ROME Nov. 29-The Radicals are coming |
to the front In Italy This party is not recruit
cd from mechanics and workingmen. Italy
has a small quantity OF that peculiar stock
which is in France called tho ourrier. Radi-
calism gains its recruits from tho students
whose memories are filed with tho glories Of
the old Roman republic. who see In every
king Tarquin. and fancy themselves
Brutuses. Although called children by their
enemies. they display energy and daring above
their age, and their number frequently gives
tho police hard work. This explains why the
turbulent Roman and the educated rabblo OF
some northern cities have acted at times in de-
hance of the King and Of the Government Ono
of the leaders, Costa. repeated not long ago the
words which Gambetta uttered In tho French
Parliament at the beginning of his political
career You coll US children. but we will soon
show you that we do not lack in manly intelli-
gencc and energy; and some of these days.

find out that the children of yesterday have
become powerful and serious men,
Here is an instance Of the power of these
boys. Cardinal Almonda had been virtually
designated by King Humbert himself as the
most agreeable person for the vacant 500 Of
Turin. Tho Pope graciously complied with tho
Kings wish, and almost forced the old gentle
man. who did not want TO depart from Rome.
to 90 to Turin. The King desired to receive
him in royal manner. lie had given orders
that the state carriages Of tho court should
meet him at tho railroad depot. and had also
manifested his desire that tho authorities DO
present at his solemn reception in tho clthe-
dral. The Radicals got the Project to urgc the
King to give up tho idea OF solemn reception.
Tho Mayor OF tho city had already summoned
the Council Of Aldermen. and they had agreed
to go and meet his Eminencc at the station.
The reception. however, was put CT and Car
