THE ITALIAN CRISIS.

Italy's strong man seems to have been broken
at last. He regained power some time ago by
what might be termed 'herOic measures" at
home. He has strfven to retain ii by similar
measures abroad. 1t is familiar trick in other
lands than Italy, to divert attention from do
nestle evils by foreign adventures war with
another nation, or the conquest Of new empires.
often serves to silence the Opposition and 10 rally
all factions to the support Of Government that
otherwise could not stand day. SlgnOr Crispi'S
exploits to bolster it up had he chosen to effect
needed reforms at home. He did not so choose,
but instead entered upon a costly campaign in
Abyssinia. The Opposition was not silenced nor
appeased. 1t has continued frequent and vlgor-
campaign And the campaign itself has ended
in disaster. What Is there left for him to do but
to resign!
The result Of this crisis both to Italy and to
Europe. no man can at present fully reckon.
1t will probably mean a radical change of Gov
eminent at Rome, soon followed by dissolution
Of Parliament and 4 new election. Even The
dynasty itself will be ferccly attacked. and is
authority somewhat impaired though it is prob
ably in no danger Of being oveIthrOwn But
there may be such political and social upheavals
as will shake the Italian State from centre TO
circumference If 1t is decided to abandon the
Abyssinian enterprise, the prestige of Italy as a
military Power will be hopelessly broken II 1t
is decided to go on with it, the resources of the
already almost bankrupt Kingdom will be
strained to the breaking point. Either course Is
full Of peril. Still more serious If possible. may
be the effect upon Europe at large Italy has
been kept in the Triple Alliance by Signor
Crspi alone. With him out of office that Alliance
may be dissolved or reduced to a dual league
Such a change will be fraught with great pos
sibilties Of disturbance before the balance Of
power in Europe shall be readjusted. 1t is
stormy outlook, and another tremendous object

THE DEFICIT.

BY dcfcrrng payments the Treasury again
makes the apparent deficit smaller in February
and the statement is given out that this is a
cheering sign Of improvement One Of the
perennial surprises Of the time Is the Astounding
filth OF the Treasury Department In human gull
bllity. Treasury receipts tell the story because
expenditures are now habitually pinched toward
the close Of the month to make q better show
ing The receipts in February were smaller than
In any other month Of the fiscal year, except In
November. when they were only $4,000 less
They were about s4,OOO,00O less than in Fcbru-
AIRY, 1892 and 1893, which would point to n def
cit Of about S4S,O00,O0O year. Nor Is 1t true
that the accounts correspond with official est-
mates Last December, with returns for five
months Of the fiscal year at hand, Secretary Car
Isle estimated the years receipts at S345.O00
600. and the expenditures at $685.. O0O000 The
actual receipts In eight months have been $22+,

A MODEL REPORT.

Coming Immediately on the heels OF the very
unsavory revelations concerning the business
methods which have governed the management
of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. and the
results to which they have led. the voluminous
Annual Report Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which has been printed in full In The
Tribune, may serve to point moral as well as
to emphasize a wide difference in methods Of
railroad administration. The distinguishing
feature Of the Pennsylvania report Is It's COM
pctcncss. 1t leaves hardly a single question I'M
answered that can occur, either to the stock
holder, whose relation Is personal and pecunary,
or to the ordinary citizen, whose interest Is pub
lie ard general. II has no conccalments; no eva
slons; but throws open TO public view the full
history Of the year in all Its departments. In
this respect the Pennsylvania reports have been
q model for many years. In It's operating de-
partmcnt. ts financial management and Its gen
eral policy 1t has been followed as closely as con.
dtions would allow by most OF the great sys-
tens But in the fitness Of detail with which
II set forth TO the public, wei! as TO Its stock
holders, all It's transactions, most Of the great
systems have been, for reasons best known to
themselves, n trfe shy in following 1t.
One OF the first reforms instituted by Mr..
Charles Francis Adams In the management of
the Union Pacific was In describing The methods
Of secrecy so much in vogue In railroad admin
istration. His annual reports were made upon
the Pennsylvania model, and TO an extent never
before known in the history Of the company
made full disclosure OF its transactions Its con-
dtion and it's prospects In this respect. ut least,
his administration was n long step In advance
Of any OF his predecessors In that unfortunate
corporation. The Pennsylvania Company, more
than any other similar corporation In the coun-
try, proceeds upon the theory that II is public
institution. with amenabllty to. rs well as priv
ilcges from the people. More than any OF them
II opens all its books 10 the public view. and sub
jccts all It's transactions TO inspection and crit
icsm. What Is the result: Why this: that not
only is 1t freer from criticism than almost any
other corporation on the score Of Its financial

1t has long been proverblal that dogs have their
day The progress Of events as the end of the
century approaches shows that cats, too, have
theirs. They are having 1t now at the Madison
Square Garden, and as a matter Of fact their
day will lengthen out to five days and end only
with the week. 1t was trife cold In the Garden
yesterday, even for cats. but that did not pre-
vent a goodly number Of admirers Of the feline
species from focking there to see the second
annual National Cat Show. The two expert
ments made thus far indicate that the Cat Show
will henceforward be a regular feature Of metro

The lyrical transactions OF the new laureate
are thought worthy OF parliamentary censurc.
and perhaps they are. 1t is not the function OF a
dellberative assembly to consider their poetical
qualities, but their politics come naturally under
review. and are not found in harmony with the
sentiments Of the party in power or the opposi-
ton. Under these circumstances 1t Is hardly
surprising that 1t should be considered desirable
to submit his official productions to parliament
airy censorship before allowing them to reach
the public Their metrical quality might or
might not be improved by this Intervention, but
1t would minimize their prospect of committing
the Government to embarrassing political propo-
sitons. On this side OF the water only a. languid
attention keeps step to his measures and we do
rot care much whether the House Of Commons
edits him with blue pencil or not 1t Is not
to which the Monroe any other trans.
atlantic doctrine can be applied, and the most
advanced lingo can find nothing In II to set up
screcch about. The moral of the situation is
that the bard should leave politics alone. unless
he sings to empty space on his own hook, as the
laureates used to do till quite recently.
