ILL HATED BRAZIL Seems Doomed to Experience An
 other Revolution. MoRAEs VERY UNPOPULAR
Rebels Active and Favor Seat- Ing Peixoto- MelIo
 Again Heard From.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-A cablegram from Monevideo says that the grand council of the Brazilian revolutionary junta has de- cided to forward arms and ammunition as fast as possible to the rebel forces and push the war vigorously against President Moraes, because his peace propositions are mot considered to have been made in good faith and he is pursuing the same policy as Ex President Peixoto adopted. Amnesty, il offered. will come too late. No conf dence will b. felt in any government In which Peixoto has influence.
 Governor Castiho of Rjo Grande Do Sul was nearly captured by the rebels at Rio Pardo. Fourteen of his escort were killed |. Castilho's escape was due to the heetness of his horse.
 President Moraes is very uneasy. q Rio Janeiro telegram reports, since he has dis- covered plot to place Peixoto again in power. Several persons arrested at Rio Janeiro are said to have con fessed 10 par ticipation. Peixoto, several Of his former ministers and one member of the present cabinet are implicated in the conspiracy.
 The rebels expect to capture Port Alegre soon and then the rebel fleet will appear having their base of operations there, and active naval operations will begin.
 Advces from Rio GTande Do Sul state that four prisoners caught by Governor Castilho's escort were horribly butchered :, and, it is asserted, by bis orders, though this is disputed. The rebels also are com mitting atrocities on prisoners.
 The war is being waged in a manner worthy Of Turks.

 CAREER IN THIS CITY.

REV. L. s. HANDLEY's LONG AND USEFUL
 CAREER IN THIS CITY.
 December Is, 1874, Rev. l.. s. Handley, at the First Presoy yteran church, this city, preached his first sermon to Birmin gham congregation. On Sunday last, without parade or boasting, he celebrated bis twentieth successive year of service in the Presbyterian ministry in this city by preaching powerful sermon in the Cen tra Presbyterian church, corner of Filth avenue and Eighteenth street. His text was Gal. iii, &: ''So he that believeth is blessed with faithful Abraham. His sermon was on the "Power of Faith.' .'
 As Birmingham has grown, so has the two charges which this learned and much beloved divine has had charge of. When he assumed the pastorate of the First church it's membership comprised twenty three persons. During his fifteen years with that church he received over 700 mem- bers. When he took charge of the Central Presbyterian church on the 1st day of April 1890, the membership was small, but now has membership or over 260 active per sons.
 His has eer rtainly been wonderful work for God.

Great Britain, it is re- ported, has determined to restore Clarence to power at Bluefields, and arrangements to that end, it is believed, are now being perfected.

The Price Of Wheat.

Wheat, 80 cents. The market has
gone Democratic.-Posr.
The above was no doubt intended
for something funny, but be that
as 1t may, will the editor of the
PosT be candid enough TO tell his
readers whether the Democrats rule
the price of wheat, whether the tar
III does, or whether supply and de.
mand do ! Which news item.
The above multiplicity question
propounded to the editor Of this lour
nal is an easy one to answer. The
Democrats have the power, but they
don't know how TO use it. They
don't rule the price of wheat except
in negative way, but this causes
all the trouble. Our contemporary
undoubtedly proposes to explain
the low price of wheat by saying it
is due to supply and demand. We
admit that value depends always
and wholly on the relation between
demand and supply. '' 80
