What Is ltaly's Future

The decision of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies to provide better means of rail-
way communication between different
parts of the peninsula is another step in
the series that have recently marked the
progress of Italy toward a more prom-
nent place among European nations.
This revival of the old Roman energy
began with the Mont Gents Tunnel; for,
however essential foreign capital may
have been to the completion of the work,
it was Italian engineers who surveyed and
demonstrated the feasibility of the great
undertaking. Then followed the one hun
dred-ton guns Of Spezia, the wonderful
iron-clads of the Dandolo pattern, and now
a more perfect railway system is to sup
plement this progress, more closely uniting
the kingdom and insuring better utilizl-
tion of her internal energies. Italy is pre-.
pairing for the future. When the final set.
tlement of the Eastern question shall occur
Italy intends that her interests shall not
suffer. She will attend at the death of 'sthe
Sick Man." On the Mediterranean, too, her
rights are to be maintained. This is satis-
factory. 1t is progress. Poor Italy has
given up so many things since the days
when all roads led to Rome that ambitious
nations of the West have been wont to treat
her as a worn-out monument of what
was once great but now deserving Of kind
ness rather than respect Step by step she
has surrendered her place in art, literature
and song. Even in her own studios the
Into Of orb
have taken firm root. But there seem to be
evidences OF change. Italy is to reassert
her Importance to the world and, it is to be
sincerely wished, may make her future all
she hopes for it.

it was the duty of the people in charge of
the boat to see that they we're removed be-
fore leaving the dock.
Many females and children are always
found on these excursion boats, and they
are entitled to protection. In the first
place liquors ought pot to be sold on such
boats. and in the next some means should
be adopted by which riotous and disreputa-
blepeople can be prevented from forcing
their way on board. The first is under the
control of the people in charge of the boat,
and unfortunately the bar is looked upon
as one of their best sources of profit. But
the sale of liquor on such occasions is dan
gerous to lite, and if it is not forbidden by
the License law it should be prohibited by
special ordinance. II the present Excise
law does forbid the opening of bars on ex-
cursion boats the violation of its provisions
in such cases ought to be punished. No
rufians could force their way on to excur-
sion boats provided sufficient police force
was in attendance on the docks where such
boats stop for passengers. We have Steam
boat Squad which is not overworked and
which ought to be used on Sundays for this
purpose. Such riot as that Of last Sunday
might cause great loss of life, and if drunk
enness and rowdyism are permitted or rem
dered possible on excursions people would

Preachers A-Fishin9.

The Baptist preachers struck popular
and practical subject when they dropped
into a discussion upon fishing. Some of
them fish through their summer vacation,
and enjoy and profit by it others hold up
hands in holy horror, while still others are
undecided. For the benefit of the last
named class we would suggest that there is
undoubted apostolic precedent for minis
terial angling, at least four of the original
twelve preachers of the Church having
been fishermen, and it has been shrewdly
argued that they were selected because
the experiences gained in pursuit OF the
fnny tribe are particularly valuable to
fishers of men. 1t stands to reason
that if mems wits are sharpened by
fishing with nets, which was the method
in vogue in Judea nineteen centuries ago,
the modern plan of using hook, line. rod,
reel and infinite variety of bait must be far
more stimulating to the intellectual powers.
Many of the anglers requirements which
are applicable to pulpit and pastoral effort
suggest themselves ut once. No fisherman
is foolish enough to coax all kinds of fish
in the same water. The trout, that favorite
of all anglers, must be sought in cool. clear
water, and the line must be 'cast" by
hand in which delicacy and strength CON-
bine, with judicious brain to support them,
and the better game which is sought by the
pulpit can only be taken by a persistent
use OF the same qualities. The salmon,
large, strong, rich and with decided will
Of his own, is always in hurrying, rough
water, like human game of similar charac-
ter and must not only be allured with SUBJ
stantial bait, but needs gaff as well as
hook to land him, and even then is likely
to be troublesome until he is dead. Any
blunderer can catch cells, but to hold the
slippery customers after they are in hand
demands unceasing exercise of the finest
human abilities. Let all preachers devote
themselves to cells, even il they hire

sometimes so coy that the fishermen declare

Just as some preachers bemoan the spiritual
apathy of their hearers; but let chopped

that blind man may catch them with an
empty hook here is q point for preachers
among the lower classes. Our best inter-
viewers have never been able to get lucid
expression of opinion from fish, but
enough has been learned to justify us in
saying that all watery denizens, from min

Rumnnism ON Excursions.

A disgraceful scene was enacted on an
excursion boat which left the city on trip
to Cold Spring Harbor last Sunday A
number of rowdies who we're among the
passengers made raid on the bar as soon
as the boat had got fairly under way, seized
the liquors, drove off all who opposed them.

and pistols and threatened free fight to

Four of the official wiseacres who con-
cocted the ''inside" theory in the Forty
second street murder case, and who were

gests the slightest imputation against you. !"
OF course there is not and never was
But the official idiots who undertook to
unravel what they chose to call the
mystery thought otherwise, and instead
Of making an effort to trace the murderer
spent their time in straining and twisting
every clew to make it fit their ''theory" and
lead in the direction of the worthy old
Doctors bedchamber. They held posses
sion of DR.. Hull's house for many days and
placed him under virtual arrest, while the
actual murderer was enjoying himself in
the city, having q good time with his
friends, making trips between New York
and Boston and brushing past the knowing
detectives on the street corners. They
spent days in searching up the chimneys,
under the flooring, in the cracks and
crevices and down the cesspools Of
the Forty-second street house on their
''theory" that the dead lndy's jewels had
not been stolen but secreted by the MUIR
derer to mislead the 'finest force in the

as sweet morsel under the official tongues,

wonderful genius of the ''inside theory"
