Parlous Times in Europe.

According to cable advices. order is
again the order Of the day in the king
dom of Italy and the recent uprisings OF
the people clamoring for bread n work
have been put down. The best obtain
able news put the casualties incurred
in the suppression of the mobs by the
bullets and b%ayonets of the troops at
over 600 killed and wounded. The army
remained loyal to the crown; had this
been otherwise, it is believed that the
king would have been compelled to alb
dictate. The starving peasants, how
ever. will not be kept down long, there
will be other uprisings and mob violence
and the time for these is not very far
off, although outward tranquility may
be maintained for some time and the
end put off. But the beginning of the
end in Italy is there and it has come to
stay. Looking other European con-
ditions over, it cannot be said that the
continental powers are in a very happy
frame of mind. Indeed quite the re-
verse is the caSe.
Austria is in very bad straits and the
strain is growing greater and more
tense daily. How long that totterins
conglomeration of ~nationalities and races
can possibly keep together. is a ques'
ton of but a few years. Hungary is
chatting for liberty and its W govern
ment and the Magyars will have this
before long. The remainder of the EN-
pire may be gobbled by others or may
remain under the dominion of the played
out house of Hapsburg, but that matters
not. Austria's days as a first class power
are short.
Dissatisfaction with the corruption
that ~pervades every branch OF French
government, though now a%pathetic, is
profound. There is reason for believing
that the government is contemplating
the world-old expedient of foreign ad'
venture in order to divert the deepening
wrath from itself.
German socialism, under the policy Of
repression, is more active and resentfuI
than ever, and is growing in bitterness
of temper. Explosion of all of this
strain and stress was threatened through
the example that popular success In
Italy would have supplied. The crisis
may thus be passed, but the disease re
mains. The times be parlous, indeed
but full of interest, fully as much so, al
are the incidents of the American-Span
| iSh war.

When I had thanked the woman for a

"To be sure, but a man can't fight a

"No, l reckon not. Jim went out and

Should Keep His Mouth Shut.

1t does seem as if some of the Ameri-
can college professors succeed in max
ing all kinds of fools of themselves.
For instance there is Professor Charles
Elliott Norton, of Harvard. Why this
learned individual could not keep his
mouth shut and draw his very good pay
in silence and not let the world know
what sort Of animal he is, is not easily
explained. In commenting on the pres
ent war he, a few days ago, said among
other things:
SIT is characteristic of the American
to be trifling. The American people are
going into this war without q serious
thought of the reasons or of the conse-
uuences. 1t Is not unnatural that this
should be so. The majority OF the
American people at best q look back
only q short distance to the traditions
of civilization. They have acquired the
varnish of civilized life, but their ma
lures have not been refined"
To be sure why this highly civilized
being remains in this country and lives
on the dollars furnished by these say.
ages here is not easily understood
He then went on and said:
"Some time ago l said to II of my
classes that they would meet very few
gentlemen. There are very few rea'
gentlemen in the United States. The
Americans have no fine sense of honor
they cannot distinguish between what
| is honest and what is dishonest. l fee
with Sir Horace Walpolc that | coult
be proud of my country If 1t were no
for my co%untrymen.'
OF course 1t is very tough and hare
on this country that the professo
should hold these opinions, but why il
the name of everything that is good
does he not resign and go to some coun
try of which he a be proud. No on
here is holding him back by his Goa
| tails.

There is crashing of teeth and wall
ing among the shop keepers in Paris and
throughout the pleasure resorts and
watering places in France generally.
The cause for this Is the loss of the
American tourist trade which during
recent years has brought many millions
Of francs into the pockets of French
merchants and tradesmen. hotel people
and the like. The French are very
much incensed at this country for going
to war with Spain and still more so at
the fact that many Americans are stay
ing at home this year and that many
others have gone from France to Eng
land, where u sentiment. friendly to
Americans, now prevails. The French
trading classes consider themselves
greatly injured and much damaged by
the American-Spanish war and are filled
