In q farewell address to tho Secular So

that sho has recently received several COM

that there now oxist in the remotest rocssses

Mr.. HoDGsoN OF the Psychicnl Society. whom

Savoynrd dynasty, and everything to gain
by frank and close alliance with tho
French republic Tho true solution of the
Vatican question Is, they say, the substltu-
ton OF u federated system for the monarchy
which has In vain attempted to fuse Floren-
tines and Lombards. Siciians and Pied
montcse into a single homogeneous nation.
A federal republic formed upon the Swiss
or American model would recognize section
nj interests and deeply rooted differences Of
race, usage. and Institutions. while ut tho
same time itwould provide adequate guaran-
tees for the collective defence against foreign
aggression. In such au Italian confedera-
tion the whole or II part Of tho territory
formerly belonging to the Papacy might
figure as one OF tho constituent States.
political change of this sort Is, accord
ing to the Paris newspapers, not only
practicable but Inevitable, should tho
Franco-Russian coalition be successful in n
war against tho Triple Alliance. For tho
popularity Of tho house OF Savoy would
not survive defeat in such n contest.
Signor CRIspI, In an article lately contrib
utcd to tho Nineteenth Century, admits that
tho unity OF Italy IL inseparablo from tho
mnlntcnance OF tho Savoyard monarchy. II

bic. Oncc n Jealous Republican himself, tho

n federal republic as n pretcXt for rcvivng
tho popc's temporal power Onco recon-
structed, tho Papni State would lean. no
says, upon foreign allies rather than seek
an intimate union with its italian
neighbors. and. consequently. tho federated
system would soon break down. Where
Sgnur CRIspT differs from tho Paris news
papers Is in regard to the ilrmncss OF the
house of Savoy'5 hold upon tho Italian pco-
pie. lie asserts that there IS no widespread
feeling in favor NJ n republic in Italy. and
TIM, loyalty to King lIrMBERr would not b,
shaken by the defeat of the powers bound

An Astounding Blank in History

The Hon. WILLIAM NJ. SPRINGER, whose
good fortune it has been TO distinguish him
self sufficiently among the Illinois Demo-
Gratis to become their leading candidate for
Speaker, has with one sentence. IL the re-
porter Of tho Chicago Tribune has not
deceived us, swept ull mystery and uncer
tainty from the strangely mixed and eccen-
tiic election of 1890.
~. the last election meant anything"
says Mr.. SPRINGER. it meant that the peo-
pie OF the United States repudiated forever
the protective theory Of the tariff"
Then the election meant absolutely moth
ing. Instead Of continuing to serve IA u
basis on as n cause for partisan speculation
upon the future it must cease to live, even
rs Il "Reminiscences. As for having any re-
lation to the sitution Of today or to general
theories of politics. or being worthy Of II
record for the higher uses Of history, it was n
Hat and entire nullity. Beyond the practical
result of putting the Hon. THOMAS L. REED
out OF tho Speakers chair and robblng him
OF his Irresistible majority in tho House,
which Mr.. SPRINGER applies as n common
tary does not admit Of tho understanding
that there was anything else in It.
Fortunately for Mr.. SPRINGER, his public
services were visible and recognized long
before the hiatus in our moral and intel.
lcctual evolution into which apparently he
converts the campaign and election OF 1890.
