ITALY'S POWER.

Sunny Italy is making itself con-
spicuous just now. For centuries 1t
lost its military ascendancy, and from
ruling the world has been divided into
minor. insignificant governments.
But of late years it has made consider
able strides in the pathway of national
advancement. and bids fair to be re-
coonized in the no distant future as
a p3ver once more in European mat
ters. Even now, she is not to be
scorned. In an emergency she can
mt into the field of war an army of
two millions and half, besides fifteen
thousand men to deal out death and
destruction from her formidable navy
of one hundred and seventy-six war
vessels.
The United States navy is scarcely
worthy the name considering the size
of the country, and its immense coast
line. and there Is no question but
what italy with her mighty iron clads
could deal this country fearful blow
before it got fairly INTO fighting trim.
But as it was in the war Of the kevo.
luton, although our navy then was
miserable concern compared with that
of England, the patriotism of the
American people was more formidable
than the oak Leviathans Of Albion. s.
now. once The sons of the west are
aroused to martial duty, the mixed
races OF tile peninsula had better cal
a halt. King Humbert had better
listen to the songs Of Metastasio thar
Yankee Doodle; to the Lay of TassC
than tie Star Spangled Banner.

With him reason, morality and the

Certain rules. however, have to be
established and recognized as just,
and the parties interested in them are
expected not to violate them in order
to secure permanency Of peace and
friendly relationship.
The profits arising through the mu-

Our readers will remember that Italy
recalled its ambassador the other day
because, as Italy thought, the United
States government did not, in It's
opinion, exercise its functions in a
manner to bring to justice and punish
ment those who took such an active
part in the killing at New Orleans.
The action of Italy in this matter
shows how little it understands our
method Of dealing with alleged vio-
lators of the law.
1t was not the object OF this article to
discuss the position taken by Humbert
and his advisers, but merely to briefly
allude to the rights of aliens. the ac-

generally taken when friendly rela-

government can not look upon the i'm
