MEssRs. Charles l.. Ewing, William
s. Clagett, Geo. B. Gordon, VIM. A.
Redd, and Frank Trigg were in Jeffer-
son City last Monday morning to APP
pear before Gov. Francis in the matter
OF the appointment to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Clifton
b Daniel, Esq. Messrs. Shewalter,
King, Heathman and Qusrles were
also present. as friends of the above
named gentlemen. Gov. Francis list
ened to the statements of all who
desired to speak, and then took the
matter under advisement until the
afternoon, when he appointed Mr..
Trigg. Mr.. Trigg was for three terms
circuit clerk of the county, and was
the deputy of the deceased clerk,
While the other gentlemen are worthy
and good men and staunch democrats
Mr.. Trigg's application for the unex'
pired term was sustained by the fact
that he is familiar with the duties oil
the office and with the business OF Mr.,
Daniel, which is somewhat connected
Herewith. He was strongly recon-
mended by the circuit and criminal
Judges of the court OF which he will be
the clerk, by "a out of the q or e
members of the bar, and by MIR. Dan
iei's bondsmen, who are peculiarly
interested in the settlement of the af
fairs OF the office as Mr.. Daniel was
physically incapacitated from attending
to his duties for over a year before his
death. Gov. Francis selection wal
further facilitated by the fact that botl
Messrs. Gordon and Ewing advocated
Mr.. Trigg's appointment as giving ne
candidate for the election All advantage
over another, and Mr.. Trigg making
the assurance that he would not be s
candidate for election, either directly
or indirectly.

j. WEST GOODWIN.

Every newspaper man in Missouri
Knows j. West Goodwin.
While many of them may at times
have differed from him, still there are
few men in the state who have more
warm friends than the odd and eccen-
trio editor OF the Sedalia Bazoo.
One thing all must concede, and that
Is, he treads no beaten paths; that he
has been content to be a mere
copyist aud imltator. Full of energy
and life he has done as much physical
work as a master printer as any man IN
the west, and could be looked for in
every contest for printing that took
place anywhere in his neck % the
woods.
But, alas, poor fellow, for a year or
two past his health has failed him
until now we are called on to symps
thize with HIM in a most trying time.
Last Tuesday DIR. Gregory, of st.
Louis, at the Mulanphy hospital, per-
formed on him a serious surgical oper-
alton, as TO the effects of which we are
not at this writing definitely informed
Let us hope that it may have happy
results; that renewed health may come
from it, and that soon again we may
see the familiar old white hat, the ban.
dana handkerchief and the striped suit
accompanied by the cheerful and quiz
zical grin which has so often greeted
US.
II is such incidents as these that
..giye us pause" as we hurry through
INC affairs, the schemes, the plans and
the ambitions of life. Only a few years
ago and how many were here who are
here no longer. There were Williams,
and Anderson, and Barrett and SO
many others. We have enjoyed their
fellowship, they lived, they died.
They were here, they are there. AT
least when each has passed away we
have been able to say, "He loved his
fellow men" and we have searched for
no higher praise.
In this instance let us hope that our
brother of the guild will soon recover
from his ailment, and be given back to
us for new years of effort, OF usefulness

THE most remarkable revolution OF
either ancient or modern times has just
taken place in Brazil, where in one
day. without the splitting of n drop
oil blood, without the loss OF a life, en-
empire is changed into a republic, an
emperor Is deposed, and q full. iedged,
respectable and respected provisional
government is established. Two weeks
ago we had the Empire of Brazil; TO-
day we have the United States of Bra
I'll, The new republic Is scknowl.
edged in every province, a new flag
has been adopted, and the old emperor,
Dom Pedro, has sailed for Portugal,
where as a douceur for his loss OF
power he will receive S2,500,000 in
cash and an annuity OF $3.50, 900. The
emperor has been a good friend TO Bra.
zil, and all acknowledge this. The re.
publican manifesto was in these words:
"The people, the army and navy, and
the PROVINCES, have now decreed tie
fall of the imperial dynasty and the
suppression of the monarchical system.
This patriotic revolution has been fol.
lowed by the formulation of q provis-
ional government whose duty is to
guarantee order and the rights of the
city. The naming of this government,
until a definite government has been
named, has been made with full regard
TO the most competent material. The
government is simply composed OF
temporary agents who will govern ard
maintain peace, liberty, fraternity and
order. The provisional government
promises to use all means in lis power
to guarantee security of life and prop
erty TO all the inhabitants of Brazil,
native and foreign, and respect for. in
dividual political opinions excepting
the exigent notifications necessary for
the good of the country. The army
and navy, the ordinary functions CT the
department of justice. the civil and
military administration will continue
under existing organizations, and r.
spect for those holding positions will
be maintained. The senate and state
council! are abolished and the chamber
of deputies is dissolved. The provis
ional government recognizes and
acknow lodges all national com
promises under the late govern
ment, and all agreements with
foreign powers. The public debt, in
ternal and external, will be respected
also, as YELL as all existing contracts
aud obligations made" To this Em
peror Dom Pedro made the following
reply:-'In view of the addresses

THE government revenues from all
internal sources during the year ending
June 80, 1889, were nearly $131 ,0O0, 900,
and the estimate of the revenues from
the same sources during the current
year is $135, 600 900. The bulk of this
revenue is from the tax on whisky in
one form or another; it is paid ulti-
mately by the men who drink whisky,
wine and beer, and without the slight
est sense of burden. 1t is not likely
that any political party in this day and
generation will deliberately propose TO
repeal the whisky tax in order to
maintain taxation on the necessaries Of
life.
