Onrcaeo, Nov. 12.—Services in commem- sration of the anniversary of the death of the five anarchists, Parsons, Spies, Linzg, Fischer and Engel, were heid toda, the monument erected to their memory 1n Wald- heim cemetery. Inspite of a leaden sky, from which a cold rain fell steadily through- out the duy, the services at the graves were attended by nearly 2,500 persons. The occasion was made notable by the fact that Samuel Fielden. Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe, the comrades of the executed anarchists, who were sentenced to Jolict, but pardoned by Governor Aligeld, were present at the grave. Fielden and Schwab were the orators of the day, though it was said Lo be a condition of their rel they should make no more speoches. A procession passed some of the down town streets. ome red flags were carrvied, but each organization carried a floral emblem adorned profusely with red ribbon, upon the stream- ers of which were the usual anarchistic in- seription in German. lumediately follow- g the band at the head of the parade, und just in front of the Women's LaSalle so- were six little girls dressed in red and k, Oneof them carried a large black shield bordered with red, upon which was tho following inscription i silver lotters “November 11-Tyranny—No God; Lord ave."

This advice s, perhaps, foolish and_ imprudent.

Fiolden's Qulet Taik, aid: “You have met to memorate the memory of the men who lio under yonder stone. You have met here to protest against the injustice of their taking off. The world knows that if these men had lived the interests of the capitalistic class, in keeping the workingmin from his own, and in constant subjection and misery, would " have been jeopardized. Today we stand in the faco of u society based not on equal vights for the people, but based on the rights of priviiege, and the ouly thing that gives ns courage is that tiere and there a_man rises up 1 Governor Altgeld, who has the courage of his convictions. These men were men of law and order. They beileved n peace and whatever their opinion of the practical solu- tion of these questions, the predominating thought in the mind of each was for peace, The future will give them justice.

Van Wyck of braska took a short walk in the bright, crisp atmosphere of Washington this afternoon 1 this evening taliced cheerily to Tue B respondent about the result of the ele tions last weel. While tne ex-senator is not 80 energetic physically as he was bafore his recent illness, he bas lost none of his mental vigor. He looks upon the recent republican victory not as the sway of superior issues, but as the result of bad management upon the part of populists and a lack of disposi- tion upon the partof democrats to perma nently dislodge those who bave for many years ruled Nebraska, General Van Wyek believes the populists might have won a sweeping victory in Ne- braska had they been less conceited and dogmatic. He thinks the leadors of thut party have pulled down their temple by bigotry and a failure to take advantage of the misfortunes and party divisions -among the republicans and democrats. He says the populist managers seem tonever ba able to learn anything from publican or demo- tic defeats; that they will insist upon nding by prejudices rather than score victories a little out of the traditional lines. o Severe on the Nebraska Pops. “The populists mean well,” said G Van Wyck, “but too many umprac from all parties went into their ran more unfortunate. many of them control and tried to keep out and cr u who did not swear by their policy. You re- member they wanted reform and denounced every one who didn’t see reform as they did. They wrecked u great movement on the start 1g to do too much. They were deter- 2l to have a subtreasury for agricultural products and proscribed nutional banks and bankers, and even, for a malicious purpose, at an annual convention in Nebraska re: solved that any person owning bank stock, however small, was not eligible to member: ship in the alliance. Can you wonder suo- cess never came while such idiots wore in the saddle? Party despotism was then stronger in the new party than either of the old ones. There were many good mon who 4 a contro sy with v crowd, as ') red they could not touch filth with- out being defiled.” “What about your state judiciary? i BEs man. About the Recent Campaign, “Judge Holcomb,who was nominated,” said General Van Wyck, “‘was a splendid judge, and a man of his ability and fitness would honor any party or any state, and he should have been elected; but the diffculty is the people of Nebraska don't seem to desire any reiorm or protection on the bencn. They did secure, a year ago, some fair play by a maxi- mum rate law, but the corporations worked the courts by mandamus. Then Judge Max- stood between the railroads and the people and he must be destroyed, and, s is too often, the people could be relied on to help them out, and they did; and the blun- ders of the popuhists did not fail them in an emergen: When they should have waited and themselves nominated Judge Maxwell, they showed themselves better patriots by insisting, although Judge Muaxwell was all that could be desived, that they must keep in the middle of the roaa and nominate no one not a professed adherent in good ard regular standing in the party, and thus put rything in peril and defeat.” 7 ‘he democrats ure then on top, they?” “Far from it. The democratic leaders, at least a portion of them, ¢ t be charged 80 much with blundering as with malice aforethought, conspiring with anything and everyuhng 1o accomplish retention of power in the control of corporations, and their only ambition seems to be to have the privilego ;)r being the tail of the republican party’s kite.” neral ables Still umed hoall are Chance for Exporters.

So superior to vhe Lnelish and German groceries are those pro- duced in the United States that the latter countries are continually placing upon their goods the American brand.

The French and Spanish and Italian-speaking people are extremely fus- tidious and they are never so fond of ‘show- ing their fastidiousncss as when they pur- chase an imported article of food. This fact is illustrated in every food article imported into the United Statés from those countrics, The English long since learned this fact, and i ined aua dessicated food articles ave epured with greater care for export into our country than for home consumption.

Whatever coursé the administration may have determined upon to secure the restora tion of the queen, it is very evident Secretary Gresham does not expect extreme measures will have to be resorted to.

Any sort of assurance of Min- ister Willis that the moral infuence of the United States government would be exerted to maintain a stable government by the queen und to restrain it from such vagaries and excesses as that of the constitution sought to be adopted in January last might tempt tke provisional government to step aside and trust the United States to brotecy its interests in its own wa This is wi Presidgent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham hope for, though what assutances they have authorized the minister to give as to future influence by this government in the islands is now not known.

The best thing thav could happen to the Americans who go down would be 10 be blown to atoms by the torpedoes of Mello at once. It is hardly probable, howevyer, that any such good fortune shall befall them, for it hus been clearly shown that the Brazilians can keep up a fire at one another day after day for weeks at a time and only by the merest accident do they ever do any damage. In my opinion three or four hundred trained aud courageous Americans could go down to Brazl and capture,not only one side, but both sides taking part in this onflict. The Americans _ will go ine for business, while Me Brazil- ians on their = side will probably wage their customary sleepy and bloodless warfare.

Therein lics the cause of the whole present trouble, and it really will not matter very much to the republic of Brazil u8 to which side might win the day in the present struggle. Peixoto s undoubtedly an autocratic tyrant who would not bo competent as the executive of a moribind village in any other country thau Brazil.

The only hope for the is in the ascendency of some man who sicceeds in forcing himself to the front by virtue of pure patriotism and era of politi sform and purifi the republic of Brazil. The old emporor, Dom Pedro, was known to by a republican at heart, and it was undoubtedly his inte tion to bring to the frout the bost men in the country, so thot the republic could be started auspiciously. I'he most corrupt eloment among tho politicians of Brazil, howover, prevented the realization of the honest intentions and desives of this noble ruler. Since that time capable and honest men have stood no show in the councils of the country. It has simply been a fight between the army and navy. Barbosa and nis crowd of politicians were with the army as long as that side had loeway to create new money and grab everything in sight. Now that their littio game is at an end and Mayrincii has been placed in a mad house, while the others are in jail, they have gone over to the navy.

They are probably urged by a delusive hopo of finally settling in the country and having a better chance than at home. The opportunitics there are, they will find out, by no means commensurate with the risk whichi they are running, while there is more competition in that country between oright, active young men from all parts of the world than can be found anywhere in the United States. Any man who has not sufficient in telligence to make his way here at home certainly can never succeed in accomplish- ing anything in Brazil.

I hope that all the good men who are going on this expedition will become informed of what is ahead of them and fully realizo all the terrible risks they are going to take be- fore engagivg on & thankless task, Their only reward, even if successiul in getting there, would be a disillusion and disappoint- ment of their hopos.” PURCHAS D BY PEIXOTO, o Boats Secured in Europe for Brazil's Navy. {Copyrightea 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.| Loxvoy, Nov. 12.-[New Yofic Herald Cable —Special to Tue Ber.|—I am enabled 1o state positively that President Peixoto of Bram is not trusting the United States alone to supply bim with a navy. A bargain was concluded yesterday whereby the Brazilian government became practically possessed of miue torpedo boats, built by a leading continental firm, These are guaranteed to stcam twenty- eight knots an hour, and are to be des immediately. As soon as these negotiations were known to be on foot, two governments made efforts to secure the boats ahe Brazil, but were too late. While it is undoubtedly true that Mello is also trying to add cruisers and torpedo boats 10 his fleet, as stated recently, a dificulty is likely to arise in regard to payment therefor, even if thew departure from ueutral poris be allowed.
