The Relations Between the Italian and
American Governments.

Rome, May 5.-In the chamber Of dep
uties today, during the debate on the
Foreign estimates Baron Blanc, minis
ter of foreign affairs, said in regard tc
the conditions imposed upon Italian
emigrants: 1--WE are In negotiation with
the United States government and
have the satisfaction to announce that
we have found the authorities at Wash
ington to be most anxious to cooperate
with us, with the view of protecting
our immigrants from the snares Of the
so-called agents and bankers at ports Of
arrival, and to put them In the way OF
embarking in profitable agricultural
pursuits. We hope to attain the same
result with Mexico, whose government
appears to be well disposed" Baron
Blan then proceeded to refute the asser-
tion Of one of the deputies, who claimed
that the New Orleans affair nearly led
to the dispatch of an Italian man-of-
war to the United States, saying:
THE barbarous lynch law, falling up
on innocent Italians, unfortunately in
terrupted the friendly relations existing
between the two countries, and serves
to the profit Of the illegal assassins
which prey upon our emigrants / be-
lieve the restoration OF harmony will
have the effect of delivering Italian emil
grants from the local tyranny and that
10 will direct them to new fields of agri- |
cultural and colonization"

The newspapers friendly to silver are
urging Congress- to pass free coinage
bill as soon as 1t oonvenes in December.
The Omaha Herald says the friends Of
silver in the present Congress should
make . determined effort to pass such Q
bill and send il to the President for his
signature. II the President approves
the bill then silver will be restored TO its
former standard; If he vetoes IL the issue
of 1896 will be before Us.
The Democratic party sustained an
overwhelming defeat at the late election.
Its overthrow was due to the dull times,
which political economists attribute to
the adoption Of the gold standard. A
free coinage measure would materially
improve the condition Of the people. 1t
would enhance the price Of every product
Of the farm and factory, increase the de.
mand for labor, stimulate enterprise, put
more money in circulation and restore
general confidence. That being generally
understood the veto Of such . bill would
make the free coinage Of silver the para
mount issue Of the Presidential campaign
of 1896 and the party that opposed il
would go to the wall in spite Of the mil
lions of Wall street.-Carson Appeal.

An analysis Of the vote Of ell the States
on Nov. 6 shows that over one-third OF
the voters did not exercise the right Of
suffrage. A comparison Of the vote OF
1894 with that Of 1892 discloses the fact
that there has not been very large Re-
publican gains in the States east Of the
Missouri. Democrats in many Of the
States kept away from the polls and did
not vote At all.
Professor Waite, the statistician, has
ascertained from the returns that over
1000, 900 voters did not avail themselves
Of the right Of suffrage. This lack Of in.
terest in the election is attributed to hos.
tility or lack Of faith in the present ad-
mi~nistration. In New York State alone
the registered vote was 400, 600 short Of
what it should have been. In Michigan
and other States the total Republican
vote was no more than in 1892, but the
Democratic vote was much less. 10 many
Of the Western and Southern States the
Peoples party vote was greatly in excess
Of that polled for Weaver and Field in
1892. In some States the Peoples Party
vote increased several hundred per cent
In California the vote for Webster for
Governor was about 100 ger cent greater
than that given to Weaver in 1892.
There is general dissatisfaction with the
old parties in many Of the States and the
third party is drawing heavily from their
ranks. In New England and New York
the disaffscted did not vote, while in the
Western States many who did vote cast
their votes for their party candidates.

party and broke up the solid South

A cable from Minister DENLY TO the
State Department at Washington says,
Port Arthur fell on Nov. %, after eight
cen hours hard fighting. T~hirty-two
Japanese torpedo boats made . concerted
rush upon the entrance Of the harbor Of
Port Arthur and at the same time the
Japanese land forces attacked the place
from the rear, while . heavy artillery fire
was poured into the Chinese forts. The
Japanese infantry then stormed defense
after defense. The Chinese resisted
fssbly. There were . few hand to hand
fights. but finally the Chinese became
panic stricken and the Japanese carried
everything before them.
Another dispatch from Shanghai says
the third Japanese army, which left
japan Nov. 20. has been sent to attack
Wei Hal Wei, where . portion Of the
Chinese navy remains. This dispatch
adds that the place will be easily cap
tured, ~ the Chinese soldiers who are
encamped for its defence 81 Chi Ii are
DESERVING in thousands. The whole place
is said to be in . state Of utter collapse
and confusion.
The capture Of Port Arthur by the
Japanese is looked upon as . death blow
to China, and il Is now believed that the

AssarLrNe THE BALLOT LAW.

When the Australian Ballot Law was
adopted in California it met with deter
mined opposition. The bosses and polit-
ical manipulators all fought it Just as
they did in this State.
Once II passed the Senate Of this State
and the political bosses killed II in the
House. 1t has overthrow bossism in
Nevada as il has overthrown ID in Cali
fornis.
Regarding the effort to oppose the
Australian Ballot in California the Sacra.
mento Record Union says:
There is . surprisingly sudden and OPP
posed assault upon the reform election
law among certain Of the party press.
Has bossism found the law such . STUN
bling-block in its way that ii Is necesss-
ry to remove il in order that old time pc.
htical slavery may be re-established J
Let the enemies Of the system take coun.
sci Of wisdom and withhold their hands.
The people are too strongly attached to
the independent system Of voting to now
give IL up. The law needs one or two
modiications-no more. There should
be . placing Of tickets in parallel col-
umns on the ballot, after the manner Of
the Indiana method; there should be
liberty to choose clerks Of election
boards irrespective Of residence. so long
as il is in the county. With these
changes. and some needed improvements
in the tally sheet ruling and numbering,
the reform law will be about as near per.
feet as is possible to human institutions.
OF course. when the perfected voting
machine is brought out. ID may render
ballot sheets wholly superfluous. The
machine cannot make . mistake; the
voter sometimes does with the rubber
tipped stamp.

PERIO ps OF DEPRESSION.

In this country we have Q period OF
depression at the end Of every ten years.
Il .s hard to tell why this is so, but since
the panic Of 1887 this has been our ex-
perience-ten prosperous years and then
one or two years of hard times.
There is no reason for believing that
this proportion lie about TO be reversed
and that we are going to have ten years
OF depression followed by one or two
years of prosperity. On the contrary,
all the signs Of the times indicate . gen.
eral revival Of business and industry.
The men who control the money Of the
country have recovered from their scare.
They see that even during the past two
years il has been perfectly safe to buy
city real estate or loan money on il to
the extent Of . third or half Of its value,
and they have noted the fact that money
invested in cotton mills and other enter
prises in the South has yielded . profit,
to say nothing Of the many other lines
Of business in the country ct large.
All this has gone . long way toward
restoring confidence and reassuring our
capitalists. They are now convinced
that no political party proposes to drive
the nation into bankruptcy. In Wall
street there is already . better feeling.
and men with money to invest are max
ing . great many inquiries about the
South. The capitalists of the East have
ct last come to the conclusion that the
greatest development Of the future will
be in this region, and they are getting
ready TO turn their money loose and send
it in this direction.
Ii is safe to say that for six or seven
years to come there will be . steady in
crease Of business. Then overconfdence
will stimulate speculation. aud for two or
three years there will be flush times and
o succession Of booms followed Of course
by another era OF depression.
This has been the usual course Of events
10 the past. and nothing has occurred to
cause any radical change. The thing for
the average citizen to do is to put in his
beat ticks for the next ten years. and
save something to tide him over the next
period Of hard times. for our periodical
panics may be expected until . broader
and wiser national policy reforms our
financial system. and gives us q short
route to the far East through the Mica
ragua canal and reaches out for the trade
Of the Spanish-American countries.
When We once get control Of the foreign
markets which should be ours it 10 posi-
