1 Hendricks, pledged to the removal of at least 1 fifty thousand ofice-holders; for reformer i in politics, making moral character the only

 In a paper on Italian Social Life," con tributed to the current number of the Ma
 tional Review, MT. Gallenga points out that
 t'the great misfortune of an Italian citizen of the middle class is that he is man of few wants. The lazzaroni instinct runs through the whole race. No one will do a job to earn sevenpence so long he keep soul and body together by a job of sixpence-'' An other misfortune is that politics the only lucrative calling. Bu-
 reaucracy oyerruns the land like swarm of
 locusts. x There can be no Rome alone, The pay is
 little better than beggary, but the work is little better than make believe. There are twenty men to do the work of ten, and 1 twenty more to hinder it." A third evil is | that nowhere in the world is celibacy more generally the order of the day than among | the Italian middle classes. It is law for ! the clergy, rule of discipline for the land and sea forces a necessity for the mob of
 minor public functionaries and professional
 men; finally, 8 matter of fashion for the golden youth"
 FREE TRADE MEANS LOWER WAGES. VOTE WITH THE PARTY OF PROTECTION.
 The Melbourne correspondent of the Lon don Times, writing on September 4, states that a succession of burglaries which had l been committed in various parts of the suburbs of that city had been traced to a gang of French ex-conyiets from New Gale donia, who arrived in Melbourne by the Mes | sageries boat and commenced operations as l burglars and coiners. Six of them have | been arrested, the last capture being l that of Frenchman who had passed under several aliases, and who turned out to be the leader of the gang This man had undergone a long sentence on the roads l in New Caledonia for coining and other crimes committed in France. The house occupied by the men has also been discovered, and found to contain the most complete col l lection Of burglars and coining tools and ap- paratus of every kind that has ever been seen in Australia There were also found in the house supplies of food, wines and spirits sufficient to last six months, the stock having, it is presumed, been collected to avoid the daily calls of tradesmen and others. The discovery is stated to have caused great sen sation in Melbourne, as there are reported to be at present about 10, 900 convicts in New Caledonia, who may be expected to overflow into Victoria either as fugitives or expirees.
 CONNECTICUT HAS A GREAT INTEREST IN
 PROTECTION. VOTE FOR BLAINE AND LOGAN.
 Mr. J. H. Flagler is the general manager of the National Tube works at McKeesport, Pennsylvania This is the largest establish ment of the kind in the world, constantly employing force of three thousand work men, and indirectly. furnishing livelihood to a thousand more. MT. Flagler has voted the Democratic ticket all his life, but in this canvass he is working earnestly and effec- lively for Blaine. At the request of many Pennsylvania manufacturers and workmen, he has published statement of his reasons,
 in which the argument for protection and
 against the English policy and candidate is
 powerfully presented. It closes with this
 special appeal to American workmen of Irish
 birth; Why not just here use the power in
 your hands, power more effective than all
 the explosives in nature; and that is to speak
 through the ballot-box with the protective policy of the Republican party and thus say to England: Recognize rights or we will vote with and for that nation-wherever an Irishman dwells-who will restrict your trade
 until we, as people, are given respected voice in the government of old Ireland" A paralyzed trade and it's cause is the great mo-
 tor that will bring reflection to the English
 nation more effectively than arguments.
 The charity organization society of the city
 of New York makes a fattering showing for
 the two years and half of it's existence. The
 organization works through district commit
 tees, while all questions of principle are re-
 ferred to 8 central council Six districts have sbeen formed between Houston and Seventy
 second streets on the east and Houston and
 Fourteenth on the west side, and there will
 soon be three more above Fourteenth street,
 the intention being to cover the whole city
 as soon as possible. Already 40 of the city's
 leading relief societies. IT prominent institu-
 tions and 130 churches work in a large meas
 ure through the charity organization society;
 67, GOO reports have been received and filed
 and F, ,000 houses, occupied by applicants
 for help or criminals, registered. An out
 door officer looks after the beggars and has
 arrested many and cautioned others. Through
 his watchfulness number of ''poor blind
 men with large families to sup
 port have come to grief" He has
 found, too, that many of the organ-grinders
 are professional beggars- on their
 own account or in the employ of others. One
 of the greatest obstacles of systematized be-
 nevolence in New York is the bestowal of
 charity unwisely, and entire abstinence from
 back door giving is urged
