Government of Brazil Changed.
Powersville Reporter.
Edited fcy SuS.
Ifi Memoriaui.
Last Friday morning a bloodless
revolution occurred in Brazil, and j The oyster supper at Mr. A, C.
the government was changed from; Oliett’s' on Idsfc Friday night was
an empire to a>epubliu.
A republic was declared,
Emperor Dom Predro was deposed
without violence, beyond the sem
blance of force that armed soldiers
gave to the orders issued by the
officials of the newly formed, gov*
ernmeift.
Gen. Da Fonseca; a high army
official under the imperial goyern-
mept, was the chief conspiritor,
and he is provisional President of
the republic." Through his efforts
the allegiance of the army and
navy to the" proposed hew govern
ment was secured, and then repre
sentatives of the people were con
sulted. Full arrangements were
made, pro i ional officers named
and eterything made ready for the
hew regime before the proclama
tion was made. There was practi
cally ho Opposition, and the new
government is formally in con
trol of affairs.
It is officially announced that all
financial contracts made by the
government under Dom Pedro will
be faithfully carried odt.
Dom Pedro and his family have
sailed for Europe, and the new
government will allow a liberal
fixed stim of money for his sup
port.
The government as now officer
ed will continue in force until an
election can be arranged and car
ried out.
It cannot be positively said now
what effect this change will have
upon the commercial world, but it
is believed that the new order is in
accord with the wishes of the peo
ple, and that commerce will be dis
turbed for a Short tvhile only.
This change disposes of the last
monarchy on the American conti
nent.
Whereas, the hand of Provi
dence has removed .from pur midst

The change of government in
Brazil brings out the.fact that the
ehief importations from that coun
try to the United States amount in
value to $60,000,000 of coffee,
$60,000,000 of sugar; and $16,000,-
000 of rubber. It is f urthe rsaid-that
half of the coffee consumed in the
United States comes from Brazil.
Should commercial affairs in Bra
zil be materially disturbed for any
considerable period, the coffee
drinkers, inj this country would
have to pay much more than the
present price for their beverage,
ing was spent in social talk, and; submissian to the Divine will,
the lovers of the. tempting oyster
stew had their appetites fully sat
isfied. The young people all de
sire another title soon.

Mr. Editor, we are glad to hear
from y&u that your subscribers
have so liberally responded
to your call in paying up their
subscriptions, and that you will be
enabled in the near future to give

cannot give us a better paper, for
the Perry Home Jgubnal has ever
been a sound, clean paper, so rec
ognized by all the leading journals
of the day, fully democratic in all
its principles, a/ffiend to the peo
ple, especially io the backbone and
sinew of our country, the farmers.
May the Joubnal continue to pros
per and grow, until its rank will be
second to none of’tbe leading pa

don us for reproducing the above

The governor of Florida has
complained to Secretary Blaine
that the Spanish consul at Key
West has unduly and improperly
interferred with the local affairs
of that city. The specific charge
isjthat he has aided and abetted
cigar makers there in a strike,
thereby preventing an adjustment
of the' differences between the
striked and their employers. The
recall of the consul' is demanded,
in case the charges are sustained.
