Il is against her husband, a Bourbon Prince,

He is a spendtlrift aud is Of exceedingly
offensive and vicious habits, and is at all
times willing 70 use his influence as consort

been long murmurs Of the discomfort

wife in political way, and it is likely that,

Be banshed, ANY change to a republican
form Of government would be intensely
popular in Brazil, and upon the Emperor's
death such change would be inevitable.
The annOu1 cement that the change was 10

Is certainly somewhat startling"
The World says that the result Of the au-
tumn elections were doubtless in favor of
the government, though the ministers were
charged with overriding In their zeal IN the
means adopted TO secure support. During
the three months that preceded the confess
all the governors and deputy governors and
all the principal police officials and local
dlgnitarles were sounded, aud those not IA
vorable TO the empire were reduced TO make
room for successors. Toe last electoral fight
was, in fact considered in Brazil to be
a contest between monarchists and repub-
licaus rather than between conservatives
and liberals, as had been the case in previ-
GUS years. The growth of republicanism
has been marked only during the past two
years, since 1t became evident that Dom
Pedro's life could not last much longer, and
that the government would then fall TO the
Crown Princes and her husband, the Or
leans COME d'Eu, and their children. There
has been little dissatisfaction with the En-
peror, AMI the cause Of the present revolu-
ton must, therefore, be looked Cor in

ism, the Gazetd de Noticios, the Dtario de
NotictGs and the Pdiz leading in this direc-
ton. In fact, these papers have been for

have frequently appealed directly to the
emperor to yield TO the wishes Of the major
| ity Of the people, and TO aodIc4te in favor of
M. Saraiva, whom they put forward as the
| first choice for president. AS late as August
last, on the occasion of the comforting of
diplomas upon the students of the imperial
school of medicine, one of the principal
| professors made speech, which was enthu-
siastically applauded, III which the
| emperor was appealed to to make way for
the establishment of republic. At the
last gathering of the Voluntareas da Patrin,
which is composed exclusively OF army
veterans. the Comte d'Eu, who, as a general
issimo of the Brazilian army, was called to
the chair, was greeted with shouts of"Viva
a Republicam Afterward the count was
received with marked hostility when he
visited the no them provinces of the empire
to superinteud the distribution of relief to
the tamlne-Strlcken population. Just before
parliament was dissolved in the summer of
1888 one of the members closed a brilliant
speech with the words: Down with the
monarchy Long live the republicl" sem
timents which were greeted with applause
by large number of deputies present.
THE ORIGIN OF THE REPUBLICAN PART Y.
The government was quite we'll aware of
the growth of this republican sentiment ia
the empire, and during the m )nths preced-
ing the last elections many districts where
| the sentiment was outspoken were placed
under what was as much like martial law
as possible. The Republican party has
| found its membership increased of late
among the landed proprietors, whcss inter-
ests were, they claim, not sufficiently
| guarded by the law for the emancipation OF
tne slaves. They say that the crown
/ princess, in bringing about the sudden eman-
| cipaIon in May, 1883, did not allow
them sufficient time to supply the
| places OF the slaves by means of labor. A
correspondent writing recently from Rio
states: THE year 1888 was one of great
abundance, and the landed proprietors,
being unprepared with the ready money
requisite for the hiring Of voluntary labor,
had the modification of seeing their crops
| literally rot before their eyes in conse.
| quence Of their inability to obtain mea to
harvest them. The ema ncipate1 negroes
absolutely decline to work more than is
