senator Camden's Exposure Of Senator
Blair.

This Is what the New York Ssar says OF
Senator Camden's exposure Of Senator
Blair's untruthful attack of President Cleve-
land in regard to the pension yetoes;
SIT was a surprise to the whole country
thata Senate committee should have adopt
ed the rawlings of man ike BLAIR, VINO
lives and fattens on demagOgy. BAR per-
mitted IL 10 be understood that the Demo
cratic members of the committee agreed 10
the report. Among them is Senator Cam
den. of West Virginia, who did not see nj
I'm remain silent under the imputation that
he had assented to an insulting report upon
the official acts of a Democratic President.
Accordingly Mr.. Camden prepared a state
ment which was signed by all the Demo-
cratic members of the committee, denying
that the Blair screed had been agreed to by
them and asserting that they had no knowl-
edge of the adoption Of any such report by
the committee. In short, II turned out that
Blair had dishonorably attempted TO give
his own bitter and partisan views an appa-
rent Endorsement by presenting them as the
opinions of the committee. Caught IN the
act. he endeavored 20 show that the yetoes
had been considered by the committee on
June %. Bur here he was stopped again,
.or Dir. Camden proved that he had gone to
the committee room on that day and found
mo- one there. it being stated by Mr.. Blair
clerk that the New Hampshire statesman
was otherwise engaged At the end of Mr..
Camden's ruthless exposure the Senate con-
tempuously tossed back Blair's report to
him. Not one of his fellow partisans had
an excuse for him.

ITALIAN PAPERS.
The Undeveloped State of the Daily Press
of Italy.


There are about two hundred daily
papers in Italy. Nothing analogous to
the county or village newspaper in
America exists in the Italian peninsula.
As for the large cities and those of the
second and third class, they are amply
supplied, as will appear from the fol-
lowing statement: There are in Milan
eight, in Rome twenty-three, in Venice
six, in Genoa six, in Naples seven. in
Turin five, in Florence five and in
Palermo three. Those in Milan are in
the most reasonable proportion, for
there are only eight, and the population
is not far from 100000, while
the people of Lombardy are the. most
energetic and intelligent in Italy.
The twenty-three at Rome
are the anomaly. Rome has popula-
ton of 160, 900. or a little more than
half that of San Francisco. vet it has
three or four times the number of daily
newspapers. OF these the Romano
P0polo, sort of Government organ,
has circulation of $4,000. 1t is in
| diligently edited and influential and
TedSOl5Ule. Ike IlOst Oh the JOURNALS Oh
the country, which, when they entertain
ultra-republican views like the Secolo. at
Milan, content themselves with mild ex-
pressions of opinion. that the public
harmony may not be disturbed. The
| Secolo, which is said to have circula-
ton of 10000. is seen everywhere in
Italy and occasionally is sold at news
stands in France and Spain. 1t has a
reputation for ability and enterprise not
only among its partisans but its enemies.
and the manner in which it is con-
Quoted is more like that of first-class
American than any other Journal in
Italy. The general distribution of news
papers indicates the prevailing degree
of intelligence in the localities where
they are published. Rome being nota-
bic exception. Naples, though having
zoo, 900 more inhabitants than Milan,
has less daily newspapers, while Paler-
mo, great and important city, has
only three. Genoa is about the size of
Rome, yet has but six dailies and an ig-
norant reading constituency. The
greatest proportion of illiteracy is, of
course, found at Naples and down
through Calabria into Sicily, and here
there is not only greatly diminished cir
culation of newspapers. but of all kinds
of terature.-Pdrma Itaty) Cor. San
