Special Correspondence of the Gazette.
ROME, March 27.-Although the towns
along the south coast of France had been
growing dirtier and more dilapidated,
and the people swarthier and lazier and
smoother tongued, we were conscious of
a distinct change when we crossed the
line into Italy and drew up at Venti-
miglia. The line of cabmen had feathers
stuck in their hatbands; two pompous
officials in cooked hats and long capes
thrown Roman toga fashion over one
shoulder marched abreast up and down
the platform, and crowds of tattered
loafers were standing around. You may
talk of loafers in every country, but for
loafing that really is loafiug give me the
Southern negro or the Italian. Loafing
seems business that is easy to become
proficient in, but this is q superficial
view to take of the subject. 1t is
easy to distinguish the man who
only gives half his time to it from the
professional; there is a restless look in
his eye, he shifts his position, he wants
conversation to divert his mind. But be-
hold the accomplished loaferi He stands
serene on one leg with hip projecting, or
he leans against q wall, every muscle re-
Taxed that is not necessary to keep him
upright. There is no nervousness in his
feet; he needs no diversion; he resigns
himself to nature like cabbage.
But, to return to Ventimiglia, we
found all the third-class citizens migrat-
ing and had TO take our places in line
of unsavory ragamufins. The ticket
Office is only open some twenty minutes
before the train starts, and this is some
times very awkward, for you are not al
lowed in the waiting-room without your
ticket. You must know the exact fare,
and have the change, as the ticket man
viii take as much money as you lay
down; he Is so poor and SO badly paid it
is wrong to tempt him. It is hard TO
realize that a man in such position is
not perfectly reliable, but We have
LEARNED IT TO OUR COST.
There is q strict code of etiquette
among Italian porters. II certain
porter casts his eye upon your luggage
it seems to be understood by the others
that he has pre- engaged it, and 1t is in
vain you plead with ally other one to
touch your vRlise; he will say; Il think
you have a porter,'' ana walk of, so
you might as well fold yonr hands till the
self-elected one appears. No. 22 took
our luggage to the waiting room, and
then mysteriously disappeared; porters
were standing around, the train came
in, everybody went out, but no No. %
appeared. We searched wildly, We in
quired of everybody, and at last No. 20
was prevailed upon TO put us in the car.

kissing is one of the matters so familiar
to our thought that we seldom think of
it. Before we can remember We were
the daily, even hourly, victims of kisses
we neither asked for nor enjoyed, for
although 1 am quite sure my own
mothers kisses must always have been
soft and tender as her sweet
self, there was the boisterous old
"mammy' who nursed me, and all the
train Of nursery officials and visitors
whose ample lips no doubt often pro-
duced startling reports close TO my baby
ears; and then, older grown, can even
now remember the wounds to my baby
dignity as one and another jovisl guest
ut my Southern home would snatch me
from the floor and kiss me, in spite of sill
my struggles, while his mustache put
out my eyes and his beard rasped my
tender cheek. AS with me, so with you,
helpless infancy, crushed beneath
the weight of unwelcome kisses, and
have most of us, especially the boys,
passed from this condition of passive en-
dUrance into one of active opposition,
wherein, If the jovial gentlemen tried TO
sisze upon US we escaped from the room,
or IL the angular old maid asked, in dull
Get tones, tWon't you come and kiss
me pet?" we boldly replied, "No, 1
Il; hate to be kissed, - or some
such courteous phrase.
Then comes a time, let us say with
boys from seven TO seventeen, and with
girls from five to fifteen, when kisses are
considered as damaging to the dignity
and manhood depressing the boy, and as
matters of ridicule and sentimentality 10
the girl.
Extreme youth, as we all know, is q
very hard and unsympathetio season of
life; ''He laughs at scars who never
felt wound, - and the boy and young
girl generally consider 1t a FOOLS para
disc wherein they are a great deal too
knowing TO find enjoyment. They
don't cry, and they DONE kiss;
If some older sister or cousin grows thin
and pale, and sets up a hectic cough
upon some disappointment of the affeo-
tions, the boy extols masculine sense as
opposed TO feminine imbeciIity, and says
many brilliant and severe things upon
the inferiority OF the female intellect.
The girl discusses the matter from q
standpoint lofty and cold as an iceberg.
"The idea of fretting because she
can I marry James! Isn't John as good,
or what e the need of marrying either?
Wait pntil my time comes, and III let
them see I'm not such softisi"
But Time, unresting Time, leads both
girl and boy through this little belt of
cool verdure, out upon the torrid plain,
and the smiling rose gardens that lie at
the foot of those weary and devious paths
that ascend the heights. The young
man and the young woman change their
convictions upon many essential
points, and at the same time grow

thing, but the air of quiet dignity, s
consciousness of history that impressas
one. No fresh business life disturbs its
sleepy brooding over. the past, only tbs
line of tourists sweeping through, and
the occasional English people who spend
a winter for the benefit of the damp, in
MIGRATING and yet mild climate. Tbs
Brownings once spent season here. The
narrow little streets are paved with smooth
stones like the sidewalks, and they are
remarkably clean, as we found them in
Genoa. Pisa was a republic; no serTils
hands and brains reared her great build
ings; she was proud, free city, and
won her glory IN victories over the Sara
Gems. Very suggestive of her Christian
zeal, and of the material Christianity Of
those days in her campo Santo, or burial
ground, literally transported in City
three ships from Mt. Calvary to Pisa,
when Jerusalem was taken by the inf
dels. The holy ground Is surrounded b!
beautiful cloisters, and in it are growing
the same grass, the same flowers thst
cover the country without. There is
something pathetic to me in the thought
of those earnest old Pisans laDOring 70
bring holiness TO their home IN the
ground Christ g feet had trodden. Poor
old fellowsl Did they find that Their
bones rested softer in that soil; that
absorbed their flesh houses more gently:
Have they learned that not only Chris!'
death sanotified one mount, but that BIS
life made the whole earth holy! We
talk about the material Christianity Of
those dayl The world is still digging 10
the dirt of Mount Calvary; burying Itself
in creeds and commandments instead 0!
rising with the living Christ as spontan-
eous human beings and incarnation'0 Oh
God?

would simply become victims of ig-
norant zeal and their lives and treas
ures be wasted"
We always thought the mass Of
patriotic citizens on both sides at
Bull Run did some pretty good
fighting.
We thought in 1912 the trained
red coat had about all he wanted.
We thought that in 1776-17S3 that
the Hessians and English trained
soldiers got about all they cared for.
But to round it off nicely. They
fear few extra dollars would be
wanted. Holy Moses! Why did
you not think of that when YOU
came to the increased appropria-
tons!
Hoist the danger signal. Let the
people know that all this means that
they are to be subjugated.
This city is full of arsenals and
troops. The cities are arming.
Night after night the drums beat
and the tramp, tramp of the military
is heard in your capital.
The plutocrats fear you. They
know you have been oppressed.
They fear you will rise in your wrath
and hurl them from power. The Shy
lock contributes to military COM
panies. Let the appropriations
pass say they. But you ask for aid
for the poor farmer in Dakota or
North Carolina and you are. told
there are constitutional barriers.
Your rights are not all gone. De-
mand of your Representatives thai
these bills for increase of the army
OF the militia shall not pass. Think
OF it. A plan is now before them for
the army and navy appropriations
that entails more cost on you than
the entire cost of the government
from 1889 to 1916. About one third
as much as has been expended on our
nav y from 1889 to 1883 is asked for
our navy alone. Demand OF your
Con gressmen that these infamous
bills be not passed.

Economist:
The National Bankruptcy Law.

Economist:
The National Bankruptcy Law.
The proposed national bankruptcy
law is exactly what might have been
expected, a measure of oppression.
It represents the ideas OF various
boards of trade throughout the coun-
try, and among it's provisions is
found this:
"Any persons owing debts to the amount Of
$500 or over may be judged an Involuntary bank
rupt upon petition OF his creditors, a part Of
them, except national banks, those engaged ex
clusivey in raising agricultural products, mu-
nicipal, charitable, literary, or religious corpor-
atons, association. wage-workers."
Read this over again and imagine
a more wicked method Of enforcing
the collection Of a claim, if possible.
In order to cover up the real object
of the bill it exempts the farmer, who
only borrows money on land or
chattel mortgage, and the various
other institutions named, in order
not to create antagonism, and ex-
empts the pauperized wage-worker
in sheer mockery at his dependent
condition. Is there a wage-worker
in this nation to-day with a credit
of $500? Search the country over
and not one can be found. The aim
of this long drawn out bill is to ex-
empt the banks from coming under
it's operation, and make them a more
potent engine of business destruc-
ton then they are at present. This
bill does not state how many credi-
tors shall petition, and subjects the
debtor to perhaps the malice of a
single person. AS it is the banks
which are usually the creditors can
terrorize all branches Of business by
threats OF involuntary bankruptcy.
1t is an attempt to force all enter
prise, of whatever character, to bow
humbly to the dictates of the money
power. This bill will probably be-
come 81 law.
The Farmers Alliances of this
county held a meeting at Slayton

Mr.. EDITOR:
Many farmers and laborers who
do not belong to organizations, on
account of the hard times, are ready
to leave the old parties and join any
movement that promises to better
their financial condition. There is q
great lack of information regarding
the economic and financial condi-
tions of the country. I think the

enlighten the people of the causes OF
their present condition than all the

The Alliance and the Legislature.

Now that the politicians are again
setting their traps to catch fools, it
will be we'll for. organized farmers
and workingmen to keep a sharp
look out for sharp lodges to, defeat
the will OF the people. A friend and
keen observer in one OF the leading
counties in this congressional dis
trict. where the Alliance is particu-
larly influential, informs us of one of
these schemes which is being matured
by the politicians Of the present
dominant party. The Republicans
will agree to give the Alliance the
candidates for members of the legis-
lature, provided the Alliance will
support the Republican county ticket.
Ii the Alliance agrees to this, just be-
fore the election an independent
legislative ticket, under some kind
of a disguise, will be sprung, and the
corporation tools of both of the old
parties will unite to elect.it, and thus
defeat the Alliance legislative ticket.
Ii the Alliance hopes to win, it must
stand absolutely independent of both
OF the old party machines. And
members of the Alliance who are
looking to some such scheme as this
to elect them to the legislature, may
set it down for granted that the poll
clans will engineer the scheme to in
sure their defeat. Let no member of
of the Alliance he weak enough to
yield to any appeal that may be
made to his ambition by old party
politicians. Organize and harmon
ize the discomfort among the people
and we can carry every county in the
state.
This we may not be able to do in
every case, but the prospect is that
straight independent, manly course,
under any circumstances, will secure
the most important results Let no
one be alarmed at the influence of
politicians All that is neces sary is
to let them alone, and in no case,
have any entangling alliances.
Whenever they see large and de-
termined body Of voters, absolutely
independent of party ties, and vo-
ting together, the politicians will be
only too glad to do their bidding.
But as long as the organ lied farm
ers and workingmen can be inveigled
into a dicker with the old party ma
chimes, the politicians will have no
respect for them, as they are shrewd
enough to understand that organiza-
tions that permit themselves to be
manipulated in this way are utterly
powerless.-Industrial Age.
New Ulm Review:
1t has often been said that LAWYERS
make the best legislators, but we
don't believe it. TO be sure they
have a remarkable faculty for pass
ing laws that nobody, not even
themselves, can understand, but.
that's about all. They succeed in
getting together as many statutes
as is possible, but only few of them
are beneficial and in most cases they
are filed with flaws, which enable
them to be perverted to suit the at
torneys and increase their business.
Further than to do this, the man CT
remarkable legal ability amounts
to little. For common-sense legis-
lation. the business man or well in
formed farmer is his better, two to
one.
