Pedro II is one which merils the fullest and most Whether one approves cordial approval. his government, or not, the simple fact remains that he gave the whole ofa long lile to thal service and lhat he never laid aside íor himself one mureis ofall the sums paid to him as the executive head of lhe naIt is known to everybody lhat his tion. heart and purse were always open lo every tale ol distress and to every appeal for charity, and it i.s eqüally well known that the greater part ol" his salary was paid out for charitable objecls. The young men whom he ediicated and protected, the widows anil orphans whom he supportcd, the churches and schools which lived upon his bounty, are not to be numbered by the tens, but by the hundreds. He was a father and benefactor to his people in the broadest and best sense of the term, for he impoverished himself in their behalf, even when they were unworthv of his interest. We do not dispute that íie was not a wi.se ruler and we do not deny the evils and errors which his reign brought upon the country, but we do deny most emphatically that he was wholly responsible for them. He was the result of a bad system of government which was voluntarily and deliberately adopted by the Hrazilian people themselves, but he has been almost uniformly in advance of those who educated and supportcd him, and who as legislators and ministers had the power to correct abuses and execute refoims. Whatever of corruption and repression has existed in Brazil during the years of his reign is to be charged to the account of lhe statesmen o( the country, and not to the Emperor. It is just and honorable therefore to place an allowaiice at his disposal that will not only relieve his closing days from want and anxiety, but which will be a proper and generous exol esteem anc? sympathy. pression public Xo oflicial in this country'theis deprived of líis ¦pension, or annuity, at end of a long It should peiiod oí honest public service. be borne in mind. therefore, that D.

January 27th, 189-1.] highest ofiicials in the Brazilián public service, and is just as fully entitled to the grateful protection in his old age of those whom he has so long served, as is the humblest door-keeper who now retires upon a pension. It is to-be registered, with undisguised satisfaction, that the constitution has been at last voted in first reading, and also that it is announced that the final vote will be taken before the month closes. We are not at ali certain that some of tlie provisions adopted will prove successful in practice, but in view of the dangers arising from a longer continuation of this abnormal state of affairs and of the possibility that further opportunity might develop even worse absurclities, we can not help considering it best to adopt the document at once, mistakes and ali. It is gratifying, however, to note that the impracticable creatjpri oí the American constitution for the indirect election of the President, has been changed for the simpler method of direct popular election. The reduetion of the pfesideritial term to four years, however, is not easily approved, for it is evident that these elections will be so serious a source of disturbance in the future that it might be an advantage to hold them less frequently. One act of the Constituinte, however, deserves unstinted praise—that in which it refused to give coristi tu tional sanetion to ali the acts of the provisional government. It would have been a standing disgrace to Brazil had its fundamental law sançtiõned and approved the scandaípus acts of the past year in which the whole country almost has been sold out to speculators and lavoriles of certain ministers. No one can be oblivious to the fact that Brazil has been brought almost to the verge of bankruptcy by the policy foilowed by the ministcr of finance, and tflat her resources have been wasted and mortgaged to an enormous extent by the privileges granted so lavishly by lhe minister of agriculture. lt would bc the crowning disgrace were the represcnuuivcs of the people to deliberately lie lheir own hands in face ofall these abuses and shameful jobberies. 3 THE RIO have created a horde of speculators to prey upon us, such as the country never before has known, and they have wasted the revênues of the state and squandered the public patrimony with a recklessness never before surpassed in any country. No one at this moment knows for how much the country is pledged, and no one knows how shamelessly the people have been robbed. In view of ali this, there are no regrets wasted over the change ; the only one is the whispereci regret that there is not courage and strength enough to make the change more sweeping and complete than it is. Some weeks ago the people of the United States were surprised by another one of those magnificent bequests to educational institutions which have done so much toward the development of education in that country. This gift amounted to an aggregate of $2,100,000, divided among several leading institutions of learning, and was made by an obscuro New York leather merchant named Daniel D. Fayerweather. He was a quiet unpretentious business man, whose integrity and good character were known among his business associates, but who had never occupied any public position, nor taken any prominent part in any philanthropical work. His intentions were therefore wholly unknown to the public, and it was only when his will was opened that his munificent gifts to education were known. These continuous gifts to institutions of learning in the United States are without parallel in the history of the world, and they exhibit a quality of public spirit and foresight which is equally rare. In a country whose administration and progress çlepends so largely upon the intclligencc and training of its people, education of a high order is -absolutely indispensible, and it is therefore an act of the highest patriotism in any cilizen to employ his time and money in promoting education. In view of the ambition of many Brazilians to organize their government according to the American republican model, we can not do better than to recommend the adoption also of American educational ideas. Instead of leaving the initiative to the government, the people should proceed to organize and manage schools of their own, which shall süpplemènt the public schools and afford an education which it is now impôssible to obtain. At the present moment Brazil does not possess one single university, nor one single college of a high class, outside of the profcssional schools, nor one single high-class seminary, or college, for There are a number of private girls. schools which are doing good work, but lacking endowments they are unable to dévelope into institutions of the grade required. In view of this great need, why is it nol possible to secure the endowment of some good college, which shall be absolutely free from the blighting control ofthe government ? And why may not capitalists leave their forlunes to such institutions? There is enough wealth surely, and we have no doubt but what there is enough of the right kind of patriotism. lf Brazil is to be a successful republic. there must be an immen.se amount of educational work done, and it is none too early for a beginning. Thk principal event of political importance during the past week, was the resignation of the provisional ministry, and the selection of a suecessor—ali after the most approved methods employed by thc late Brazilián monarchical government. The declared cause was the ré fusa) of the ministry to concede an interest guarantee on the capital to bc employed in thc construction of a new port at Torres, Rio Grande do Sul, which Gen. Deodoro considers necessary for strategic purposes ; but it is evident that this is only a pretext. The ministers have not been in entire harmony with the chief of state for a long time, and other reasons must therefore be sought for their withdrawal just on the eve of a change under the constitution. Still further, after ali the shameful monopolies and extravagant favors granted by thc ministers of finance and agriculture, it is asking of us thc impossible to believe that the ministry could now refüse ünc guarantee more, preferring resignation rather than grant it !

Glicetto: We have agreed, without doubt, not to grant further interest guarantees to any enterprise without nutliority from Congress. The question ofthe "Porto das Torres," however, I can not consider as comprehended in this deliberation, not only because it is a question aiready studied, but also because I have spoken to Y. Ex. regarding it on various oceasions. 1 consider the opening of this port, and its connection wilh Porto Alegre by a railway, a question of the highest importance and of great nàtional interest, as much for commerce, which can not and must not remain at the mercy of the caprices of tlie Rio Grande bar, as a result of the demands for the defense of our frontier, and as a guarantee for the lives and property of our fellow countrymen and other inhabitants, in the event of a foreign aggression; an aggression which we are powerless to avoid or prevent, except by disposing, beyond the force necessary for a repulse, of ready, rapid and safe means of locomotion and transport. If clear and cloudless appear the inlernational and political horizons ; il the financial embarrassments and disadvantageous domestic condition of our soulhern neiglibo.rs prevent them just now from entertaining bellicose dreams of the domination of the continent, such a state of affairs will not last forever; it is also possible that not always will they have well direcled governments, and such as will understand lhat good neighborly relations are a necessary condition of progress and their own importance. Foresight and prudence will never be excessive i.n questions of such magnitude, principally when in endeavoring to meet these, at the same time the material improvement of lhe country is promoted by the construction oí a railway which will pass through a region of the greatest fertility and which enjoys a climate eminently appropriate for European immigration. I assume lhe responsibility, fully, entirely and completely, for tlie act. I therefore request that you will have drawn up the decree granting an interest guarantee to the " Porto das Torres " enterprise, even because, beyond lhe reasons l have expounded, it may be added that the opening oí this port will furnish to navigation a reluge and a shelter—open, safe and of easy access—between Desterro and Montevideo, to vessels ot any drauglit. So long ago as 1S75, when commander of the frontier from Quarahy to Livramento, in a report submitted upon the various frontiérs of Rio Grande do Sul, I begged the attention of tlie government to the "Porto das Torres," the only protection against an invasion, by the frontier oí Chuy, oj the city oí Rio Grande; which was much applauded by the inhabitants ot Jaguarão, Chuy, Rio Grande, Pelotas and Bagé. Only those who are jgnorant of the Chuy frontier, and of the city of Rio Grande, can doubt the iniportaiice of the "Porto das Torres" in relation to the defense of this state. Capitrl, December 271b, 1S90. of the Minister of Agriculture. Rio de Janeiro, 3ist December, 1890. Gcneial-in-chhf: I proceed to furnish you with a reply to, and in compliance with, your letter dated on tlie 27U1 inst. The evening before ycsterday at a meeting at the department of agriculture, our colleagues of finance, public instruction and war being absent, the ministry decided to submit to you that* under present circumstances, lhe granting of an interest "Porto guarantee to the railway projected between das Torres" and Porto Alegre does not appear to be justifiable. For my part, I must remind you that I always opposed this interest guarantee, both as to lhe said railway and as to the very works in the port. And, during my temporaiy absence from the government, this concession was made to Dr. Trajano de Medeiros and others, with other íavors, except that of an interest guarantee. On arriving from Sâo Paulo, I complained even so against the concession, as to that part referring to the railway, for it seeined to me that under the conditions of the decree of June 26U1, 1S90, it should have been granted by the governor of lhe state of Rio Grande do Sul. V. Ex., however, convinced me of the contrary, in explaining to me that the road serving strategical purposes, was within the clauses of the said decreo, within the prerogative of the Union. So iu this manner was granted lhe concession, without guarantee of interest, as to which there was never mention made. I am perfectly acquaiuted with the situation of Rio Grande do Sul, so far as regards its ports and railways, from an economic and strategica] point oí view, and I assine you thal the refusal of this interest guarantee will 111 no manner prejudice them. So many are the proofs of personal consideration and administrative confidence that you, Generalin-clnef, have shown me, that I periuit myself to speak to you with this frankness, which is nothing more than the fi iendship 1 dedica te lo you, in accordance with my senttments as regards the quêstion now Occupying our attention. 1 have delayed in thus replytng to you, for I was desitous of hearing upon the subject thc opinion of our colleague of finance, who has also decided iu lhe same manner. I ain, as always, with the highest consideration and sincere esteem, lhe friend, colleague and suppoi ter of Your Kxcellency, Erancisco Glicciio. Caüinet By the concession of the railway and port "das Torres" it is not only sought to furnish an outlet for the prodttce for that part of the northern region of the state served by it, nor to endow our coast with a safe and easily accessible refuge between Montevideo and Desterro, and in this manner, perhaps, avoid the repelition of a marine disaster such as the catastrophe occurred with the packet Rio Apa; incontestable demands for defense, and, perhaps, for the nationalintegrity, are at the same time consulted. With the exception of the projected railway from Itararé to Santa Maria da Boca do Monte, and that of the "Porto das Torres," none of the Rio Grande do Sul railways merit, with strictness, the classification of strategic ; none of them satisfy so thoroughly, as those I have just mentioned, the demands for the defense and the integrity of tbe country in emergencies which may be unfavorable, or contrary to us. It is sufficient for Y. Ex. to consider that prepartions skilfully disguised, followed by the rapid invasion over the Chuy frontier, may cause to fali into the possession of the enemy in the case of a war with the Orientai State, in alliance with the Argentine Republic, the city of Rio Grande; this result secured, with a few field guns, the enemy would render absolutely impossible the service of Under such the pilotage and buoying ofthe bar. conditions how could the state be suecoured? The railways of the north and south of Rio Grande are of great military importance under the condition of having free, safe and rapid communication between it and the other states of the republie and with lhe federal capital, and when, beyond this, in case of war with the Argentine Republic, the Oriental State not only maintains neutrality, but has the force to preserve and guarantee this neutrality. The concession now in question obviates ali this— remedies everylhing. Only one arguinent can be presented against the request for lhe interest guarantee: the resulting increase of expense, the financial situation. Happily this is neither so etnbarrassed that it cannot support this ônus, nor even within the limits of our present budget is il diflicult to find means for meeting this burden, ií perchance as a burden can be classified an expenditure more than amply compensated for in the important demands which it meeis and satisfies. There is still under consideration a decree, sent by Y. Ex., by which there is exténded for six months the time marked to Haupt & Co. for the building of 12 central factories and 4 sugar refmeries, which enjoy the interest guarantee of 6 per cent. upon a capital of 9,750,000$. It would suffice to cancel this concession, together with ali those which have failed in complying with contracts made by not organizing in due season, and resources will be found lo guarantee 6 per cent. interest on 30,000$ per kilometre, for a railway of over 300 kilonietres, and this only by the cancelling of the Haupt contract. I will go further, my illustrious colleague. With my usual sincerity and frankness, l declare that, if for the concession of an interest guarantee to the "Porto das Torres" enterprise it were necessary to annul ali the interest guarantees lhat have been granted under our government to whatsoever enterprises, I should not hesitate an instant in advising such action, excepting from it only the two railways, whose construction interests to the highest degrée the integrity of lhe country, and which are those that are directed from Itararé to Santa Maria, and that which advancés towards Matto Grosso ; conscious that in thus acting 1 should execute a patriòtic deed. Send me, therefore, the decree of thc concession of the interest guarantee to the "Porlo das Torres" enterprise. Health and fraternity. January 2nd, 1S91. Cabinet1 of the Minister of Agriculture, Rio de Janeiro, January 51b, 1S91. Dear Maishal: I have your very valued letter dated on the 2nd inst. I have retlected much before giving you the present reply, and in this manner is explained the delay which you must have noticed. I continue to think that we should not grant an interest guarantee to the railway from "Porto das Torres" to Porto Alegre. I ííave again consulted my colleagues, and they are of the same opinion. Decrees are being drawn up which grant lhe railways of lhe general system, Madeira and Mamoré, S. Francisco and Assuraptão, Manaós and S. Joaquim, and others oí great importance ; to none of these have been conceded interest guarantees. The grantees will probably apply lo the ordinary legislative body to solicit this guarantee. Not being desirous, however, of creating obstacles for you, I tender you my resignation as the only solution which at the moment is suggested by prudence and patriotism. You can grani it to me without reluetance. Within a few days you will be elected conslitutional President ol the republic, and will then have to form a new ministry. Antieipate then, as regards me, this formality, and count upon me as your personal friend, as your political ally, and even as your administrative assistant. whenever you may have need of my services. Take ijole, I tender you my resignation, but I remain your sincere, loyal, atui disiulerested political ally. Send your orders to your friend and afíectionate colleague, Erancisco Glicerio.

DEPARTURES There appears to have been a satisfactory business doing the past week, except in flour. The steady depreciation in the value of the Brazilian currency has caused a sharp advance in foreign flour, and the local mills have advanced their prices in accordance with the higher ideas of importers. A printed report of the meeting of the shareholdérs of the Rio Flour Mills and Granaries, held in London on December 3oth last, does not appear encouraging for millers in Brazil, but it was stated at the meeting that it was thought thc corner had been turned; a debit balance of nearly ,£12,000 in profit and loss account, and a loss in exchange of £30,962 would seem to render necessary the turn of the corner. And as to this question of native flour we can not conceal our surprisé that the Jornal do Commercio in its annual report declares that the enormous quantities of 325,314 brls. produced by the Rio Flour Mills, and 216,830 brls. turned out by the Moinho Fluminense, should be added to the importation of foreign flour here to show consumption. Our colleague must be aware that both of these mills have shippcd their produce north and south, and that their influence is not nearly so great in Rio as in the coast markets formerly in part served by Rio dealers, who do not altogether appreciate the redtiction of their trade. A cargo of Pitch pine has arrived to a dealer, and also a cargo of Swedish on order. Thc markets on the spot appear to be fairly well maintained. Kciosene is rather higher again and firm, and Lard also has smartly advanced. Rice is 500 rs. per bag dearer, and tencls upwards. The stock of Codfish has been further reduced, and with the advance in the price of jerked-beef—-its great competitor—dealers have advanced thcir quotations, and report the market tending to higher prices. Indian corn is also dearer. The decline in exchange has produced the increased prices for ali articles of necessary consumption that we import. Importers can not ignore that the value ofthe Brazilian currency may become still further depreciated, and the constiiner must prepare to pay higher prices for every article imported, and pari-passit for those of domestic produetion. Flour.—Receipts since our last report have been :— White Wittgs, from Baltimore 6,450 brls. Salerno, from the United States 460 „ Thames, 1,540 „ Sales and withdrawals for thc same time have been small, and stocks in first hands are estimated to be :— 13,500 brls. 1,500 ,, American Trieste 15,000 brls.

Market Report, dated December 31 ,v/.Since our last report a few saladcro establishments have cnmnienced working and up to date about 6,000 head of cattle have been killed, against 3,000 last year and 45,000 in t888, for tlie same time. Tn thc interior cattle are reported to be scarce and in poor condition, and we therclore do not think tbat kií|. ings will be carried-on 011 a fair scalc before thc middlé of next inotith. Hides.—In salted no transactions have taken place, nor have prices yet been eslablished, Dry hides suitable for thc United States have continued ncglected for that dcstiuatioii and business during thc month has again been restricted to sales for Hamburg, at thc parity of 11 _d stg. per kilo. cost Steamer freight and commission, at which quotation there still appear lo bc buyers. Heavy dry hides of narrow and natural stakc, suilablc for Hamburg, are in demand at equal to \-iiVnd stg. per kilo. f. o. b. with steamcr freight and commission, while those of Inoad stake are very much souglU after for tlie Mediterranean at thc parity of 15"^ — 16<-/ stg. per kilo. Kips are worth about 480—540 rs. per kilo according to quality. Receipls of hides from the interior have been rcninrk.-ibly small (or this time of year, and disposablc stocks in the hands of barra queiras are now very much reduced and dò not exceed about 1 s,ooo hides of ali descriptions. II0RSKIIAIR— Has continued in very brisk demand and prices have further advanced, in thc same proportion as our rales of exchange have declined.
