More Trouble In Italy.

BY our latest kilograms from the south Of
Europe we have news that bands of republi-
can agitators have assembled on the Swiss
frontier of Italy, and appear to be in full
understanding with the insurgents who have
recently been giving trouble in Caabria and
the vicinity of Naples. At the same time the
partisans Of Mazzini are fomenting fresh dis
cord in and around Genoa Thus we find the
serenity of Victor Emanuel's realm assailed
in three quarters at once, and it is very pro-
bable that we shall next hear of demonstra-
ton on the Adriatic side of the peninsula as
well The recent causes that have directly
led to this unhappy state of things are vari-
ous Among them we may reckon financial
pressure and increased taxation the contnu-
ance and reinforcement of the French army Of
occupation at Rome and Civita Vecchia the
presence Of the Ecumenical Council at Rome,
and the evaporation of the revolutionary
party at their late severe defeat by the friends
of Napoleon Ill. in France
The humorous journals of Florence and Tu-
rim, mixing little gall with their mirth, have
very significantly published caricature repre-
senting the headless body of Revolution"
decapitated by the Napoleonic axe at Paris.
taking flight to the summit Of the Alps and
there waving aloft her fiery torch. This hint is
clear enough, and the Mazzinists Of Italy have
seemingly followed it at once. The Italian
kingdom, however, is strong in its reforms, in
its schools, in its improved administration and
in the attachment of both army and peasantry
to its soldier King, ''the gentleman monarch"
or ''Re galantuomo," as they are fond of call
ing him. Therefore we have reason to be-
lieve, as we certainly hope, that this renewed
attempt to retard the restoration of a noble
country and patriotic people will as COM
pletely fail as all the previous efforts of the
ultra reds and the bitter reactionists, who
secretly aid and abet them with treacherous
intent, have hitherto done.

The spanish Throne Question.

All our recent news goes to show that Spain
is approaching point in her history which
promises to be critical-very critical. Prlm
has fixed point by promising TO make full
statement on the Gsh of July of all that has
been done since the revolution and fight Of
Isabella in the matter of the throne. 1t is a
lamentable fact that Spain has for period of
nearly two years been begging sovereign
begging hard, but begging in vain The
regency is good enough in its way; but the
regency, every Spaniard knows, is only tenn
porary-at best compromise, and therefore
unsatisfactory to the nation at large. Under
the new constitution Spain is still monarchy,
and IL does seem as if the people really pre-
ferred that form of government. AS the nation
has not abandoned the monarchical form of
government it is in the last degree desirable
that some satisfactory settlement Of the throne
question be arrived at with as little delay as
possible.
1t is still uncertain who is to be the King
Of Spain. All the old candidates seem to
adhere to their original purpose. They will
not have the throne. Montpensler Is the only
candidate who has not refused to bear the
royal burden. Unfortunately, however, the
throne has never been offered him since it
has been possible to offer it to any one. Mont
pensier had promises before the revolution was
a fact Since it has been fact there has been
no fruit. Montpensier is the only candidate
who now wishes the Spanish throne, so far as
l., b,,i 81 yl,o
have been mentioned in that connection he
seems to have the smallest chance. We have
been glad to learn that the name of Dom Fer
dinand of Portugal is again in favor. Dom Fer
dinand should be pressed. He is father to
the King of Portugal During his reign
the two neghboring kingdoms would be likely
to grow into mutual good feeling. In the
natural course of things Dom Luis, the King Of
Portugal, would succeed his father, and the
sister nations, which have really no good
reason for remaining apart, would become
one-harmoniously and happily one. 1t is
we'll known that Dom Ferdinand has no desire
to be burdened with the cares of State but it
is just as well known that for years he gov
erned Portugal with wisdom and with great
success If Prim is wise he will press in this
direction. It is the only statesmanIke course,
so far as we can see. OF all possible courses
this alone offers immediate as well as ultimate
gain.
We see from our latest news that the ques-
tion of slavery in the colonies is engaging the
attention of the Cortes If Spain is wise and
wishes to command the respect of the modern
world she will wipe out this foul blot at once.
Under her new conditions the prolongation of
slavery is the prolongation of scandal and
an outrage. She needs the sympathy of the
nations; but SO long as she clings to this sin
she cuts herself off from the good feelings and

The Ohio Democracy in the Field

The Ohio democracy, in State convention,
have nominated their State ticket and pro-
claimed their platform for the coming October
election. Their platform embraces subdued re-
iteration Of State rights; denunciation Of the
present tariff aud the bill before Congress as a
scheme Of gigantic robbery of the people; a
denunciation Of the present internal revenue
taxations as unbearable and oppressive
denunciation of the prohigacy of General
Grants administration and of the system Of
squandering the public lands upon railway
monopolies pronunciamento against the
act to enforce the fifteenth amendment as
unconstitutional resolution in favor of tax
ing the national bonds and one for the aboli-
ton of the national banks and, finally, a
resolution denouncing ''the trucking of the
federal administration to Great Britain and
Spain, and the efforts of the party in power to
reduce whole States to vassalage to the gen.
eral government"
There is good deal Of humbug, claptrap
and twaddle for buncombe in this platform
but there are several issues presented,
such as the tariff internal taxes, bonds,
banks and public land grants to railroads,
upon which the Ohio democracy will be able
to make good fight; and, in re ference to the
policy of Mr.. Fish towards Spain and Great
Britain, they will have the advantage of
throwing the republicans upon the defensive
with very little to boast of. AT all events, the

The government receives, then, but one
fourth or thereabout, of what 1t ought to
receive. 1t is defrauded Of seventy-fye mil
lions year. This may seem startling, but is
nevertheless true. A large number of
wealthy Americans are in Europe, and never
pay the tax; a great many change their
residences and cannot be followed or found
Thousands upon thousands give in falls,
returns, and perjure themselves rather than
pay. A vast number reinvest portion of
their incomes, call that capital in business
without returns, and otherwise quiet their
consciences to avoid the tax. In fact, there
are so many ways of evading the law, the
assessors and collectors, and it is so utterly
impossible to detect most of the frauds, that
people have learned to look upon the obligation
to pay the tax with much the same Indifference
or contempt that professional smugglers do
the revenue laws. The mass of the COM
munity have set their faces against the tax,
and begin to think there is nothing wrong in
evading it. This decentralization will increase
should the tax be continued, and the proba-
would not collect over fifteen millions, or even
ten millions from it.
Some of those who advocate the continl-
ance of the income tax attempted to argue
that it was popular. 1t is no such thing 1t
is unpopular. The mass Of those who have
to pay and who can be reached are people
with salaries or very limited and we'll known
income-people who can only just make both
ends meet. They have to bear the burden,
while men Of large capital-those who live
extravagantly by speculation-and the slip
perry rogues evade the tax in whole or in part
How can such an inquistorial law, which
invades the private affairs of people and
spreads over the face of the country an army
of tax gatherers, be popular? 1t is in direct
conflict with our free and repub lican institu-
tions. It is inmical to that sense of inde-
pendence and private right which Americans
have always cherished from the foundation of
the government. Such a tax would never
have been thought Of but for the extraordi-
nary demands of the government for the war.
1t was, as Mr.. Mccarthy properly said, war
measure only, and ought to be left to die q
natural death. There is nc necessity for the
tax. The income of the government is much
too large and should be reduced. But if there
were no other reason for abolishing the income
tax fis demoralizng effect upon the commu-
nifty, in leading to false swearing and other
fraudulent snhterfuges too numerous to men
tion, calls imperaiiyely for its discontinuance.
Let this inquisitoriaI, obnoxious and un- -Ameri-
can law expire by its own limitation. Let it pass
away as the other evils growing out of the
war are passing away, with the hope that no
necessity will ever arise for its revival.

Proposed Disconflnunncc of the Income
Tax-Debatc ON IL In Congress.


The debate in Congress on the income tax
deyelopes considerable hostility to the con-
tinuance of this odious and direct impost upon
the people. Some Of the ablest and most
clear headed members of the House have
spoken against IT, General Butler said that
while the income tax was fair in theory the
difficulty was that only the honest and consci-
entious men paid it and the rogues evaded 1t.
He added, emphaticalIy, ''the country de-
manded the abolition of this tax, and it must
be abolished, or else the places that now
know them would know most of them no more
forever" II is evident this shrewd man under
stood fully the unpopularity of the tax when
he gave this warning. Mr. Mccarthy, of New
York, showed that it was only intended as
war tax, its existence being limited to five
years; that there was general demand
for the removal of it, that it should
not be renewed, but left to die
natural death and to pass away into the
past, as all the evils growing out of the
civil war were passing away. Others pro-
posed modification of the tax by applying it
only to larger incomes than at present. Some
few defended it. The general feeling, how
ever, was against the tax entirely.
Judging from the brief report Of the debate
telegraphed to New York, we do not think
members made the most Of the argument
against the inquisitorial and odious tax which
they might have made. No tax is SO corrupt
ing and demoralizing to the country. None
is evaded so much, and particularly by those
best able to bear it. 1t yields but twenty
five millions year to the government, while
hundred millions or upward We have made
an estimate Of the number Of persons and the
amount of their incomes in the United States
subject to the tax, and the following is the

around Mount Morris to know that, through
the exertions of their legislative representa-

provement Of the park itself. Thus the much
needed work of improving the public parks is
gradually progressing all over the city.

The Ocean Cable 10 Chinn.

The decision of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs against granting subsidy to the pro-
posed Pacific Cable Company is understood as
precluding any further action on that sub
ject by Congress in its present session, and
thus the great enterprise does not yet take
shape that warrants hope of early direct
teIegraphic communication between the Ameri-
can and Asiatc coasts. We regret that this
great measure seems thus indefinitely thrust
into the future. 1t appears to us that it might
have been otherwise if the projectors of this
cable had stated their requirements at more
moderate figure than ten million dollars. For
Congress to guarantee that sum to the enter
prise was practically TO assume the expense
of it, and if Congress votes the peoples
money to build vast telegraph lines, why
should the lines, when thus built at public
expense, belong to private corporations rather
than to the people? Doubtless this idea stood
in the way Of granting enough money to con-
struct such cable, though it would not have
stood in the way of such legislation as would
have given the labor the most practical and
material assistance.
However constructed, whether at public or
at private expense, this cable is a certainty of
the future. 1t is inevitable in the develop
ment of our part in the great Oriental trade.
Already it is discovered in the common traffic
between the East and Europe that the time is
shorter from China to London by way of San
Francisco and New York than by the Indian
Ocean, even with the advantage on that route
Of the Suez Canal, and this fact alone is MAX
ing commercial revolution whose operation
is more and more felt with every day that
goes by. Its final result will be to change all
the currents Of trade with the East, so that
all the products of the Chinese empire and all
the return will come and 60 by the route
across the Pacific. Such commerce needs
voice, needs the means Of instant and ready
interchange of intelligence and expression of
desire, and this need can only be met by an
electric cable. Therefore the cable must and
will be made; whether it be made by the Sand
wich Island route or by way of the Aleutian
islands seems, in the light Of present informa-
ton on the subject, to matter very little

vises the fathers to get up and get to work at
an earlier hour in the morning. AS we said

ness, and will have no adjournment until the
dogma of infallibility is proclaimed. The
bishops know what is wanted. If the heat is
oppressive let them hurry up. Good boys do

however the brethren must have little more

of their ''niggers." In another year or two,
perhaps, with fresh outpouring Of grace,
they will come round. Otherwise, we fear,
your Southern old line hard shell Presbyterian
will prove an incurable fre-eater.
