The Contest for the speakership
grows warmer daily.
If the Rev. C. S. Smith made the
remarks attributed so him at the Me
harry Dental college dedication
Wednesday he made a very foolish
speech, entirely inappropriate to the
eccassien.
The New United States.
The Empire of Br^ziHias succumb*
ed te the inevitable. The estab«
lishment of a Republic on its ruins
peacefully and without bloodshed
narks, one of the most remarkable
and significant revolutions of modern
times.
The Republican idea of govern
ment is destined to root out every
other form in the two Americas and
eventually predominate in the old
world.
The new United' States of Brazil
with favorable fortune will occupy in
South America the commanding po
sition of the great Repubhc in
North America.
Brazil’s peaceful liberation of its
slaves and establishment of a Repub
lic show that the country has wise
statesmen directing its affairs and a
liberal conservative populace.
COLORED DENTIST.

for Black Students.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 20.—-The
new Meharry Dental College for col
ored peop'e, a branch of the Central
Tennessee College was dedicated in
South Nashville this afternoon with
great ceremony.
Dr. W. H. Morgan, President of
University of Tennessee Dental
school, delivered the opening ad
dress.
He was followed by ex President
Hayes, who dweit upon the history
of the negro race, and predicted for
it a great future.
Judge David M. Key, of Chatta
nooga, who was Hayes' Postmaster
General, spoke.
Dr. J. C. Hartzell, Secretary of
the Freedman’s Aid and Southern
Educational Society of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church (North), said
in his address that he did not believe
in race segregation, and that if the
millions of negroes in this country
did not assimilate into the body pol
itic God would curse the land. He
vigorously attacked the Appeal to
Pharaoh,’’ and said the negroes could
not be removed. In twenty years
they would be entitled to the same
school privileges as white children.
He referred to what he termed the
great kindness of the North in build,
ing up schools for the South.
Rev. C. S. Smith, ot the African
Methodist Episcopal Sunday School
Union, declared that he loved Africa
better than America, and his highest
ambition was to go to Africa, which
was by right the negro’s, and there
raise an army to keep out every Agio.

The building cost §7,000 and is
the first colored dental school in the
country.
- • CmIm Sklpmmla,
Ws have before us some interesting
facts and figures which prove conclusive
ly that the cotton crop of this county is
sot up to its UBual standard as compared
with former yean. The number of
bale* shipped from this point from the
opening of the season until Nov. 20th,
amounted to 1,443, aa against 5,000
and over last year in the same period.
It is interesting to note that only 326
Of these bales were shipped over the M.
AC. Road, the remaining 1,117 having
been shipped over the Huntsville &
Nashville railway.
Another curious fact in this connec
tion remains for us to notice. At this
datT last year, Brownsboro had shipped
600 bales. Only two single solitary bales
have been shipped from that point up to
date this mason.

sa
e productions of sugar, corn and
wheat are remarkably small; the aver
age value of the sugar product is about

VENDETTA REOPENED.
Another Train of Tragedies Looked for in
West Virginia.
Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 22. —Big
Al. Blumfield and Heart Dinges, cousins
of little AL Blumfield, who, with his
wife, was murdered by Wilt Haley and
Pete MoCov in the Hatfield-McCoy
vendetta, arrived at Barboursville
Wednesday. They are heavily armed
and have warrants for the arrest of sev
eral members ol the McCoy and Rnnyan
families alleged to be concerned in the
killing of old Mr. and Mrs. Paris Hat
field in Lincoln county last week.
The warrants were issued by Justice
of the Peace Tom Blumfield, and he
says he is going to have the men arrested
if it takes all the Blumiields and Hat
fields in Lincolu county to capture
them. The McCoys will not give the
men up. for it is certain that they will
be bu'chereil like Nathan A. Farmer,
Edwin and Peter McCoy, the two Cains
and Charles Lamokin were after the
Blumiields caught them. This new
move in the feud will reopen the war,
and a succession of bloody tragedies
may be expected.
Chicago in Darkness.
Chicago, Nov. 22. —It was as dark in
Chicago at 10 o’clock Thursday as it
usually is at !0 o’clock at night. A
heavy fog hod settled over the city, and
in every office, building, factory and
residence lights were burning. The
signal service man said: “Yes, this dark
sess is peculiar; extremely so, but I can
only say that it is caused by murky
weather and low cloud*which obscure
the sun. An earthquake may follow,
but Chicago people need not be afraid. ’ ’)
At noon it became considerably lighter
and a drizzling rain began falling.

The Downfall of Monarchies

Interview With a Spaniah Statesman Who
Thinks the Brazil Revolution a Prelude
to Others—Emilio Castelar Talks Freely
▲bout the Change and Predicts That
the Sway of the Autocrat in Europe is
Nearly Over—flow the Revolution In
Brazil First Started.
New York. Nov. 22.—A copyright
dispatch from Paris to The Herald con
tains the following: “I am not in the
least surprised to know that Brazil has
at last decided for a republic, ” said
Emilio Castelar, the Spanish statesman,
to me. “In fact, my only wonder is
that she did not do so sooner. It is only
a few weeks since I assured a prominent
French statesman that the tendency in
Brazil was irresistibly in that direc
tion.
“To one who has, as I have, studied
the condition of tilings in South America
it has long been apparent that the
thinking classes there wero too deeply
imbued with the spirit of republi
canism to make any other form of gov
ernment more than temporary. Dom
Pedro has always tried to conceal this
fact from Europe, and he had more or
less succeeded. It is simply ridiculous
to claim that the revolution in Brazil
was due to the recent abolition of
slavery, for the men who have had the
most to do with overthrowing the
empire are precisely the ones who
brought about the liberation of the
slaves, and in both cases they were
simply acting in accordance with the
enlightened ideas of the century.
“As to the effect this revolution may
have upon Portugal, while I do not feel
like prophesying that it will lead to the
establishment of a republic in that
country, I am convinced^ it will have a
direct and marked effect in liberalizing
the policy of the Portuguese monarchy.
The two nations are really but one,
with the same language, customs and
tendencies, and the action of Brazil can
not but react upon Portugal. Besides, I
have reason to kuow that many of the
most influential and able Portuguese
writers and orators, such men as Latino
Coelho and Beossio Braza, are heart and
soul in favor of a republic.
“in Spain, I think, the immediate
effect of this South American upheaval
will be less marked. Were we under a
conservative monarchy, unpopular with
the masses, I should think differently,
but the government of Spain is very
liberal, and is of its own accord ap
proaching a point where republicanism
will assert itself as a 'matter of oourse
by the universal consent of the people.
There is no need of precipitating that
movement, but all the countries of Eu
rope may well tiud food for reflection
in this almost unprecedented event
Think of it. They awake in the morn
ing and And that a nation almost as
large as all of them put together has is
the twinkling of an eye, and without
violence, changed from empire to re
public.
“l he revolution is over, and the new
order of things is well established be
fore they were aware the older order
was compromised or that a revolution
was threatened. Curious, is it not? And
they may at last open their eyes to the
fact that mankind has entered upon an
era of reasou, and are no longer to be
driven against their fellows in murder
ous her Js and slaughtered by thousands
like unreasoning brutes to suit the
caprice of some vain autocrat who
boasts that God made him their master.
“The sway of the autocrat on this old
continent is nearly over. If there is
any one thing I believe with all my
heart it is that before fifty years Europe
will be republican from end to end. I
believe the change will be brought
about without the horrors of war as eas
ily as it has just been brought about iu
Brazil. As naturally as a man lays
aside one coat and puts on another, be
cause he likes the other better. The
peoples of Europe are growing wiser
every year, and seeing better what are
their real interests.
• ‘They will one day say to their kings,
queens, emperors and princes: ‘We
are masters here after all; this country
is ours; there is the door—go;’ and then
kings, queens, emperois and princes
will go, and it will be a beautiful sight
You look incredulous uud think me a
utopist, but what would you have
thought had I told vou a week ago that
to-day brazil would be a republic. As
I said, I believe these great changes
will be accomplished without war. Is or
do I believe Europe is now threatened
with war.”_
How It Started.
New York. Nov. 22. —The Herald’s
special correspondent in Brazil cables
as follows from Rio Janeiro:
“Two battalions stationed in this city
were ordered f om Rio to distant pro
vinces. The military officers, in a se
cret meeting, resolved to resist. The
government, on attempting to enforce
the order, was abandoned by the garri
son. The minister of the navy resisted
arrest, and was shot.
The ministi-y, deeming resistance
useless, submitted, and the triumphant
army proclaimed the federative repub
lic, appointing a provisional govern
ment which promises to respect Nation
al obligations, the life, pro^ierty and
rights of citizens.

Ottawa, Ont., Nov. a2.—The atten

been called to the fact that American
parties engaged in dredging out a dock
opposite the town of Sandwich, on the
Detroit river, are dumping the earth
from the American side into Canadian
channels. Sir John MacDonald, when
spoken to on the subject, said that this
was a step in the right direction, as, if
the Americans went on loug enough
they would cart the whole of the United
States over to Canada, and that was the
only wav annexation would ever be no.
