CAUSES OF THE FALL OF THE EN-
PRE-,

Rumors of dissensions in the new
Brazilian republic have renewed the
interest in that country and the ex-
traordinary and bloodless revolution
which so lately swept the empire
From newspapers received from the
Brazilian capital it now appears that
one of the causes of the overthrow of
Dom Pedro was that bone of all gov
eminent discussions - disconten t
over the spoils of Office. 1t was
charged that the emperor was guilty
of favoritism, besides allowing him
self and the government to be swayed
by sycophants and unprincipled court
iers. In fact, it seems to have been q
revolt Of the politicians and office
seekers of Brazil, rather than the
masses, who really had little to say in
the matter and accepted the change
of government with indifference.
AS evidence that the great body of
the people did not favor the revolu-
ton the Rio papers admit the fact
that three months before its occur
renee the Republican party of Brazil
was overwhelmingly defeated at the
polls. This fact might lend color to
the rumors recently set affoat in
Europe of a reaction setting in favor
able to the Monarchists. But where
a republic once sets her foot, there
she keeps it. 1t is this form of gov.
eminent that is the growth of the
centuries, has been evolved as the
cream of governmental experiments.
Brazil has been invaded and captured
by this taste of liberty, and though
long enough to have its effects even
partially appreciated, it has not re-
manned among those people, yet even
now the wager is laid they would not
give it up, and its influence will grow
with individual years not decades.

A BAD MISTAKE, SENATOR GIBSON
Under this heading the New York
Herald of last Friday had the follow
ing editorial:
Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, yes.
terday introduced in the senate res
olution instructing the foreign rela-
tons committee:
"To inquire into the expediency and
practicability of acquiring or setting
apart territory for the occupation Of
negro or colored citizens Of the United
States, and also to inquire how far and
in what manner the government Of
the United States can and ought
equitably to aid the freedmen of the
United States, their families and de-
scendants to emigrate thereto and to
settle thereon and to establish sys-
tenn of common school education"
Mr.. Gibson's resolution does
not cover the whole ground. He
ought to have instructed the
committee also to ascertain
whether any and how many of the
"negro or colored citizens OF the Uni
ted States" want to remove to res
walton in this or some foreign country,
and what shall be done about those
who prefer to stay at home.
If the colored people of the South
ern states are to be removed to a res
ervation in or out of the United States
it strikes us that this ought to be
done at the cost of the Southern
states.
And why should this be burden on
the Southern states? Are they re-
sponsible for the condition of the
negro? Have they not for years fur
nished the negroes homes and good
employment? Are not the negroes, as
a rule, satisfied with their residen ce in
the South? But if they want
to leave and state or
general government aid is expected
why should the Southern states alone
be called upon to contribute it? Are
they not citizens OF the Union just
the same as white men? The federal
government and not the states regu-
lates immigration laws. Though so
far as Texas is concerned we see no
necessity for such a resolution as that
offered by Senator Gibson, yet if any
thing of that kind is to be done he is
right in placing the duty where he has

THE CoLoRED VOTER.

In playing into the hands of the
Republican extremists in congress,
who are preparing for another crusade
upon the South, the negro leaders of
Virginia may overshoot the mark. In
the resolutions adopted at their con-
ference yesterday at Richmond they
call upon congress to pass such cleo
ton laws as will guarantee the negro
greater rights of suffrage" than he
now enjoys. The exact grievance or
grievances on which this appeal is
made are not stated, but as the negro
in the South already exercises rights
of suffrage in the same manner and
to the same extent as his white
neighbor, it must be concluded the
Virginia negroes at least want some
thing more in the matter of suffrage
than is accorded the Caucasian citizen,
a thing that would hardly be stomached
even by the Republicans themselves.
What ever complaints the Virginia
negro may have on the score of the
ballot box-whether he is allowed to
"vote early and often" or MOTT may
be asserted of Texas that here there

INDIGNATION AGAINST THE GOV
ERNOR.

A special dispatch from Bonham,
North Texas, printed in the Gazette
represents the people of Bonham as
highly indignant at the pardon of
Kilgore, convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. The Bonhamites APP
pear to have been little previous.
The facts are: At the date of the
special the pardon had not been is
sued, only promised, and the papers
for Kilgore's release were being made
out in the executive Office so late as
yesterday afternoon.
Now the point in the case is this ::
If the people of Fannin county wish
to visit their wrath upon anybody for
the pardon, they should, in all justice,
expend it upon the distinguished
gentlemen who signed the pc
tition for Kilgore, not upon
Gov. Ross, who acted upon
the recommendation of such repre-
sentative persons as the district judge
of Fannin county, the mayor OF Deni-
son and score of sheriffs, ex-sheriffs
and other officials and prominent and
influential citizens. When the gov
ernor of the state OF Texas reads the
request of such personages he cannot
but conclude that the communities
they represent desire the pardon. If
the people of community don't want
a convict pardoned, let them sit down
on the judges, sheriffs, constables and
"jurors who tried the case" who sign
pardon petitions, and in such way
they won't do it again. The governor
is hardly the official to blanche acts
simply upon the bald face of the
record, the written case as it comes to
him. The trouble of the pardon bust
ness is at its source, the petitioners,
the signers.
