Prosperity does not seem TO agree with
the Italian Socialists. They appear to be
undergoing the same process as the Left
underwent when it came into power in
1876, after years of opposition. The Zan-
arielli- -GioliIti Ministry was scarcely
formed, with the help of the Socialist party,
before the rank and file of the Socialists
began TO grumhle at the action OF their
leaders ana to suspect them of longing for
ministerial positions. After the riot of Ber-
ra, toward the end of June. some sections
of the party broke into open revolt. Sgnor
Turat, one of the leaders, censured the ex-
tremeT Socialists, whom he denounced as
''anarchoids:' the Extremists made an at
tempt to overthrow Signor Turati and
forced him to quit the Mlanese Socialist
organizat tion. which he had founded. A
new Turatian ASSOCIATION was organized,
and for a time the struggle between the
two groups was extremely fierce. Anxious

ing Committee of the party inte:vened and
arranged that the two hostile groups should
bers as could prove themselves to be true
and authentic Socialists should live happily
together in new association. says the Lon
don Post. This was done, but the affairs
of the association are not in a satisfactory
state.
Signor Turati denounces the "anarchoids''
as violently as before. and the "anarchoids"
attack Signor Turati more venomoysly than
ever. Each faction has its own journal,
and between them they seem to satisfy the
Milanese appetite for Socialistic literature.
that the circulation of the central party
organ, Avanti. is seriously diminished.
Meanwhile neither of the Milan correspond
ents of the Avanti has ventured to report
the proceedings of their comrades. with the
result that the central party organ, in re-
ply to pressing inquiries why It has said
nothing about the Milanese dispute, has
had TO publish abstracts from the organs of
the rival factions and to leave its readers
to form their own conclusions. All this
creates an impression that the italian So
cialist party. which was united in adver-
sity. is suffering severely from over-pros-
perity.
While these things are being done in the
North, the South does not present spec
tacle of much greater concord. The Neapo-
Titan Socialists, who have Just won their
