Premier Crispi Resigns.

ROME, Feb. 2s.-Prime Minister Crispi
has resigned. He was to have spoken in
the Chamber of Deputies to-day, but after
Cabinet council he decided upon
resigning in order to avoid
the inevitable hostile vote on the
government measure providing for addi-
tional taxation. Such vote would have
rendered it difficult for Signor Crispi to
form a new Cabinet. 1t is expected that
King Humbert will ask Signor Crispi to re-
form the ministry, and that several of the
present members of the Cabinet will be re-
tanned, while the others will be chosen
from the party of the Left.

OTHERS SHOULD REMEMBER.

The New York Financial Chronicle has
an extended article upon Mr.. Carnegie's
controversy with the Pennsylvania Rail
road. of course this organ of railroad
stockholders disapproves of Mr.. Carnegie's
position in all its details. 1t produces the
stereotyped railroad argument at length, in
refutation of Mr.. Carnegie's statements;
and finally gives up its own case by the ad-
mission at the close that ''it is of course
rates should be modified" As this is a
virtual, though grudging, admission of the
Pittsburg position, we need not review its
arguments at length; but it is interesting
to notice one point which the Chronicle
makes very prominent.
The New York journal intimates that Mr..
Carnegie is arousing a feeling of hostility
against corporations, and asks him whether
he has forgotten the great Pittsburg riots
and the havoc they caused. If Mr. Car
negie is attempting to incite disorder and
produce riot against the railroad corpora
tions, he is doing very wrong, and The DIS
PATCH will afford him no support in any
such effort. We hardly need say that we
do not believe that Mr.. Carnegie has
any such purpose; but it is worth
while to turn the question of the
Financial Chronicle upon itself and
the railroad corporation that it repre-
sents. Have they forgotten the riots of 1877
and the causes which produced those riots?
1t is worthy the recollection of the railroad
that those riots we're only rendered possible
by the feeling of enmity and hatred aroused
through the persistent discrimination and
oppression of the Pennsylvania Railroad on
Pittsburg industries. If Pittsburg had not
been burdened and taxed by the railroad for
years previous to that event, the good sense
of the people would have at once repressed
any tendencies to disorder. But the per-
sistent policy of the railroad in levying upon
Pittsburg manufacturers all that they could
bear, alienated public confidence and de-
prived them of that popular support upon
which all corporations must depend for
maintenance and protection.
That this lesson was understood was mani
fest in the course of the railroad for few
years alter 1877; but it seems to have been
forgotten now. The corporations should not
forget the riots OF that year. They prove
above all things that the sole dependence of
corporate preservation lies in their respect
of law and their conciliation of the public
good will.

would not turn into wine. The fervency of
Mrs. Kings supplications and the sympa-
thetic enthusiasm of the audience availed
nothing. Atthe end of an hour of tempes-
tuous prayer, the water was water. still.
The miracle did not appear.
In nearly all these so-called miracle meet
ings, which are generally remarkable for
the total absence of the miraculous, either
gross ignorance or crafty imposture is the
motive power. Probably the case of Mrs.
King illustrates the potency of ignorance
coupled with religious enthusiasm. If the
water had been apparently turned to wine,
we should have sought for an impostor.
Usually the ignorant crank or clever rogue
finds at his disposal a goodly number of
semi-intelligent persons in every community,
who are only too ready to lend their ears and
dollars, too, to the first man or woman who
promises them something miraculous.
These credulous creatures assure themselves
and would have the world believe that they
are influenced in this by genuine religious
feeling. But in reality they are only dupes
of their own curiosity and of fool or a
knave, as the case may be.

QUAY'S GRIEVANCES.

1t appears from Washington advices that
Senator Quay has more to complain of in
respect to the distribution of patronage
than the siege of Office seekers. The i'm
portunities of the fellows who want office is
bad for the junior Senator's equanimity
when he wants rest, but the contrariness of
the officials who fail to appoint Senator
Quay's men to Office, and the bad faith of
the statesmen who get their men appointed
over Quay's head, produces the exaspera-
tion that makes the once willy Matthew
Stanley throw to the winds all his old rules
of silence and discretion.
Senator Sherman is the latest object of
Senator Quay's complaints. The Pennsyl-
vania Senator virtually charges that the
Ohio Senator played card from the deck
head, as it were, and the cool Ohio Sena-
tors reply amounts to an admission that
surreptltious trump was used to take the
trick, but claims that the other fellows did
1t. Senator Quay is worked up by this
political sharp play almost to the point of
vowing that he will quit the game; but he
is deferred by the reflection that if he
should do so the other fellows will absorb
all the stakes, and they would like it alto
gether too we'll.
Even if the indictment which he brings
against Senator Sherman be true it looks as
if our formerly clever Pennsylvania leader
was rather unnecessarily vociferous over his
wrongs. Sharp play is what is to be ex-
pected in the game of politics at which SEN
ator Quay is an expert; and if in such
game the Senator finds himself on the chilly
outside, it hardly BELTS him to fill the air
with assertions that "Poor Toms a-cold."
The supposition was that he, of all men, un-
derstood that it is not discreet for an ambi-
tious leader of the machine to advertise the
fact that he is on the outside, or to unneces-
sarily antagonize the fountain of patronage.
The fact that be has disregarded these
primary rules by quarreling with the bread
and-butter of his followers, if not with his
own, and by raising rumpus with the Sen
ators who have got ahead of him, seems to
warrant the conclusion that the quondam
Napoleon of Pennsylvania politics has lost
his head in the whirl of the national game.
We have heretofore suggested to Senator
Quay the value of that advice which he
rendered to Governor Beaver. But the ad-
vice seems of little use now. He has talked
too much already.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22-When the clip
per ship L. Schepp, which has just tied up at
Race street wharf, was beating down in the
trade winds in the dreary waste of the South
Pacific Ocean, on her way from San Francisco
to Philadelphia, Captain Gates was much sur
prised to find on coming on deck one morning
a boatload of stalwart men approaching his
vessel An island was seen a short distance off
the starboard bow, and on the boat getting
within hailing distance an aged and decrepit
man in the bow shouted: 81 am Thursday Oc-
tober Christian, Governor of Pitcairn Island"
He said that the population of Pitcairn con-
sisted of lis men, women and children Captain

Bounty and then bore away for the island of

GO AHEAD, WANAMAKER!

The Washington correspondent of a CO.
temporary writes as follows:
Mr. Wanamaker has started in to run big
Government department on the same principle
that he ran his big merchandise house in Phil
adelphia- This may or may not be good for
the Government, but it is certainly distasteful
to the general public. The public doesn't like
it, and it says so. His first assistant acts as
bulwark to the Quaker City merchant and
meets at least nine out of every ten of the
office seekers. Notwithstanding this, Mr..
wanamaker is unjustly building up for him
self reputation Of being unnecessarily dis
agreeable.
If this writer tells the truth about Mr..
Wanamaker and his methods, it will not be
the general public that will complain of
the Postmaster General The politicians,
the professional Office seekers, may growl.
The public, the sensible mass of men of
both parties, would like to see all the de-
partments run on strictly business lines.

and praise he wants if he succeeds in put

A PRnHIRITInN DEFEAT

The vote on the Constitutional Prohibi-
tion Amendment in Massachusetts,, as re-
ported in to-day's dispatches, does not
promise much for the popular support of
that method of abolishing the liquor traffic
The result was perhaps foreshadowed by
the election in New Hampshire, where the
measure would naturally be expected to carry
if it carried anywhere. With Massachu-
setts added to the list of States that voted
against Constitutional prohibition the in
ference as to the result in Pennsylvania is
pretty strong. 1t is rather singular rever-
sal of the general estimate of the two Sec
Uions that while Western and Southern
States have adopted prohibition two New
England States have voted ag ainst it. Penn
sylvsnia seems likely to be satisfied with
the restriction of the liquor traffic by the
Brooks law, as applied bv its courts

MR.. BRIGHT AND sHAKEspEARE

The late John Bright did not like Shake
speare. 'It is the dialogue" he said, that
spOils him for me. The break from sentence
to sentence, the question and answer, the
continual interruption of the thought divert
the attention and impair the interest. The
flow of thought is not sustained; the style
goes to pieces"
This criticism of the greatest writer the
world has produced will strike people as
Bright was man of high literary attain
ments and one of England's most eloquent
orators. On its face this contrary express
sion of judgment would seem to impeach
Mr.. Bright's intelligence.
But it must be remembered that Mr..
Bright was in some ways a very peculiar
man. His attachment to his own ideas was
terribly strong, and in some fields of thought
he stood absolutely alone. He cared moth
ing for the lighter side of life Like his
love for peace at any price, his love for GER
tain styles of speech and language was
wonderfully strong. Conversation had no
attractions for him. Long orations, worked
up step by step from premises to per-
oratiOn, were his delight He was master
of the old-Style school of oratory, and his
eloquence in that form was peerless. So
the brilliancy of Shakespeare dialogues
was lost to him. Dramatic power he could
not understand.
But it is singular that he could not ad-
mire Shakespeare sOnnets and his other
more strictly poetical works. 1t was per-
haps an eccentricity of genius.

There is an old colored man whose case 1

Usually he is anywhere from month to year
in arrears with his rent Every storekeeper
from whom he can get credit he never pays

benevolent person hands round the hat for this
old spendthrift and relief fund is raised for
him. He is. for a wonder, tolerably industri-

If he had little sense about managing hi

who had to my knowledge just avoided being
