the common sense by which it was inspired
and the earnestness with which it was de-
livered. The speaker made his hearers very
clearly to understand why those who argue
that there is no issue before the public at
Inc present time as between the two regular
parties, and who say that 1t does not mat

retained in power, must be either ignorant
OF what they are talking about or must be
moved by crafty design to accomplish some
Interior object. Let no Republican and no
citizen who has at heart the welfare of this
community allow himself to be thus de-
ceived. Republican success is for many rea-
sons essential to national prosperity.

THE Italian Ministry, though it has done
much for the kingdom in the last seven
years, still has a mission and programme
to fulfill. 1t has consolidated the debt. re-
duced taxes, improved the civil service.
simplifed many laws, resumed specie paw
ments and accumulated store of money
for use in public works of various kinds.
Altogether the political Italy of to-day is a
very different thing from that of 1875.
Premier Depretis calls the present laws suf-
fcient to protect the national institutions,
but he promises to keep a watchfnl eye on
future needs. The direct railway between
Rome and Naples is a pet of the Govern

preparations for the army and navy have

This statesmanlike utterance can not be too
highly commended, especially as it is

THE volcanic condition of society in Eu-
rope just at present is well calculated to ex-
cite the gravest alarm, since trife NAV at
any moment precipitate revolutionary cri-
sis which would probably affect several ma
tons. The riots and outbreaks in France,
the attempt on the life of the King of Ser
via, the socialistic Vaccinations in Germa-
ny and the revolutionary Congress in session
III London, all show some signs of that Mini
listic spirit which is so intense terror in
the land of its erigination. The peculiarity
of this condition is that republican France
is as uneasy as monarchical England, impe-
rial Germany or autocratic Russia. 1t is an
evidence of feeling of popular unrest
which bodies i'll for ruling powers and bod
les, and indicates that the reins of govern
ment have been held too tightly and with
too little regard for the wishes and interests
of the governed. The usual resort of
alarmed tyranny, foreign war, may be at
tempted as a palliative, but it is doubtful
whether the tocsin of revolt would not aver
power the bugle blast of the call to arms.

THE French bureaux for affording out
door relief to the poor are among the best
preserved institutions of the Revolution.
They were established by law of the year
", and enlarged in scope by one of the
year XII, and they proved of so great utility
that two DEGREES of the Empire, one in 1906
and one in 1909, modified and preserved
them. Subsequent enactments have still
further expanded the system. The original
law was curious enough. Il enacted that
one-tenth should be added to the price of
tickets for theatres, balls or concerts, and
that the fund thus provided should be used
to relieve the needy. One disbursing Office
was provided for each commune, and in
some cases two or more. Under the exist
ing Law the Mayor and the senior cure in
each commune are ex oficio members of the
board, and the other members, five in num-
Der, are chosen one year each for five years.
These charity boards are obliged to keep
records of those whom they assist, with
statements OF the kind and amount of aid
given. The disbursements are now chiefly
gathered by solicitation, by boxes in the
public buildings and from the churches.

FACTS.


Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest. make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains. and everv possible care is taken
TO Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change oi
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west. northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such advau.

HOT COASTING.
A. Schenectady Man Tries a Trip
Down Hill on a Shovel.

Sohenectady News.
Nj manv evenings ago a we'll known
resident OF this city, accompanied by
ms wife and steel SCOOP shovel, was
] -urneying down town, wien, upon ar
riving at the summit of the Hamilton
street hill, which was q glare of ice
from summit 10 font-the man jokingly
remarked to the lady that lit wouldn'l
b. had idea tn ride in the shovel"
You couldn't" said the woman.
"Pshaw! yes, l could. / could go
| just like this" and to illustrate, he strsd.
died the handle, which be grasped Witf
both hands, and carefully seated himself
within the shovel. Then raising HI:
feet he showed how he could steer him
self, and said: Il could 60 as easy al
snvthing"
why, so you could" acqniesced his
wife. and giving him sudden push, she
added: "And there you 60"
And he did go.
So fast did he travel that in less than
two seconds time both shovel and mai
had disappeared from view of the wife
But second later she was startled by
seeing what appeared to he ball of fir
rushing at lightning speed toward th'
foot OF the hill, aud although consider.
ably frightened, the woman managed tc
descend the hill and institute search
for her husband.
She found the shovel, which lay ap'
parently exhausted in a small puddle o
melted snow.
A short distance further she discover
ed her poor husband seated in a snow
bank and groaning terribly. Even in
the darkness she noted the expression
Of agony on hi+ face.
"Maria," he murmured, "my Sunday
pants are ruined"
Not another word was spoken, but
when the shovel had become sufficiently
cool they started for home. The mar
went directly to bed, and his toes were
turned toward the springs. The shovel
has recovered, but the man still dimes
from the mantel piece.
