HE ONLY DaIlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Italy's Difficult Problems.

For some reason Italian politics has never greatly interested the people of the United States. When the country was unified, and Rome became it's capital, in 1870. public attention was attracted to its affairs, but since then few have studied it's affairs, or taken interest in the its efforts.
 It is a constitutional monarchy, possess ing. universal suffrage, and the theory of it's government calls for two parties. very much as the English constitution does Government by party is in fact the dream and hope of the world. Two well balanced parties is the best hope of any well gov erned country. Russia, China and Persia are4of course excepted. Italy has advanved slowly in party government, but the Right and Left are gradually meeting the desires of the founders of the new king dom. As in France, however, there are many groups in it's parliament, and these at times lead to sudden and unexplained changes in its ministry.
 In general way the Left stands for radicalism and the Right for conserva- tisu. The Left contains all the clements opposed to- the monarchy, including the ir- recent elections somewhat strengthend the enemies of the monarchy, and there Is a continuous agitation in the country in fa- vor of republic
 This motion is perhaps promoted by the abstention of loyal Catholics from politics; for it should be remembered that the Pope and the government of Italy do not recog- nize each other The Pope claims temporal power in Rome and the papal provinces but the claim is in abeyance except in the ory, and the monarchy and the Right suffer from the strict abstention inculcated by the Pope. Under the law of Italy the Pope is considered an independent sovereign hu'ihS ONSr lne pdldce or the Vatican, the right to receive diplomatic agents, 10 appoint bishops, and to be sus- tained by annual grant of S645, ,OO0 But the Pope considers himself a prisoner, and refuses to accept the sum named He de- mands a restoration of his temporal DOW CT. This cannot be granted without a downfall of the Italian government and even an Italian republic would not help the papal demand.
 The practical effect of the papal troubls is to weaken the conservative Right, and to build up the various groups that make up the radical Left. In this way the gov ernment is to some extent weakened, and party government becomes difficult; but there are no reasons for blieving that revolution will bring in q republic. A quiet era :n which economy and peace will pre- vail is much needed in Italy, and this could be had if the relations with the holy sec could be put on better basis.

OBTAIN the remainder OF the outsssnd-

Mr.. Swain evidently is q man of money

about 1856 $50 of city bonds which he
is not in possession of.
Mr.. Swain has now about $50, 600
of city bonds and his desire to acQ uire
tho remainder of them shows how

he WAS also told that the city clerk
does not know at present exscIly who
