises cannot always be depended on however. If Mr Nesbitt doesn't prove of more benefit to the farmers in the next twelve months than he has in the past twelve we would uot be sur¬ prised to see the next legi-lalure abolish the whole concern, lock stock and barrel!. The Meet : ng of the National coun¬ cil of the Alliance at Indianapolis was one of the most harmonious meetings that body ever had.
