shown 10 be nearest the tastes of the majority OF

save those Of his youthful period and Parsifnl,n
which is AS yet moncpolized by Bayrcuth, was
matter of necessity. the three schools would stand
on an equality. As il is, the list includes seven
operas belonging 10 Italy including Don Clown

eight belonging 10 France though three
of them were also written by q German and one by

that the cXigcncies OF the season will permit the

~ ITALI1N CAREER.

Benedett0 CairoiS career. pIematmely closed
by death near Naples, has demonstrated the
efficacy of what NAV be described as Italian
Opportunism in counteIacting republican i'm
pulses. lie was one of Garibaldis military
comrades and political followers, taking part
in the Sicily campaign and advocating the
establishment Of a republican form OF govern
ment in reunited Italy. member Of patii
otic family that sent FIVE SONS TO fight the
battles of liberation and unity, he had a sol
diel'S contempt for political compromises and
Radicals ardent aspirations for popular
revolt against monarchy and Papacy. 1t is
one Of the curious anomalies Of Italian pol
itcS that a man Of action, swayed by demo
cratic impulses and attracted by cOmmunistic
theories should have gradually accepted the
monaWhical system and have finally become
one Of the most influential and loyal Ministers
of the Crown Garibald remained his ideal
Of the heroic period Of revolution but Depretis
was his political mentor in educating him for
the practical responsibilities Of public life and
in overcoming the radical tendencies of his
earlier career. He learned to identify his re-
publican aspirations with the dreams and
aspirations of Il past generation, which was
stocked with genius for action in creative
stage Of the nations history. Practical pol
tics required hearty recognition Of the mon
archy as national institution and laborious
consideration Of a hundred questions OF finance
administration and party management. OPP
portunSm. as taught by that adroit master
DepretiS converted him from republican ways
Of thinking to Ministerial views Of governing
Italy in accordance with the demonstrated
facts Of domestic politics.
As Premier Carroll ranked with Depretis
himself rs a successful tacician who cOntrived
to marshal Il majority from the shifting fac
tons on the Government side. and introduced
much legislation of a progressive and liberal
character In Parliament after Parliament
the factions Of the Left, while Outnumbering
the Right three or even four TO one were hope
lessy divided among themselves; and the art
Of government consisted in piecng together a
Ministerial combination that would have suffi-
cient support 60 obtain votes OF credit and
conduct the administration. CarOll'S several
Cabinets had perhaps more stable and I'M
swcrving support than those of his rivals, and
this result was due as much to the respect in
which his character was held as TO his con-
summate TACT in dealing with men. As a
legislator he was more resolute and uncOm-
promising than Depretis, his downfall from
power being caused by the persistence with

1BOUT THE GREAT CAPITALISTS

l. if true that more than three-iifths OF the
wealth Americans save is owned by lOOOOO
na,sops As Mr.. sherman asserted THE IRIB-
I'VE has submitted some facts 10 show that 1t
was not "The Christian Union" not submit
+;no . single fact thinks the evidence mean
incIess y because. though the number OF farm
ers is large. few persons may own the greater
par Of the acreage. The suppoStion Is due to
Ignorance Of results Of the last census. which
moves how that property was divided. As
the question is Of large importance, bnel re-
view of the facts may be profitable.
Farms not exceeding 600 acres cannot be
worth moie than 81 10000 each, As rule since
in the State having the highest average value ol
farm land that value was but 500 per acre.
The largest farms moreover. are nearly all IN
States or Territories where the average value Of
land is low. and very few if any, are so located
as to lie worth per acre a. much aS the average
value of farm lands in the same states or Ter
litories But farm Of which the land alone Is
not worth more than ~ 10000 Is not one oi the
sort which THE Christian Union" SupposeS 10
evi>t The census makes it certain that less
than so OOO. 600 acres and probably not more
than $4,000. 600 acres in all, can be in farms
Of more than l 600 acres each.
The farms less than three acres each may be
recLoned AT not less than one acre; those oil
three and less than ten may be reckoned at SIN :;
those of ten and under twenty at fifteen; those
of twenty and under fifty at thirty-hve and
those cf fifty and under 100 at Seyenty-hVe'
So far. because the number Of farms is increas-
ing with each increase in size, no one ac-
ouainted with such computations will question
that the estimates are below truth. The farms
between 90 and 500 acres each embrace the
great number Of 100 acre tracts and 1t may De
mat the average is therefore not greater man
$50 acres. but for safety it may he refhoned al
200. and the farms Of 800 and under l'OVo
acres may for the same reason only be reckoned
at 500 each. Thus calculated, the acreage in
farms of different sizes appears to have been as
follows:

Bodies of victims of the Johnstown calamity

debris produced by the food, two being
brought to light yesterday. 1t is altogether
likely that large number would be uncovered
if the sand and rubbish were thoroughly over

ment noted comes the report that the men en-
ployed by the State to do the work of renova-
ton are about to be withdrawn. When the
State undertook the task it was expected that
it would be done in the most thorough manner

The aggregate of acreage in all farm LANDS
was $50. OSI 83j. so that at the most liberal
estimate possible the acreage remaining TOR all

than 31.435.SCO acres. Taking the lowest eS-
innate possible for the small farms, they APP
pear 10 embrace more than eeven-twelfths OF
the whole farm land Of the United States. If
it be said that many small farms may be con
troled by one capitalist. the answer Is lha'
about % 600 600 acres. at all events, or three
quarters Of the entire acreage, was in farms Oh
less than 1000 acres actually worked by
their owners, and 63,0OO,000 acres more

ton Of the figures is possible which Will make
il appear that any small number Of individuals,
100 900 or less can own As much or get the
lions share Of the income from as much as one
eighth Of the acreage in farms.

states bonds over $4,000 each. Yet for years
this had been the favolite resting place for the
resources Of large capitalists. Mr.. Vanderbilt
sold out railroads in order to keep $50, 600, 600

But there were only 997 persons besides Mr..
