SUFFRAGE IN ITALY.

Italy is working upward to the more
advanced plane of enlightened govern
ment through the extension of her sys-
tenn OF suffrage. Heretofore she has al
lowed to vote only those citizens over
twenty-five years of age who pay taxes
to the amount of about $3.50. Under
this rule the whole number of voters has
been less than million. The electoral
reform bill recently passed by the senate
allows every adult male who can read and
write to vote. This, of course, would
very largely increase the number of
voters, though illiteracy would still keep
the ballot out of the hands of very
large proportion of the rural population,
as well as of many men in the cities. In
1870 sixty-four of every hundred men
who were called upon to render military
service could not read or write. Since
then the government has been active and
liberal in encouraging the establishment
of schools, and naturally great advance
has been made in imparting the rudi-
ments of education to the young peas
antry and the children in the cities.
Still, the number of illiterates must re-
main very large. Under the new rule
the electoral list will gradually grow,
but it will be a long time before univer-
sal suffrage will be established by it.

menaced that we resent injuries or make pre-
partitions for our defense. With the move
ments in this hemisphere we are of necessity
more Immediately connected; and from causes
which must be obvious to all enlightened OBJ
servers. The political system of the allied
powers is essentially different in this respect to
that of America. This difference proceeds
from that which exists in their respective gov
ernments. And to the defense of our own
which has been achieved by the loss of SO much
blood and treasure, and matured by the wis
dom Of their most enlightened citizens, andIun-
der which we have enjoyed unexampled felici-
ty, this whole nation is devoted. We owe it,
therefore, to candor and the amicable relations
between the United States and those powers,
to declare that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing colonies
or dependencies of any European power we
have not interfered, and shall not interfere
But, with the governments who have declared
their independence, and whose independence
we have, on great considerations and Just prn-
ciples, acknowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of depressing
them, or controlling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power, in any other
light than as the manifestation of an uIifriend-
ly disposition towards the United States In
the war between those new governments and
Spain we declared our neutrality at the time of
their recognition, and to this we have adhered
and shall continue to adhere, provided no
change shall occur which, in the Judgment of
the competent authorities of this government,
shall make corresponding change on the part
of the United States indispensable to their Sc
curity."

IRON AND STEEL.

General Francis A. Walker, superin-
tendent Of the tenth census has issued
valuable document containing, in con-
nection with the statistics of the iron and
steel production of the United States,
and accompanying maps and charts Illus
trating its location and progress, COM
plete and exhaustive history of the manu-
factrre and production of iron and steel
from the earliest ages of the world to the
present date. This extended history re-
lates solely to the development of the
production and manufacture, and not to
the economic or Legislative policies by
which they have been developed. These
are mentioned in connection with the
history of the iron and steel production
only to say that they are not the subject
of comment. The production is traced
over Africa, Asia, and Europe, and the
early efforts at production in the Ameri-
can colonies, and subsequently in each
of the states is given. The concluding
sentences of the work are as follows:
"We are to-day the second ron-making and
steel-making country in the world. III little
while we shall surpass even Great Britain in the
production Of steel of all kinds, as We have al
ready surpassed her in the production of Besse-
mer steel and in the consumption Of all iron
and steel products. The year 1882 will prob
sbly witness this contamination. We are
destined also to surpass Great Britain in the
production of pig iron. These conditions and
results are gratifying to the our national pride,
for of themselves they assure the ultimate pre-
eminence Of the United States among all civil
lied countries, II it is true, as recorded in the
second chapter Of Daniel, that " iron breaketh
in pieces and subdueth all things" the country
which produces and consumes the most iron
and steel must hold the first rank. When the
United States takes the position which it is
destined soon to take, as the leading iron and
steel producing as well as consuming country,
the saying Of Bishop Berkeley, that westward
the star of empire takes its way" will receive
new Interpretation, for the iron industry, which
had its beginning in Asia, and then passed
successfully to the countries along the Mediter-
ranean, upon the Rhine, and in the north Of
Europe. Will then have made the circuit of the
world ~

cable through carelessness, was killed by car
on the I'd inst.
heavy landslide occurred on the grade of
the New York, Chicago and st. Louis Road near

duclng death in short time, and the latter will
lose leg by amputation.
Three ladies were drowned at Broadway
Depot, Va, on the morning of the list inst,

THE PUBLIC LAND.

The Alta Californian says the days of
"dirt cheap" land are numbered, as at
the present rate of immigration all the
arabic land still owned by the govern
ment will soon be taken up. It thus
sums up the land situation: The total
area of our country, emitting water sur
faces, is about 3,541, 900 square miles
OF course, a considerable amount of
this is still public land, open to settle
ment, but the rapidity with which the
public domain has been voted away or
taken up under the laws will soon leave
the government without any desirable
land to offer to immigrants. Thomas
Donaldson, in his late work on this sub
ject, estimates that it will be possible
for the government to realize on its re-
naming lands, with economy and Judi
cious management of surveys, nearly
$1,000 900; but to do this will require
both time and patience. The lands are
of character that will sell at fair prices
more slowly than in the past The cost
to the government of its public lands by
purchase, the expenditure for surveys
and disposition by the land Office, the
amounts paid Indians for land acquired
of them according to the conditions OF
the numerous treaties made with them,
etc., aggregate the sum of 1892, 900, 900,
while the amount realized by sales is
less by 1922, 900, 900 than the expendi-
lures. The manner in which the land
has been disposed of is about as fol-
lows: Sold for cash, $40, 100000 acres;
granted for educational purposes, SO,-
600, 900; given to soldiers and sailors,
$1,000, 900; swamp and overhowed land
presented to the states, 10000, 900; alb
sorbed under the homestead laws, Co.
100000; granted to railroads, 24O, O0O,-
900; to canals, $500, 900; for military
wagon roads, 1,3OO,OOO; as town sites
and county seats, $4,000. There is left
less than 800, 0OO,0 acres, which is
roughly classified as follows: Pasturage
and desert land, $50, 900, 900 acres; tim.
Der, IS, 000,00 mineral, 65, 900, 900; ir.
rigible, 80, 900, 900; state lands, %, 000,
90 arabic, 100000, and coal, 4,50O,.

Guiteau Sentenced.

The motion for a new trial OF the Gr,iteau
case came up for hearing before Judge Cox on
the Sd inst. Col. Corkhil submitted the affi-
davlts OF various persons to the effect that De-
tective Snyder was a liar on general principles.
and q man who could not be trusted. The affi-
davlts of all the jurors in the case were pre-
sented, denying that they had read newspaper
during the trial. The matter was argued by
Scoville and Davidge, and the judge took the
matter under advisement.
On the 4th inst, after little legal sparrinp
had been INDUCED in by Scoville and Davidpe.
Judge Cox read from manuscript his decision
everything the motion of the prisoners counsel
for new trial. Scoville then filed his motion
in arrest of judgment, and Guiteau called out;
eff Your Honor please, / desire to ask is there
any motion that | ought to make to preserve
my rights" The judge then posted Scoyille as
to the rules applicable to the filing of luis ex-
ceptiors. Corkhill then asked that the sentence
of the court be pronounced. Judge Cox ordered
the prisoner to stand up and receive his sem
teDce, asking him at the same time whether he
had anything to say why sentence should not be
pronounced on him. Guiteau responded with
one of his usual wild and violent addresses,
claiming that he was Gods agent aud that the
Deity would see that the American nation rolled
in blood if his (Guiteaus) body was put in the
ground. Judge Cox in q solemn manner pro-
nounced sentence on the convicted criminal
which was as follows THAT you be taken
hence to the common jail OF the district from
whence you came and there be kept in confne-
ment, and on Friday, the 30th day Of June.
1882, you will be taken to place prepared for
your execution within the walls of said Jail,
and there, between the hours Of 12m NJ, and 2
o'clock p M, you be hanged by the neck until
you are dead; and may the Lord have mercy
on your SOUL"
Guiteau stood unmoved during the reading.
but when the judge concluded he struck the
table violently and shouted: "And may the
Lord have mercy ON your SOUL I'd rather
stand where l do than where that jury does
and where Your Honor stands. / am not afraid
to die; / stand here as Gods man and God AL
mighty will curse every man who has had part
in procuring this unrghteous verdict" After
apparently firing himself out he turned to his
brother and conversed some minutes before
being removed.
