to Prime Minister Crispi at Palermo

low who were seeking TO under
mine the political edifce Of Italy.

tunes, had been only transition
period. Rome existed before it, and
would continue to exist without it.

part of the modern world. Sig. Crispi
exclaimed: Let the church, now free,
now endeavor to frighten Promett eus
with the thunderbolts of heaven. Our
