BREMEN, April 23.--The Emperor
William dined on board the North Ger

II ought to be borne in mind that the

TTALWs FINANCIAL CONDITION.
A Former Minister of Finance Has Some
thing to say of Ut.

NAPLES, April 29. NJ Magliani,
former minister of finance, in speech
on the financial condition of Italy, de-
clared that the deficit in the budget for
the current year would be 100000
lire, and to meet this it would be neces-
sary to raise 30, 000, 900 lire by new taxa
ton, and to reduce by 10000. 900 lire the
estimates for the army and navy.
Italy possessed many sources of pros
perity which she could utilize to main
tain her credit. Colonial activity should
not be pushed beyond the limits inn
posed by strict economy. 1t was to be
hoped that the protectionist policy
adopted by Europe would become less
rigorous. 1t was absolutely necessary
that Italy should improve her CONNER
cial relations with France.
As to the social question, M. Magliani
praised the initiative taken by the En-
peror William; but he declared that the
problem must be left to the evolution of
economic laws, and could not be solved
by empirical means

A LARGE PROGRAMWE.


The ideas of the Farmers alliance are
now pretty definitely set forth. They de-
mand the suppression of all trusts and
combinations. The patent law is con-
demned as increasing monopoly oppres-
sive to the poor. Free circulation and
coinage of silver are demanded, as well as
the abolition of the national banking
system, and the lending of money by the
general government in sums not exceeding
1000. They ask that the government
shall take control of corporations and that
the president and vice president, United
States senators and postmasters, be elected
by direct vote of the people. They op-
pose the creation of list of retired Office
holders as pensioners, advocate the reduc-
ton of salaries of ofice-holders, denounce
the Mckinley bill, the alien ownership of
lands and foreign immigration and favor
stringent legislation to prevent the adul-
teration of food and medicines.
This is a comprehensive programme and
the financial part of it alone is enough to
break down q stronger combination than
the alliance. The lawmakers of this coun-
try have done some very unsound things in
endeavoring to make money out of moth
ing, but they will not be likely to repeat
the experiment. And if any of then
should feel inclined to they have only tc
look at the experience of the Argentine
Republic to learn better.

The Crucfhxfon Nails.

One of the most curious relics preserved
in the Ashmolean museum, at Oxford,
England, is a crown having framework
said to have been made of the nails that
were driven through the hands and feet of
Jesus at Calvary. The crown itself is
embossed with jewels and gold, exhibiting
a close resemblance to the enameled work
of the present day, notwithstanding the
fact that its history can be traced back to
the time of the coronation of Agilulfus,
king of Normandy, in the year 591.
As noted in the foregoing, the portion
of the crown which is of greatest tradi-
tional interest is the framework of iron,
about three-eighths of an inch broad and
one-tenth of an inch in thickness, at
tached to the inner circumference of the
jeweled superstructure. This iron band
was made from the identical nails, accord
ing to legendary report, used at the cruci-
fixion; given by. the Empress Helena

TTrrom the New York Sum-

[From the New York SUM-
A man-of-war's man rolled along the
Bowery one night. He was a bright-eyed,
fresh-cheeked youth but he was decidedly
intoxicated, and any one knowing the pc
culiarities of lower New York could have
made wager that before going far the
young sailor would fall victim to the
wiles of some denizen of the shady locality
he was moving through. His manner of
advancing to his inevitable fate was some
what interesting. The hurdy-gurdy mu-
sic in the entrance of dime museum, to-
gether with the alluring pictures spread
over the facade of the building, was mag
netic enough to bring him to q halt on the
sidewalk, where he stood in serious cogita-
ton for awhile and then passed within the
gaudy portals. For some moments after
his entrance he was permitted to make a
peaceful survey of the freaks and the wax
works ranged about, but Just as he was
preparing to quit he was approached by q
young man who, after linking his arm in
his, said:
'sDo you see that pretty girl over there
in the cornerw
young mans eye until his own dwelt up
on asigure of a woman standing within a
smallniche in the wall in perfectly motion
less attitude.
"Yes," responded the sailor; Il see that
pretty girl"
"Well, why don't you go over and kiss
her." asked the young man.
The sailor boy smiled very knowing
smile, and brushed his hand playfully over
the face of the young man who had encoun-
| tered him.
ssThat girl" said he in thick tones, ''why
she's wax. You can't fool me, me boy. &c
kiss her yourself if you want to-"
The young man laughed good naturedly,
and asserted that the woman was not wax
but very much alive. The sailor thereup
/ on took a leather purse from his pocket
and boldly proclaimed that there wer'
| some 500 contained therein. Backed b,
that capital he would bet drinks for ever,
one present that the motionless girl in tn
niche was composed of wax. He was tri
f1e vexed, in fact, by the idea that just be
cause he was seaman it could be imagin
ed that he had never heard of people beini
cheated by wax works shows. His prop
osition concerning the drinks was accepte,
and the question as to the reality of tn
woman in the niche was quickly settled
The sailor walked over to the figure and
flinging his arms abont il, proceeded to kis
its face. Instantly he started back in
dazed way and stared at the supposed wa
| figure, which was now thoroughly anims
ted and was joining in the laughter Of th
surrounding company. Drinks were ordel

Consumption causes more deaths in this
country than any other disease, and if DR..
Koch's method of dealing with it proves
successful there will be rejoicing in thou
it is already evident that too much has
been expected, and that the first conf
dence will have to be moderated. Some
European opinions concerning the matter
are well worth attention. Professor Stell-
way, of the Vienna university, says "the
been proved, while it has not been scien-
tifcally established that lupus arises from
the same bacillus that is associated with
lung tubercles." A noted authority on
bacteria, DR.. Ullmann, writes: ''It will
take fully year of frequent injections,
besides treatment under proper sanitary
conditions, to enable one to form trust
worthy opinion as to the durability of con-
sumption, either in advanced or early
stages" DR.. Ullmann worked for several
months in Professor Koch's laboratory.
He believes the remedy promises good
results of external tuberculosis, al
though, he says, relapses must be
guarded against. DR.. Surycki, reporting
to the Medical society of Cracow, which
sent him to investigate, declares that even
the cure of external tuberculosis by the
new process is uncertain, while he sees no
grounds for believing that it will cure con-
sumption in any stage. DIR. Kraus, of vi
emma, affirms the benefit of the remedy
for tuberculosis of the bones, skin and
joints, but does not believe that it will ever
heal lung tubercles. DIR. Kraus was in at
tendance at Berlin fer several weeks,
testing the experiments. Professors
Fraentzel and Runkuritz, in their latest
report, confirm the opinion that the in
jections do not materially check advanced
phthisis. They do, however, check early
phthisis, but the bacilli may revive and
reinfect the tissues.

The increase in wine drinking and the
fact that many men drink wine to-day who
formerly drank whisky, combined with the
enormous consumption of beer, has reduced
the number of delirium tremens cases for
the physicians. 'T remember said an old
physician to Cincinnati Enquirer reporter,
"when twenty years ago had an average
of half dozen cases of delirium tremens
to treat every week. Now do not have
one o month. Men drink more beer and
wine these days, which is one of the causes
of the decrease in the number of cases of

that the whisky is SO poor to-day that q

little revolution saves him from an awful
