REGARDING ITALIAN POLITICS.
The Prime Minister Attacks the Pope in a
speech at a banquet

ROME, Oct. l5-At banquet given by
Prime Minister Crispi ut Palermo last
night. he made lengthy speech in which
he declared it was necessary to combat all
persons high or low seeking to undermine
the political editice of Italy. The temporal
power of the pope although it has existed
for centuries has been only the transition
period. Rome existed before it and could
continue to exist without it. Complaints
or threats either from home or
abroad would have no effect.
He declared the unassailable utterance of
King Humbert. that Rome forms an inte-
gral part of Italy, just as the law forms
part of the modern world After asserting
the, pope possessed perfect religious liberty
and was only restricted, and less harshly
than in other Catholic states, from en-
croaching upon the sphere of national
right, which is the right of reason, Crispi
exclaimed: Let the church, now free,
endeavor to frighten Promethus with the
thunderboltS of heaven. Our task is to
fight in the cause of reason.
