Palmer has filed q new bond for
four years, leads to the reasonable
belief that he will be continued in
office as Public Printer under the
present Administration. Palmer
is a Republican and brother.in.
law of Secretary Gresham. He
has more patronage at his disposal
than any officer at Washington
outside of the Treasury Depart
ment. In the light of some of
Mr.. Cleveland's recent appoint
ments, it would be the part of
wisdom for the many Democratic
applicants for this position to 60
home. Republican Palmer will
get the plum, and the many thous-
ands of appointments he will have
to make will no doubt lie from the
same Pulaski Citizen.
1t is evident that the Brazilian
rebellion is on the point of col
lapse. Nobody knows except the
rebel chiefs themselves what sort
of a Government they intended to
create if they succeeded. In the
beginning it was supposed they
were fighting for a restoration of
the monarchy, and stories have
been current all along that they
have been getting aid from friends
of the family of the late Emperor.
However, the present regime has
undoubtedly been given a new
lease of life. PeixOto's Govern
ment is far more repressive and

bringing a heavy damage suit
againt the Uuited States govern
ment for the loss of her throne,
based on the admission of the
president that U. S. forces were
used in overthrowing her govern
ment. But concerning this it is
said that an individual cannot
bring suit againt the government
and that her only recourse is to
Congress where it is probable she
would not meet with much sue
cess.-Springfeld Record.
Notwithstanding the great mon
ey panic which has retarded all
business enterprises Lexington is
continuing to grow. The noise OF
the saw and hammer are heard in
various portions of our little city.
New dwellings are being built;

ing into operation. In spite OF
hard times Lexington holds her
ground.-Lexington Republican.
The lively opposition in certain
quarters to any interference with
the issue of the penitentiary bonds
is very remarkable. Just what
Comptroller Harris has done to
be made subject of ridicule is
beyond our comprehension. lie

Just why bonds should be is
sued, and the government pay
interest to the holders while mill,
ions of dollars of silver bullion is
laying in the vaults of the treas.
ury, liable to be eaten up by rats,
is not apparent on its face. If an
individual should adopt such a
course his friends would have him
sent to q lunatic asylum.-Tribune

Gov. Turney is not afraid that
