If it should prove true that the people
of Brazil have really thrown of the lmpe
rial form of government and permanently
adopted the form OF republic, 1t Will be
in many respects the most remarkable rev.
olution ever recorded in history. The out
break of a thunderbolt on. a quiet day IN
winter, from cloudess sky, would not be
more remarkable. There was nothing TO
indicate the approach OF the revolution.
Apparently there was no party IN the en-
pire favorable to a republic. To all out
ward appearance the reigning house was
popular and liberal; if anything, IN advance
OF popular sentiment on questions OF I'D
erty, as in the abolition OF slavery. The
people Of Portuguese descent are not by
nature or by religious connection given to
revolution or change of institutions. Bra
zil is country practically as large as the
United S iates; for Alaska cuts little hgure,
except upon the map Rio de Janeiro, the
larges, city, has only about the same popu
lation as Boston. What would we think
of Boston undertaking to revolutionize the
government of the United States? The
strangest thing of all about this Brazilian
revolution is that it seems to have been
inaugurated, and so far consummated, by
the officers of the army and navy, the very
class that usually is the chief reliance for
the maintenance of order and existing gov
ernment and institutions. So far as we
have heard only one man has been hurt in
the progress of the revolution. To US there
seems to be mystery about the whole
affair that is almost incomprehensible.

RHDIVIVDS.
Why Was the Venerable
Little Detective Re
instated?"
MANY MEN WANT TO KNOW.
But Kelly Won't Tell, Benson Is
Busy, and Murphy Is Mysterious.

The action Of the Board of Police Com.
missioners at its last meeting in making
Michael Kilcauley a detective with the
pay of patrolman, has excited consider
able comment throughout the city.
It is considered somewhat peculiar at
least that the Board should 60 outside the
force and appoint man to the responsi-
BILE position of detective who to all APP
pearances is more eligible to retirement
on half pay.
MIR. Kilcauley did efficient police duty
in the city from 1858 to 1866, when he was
dismissed from the force for political
reasons, and he has an excellent record as
a faithful and conscientious detective.
But there are at least half dozen men ON
the present force who were born since
Kilcauley was dismissed, and those who
are inclined to talk about the matter con-
slider it strange that when the Commits
sioners felt the need of detective to take
the place of William Burns, whom they
retired, they should pass over the young
and active men of the force and select an
old man from outside.
BUT SUCH THINGS DON'T COUNT.
1t is also remarked that Mr. kilcauley
Is above the age and under the height
prescribed by the regulations OF the Po-
lice Department, and the one question
asked by all who talked Of the case was.
What brought about this unusual APP
pointments
went up to Police Headquarters last
evening and asked President Feeney, OF
the. Board, If he could answer the con-
undrum.
''Oh. youth have to ask Commissioners
Benson and Kelly about that appoint
ment. They made it," replied Mr..
Feeney.
then went to Commissioner Kelley.
and stated the object of my search to
him. He did not seem TO know much
more about the matter than President
Feeney, although he acknowledged that
he introduced the resolutions appointing
Mr.. Kilcauley. He said that MIR. ,.Kilcau-
ley might be n year or two over the pre-
scrfbed age, and as to his height he had
no definite knowledge but. he added,
those matters are not taken into consider
alton when man is reinstated. He also
explained that although Mr., Kilcanley
has not been on the police force since
1866, he has during most of the time since
then been engaged in active detective
work.
THE CHIEF UTTERs AN ORACLE
next sought Chief Murphy, confident
that I should obtain some valuable infor-
nation from him ON the subject. And I
did. ! addressed the same questions to
him concerning Mr.. KileauleY's eligible
ity for the position Of detective. The
Chief looked wise, and then inlpressively
said John L. Sullivan got il year, +
