The New llcpuhlic.
To the reader of historical events,
it was no surprise that the republicans
of Brazil accomplished the grandest
covp d’etat of the nineteenth century,
without bloodshed or undue violence,
Friday evening, t)»e 14th iust. Dorn
Pedro knew that he had incurred the
ill-will of events, but lie did not
that he was entering into a bloodless
revolution, as lie quietly sought bis pal
atial couch, amid the pomp and circum
stance of the imperial court on
that eventful night. But un
happily for him and happily for the
good of Brazil, the republican league
weie proclaiming liberty to the Bra
zilians w hile he was in blissful ignor
ance of these stirring events.
The insurgents, headed by General
Foncesca, proclaimed the republic.
The soldiery joined willingly the
revolution, and citizens and soldiers
fraternized. From an imperial guard
the soldiers became clamorous republi
cans, discarding the imperial colors for
the new republican (lag, bearing the
Phrygian cap in its center.
The provisional government selected
as its cabinet, president, DoDore Da
Foncesca; minister of the interior,
Aristide Lobore; minister of foreign af
fairs, Equantine Bocayura; minister of
I'iuuuce, Dr. Baiboza; minister of
justice, Campos Sallow; minister of war,
Benjamin Constant; minister of marine,
Admiral Vanderhaltz; minister of ag
riculture, Dcmetris liibiro.
The provisional government notified
the emperor that the earth bad fallen
from beneath him, and that hit pres
euce would not be needed moro than
twenty-four hours longer in Brazil.
The emperor took shipping for Portu
gal, where be thinks he can enjoy life
better than among a lot of newly made
republicans.
This sudlou deposing of Dorn Bcdro
will cause the crowned head of Europe
to quail at the audacity of the people;
and even Kaiser William and his
neighbor, the Czar of Russia, will in
voluntarily put their hands upon their
jeweled heads to see if their crowns are
securely fixod. They may be there
now, boys, but don’t forget to keep
your grip-sack packed, or to he on
good terms with St. Peter, for sooner
or later you will have to work for your
bread like other people, or bo sent
prematurely to the bosom of your fa
thers by a red-handed icpublicau or a
hair brained nihilist.
Do the offices belong to the people
or to the officers ? If you want this
question answered with die most flaunt
ing insolence of office, outside of an
absolute monarchy, call upon some of
the officers in the new capitol, even in
the city of Atlanta, and if their freez
ing demeanor does paralyse you, then
timidly inquire of them to whom do
the offices belong, and we have not
the least doubt they will inform you
with great sang froid that, “they be
long to us aud our families, forever, in
fee simple.” This may seem a rather
severe stricture, but that is the way
they impressed us, while on a business
call. We are of the opinion everybody
in the capitol should be elected by the
people; this would give them an idea of
democratic principles. They would then
realize that the offices were not made for
men to domineer over their fellows.
The treatment we complain of consist*
«d of the uncivil and snappish manner
in which one of them answered some ques
tions, of a business nature, pertaining to
his office. The questions, we asked, had
perhaps been asked him a thousand
times, but it was the first time that we
had the misfortune to incur his ire by
asking them. If this officer is being
paid by the state of Georgia, out of the
money that the tax payers of the state
have paid into the state treasury, it
does seem that perse ns seeking inform
ation from his department should be
treated with civilly while in quest of it.
If he is not paid by the state he should
seek fame and fortune in auother place.
The people are entitled to courteous
treatment from all oflicers, from, gov
ernor down.
The Governor has signed a bill to
change the time of holding the Superi
or courts of Butts and Rockdale coun
ties, in the Flint 'circnit, so that the
Butts courts shall be held on the thiid

Rockdale courts on the second Mon.

A lietter From t leielaud.
Lot isviLi-K, Kv., Nov. 18.—Last
week John 11. Page, secretary of the
Bandana Club of the Twelfth ward of
this city, forwarded ox-President Cleve
land a letter concerning action taken
by the club regarding him, and this
morning the following acknowledge
merit was received :
New York, Nov. 10, 1880.
To John 11. Page, Esq., Secretary, etc.
My Dear Sir —l am very much
flattered by the note which I have just
received from you conveying the report
of the Bandana Democratic Club of
Louisville, and T accept with thanks
the honor conferred by my election as
an honorary mem tier of that organiza
tion. The best compensation for the
discharge of public duty is the approv
al of good people. If I have gained
that, and in addition I have succeeded
in giving *he principles of democracy
increased life and activity, I am content.
I hope that I shall not appear unappre
ciative, if I remind you that the work
now in hand consists in still further
presenting to the people the wisdom
and beneficence of the party’s princi
ples rather than advancement of claims
by an individual. lam glad, however,
to see that the club has such waim ap
preciation of the fight made in Ohio by
our governor-elect, and of his services
to the cause of democracy.
Yours truly,
Grover (’i.eveland.
It Pays.
A single page in a single issue of the
Century, taken for advertising purpos
es costs ffsoo, in Harper, S4OO, in otlr
er prominent magazines, from $3.50 to
S4OO- A yearly advertisement of one
column in the Chicago Tribune costs
$20,000 ;in the New York Tribune
$21),554 for the lowest, and SB7,7GQ
foi the highest rates, in the New York
Herald, $30,203 for the lowest, and
$89,500 for the highest priced column.
These papers, it is said, are never at a
loss for advertising to fill their col-
umns. And yet business men frequent
ly hesitate to invest a lew dollars in
advertising. The local paper is the
best salesman known. It is always po
lite, never snubs a customer, and is al
ways on duty.—Ex.
The Macon Telegraph seems to
think that the next republican congress
will give the south some bail medicine
in the way of a proposed force bill. It
speaks of unseating democrats in con-
tested election cases as though the
democrats had no rights in the matter.
Wo can see no reason why our chances
are not as good now to thwart their
schemes as it was under the bayonet
rule of Gon. Grant. We are not ap
prehensive about a force bill, and if
they should pass it they will have to
sweat under the yoke themselves.

i Ex-Governor Huron 11. Sherman o;
lowa holds that the “discontent” cans
ed by “the attitude assumed by the Na
tional Administration had a good deal
to do with the Republican defeat in bis
State. From ail directions come the
news that the Republican party consid
ers Harrison a Jonah. But no way
has yet been devised to throw him ov
erboard where the Democratic whale is
waiting for him.—Buffalo Courier.
Cot,. Buck lias held office at Atlan
ta for the past sixteen years. A prom
inent republican who does not affiliate
with Buck and his crew said Saturday
that there is one good thing about
Buck’s change from the clerkship to
the marshal’s office. If the next ad
ministration should he democratic,
which it will, Marshal Buck will be
subject to the ax, and.lie most likely
will be one of the first to go.
We have a pair of spectacles that
hook over,behind our ears. The thills
are too short, and in consequence
comes near jerking our ample-ears out
of their sockets when we madly lean to
our labor. Something must bo done to
relieve the tensiou or there will be a
no eared editor shown up at the next
press convention. The quertion is,
shall we move our ears forward or
splice the thills ?
The republican party might nomi
j uate Governor Foraker for President,
just as they nominated General Harri
son after he'liad once been beaten for
| governor aud once beaten for the sen -
: ate, but the chances are that after his
recent experience it will be a long
time before it will pretend to know
| more about a man than the people of
his own state,do. —Ex.
The sum ok 5200,000 is a small
prict? to pay for the small batch of laws
that the last legislature evolved from
their sapient cranial excresences. Yes,
it is a small price, when we remember
how badly we need the laws and how
little use we had for the money.
Whhre, oh where is the grand ag
gregation of goober smashers ? Echo
remarks, “they've returned to the bos
om of their constituents, from whence
they will wauder tio more again for
ever.”
The autocratic methods of Mr
Foraker, of Ohio, and the Czar of
Russia, do not suit the democrats of
Ohio aud the nihilist of the Czardom;
hence it is that these two monarchs
died prematurely.
The Determined Alliance.
We were handed the resolutions lrere
.B below given, which is a move in the
right direction. The stale of Georgia
has annually used millions of dollars
worth of commercial fertilizers, and
there appears to be no diinunition in
the amount being used; in fact, the
statistics show that the sum total is
annually increasing. This .being true,
the farmeis are entitled' to have it
sacked in cotton bagging, which will
consume no small amount of the cottoi
crop in its manufacture.
The Alliance has money and brains
to direct them iu their movements, and
it is safe to say that they will force all
manufacturers, with whom they deal,
to a just recognition of their chief
staple—the cotton crop.
Resolved, That we hereby petition
the legislature of Georgia to pass a bill
requiring all guanos sold in the state,
iu the year 1890, and thereafter, to be
sacked in bags made entirely ,of cotton
cloth.
Resolved further, That a copy of
this resolution be sent, by the secretary
to each county Alliance in the state,
with a request that the same be en
dorsed by them, also that a copy be
transmitted to our members in 1 lie leg
islature.—Floyd county Alliance.
We are not disposed to kick against
the hand of distiny, nor have we the
audacity to clamor against the divine
right of the Georgia legislature. In
according these dignitaries the right of
perpetual session, we had forgottou 10
chronicle their doings; so, last week,
while we were gathering a remni ut of
cotton, styled at this season, “the cau
dal appendage of the dog.” or vulgarly
known as “dog-tail cotton,” they ad
journed without either telephoning or
telegraphing us.' • Hence it is, and was
that, wo did npt inform our readers that
public sentiment and the weekly press
had dissolved the long parliament.
It is to he regretted that Mr. I’resi
dent Fleming du Bignon, has retired
from politics. We hoped to see this
self-inflated young man enter tbo gu

The best man to lead the domo

carry New York without doubt. Gov.
Hill seems to he the man who has
never failed to do it.
It is now in order for Jingo Jim to
send one of his great American tubs
down to Brazil and declare a United

country.
I)om Pedro is now a carpet bagger.

Some interesing points are settled by
the elections.
'l'lie tariff will he the great, the over
shadowing issue in 1892.
The democratic candidate will be a

for tariff reform.
Neither Benjamin Harrison nor Fire-
Alarm Feraker will be the republican
candidate.
The democracy will have better pros
pects in the west than ever before.
The south will remain solid
The Australian ballot reform will be
adopted in New York, and an honest,
unbought vote seemed there.
The next congress will ho democrat

The republicans in the present con
gress will make a show of revising the
tariff.
Srgro flprk* and Carriers.
The colored brother is slowly hut
surely coming to the front in the At
lanta po* toffies.
Iu the last few weeks five negro
substitutes have boon appointed in the
carrier department, and one has just
recently been placed on the regular
force of carriers.
This makes four regular negro car
riers, with the negro substitutes iu the
line of promotion in case of the re
moval or resignation of any of the
white regulars.
In the railway mail service there are
seven negro clerks on trains running
out of Atlanta, and about tweiitv-five
on the Georgia division under Super
inteadent L. M. Terrell.
The Western and Atlantic has one
negro cleik, the East Tennessee one,
the West Point three and the Georgia
two. *

Hinging N oises
In the ears, are sometime a roaring
buzzing sound are caused by catarrh,
that exceedingly common disease. Loss
of smell or hearing also result from ca
tarrh. Hood’s barsaparilla. the great
blood purifier, is a peculiarly success
ful remedy for this disease, which it
cures by purifying the blood. If you
suffer from catarrh, try Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, the peculiar medicine.
Impure blood is the primary cause
of the majority of diseases to which the
ltuiuau family is subject. The blood
in passing through the system visits
every portion of the body—if pure, car
rying strength and vitality ; ii impure,
disease and death Biood poisoning is
most dangerous. Prickly Ash Bitters
will render the last impossible, and will
regulate the system so that health will
he a sure result.
The consciousness of having a reme
dy at hand for croup, pneumonia, sore
throat, and sudden colds, is very con
soling to a parent. With p bottle of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectorial in the house,
one feels, in such cases, a sense of se
curity that nothing else can give.
It was once supposed that scrofula
could not be eradicated from the sys
tern ; but the marvelous results produc
ed by the -use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla
disprove this theory. The reason is,
this medicine is the mo.-t powerful
blood purifier ever discovered.
“Tt's only a question of time,” aud
a short time, too, as to when your
iheumatism will yield to Hood's Sarsa
parilla. Try it.
The circuiaiion of the blood—quick
ened and enrichened—bears life and
energy to every portion of the body ;
appetite returns ; the h tir of rest
brings with it sweet repn-e. This can
bo secured by taking I)r. J. H. Mc-
Lean’s Sarsaparilla.
