ITdLY'S GENERAL ELECTION

Italians are certainly the most long -suff cring
and patient nation under the sun Any other
race would have been goaded into revolution
long ago by the intOerable treatment TO which
they are subjected. In the first place. the Gov
crnmcnt imposes taxes which the people are
unable to pay, owing to the widespread distress
resulting from the disastrous economic policy
inauguratcd by Prime Minister Crisp and then
II proceeds to disenfranchisc all those who find
it impossible 10 settle their Indebtedness 10 the
State The next general election Is to take place
on the last Sunday in April, the second ballot
following week later. and ii has been csti-
mated that more than 80 per cent Of the clccto-
rate have been struck off the registers in consc-
quence of the non-paymcnt Of the qualifying
taxes. lnasmuch as all good Catholics are like
wise expected by the Vatican to stand aloof
from the contest. in accordance with the prac-
tice which has been in vogue ever since the loss
Of the temporal power by the Papacy it will
readily be seen that the vote cast on April %
will in no way represent the true sentiments Of
the Italian people as nation-all the more so

against the Government they will expose them
selves TO reprisas and persecution on The part

The history of the holding up Of the Police
Magistrates bill is given in detail in our Albany
correspondence to-day. Never since the days Of
the famous Circumlocution Office has there been
4 better example of How Not To Do II. The
men mainly responsible for non-action on this
important matter are the Republican members
of the SenaA' Judiciary Committee, and we do
not hesitate TO say that if the policy of shilly-
shally and delay is continued much longer the
motives Of some Of these men will be regarded
with gravest suspicion. Last Monday night the
Assembly. in response to Governor Mortons
message, passed the bill. Two or three days
later il was announced that the Senate judiciary
Committee would give Il hearing on ii next
Thursday. This is ridiculous. Nobody wants
Il hearing on this measure except those who are
seeking its defeat
