criminal misuse of official documents, butt in
this particular his plans miscarried. Mean
while his enemies have not been idle, the
Socialists alleging through their newspa-
pers, on the testimony of former prison
official, that orders were given to treat po-
litical prisoners with peculiar rigor. Some
of the evidence adduced on this point is of
revolving character, and the Prime Minister
has been challenged to test the truth OF 1t
by prosecution for libel.
tits not only the Socialists and their near
est friends, the advanced Radicals, who de-
test Signor CHisPI on account Of the drastic
severity of tho measures by which agitation
is repressed. A lnrsc section of the Liberals,
also, are convinced that for Italy there is no
hope of escape from bankruptcy until the
whole foreign and home programme, to
which he is committed, is upset. They hold
that the obligations which the Italian king
dom has assumed toward the other men,
bers Of the Triple Alliance, are entirely
beyond her strength, and that an in
stant and trenchant reduction OF the
standing army is the fundamental con-
dition of the countrys extrication from
its financial straits. They contend, like
wise, that the expenditure for political pur-
poses of great sums upon public works,
which offer not even q remote prospect Of
becoming lucrative, must be summarily
stopped; and that, on the other hand, the
all-pervasive corruption among the func-
tionaries engaged in the collection Of taxes
must be remedied without delay, in order
to avert a further shrinkage of the public
revenues 1t is not new taxes that are
needed in Italy, even to sustain the existing
burdens, but an honest, impartial collection
of the imposts and duties already imposed
by statute.
We shall know on Monday morning the
result of the first ballotings, which may be
inconclusive. The second ballotings will
take place on Sunday, June 2, and the new
Parliament will meet just eight days later.
The sun., 1895-05-25

The general election which will take place
tomorrow in Italy is one of exceptional in
terest, for on its outcome depends the fate
of Signor CRIsPI and of the whole foreign
and home policy which he has long personi-
fled. On the one side stands the Prime
Minister, strong in the jealous support of
his sovereign and the sympathies of the
Berlin and Vienna Governments; armed,
moreover, with all the engines of intimida-
tion and seduction, in the use of which prac-
tice has made Italian politicians perfect.
Against him is arrayed powerful coalition
made up not only of such Liberal leaders ms
RUDINI, GIOLITTI, IANAEDELLI, and their
followers, but Of all the Radicals and So
cialists. Only about half of the registered
voters, however, will go to the ballot box,
for nothing has come of the attempts to
prevail upon the Vatican to permit the
Catholic abstainers TO take part in the cleo
tions. On the contrary, the prohibition
originally put forth by PIUs IX has been
recently reaflirmed by LEO XIII.
1t will be remembered that Signor CRIsPI's
opponents in the last Chamber of Deputies
seemed at one moment on the point of over
throwing and disgracing him. The effort
made by Signor GIOLITTI in December to
implicate the Premier in the banking frauds,
appeared SO likely to succeed in view of the
threatening attitude of the popular branch
of the Legislature, that King IIUMBERT l.
had recourse to the eXpedient of proroguing
and presently dissolving Parliament, with
the result that Signor CRIsPI has been for
some five months virtually dictator. Ac-
cording to parliamentary precedents, new
general election should have been imme-
diately ordered, but this was deferred until
May 2o on the plea that the electoral lists
needed revision. The opposition newspapers
assert that the methods of revision EN-
ployed have been glaringy unfair, the in
tention to disfranchise the largest possible
number of intractable voters being scarcely
disguised. In the interval, moreover, dur
ing which he exercised almost unlimited
power, Signor CRIsPI endeavored to convict
his chief assailant, Signor GIoLITTI, of a

The Presbyterian Real Estate Specu-
latiOn.

The new building for the Presbyterian
Home and Foreign Missionary boards. at the
corner Of Twentieth street and the Fifth
avenue, will cost. land and all. according to
the estimate of the Rev. DIR. ROBERTS, one
of the officers, between 81 ZOO, 900 and ST.
100000, He estimates that 1t will yield an
income from rents of four per cent. on the
principal, give free accommodations to the
two boards, and furnish handsome
annual remainder for sinking fund
for the extinction Of the mortgage. In his
Judgment, the prospects of the specula-
tion are So good that permanent investments
of the societies which are without condi-
tions will be "safer in the Presbyterian
Home than in houses and lands" and they
should be used to pay back the money bor-
rowed for its erection.
Undoubtedly, if it was safe and therefore
justtiable for the societies to borrow mil
lion dollars on mortgage in order to go into
the speculation, the building is good in
vestment for such funds. If it is not suffi-
cient security for them, and will not bring
them in return of interest as large rs they
can get elsewhere with security, the So
cieties were false to their trust in risking in
it any of the money intrusted to them for
religious uses.
If, however, it is going to yield 80 much
from rents as DIR. ROBERTS predicts. it is too
expensive building for their own offices.
He estimates that they will get their accom-
modations free; but that cannot be SO. They
will really pAS for them the amount they

could rent them for to other occupants; and
IL the res. OF the building can be rented ms
readily as he assures the General Assembly,
their space also must be in demand; and in
justice to the contributors It should be made
profitable rs source Of income.
Religious societies, such as they are, do
not need offices in n costly building in the
Fifth avenue, with correspondingly high
rents. The situation and the imposing
structure, desirable as they may be for
some kinds Of business are not at all requi-
site for them. They can manage the homo
and foreign missions of tho Presbyterian
Church not less efficiently in stu
alton where rents are much lower.
They do not need the advertisement
OF elegant and commodious offices. They
are not like traders who must have their
places Of business in situations eligible and
attractive for customers. They are as we'll
Off so far as the management OF the Pres
byterian missions Is concerned, in q side
street and in humble but sufficiently large
offices, as they would be in the most expen-
sive neighborhood of the town.
II, then, these missionary boards occupy
space in the new building, which would
yield larger amount of rent than they
would have to pay elsewhere for suitable
quarters, they will be indulging in culpable
extravaganza. II 1t is not such extrava-
gance, their real estate speculation at the
corner of the Fifth avenue and Twentieth
street will not be as successful venture as
DR.. ROBERTS predicts.
OF all money administered by trustees
that which comes as the contribution Of
self-denying piety should be used most
scrnpulously. The most economical of So
cieties should be religious boards like these.
They should not spend penny unneces-
sarily. They should not subject money in

"A Living Picture OF an Associate
Justice.

We know by Gen. BoYNToN's testimony
why Mr.. JOHN NJ. HARLAN went to Louisi-
ana in 1877 in behalf of R. B. HAYES. He
went in order to earn by political service the
place in the Supreme Court which he now
occupies. Before he started, he asked Gen.
BoYNToN to find out for him whether Gen.
BRIsTow was in his way, and he told BoYN-
TON that he hoped to get to the bench by
Infringing about settlement of that very
annoying and embarrassing question to the
President"
Now, what was the job which this schem-
Sng politician undertook for the purpose
specified'
The Louisiana question was indeed an an
noying and embarrassing question to
HAYES, as HARLAN remarked to Gen. BoYN-
TON. HAYEs's friends had got him counted
in by pledging to certain Southern Demo-
Gratis, in return for their acaues-
cence, his aid subsequently in over
throwing the Republican State Govern
ments in Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. The case of Louisiana was by
far the more difficult; for PACKARD's title,
fraudulent though it might be- was better
than HAYEss. IT. had required the disfran-
chisement of n less number of citizens by
the Returning Board to count PAcKARD in rs
Governor, than it did to make the fraudulent
majority for several of the HAYES electors.
For HAYES to abandon PACKARD, according
to promise, and to help establish NICHOLS
and the NICHOLS Legislature, was to con-
fess to the world that HAYES himself was a
Fraud in office
HARLAN did the job. PACKARD was stiff
in the position he took, namely, that his
title was as good as HAYEs's. The present
Justice of the Supreme Court, however, and
his associates in this unpleasant errand,
managed to break up the quorum of the
PACKARD Legislature, by seducing from
their allegiance number of the cheap and
corrupt gang who had until then adhered
70 PACKARp's fortunes. The ostensible con-
sideration was guarantee from the NICHOLS
Government of their full pay as PACKARD
legislators, with bonus in cash. There
were other nasty details to this job; angry
scamps TO pacify, dangerous accompices in
the Fraud to buy into silence, witnesses to
hush, documents to obtain and suppress.
or Mr.. HARLAN'S activity in the subter-
raneous work at New Orleans we get several
necessarily imperfect views in the testimony
before the POTTER committee Of 1873. Here
Is a specimen:
JAMES +. ANDERSON, Supervisor of Reg
'istration for East Feliciana, held certain
documents which afforded damning evil
dence of the Fraud. One was the original
of the sworn statement made by himself
and ID. A. WEBER, Supervisor of West
IfellHiana, declaring that tho election in

The Controversy Over tho Bible.

The General Assembly warns the students
of the Union Theological Seminary that
they will not be admitted to the Presbyte-
rian ministry; but the professors of that
school, with the exception of DR.. BRIGGS, are
allowed to remain in that ministry, though
they are responsible for the infitlel in
struction because of which their pupils are
thus boycotted Moreover, the Assembly
has just reelected the President OF the
seminary's faculty, and one Of it's Board
of management, to the direction of one of
the most important of the Presbyterian
societies for the dissemination of the Gospel.
This is altogether unfair Why should
the pupil be punished, and his preceptor,
who taught him his infidelity be allowed
to go unpunshed, and even be rewarded
with post of great honor and influence in
the denomination The doctrine that the
Bible is fallible and open to human crti-
cism is not held by DR.. Briggs alone. 1t is
the foundation of the whole teaching of the
school. So far as it is concerned, all the pro-
fessors are in the same boat yet all of them,
DIR. BRIGGS alone excepted, are still Presby-
terian ministers in good standing The
young men who sit at their feet and receive
their lessons, are debarred from the min
istry, but they are still admitted to Presby-
terian pulpits, and suffered to propagate
those teachings which the General Assembly
has pronounced heretical and blasphemous.
Accordingly, the Union Theological Semi
nary is Indifferent to the boycott of its
students. 1t will go on with the same
teachers teaching the same doctrine, and as
1t is we'll endowed and is backed by some of
the richest men in the Presbyterian Church,
1t has no fear of the consequences. These
cannot be very serious, for the General AS
sembly's inconsistency in enjoining the New
York Presbytery to reject the pupils of its
own ministerial members as unfit for it's
ministry because of their Instructions will
destroy the force Of the commandment
Students entering this seminary will have
good reason to feel safe, SO long as they are
under the protection Of professors who are
supported by wealth and influence, which
the General Assembly is afraid to offend,
and which the New York Presbytery will
be no less anxious to conciiate.
Practically, therefore, the rule adopted at
Pittsburgh on Thursday can amount to
nothing. How can it be enforced without
bringing about the split in the Presby-
terian Church which the General Assembly
shows determination to prevent, even
at the sacrifice of consistent principle?
How can professors of theology honorably
remain in the ministry of church, which
disqualitles their pupils for that ministry,
on the ground solely that they have been
under their instruction?
So far from the Presbyterian controversy
over the Bible having been settled by the
orthodox majority in all the General Assem-
blies held since it was started, it is, there
fore, in its beginning only. The rebellion is
as active as ever. and it has been stimulated
rather than discouraged by the course pur-
sued at Pittsburgh.

There is surely a big boom for McK1NLF

There is surely n big boom for MCKINLEY
in that chivalric story quoted into THE SUN.
Upon leaving his hotel in Columbus, he walks
toward the Capitol, halts before reaching it,
faces tho hotel, courtcously lifts his hat, and
bows reverently to his wife. after which he pro-
ceeds slowly to his Office. 1t is as pretty a story
as could be told. 1t has an air of living romance
about it. Yet 1t is not tale of the olden times,
or OF some distant land, or of any Spanish cava-
licr. 1t is Of Brother MCKINLEY. 1t is of Co.
lumbus. o.
We say there is q boom for the Presidency In
it. twill help him with high-toned Americans,
married or single. 1t will help him with wom-
en-. whether wives or spinsters. 1t will help him
in New York and in the sunny South. It cannot
be regarded as anything against him in the
wild and woolly West, not even in Colorado,
certainly not in Utah, which Territory will be a
State with a vote in the Electoral College before
the next Presidential election. 1t may make
Ohio n unit for him. What are mere political
divisions, anyhow?
What VIC fear is that, since tho story has got
out and been put into THE SUN. the Governors
manners may be adversely affected. For crowds
of the people of Columbus will hereafter gather
at that spot near the Capitol every morning to
take glance. If this shall have the effect of
discouraking him, SO that he shall give UP the
pretty custom, the booming of his name for the
Presidency in succession to GROVER CLEvE-
LAND will surely suffer blight that will mako
