The public charity and donation and
hospital and all that has taken the

To the unfortunate man, the man

,worshippers are discussed before the

relegated to the rear and the sumptu-

Like a swarm of rats in barrel Of

QUESTION of the longest pocket books.
The successful politician is the one
who gets there, no matter how thick
his path is strewn with broken prom
ises, betrayed confidence, repudiated
contracts, foul ISLANDERS, unblushing
fraud, and once he is seated in the
high places of government brains and
beauty and integrity and piety all bow
to do him homage. The judgment is
upon the surface and there is no
equity about 1t.
The time has come when on account
of these things the revolutionary spirit
is abroad in this country. Rich men
defy all ordinary measures to make
them amenable to the laws. Taking
refuge in the purchasable power of
wealth they monkey with legislation
and so secure judgment of the courts
as to increase their own immunity
from taxation and at the same time
increase the disabilities Of the labor
ing classes and those of moderate
means. The speculative capital of
this country pays virtually nothing
to the government 1t runs riot with
every industry and makes and I'M
makes values at will, but defies the
power of government to control it or
render it tributary to taxation. The
discomfort arising from the accamu-
lations of wealth, under unequal laws
continues and rise to a roar of revO-
lutionary ferment.
This eternal and growing disregard
of the equities in every walk of life
is demoralizing the whole nation
is on the increase. Dis
regard of obligations grows more and
more apparent. Reputation is the
watchword of vast political organiza-
lions. Seeing how wealth creates

ITALIANS TO CELEBRATE,
Fireworks and a Procession Will
Commemorate the goth of
September.
The Society of the Bersaglieri Takes
the Lead in Marking the
Event.

The Italian colony is preparing cele-
bration for the twenty eighth anniversary
of the taking of Rome, which occurs on
Sunday next
The Society of the Bersaglieri is at the
head of the celebration, though the Italian
school committee and the committe to
aid the poor are also actively participating
in the preparations, ana a programme to
occupy the entire day has already been
drawn out. As the 10Th of September falls
on a Sunday there will no doubt be a great
many people able to take part who were
last year prevented by their daily avoca-
tons from sharing in the festival.
The festivities will begin with parade,
in which all the civil and military socie-
ties in the colony will take part. The
procession is to start at 10 A. NJ. from the
Sala dei Bersaglieri i; it will traverse Stock
ton street, Broa dwav and Montgomery
avenue. after which it will return to Union
street, proceeding thence to Harbor View
PARK, where the literary and oratorical
exercises are to take place. Two speakers
are to be chosen, one in Italian and one
in English, and the presidents of the three
societies which are arranging the festival
have been given absolute power to chose
these two orators. The Italian Consul,
OdN. O6TId, 10 W dll0nQ tn6 C6I6DTdLlOH
and the president of the day will be Signor
Venagia, president of the BersagIieri
Society.
1t has been decided to have tombola
at Harbor View with prizes of 5000, 500,
$50, etc. All the proceeds, both of the
tombola and the rest of the celebration,
will be divided equally between the poor
of the colony and the Italian school.
In the evening there will be a grand dis
play of fireworks in Union Square, with
allegorical figures of the taking of Rome,
Porta PA, etc, while band chosen for the
occasion, will play appropriate music. The
day will end with bali in the Sala del
Bersaglieri.
All the committees for the celebration
of the Goth of September have already been
chosen. The reception committee con-
sists of J. F. Fugazi, A. Sbarboro, G.
BaZurro, Captain Baglietto, G. Musso, G.
Vensano, G. Caglieri, j. Sala, Yacconi,
Postiglione, f. L. Belgrano. Martinoni, F.
Cayagnaro, and all the Italian doctors,
lawyers and druggists in the City.
1t is expected that if the coming cele-
bration of the twenty-eighth anniversary
of the taking of Rome does not surpass
the celebration OF last year, at least it will
not be inferior to it.
The three presidents, E. Venaglia, P.
Barbieri and A. Zabaldano, have issued a
spirited circular calling on all their COM
patriots to aid in making the celebration
a success.

Reports That President Elect Mckinley
Is Not In Favor OF Annexation.


WASHINGTON, Nov. Elf the advocates
of the annexation Of Hawaii expect that
President Elect Mckinley will send to tho
senate the treaty which was arranged by
the Harrison administration, they will
probably have to wait some time before
their hopes are realized
A well informed diplomat states that he
is satisfied the president elect would not
take any precipitate action in regard to
Hawaii
He has learned, he says, that Mr. Nc
Kinley is not i'm favor Of the treaty as it
was drawn and that before he will recon-
mend the annexation of the islands a re-
quest must come from the Hawaiian gov
ernment in a new form and in a manner
which viii show that the masses of the
Hawaiians desire union with the United
States When this is well established by
means of a plebiscite, the question win
then be fully considered whether the citi-
zens Of this country desire control of
Hawaii in the form Of annexation.

BUFFALO. Nov 2L-The jury in the
libel suit of ex-Asscmblyman Schoepain
of Buffalo against State Senator CofIey of
Brooklyn brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff, awarding him $4,000 damages
Justice Childs granted stay Of proceed
ings pending en- appeal.
The suit was for f50,O 900, the plaintiff
asking for $4,000 each for slander and
libel. During the trial the court ruled
that the slGnder charge could not be main
tained. and the trial continued on the libel
charge.
Senator Coffey was accused Of indirectly
charging gcx-Assemhlyman Schoeptlin with
accepting a brihe in connection with legis-
lation at Albany. In April 1895, bill
was introduced In the legislature which
was known as the Hudson river ice bill.
1t repealed certain old laws ard gave to
one ice company rights which it took away
from others. II leaked out that Mr. Nache-
ron had accepted an alleged brihe Of 3d.
600 for fixing the bill in committee.
The bill was killed, and after some investi-
CATION the grand jury OF Albany county
found an Indictment against Nacheron.
Coffey was charged with having said that
Schoepdin also had been indicted.
