ished, must surely lead u anarchy, civil con-
fict and all social evils. senior Barbosa raises
an issue of veracity with Dom Pedro and his
friends. The Emperor, he says, accepted the
allowances so generously nde before he left
Brazil and with them the rsults OF the revolu-
ton. His position now is menace to the Re
public and breach of fatl. These points are
sagaciously taken. Their strength depends OF
course, upon disputed fads but Americans
generally will prefer to re.aid them as Sufll-
cient. and will hope that subsequent events Will
Justify the Government ard render further
arbitrary conduct unnecessary.
Having preserved toward Brazil in this crisis
an attitude of friendly interest only. having
refraincd from those dcmOSratICns which
might easily have been excused conveying our
qualification at the final downfall of monarchy
upon this continent, the United States
is not likely to regarl with favor
any proceeding on the part Of Eu-
ropean rulers which unnecessarily embarrasSeS
the Provisional Government AT Rio. The
vindicatiOn in Brazil as elsewhere of the right
of cxpatriatiOn, a doctrine which the United
States has established in International law
after so much difficulty, will be watched by our
people with profound interest. If Portugal,
Italy and Germany have anything to say to
Brazil by way of protest, it would certainly
impress the American people nDre agreeably
if their representations were conveyed Singly
rather than in concert, and it is much TO be
hoped that no results hurtfu to the iust aSpira-
tions of the Brazilian people for s,lf-govern-
ment will flow from any measures taken by
European Powers for the protecto, of what
they may consider their rights and Interests.

The TRIBUNE wishes everybody the hap
piest kind of New Year; and please do not
forget the first time you write it that this is
1S90-not 1899.
One of the notable triumphS of 1889 was the
City of Paris, which closed the year in very
handsome fashion, lowering the record on her
eastward passage by few minutes. TO cross
the ocean in less than six days exciteS little
wonder now. though it is only few months
since it was done for the first time The City
of Paris has beaten herself so many times al
ready that one can scarcely believe she has
yet done her best. New trumphs are probably
in store for her, and it is by no means likely
that she will be allowed to wear them long
unchallenged.
The Board of Estimate seems to have done
its work for 1889 with a cOmmendable spirit
of economy. The total budget Independently
of the reduction made by the General FUND.-
varies only little from that of 1888, the eX-
cess being no more than the growth of the city
would lead the taxpayers to expect. The item
covering handsome payments to lawyers for
defending city officials either accused or sus-
pected is, however, clearly open to criticism
The Corporation Counsers Office is an eX
pensve part of the citys machinery, and ought
to furnish all the legal advice needed except
under very extraordinary circumstances.

Abbey The question is one that will soon
have to be answered, and it is question with
q sanitary bearing that demands attention.

"Thc World" yesterday, in hasty editorial
comment upon the action Of Governor Richard
son. of South Carolina, in offering a reward for
the apprehension and conviction Of the cowardly
assassins who were guilty of the Barnwcll massa-
ere. did a grievous injustice to the Governor. AS
The Worlds own news columns show, the Gov
crnor offered reward Of $500 for each murderer,
while Tile Worlds editorial page represents
the reward as only $500 for the whole horde Of
butchers The Governor says that he would
have offered a larger reward, but that there was
only s.. 800 in the contingent fund available for
tine purpose and as there were many persons I'M
plicatcd in the crime he did not feel justified In
making the rewards more than 5000 each. The
World owes an apology to the Governor. But
the State Of South Carolina can far better afford
10 spend a million dollars than TO permit the
murlcrcrs TO 20 unpunshed. If SO hideous
crime as this is not properly atoned for BY the
arrest. conviction and punishment Of the guilty
men, the State will not only be disgraced, but the
most serious dcmoralization will follow; capital
and labor will both be frightened away, and the
development Of the resources of South Carolina
will be wofully retarded
