SORROW does not die away With the /
echoes Of the dirge 1t will be many a /
day before the people Of Italy will for /
get the virtues of the good King Hum
bert. who has just given his life In so
unnecessary a way. 1t is such acts as
the one. which has just been committed |
that have for so long a time delayed the |
granting of absolute freedom aud re-
publican institutions to the Kingdoms
of the earth. That there is much in
the best monarchy that is distasteful
and inimical to the best interests of
the people is not denied when it Is said
that such crimes as the one of Bressi
are heirous and that scant mercy
should be shown. Unreasoning minds
may become so inflamed by prejudice
and passion that they are blind to the
fact that there is a Very great distinc-
ton to be made between the Institution
and the man who represents It,. Yet
those who have not been made insan or
malicious by false beliefs and hatreds
can see no reason Why the king who
was perhaps the most democratic in
tastes and habits of any of Europe's
rulers should have been slain by the
anarchists. His Kindness and mercy to
the poorest of his subjects, the interest
he took in their welfare and the good
he wrought for Italy might be expected
to have proved a bulwark for him
against the frenzy of the mob, who talk
of lettering the world and who seem to
have no other plan than murder and
misrule. But there is no real defence
against ignorance and the hatred
which 1t engenders and to them has

deeds of evil. He is rot like the child,
however, for he does not see how futile
are his puny attacks. Even tho the

Some of the criticisms and letters on

which he has set for himself, for there
