Decided by q Bullet.

The first steamship that has reached this
country from Rio Jansiro since Brazil be
came republic arrived at New York on
Tuesday. According to the story told by
the steamship commander, Capt Charles
Allcott, the question whether Brazil should
remain a monarchy or become republic
was decided by pistol ball The captain
says that he asked tine cause of
the revolution. He was told that
a regiment of troops that had re-
turned from Mattagrasso, very sickly
place, had been ordered back there by the
minister Of marine, who was in charge OF
military affairs at Rio Janeiro. The com
maHder Of the troops thought the order
unjust, and refused to obey it. An angry
dispute followed, and the minister drew his
pistol and attempted to shoot the insubor-
dinate officer. He snapped the pistol three
times, but it failed to fire. Ia the mean
time the officer succeeded in getting
hold Of his pistol and shot the minister, kill
ing him. The captain says that it was the
opinion in Rio Janeiro when be left that
city that the empire would not have been
overthrow If the minister had killed the
officer.
It is evident, however, that the people
were ready for the republic; otherwise the
republic could not have been established so
easily. The killing of the minister NAV
have brought about the change sooner than
was expected.

Robert Haydn, editor of the Chronicle of
Charlotte, n. C., has been in town for several
when he said:
Il used to be q reporter in this town. and
was wandering around looking at the scenes of
my first Journalistic venture and the changes
which have been made. I'm editor of a country
paper now, and I'd rather be a big man and an
editor In small town than little man in a
large CITY, By the way, l stopped in Wash
lngton on my way here, and l saw John
Allen. the Mississippi democratic congress-
man, and a friend who told me a
funny story about Allen. The Congressman
was over in West Virginia during the last cam
palgn. and one day on train he met Judge
Houk, the kicking republican from Tennessee
The two sat down together chatting and chaff-
ing for some time, when HouS said: John, I'd
like TO have you tell me good big lie. Tell me
the biggest lie you ever told
Allen looked at Houk for moment
scratched his chin thoughtfully, and then
leaned over and confidently remarked /:
Judge, Harrisons administration is a great

The speech If ex-President Cleveland last
night at the dinner Of the Merchants Asso-
citation of Boston, a very full extract
from which we publish in our dis
patches this morning, is certain to
attract a great deal Of attention. Mr..
Cleveland Is a rsformeF. be has the
courage to take the position upon public
questions which he believes to be the right
one. At no time since be began his public
career has be hesitated to speak out boldly
in behalf Of what he believed to be for the
good Of the country. He has never
been a time-serving politician, and he has
never tried to get on the popular side in
any matter in which it has been his duty
as a citizen or as an official to take part.
AS president he spoke his mind about pen
sion schemes freely, and he made his party
take its position squarely in favor Of tariff
reform. Although civil servics reform
was unpopular, he enforced the laws made
to secure that reform, which he established
50 firmly that this country will never 60
back to the spolls system
At the dinner Of the Boston merchants
he pointed out the necessity for ballot re-
form, and predicted that within a fewyears
it would be adopted throughout the coun-
try. He believes in the people and feels
certain that they want an honest ballot and
will insist upon having it, if 1t can be OBJ
tanned. The sentiment in favor of it is
steadily growing stronger. The fact that
the Australian system Of voting has met
with approval in those states in which it has
been tried justifies the conclusion that the
people are tired Of the corruption and in
timidation practiced at the polls, and that
they are ready to adopt that or some similar
system at once.
Mr.. Cleveland understands very fully the
methods that are now practiced to defeat
the will Of the people as expressed through
the ballot-box. He knows that votes are
bought openly, and that in the great manu-
featuring towns employees are forced to vote
as their employers do for fear of being de-
prived of the means Of earning their daily
bread. Unless this condition of affairs is
changed, graver evils than at present exist
will arise and threaten the existence of free
institutions. Mr.. Cleveland's strong, brave
words in favor Of ballot reform should be
needed, and acted upon at once. Without
a pure ballot there cannot be honest govern
ment

Ia This Story True7

William T. Finley lcoloredl, Of Abbeville,
S. c., made his appearance in Washington
the other day, and proceeded TO narrate to
the republican correspondents who gathered
around him a narrowing story of his
alleged wrongs The correspondents in
duced him to make affidavit to his state
ments, and having accomplished that not
difficult object, they went to work at the
outrage mill. Finley's story IS that he is
republican, and that he was an applicant
for the postmsstership at Abbeville. He
claims to have secured the signatures of ll3
colored men and forty colored
women of Abbeville in favor of his
appointment. Last May. he says,
while he was sleeping sweetIy at midnight,
in Abbeville, he was awakened by knocks
upon his door, and, looking through
crack, be saw fifteen or twenty white men,
with pistols and sticks, standing on the out
side. He left quickly. but the alleged mob
chased him through the streets, caught him,
and used him very badly. They dragged
him 800 or 400 yards, he says, stripped him
OF his clothes and best him numerically,
and when they thought they had punished
him sufficiently for aspiring to the post
mastership. they threatened TO kill him if
be ever told on them. He promised not TO
tell, he says, and they left him more dead
than alive, after having ordered him to
leave the town that night. He says they
broke his leg and fractured his arm.
This is the story which, the republican
correspondents tell US, caused Postmaster
General Wanamaker's and Assistant Post
master General Clarkson's blood to course
through their veins at furious rate. Is it
true storys Senator Buffers home is not
far from Abbeviile. He says that he does
not believe anything of the kind happened,
Is he would have heard of it if it had. In
Abbeville the story is pronounced false in
every particular, except that Finley had
his leg broken one night by falling off the
bank Of cut at the end of the Abbeville
branch railroad. The accident was noted by
the local press at the time, and Finley's
was anything but an accident. 1t is also
stated that Finley professed to be a demo-
crat up to the time he applied for the post
mastership, that some of the signatures to
his petition were forged, and that he was in
bad odor with his colored brethren. They
threatened vengeance the night of the acct
dent, and Finley started on run down the
street near the railroad, and fell into the
out
Finlsy's simple, ipathetic'recital, =" and his
crude but eloquent crutches" had their
effect, and he was appointed Waterman
at the postofice department, at a salary of
$3.50 year. He is probably satisfied with
the outcome, the republicans are satisfied,
because they have got hold of an alleged
southern outrage, the truth of which they
viii never try to arrive at, and people who
ought to know are satisfied that Finley did
not tell the truth.

A year or two ago the Philadelphia In
quirer tried to get Mr.. Davis to write an
article on Abraham Lincoln, at his own
price. Mr.. Davis declined to do SO, and in

agreement has been drawn up. and it only
awaits a few signatures 1t is satisfactory
to all concerned, and by its provisions such
concessions are made by Mrs Clinch and
Mrs. Smith, to whom Mrs. Stewart be-
queathed one-fourth each of her estate, and
by Judge Hilton, the legatee of the other
half, as to give the contesting heirs an in
terest approximate to what they would
have received if all Of the heirs-at-law had
been treated equally well by Mrs. Stewart.
No doubt the lawyers will get big fees, but

The announced intention of Congressman
Cothran of South Carolina to resign was
received with surprise in Washington and
elsewhere, but there was astonishment
when it was stated that Congressman
Perry, of the same state, would also resign.
1t was intimated that Mr.. Perry wanted 30
give all of his time to work for the demo
cratic nomination for governor. Two con-
gresham from the same state, resigning at
the same time. would be an unusual occur
renee, but 1t seems that there will be only
one resignation. Mr.. Perry says that he
has no intention of giving up his seat in
congress, and the patriots who had about
made up their minds that they would let
the people elect them as the successor will
have to wait awhile longer before making
such personal sacrifice.

Passenger Bates in Georgia.

The railroad commission of this state has
issued circular amending the rates gov
erning the transportation of passengers.
The charges, as will be seen by reference to
the circular published in the MORNING
NEWS of Dec. II. go into effect Dec Is.
and are quite important. Those who travel
on the railroads will find it to their interest
to make themselves acquainted with them.
II is noticeable that a higher rate for a
lower berth in a sleeping car may be
charged when the upper berth is not low
cred than when it is. By paying small
advance on the regular price, therefore,
occupants of lower berths need not be in
commoded by unoccupied upper berths.
The commission requires that like and
equal accommodations shall be furnished to
all persons without distinction of race
color or previous condition. With a rule
like this there ought to be no trouble be-
tween the races so far as railway travel is
concerned. Self-respecting white people
will not occupy cars set apart for colored
people, nor will self-respecting colored
people thrust themselves into cars intended
for white people. The changes in the rules
are evidently intended to bring about a con-
dition of affairs in railroad travel that will
give satisfaction to all classes of people.

Two Boston young men were travelling
by rail in certain part Of Georgia the
other day. They evidently had never been
south before. and they were expressing to
some of the other passengers their impress
sions of this section. One of them, con
trolled by desire to be witty, but having
an erroneous idea of wit, remarked tina t
he had not yet met a southern young lady
who did not chew tobacco. 1t was a very
ungracious remark, and it aroused the in
dignation Of a young Georgian who sat
near, but he did not resent it further than
to say, MY friend, it is very evident that
you have not mingled in decent society in
the south" The smart young Bostonian
wilted. He had very little to say during
the rest of the journey.

1t is said that the proposed southern tour
of the pan-Anlerican delegates will be post
poned until next spring, owing to the large
amount of work to be done by the congress.
If this be true, it is to be hoped that there
will not be another and an indefinite post
ponement. 1t is worthy of note in this
connection that Mr.. Blaine is going to let
the delegates spend next week in New
York and New Jersey. They win leave
Washington Monday, and return Satur-
day. Having so much business to attend
to, it seems little strange that they don't
attend to it.
