The condition of political affairs in

The condition of political affairs in
ltaiy promises to speedily develop results
of great interest 1t is said that the pres.
ent ministry is nearing a fall, and that
the policy of the new ministry will be to
break away from Germany and renew the
old alliance with France. Italy has been
committing mistake after mistake ever
since Sedan, but her statesmen seem to
have fully realized the sad plight of the
country only when the returns Of Italian
trade for 1888 came to be published. They
year had fallen of over 81, ,000. 600, and at
the same time Italian exports had dimin.
ished by more than $2S, 900, 900. 1t was
impossible to prevent the people from
jumping at the conclusion that this
bad exhibit was a direct result of the
abrogation of the French commercial
treaty. That the Prime Minister himself
believed the same thing, or at least
thought it good policy to appear to be-
lieve it is seen in his recent public an.
nouncement that, as far as he was con-
cerned, he would welcome any PROPOSE
tion coming from France, for q renewal of
the treaty. In the Parliament itself Crispi
had taken occasion to express the most
friendly sentiments toward France. This
does not mean, OF course, a breaking of
Oh the German alliance, but it indicates that
the Italian Government recognizes the
spreading popular sentiment against war
and the heavy taxes involved in getting
ready for war, together with the general
desire 10 avoid quarrel with France.
