' ' THE PHTSBTTRG DISPATCH. MONDAY 1TOYEMBER 9, 1891 ' - "5" Jg JOHS BULKS WIRES, Both Literally and Figuratively the Cause of Brazil's Trouble. FINANCES AND TELEGRAPHS Manipnlaied For the Benefit of the British Capitalists. I3IJirXET PAXGER OF BLOODSIIER rritov a !TFr o;nRsspnTt)KNT.i WASHiNOTOy, "ov. 8. "The dispatches from Rio Janeiro via London regarding another revolution in Brazil should be well shaken and properly seasoned betore being swallowed by our people," remarked Major J. O. Kerbev, recently the United Siatcs Consul at the mouth of the Amazon; and about whom.it will be recalled, the Kio Government officially protested to the Pres ident on account of the publication in Tun Pisr.vrcH of a series of letters, some of which contained critical comment on the new Republic which foreshadowed this later South American evolution. "The history of the new Republic of Bra zil may be told in one sentence," continued the Major. '"In the last days of the Em pire under the reign of l)am Pedro II., the Brazilian reis, which is the currency of the realm, was equivalent to 51 cents gold, its par; after 18 months of Republican 'dicta torship the same milreis is worth about 33 cents. 'These are the undisputed facts and fig ure, which speak volumes. Columns have been printed and voluminous official reports circulated, partly by the Bureau of Amer ican Republics, which are calculated to ac count ior or explain to outsiders this steady decline in the new Republic's finances. All Interested in Exchange. "As the United States Consul at Para, during the past year, and as an old news paper fiend, with only the bald reputation of being a keen observer, I was kept in a continual sweat, in that perspiring latitude, by attempting to keep the Government posted on the probable causes for this fall inj barometer, which teems to portend a financial cvclone as well as to indicate lurther political evolutions. "The first clance at a morning Portuguese paper i. to the commercial column, which prints the closing quotation of the previous iav: when two friends meet in the street they discuss in the hot sun, under their um brellas, the all important question of 'ex eliarge. "We get 'exchange' in pounds, shillings and pence for breakfast and din ner, and after dark the flubs gamble on the urobable rate of exchange of the following da'-. "The remarkable feature to a stranser is that all this 'exchange is posted thrbugh the English banks, whieh receive their in structions oier telegraph wiles owned and controlled by English capital in Loudon, end everybody seems to accept, without question, the quotations that come up from headquarters in this manner. A Censorship of Telegrams. "Precisely the same conditions exist in regard to the transmission of any political intelligence over the telegraphs ow ned and controlled by English officials and those under the control of the Brazilian Govern ment all subjected to official censorship,no cipher dispatches being transmitted. In a tense England has a mortracc on Brazil.the conditions being similar to those of Chile. "Brazilian politics are even more incom prehensible than are the finances of the Iw Republic. "When a physician visits a patient his first move is a quiet reach for the pulse; with watch in hand, he intently counts the beats, paying but little attention to the rambling talk" or, perhaps, the be seeching and imploring glance of the silk person. So it is with the sick nations, which require the sen ices of a doctor, the phrsician is the capitalist who examines the pulse, which is likened to the exchange, or gold rate, and makes his recommendation or writes his prescriptions according to the healthtulness of the body politic as indi cated by this exchange pulsation. "An American visitor who may under take to gain information from an intelligent Brazilian may be apt to conclude that the tflairs of State are still very much mixed, and the farther he pursues his investigation the more fully convinced he will become that the masses of the people have no proper conception of the importance to each citizen of ttie change from an empire to a republi can form of government. The usual com ment is that the native population are habitually indifferent' to all such matters. Mt personal observation led me to the opinion that it is not so much a question of inainerence as ot arrant stupidity. Caasoil hy the Climate. "Unquestionably to the terrible climate under the equator must be chargeable much of this iuhercnt weakness of the population that are born and raised under its depress ing influence. The leading spirits are cither aliens or natives who have been edu cated abroad. The Brazilian of tiie Amazon "Valley of mature years acts in im portant business or political matters in a manner that leads the Anglo-Saxon to think that the brain has not de eloped with the growth of the body they frequently con duct crave aflairs after the manner of boys. Haiiig been so long accustomed to the paternal form of government, as yet the masses are practically incapable of self-government. "The natural consequence is that the 'Republic is in the hands of a few a very few of the leading minds, who manage anil control almost everything pertaining thereto. "Whct!r these leaders are the un scrupulous and scheming men, as charged by their enemies, remains to be developed. Really there are no politics in Brazil to speak of. There are no organized parties as with us, simply because there are no issues at stake, except, perhaps, that of the cleri cal party, which is quite insignificant in numbers and influence. "It is a remarkable truth, however, that although a Catholic country, but few of the voters (who admit their "Catholicism) are friendly to the church party. That part of the Republican Constitution which sepa rates the Church and "State is the most popular with the people. It would be safe to say that the members cf the partr at present in power are altogether Catholics, and those of the opposition are of the same creed. Therefore, there being no question of tariff, civil service reform, etc., it resolves itself to the single issue of "Ins" and "Outs." The party crv of the "Outs" is that the "Ins" are robbers. ' It is the same old South American story that the liarty in power make the most ot their op portunity to collect the enormous import and export revenues, a greater percentage of which it is charged is being regularly invested in European securities, with a view to such future contingencies as these dispatches indicate. A Xtevolnticm by the Arm-. "It is well known that the 'revolution' which overthrew Dom Pedro IL did not come from or through the people, but was conceived and executed by the army, the ponulace fullv rivins its adherence to the new order of things. This placed General Btodora Fonseca, of the Brazilian Army, at the head of the new Government as Mili tary Dictator tor a probatiouary period of one year, during which time elections were ordered and all the preliminary formulas promulgated, Constitutions adopted and other necessary steps taken to put the new Republic on a solid basis. "General Fonseca was elected President, not by the people, but by the newly organ ired Congress at Para. I learned while in London recently that the Rothschilds de clined a proposed Brazilian loan, because General lonseca obstinately persisted in re maining at the head of the Government, de clining to give the opposition any opportu niiy whatever. The Governors of the dif ferent States were likewise chosen by the various State Legislatures, which were elected by the people. It will be seen, therefore, that their Constitution is not modeled after our own, as has been gener ally represented; though it is claimed that subsequent-elections for the executive offi cials will be by the vote of the people. "I do not apprehend any serious revolt in Brazil. They are not a fighting people, but most wonderful talkers, andnow that they have an opportunity in their Congress halls for ventilating their peculiar ideas of Re publicanism, it will end in a war of words, and after this relief through the Congress ional safety valve, they will all again quietly accept the situation and subside. But it will take a book to tell all I think that I know about Brazil, and I expect to have a book on that subject in print at no distant day." It will be remembered that Major Kerbey is an old Pittsburger.who owed his appoint ment as Consul at Para to his having been a schoolmate of Hon. John Dalzell. He would prohablv have been yet in that equatorial city had he not seen so much to cricise and make sport of, and found it im possible to refrain from making the most of the opportunity. E. W. L.

Backus, a young man interested in the Little Nug get mines near Denver, Col., last night. He stopped over last Sunday in Pittsburg on his way to 2"ew York, and being of a wild "Western spirit concluded to go out after d3rk and enjoy himself as best he could. Being accustomed to the Sunday night openness of free and easy resorts so com mon in Denver, he started out expecting to enjoy himself listening to an alleged sacred concert, and putting away copious quanti ties of liquid refreshments. In this he was disappointed, however, for he soon discov ered that the rigid laws on Sunday closing handicapped him considerably and it was even betting he would not get a drink at all. In his wauderings he met a gentleman whom he asked if he could direct him to some locality or place where a drink of the Teutonic beverage could be obtained. "Cer tainly," said the affable fellow. "I am just going for an satisfying draught my self." Afraid He Was Being Bunkoed. The newly-made friend was well dressed and seemingly well acquainted with the city. He was a good tilker. and his con versation was on subjects of general inter est, such as manufactures and the large re sources which Pittsburg had for improving itself. He deplored the fact that its Sun days were so uninviting to the stranger within its gates and bitterly denounced the Law and Order Society. Mr. Backus was not an unsophisticated "Westerner, and took pains to watch his new acquaintance for fear he would give him a wrong "steer," in the parlance of the bunko man. The Pittsburger had plenty of money and spent it freely when a "speak-easy" was reached. Mr. Backus didn't know the loca tion, but said it was near the Monongahcla river. His description of it agrees with a well-known resort in the First ward which is frequented very liberally by a good class of people on Sunday night The two sat and sipped beer until about 12 o'clock, when the "Westerner proposed, in return for the Pittsbnrger's kindness, that they go and get a bite of lunch. The invitation was readily accepted by the new, accommodating friend. They went to an all-night house on "Wood street, where they satisfied their appetites. After finishing, Mr. Backus said he guessed he would go to his hotel the Schlosser. The two walked slowly down Fifth avenue, when the stranger, who had before made himself so agreeable, stopped several times before big business houses and looked care fully at the windows, doors, etc. He told Mr. Backus how easy it would be to enter any of the houses which ran through from Fifth avenue to Virgin alley. The "Westerner didn't pay much attention to his companion's observa tion, but the latter preesed the subject, and quietly sounded Mr. Bakns as to his stam ina and nerve; if he would assist him in a "job ana share in the plunder and respon sibility. This question rather startled the young man from Denver, who now realized lie was in company with a desperate crook. He had good "Western courage, and was not afraid of any personal injury, but the fact of his being seen with the possible criminal disturbed him quite a little. He laughed the man's proposition off as a joke, but in wardly felt is as a serious matter. He hastily bid his new companion good night, after thanking for his attention and kind ness dnring the evening, and went into the hotel office, requesting of Clerk Statler his room key. Bonnd to Be Snre of an Alibi. He started to go up stairs, but hesitated. He was agitated about his night's experi ence, and more particularly the strange end ing of the night's adventure. Visions of burglaries, safes blown open, detectives, prison cells and other disagree able things flitted through his mind. He thought to himself "if that two-faced devil goes and commits some "job" to-night and is arrested, it is a moral certainty that I will be arrested as an accomplice, having been seen with him all evening, and by men who are of a sporting character. There would be nf redeeming evidence for me." It was now nearly 1 o'clock in the morning. The city was aft quiet except from the rattling noise of the heavy street sweepers. He starts out determined to get proof to clear himself if any store was robbed that night, and his new friend arrested for the crime. He went back to the restaurant where a. number of newspaper men were gathered eating theirafter-labor lunch. He made himself very conspicious, and talked with the proprietor until broad day light "It was a long night's talk," said Mr. Backus, "but I was bound to prove an alibi by that restiuront keeper if any Ques tion ever came up regarding me in connec tion with that sleek gentleman's record for that one night I have been keening the experience to myself, not intending to divulge it, but I tell it to you just to show how a man may be thrown against circum stances in the daily walks of life which might land him behind the bars. The chances are many innocent people are con victed on less circumstantial evidence than that I have just related." Mr. Backus went to New York last night on the fast line. It is said there are a few crooks in town, and it has only been a night or so ago when a burglar alarm was sent in to the police from a very prominent wholesale jewelry house on Fifth avenue.
