VATICAN AND STATE
INSFCRfT COMPACT
Italy and the Church Enter Into
Understanding to Defeat
Socialist Party


ROME, Oct. 22.-The political situation
IN Italy in regard to the general election
set for Nov is such as to cause serious
alarm both at the Vatican and at the
Quirinai The Socialistic movement has
made enormous strides in the last few
years among all classes. While it has for
its apparent purpose the bettering Of the
conditions of the working people. in reality
it threatens the very foundations of mon
archical institutions and the existing or
der of things.
This year, since the dissolving of parlia-
ment and the setting of the date for the
general elections, all the extreme promi-
nent parties have come together The So
cialists have united with the Republicans
and Anarchists to get a majority in parlia-
1nent, with prospects of success.
Deal With the Vatican
Fearing the enormous majority of the
Socialists among the voters, the govern
ment has entered into secret under
standing with the Vatican by which some
Catholics of monarchical proclivities will be
allowed to run for parliament in districts
where religious lines will form the princi-
pal issues of the campaign. The present
overthrow the existing cabinet and sub
stitute a Socialistic ministry through a
majority in parliament, which could OBJ
struct all legislation.
The recent general strike ordered on the
pretext of military interference in disputes
between employers and employees was only
a forerunner of what the Socialists intend
to do at the elections. The leaders, many
of whom are now candidates, claim that
their followers and sympathizers are so
numerous as to insure for the party a large
majority in the election.
Fear Money Losses
The governments principal hope of sue
cess lies in the fact that nearly all the
wealth of individuals and institutions is
invested in government bonds and many
who otherwise might support Socialist
candidate will be deferred from doing so
because a revolution or the overthrow of
the government would lessen the value of
such securities and rob thousands of their
incomes.
The Vatican authorities are doing their
utmost to prevent Socialist victory fear
ing legislation adverse to the church, es-
pecially regarding the religious orders and
religious teaching in the public schools.
For this reason they are readily agreed to
give the government all possible help, not
withstanding the long feud with the Ital-
1di dutllorltleS regarding leI1pOId1 power.
May Spur Socialists
Many fear that vati tan intervention in
italian politics will Increase the efforts
of the Socialist party, whose members bit
terly oppose the church and religion.
Even many Christian democratic asso-
Citations which have recently been srebuked
by the Vatican for attempted independence
are making common cause with their
brethren in the Socialistic field and unless
energetic measures are adopted by the
church authorities this contemplated ac-
tion of the Christian democrats will great
ly swell the ranks of the Socialist and ex-
tremist parties in opposition to the pres
ent government and to the monarchical re-
gime.

peoples interest. The best remedy that
can be applied to the combinations or
trusts, which owe their existence to ex-

be effectively applied as against the other
combinations is to enforce the law. That
the remedy can be made effective by an
administration disposed to enforce the

of that branch of the law. 1t is not

to prevent an immediate revolution in

The Democratic platform points out the
true method when it demands "a revision
and a gradual reduction of the tariff by
the friends of the masses and for the
common veal and not by the friends of its
abuses, its extortions and discrimina-
tions." I pointed out in my response to
the notification committee how gradual
reduction of the customs duties may be
accomplished without disturbing business
conditions, and / adhere to the method
suggested But the work should be un
dertaken at once in the interest of the
whole people And it can be undertaken
only by the Democratic party. The Re-
publican party viii not attempt It. The
country does not need such a revision as
the friends of the tariff want As they
do not wish revision downward there will
be none in that direction while that party
can prevent it. Any other revision will
not relieve the masses. And it is to their
relief that congress and the president

The truth IS that the tariff beneficiaries
and the standpatters have abandoned ar

protective tariff is a good thing per Sc

they mean the present Dingley tariff. So

found in the tariff commission on 1888.
They said that reduction or duties was

the price of the article to the consumer
fails of its object and purpose as regards
producer. These bounties are piling up
mountains high. They are paid by the

Girl Marries Man Who Found
Her Pockelbook


DENVER, Col. Oct 22.-Little did
Miss Minnie Sawdey dream when she dis
covered the loss of her purse on the
pike at the worlds fair that she would
marry the man who found it, but such
proved to be the case, and she became
the wife of E. E. Sawdey, bearing the
same name. but not near relative.
Miss Sawdey is the daughter of Frank
Sawdey, once a preacher, but for the past
few years farmer, owning a ranch four
miles out from Eongmount. Col She left
her home for a visit to the worlds fair
two weeks ago, and shortly after her ar
rival she lost her purse on the PIKE. 1t
contained all of her money, her calling
cards and the address where she was
staying in ST. Louis
The next morning after breakfast she
was informed that gentleman wished
to see her. Sawdey was there with the
purse.
The similarity of the names made them
acquainted, and strong friendship resulted.

Man Bites Into a Peach In Which Bee
Had Made Its Home

YORK, Pa. Oct. 22.-Herman H. Flick
Jr.. of Hampstead, Adams county, went
into an orchard near his home yester-
day, plucked peach from a tree and bit
1t. He did not observe that there was a
small hole in the peach, and that there
was a bee in the hole
The bee stung Flick on the inside of
the mouth near the root of the tongue, and
the tongue and mouth are now so badly
swollen as to threaten death by suffoca-
ton.
Fifteen minutes after being stung Flick
fell into a stupor. His entire body is
swollen His throat has become so swol-
len that he cannot talk and the jaws have

for the people Of the Massachusetts
Bay colony. The ship dispatched to
Ireland had not returned, and it was
believed to have been lost. Ground
nuts and acorns were the daily bread
of the poor. A meal of fish was feast.
Women followed the tide to pick up a

children from starving. One Of the de-
voted women has left letter saying:
"Our last peck of meal is in the oven
at home a-baking, and many of our

the governors invitation without one

Plenty of Good Things to Eat.

Housekeepers in quest of inviting
viands for their Thanksgiving
tables, will be puzzled to make a
selection from the fresh array of
vegetables in line at all of the
markets. Rutabagas, parsnips, sound
white turnips, highly colored carrots
and hard, wintry looking hubbards
repose side by side with onions from
home and If desired larger ones
from Bermuda, cabbages, good
sized beets and fat celery stalks and
cauliiower. Spinach holds on with
the fair weather and will be well
coined as out of the usual run of
Thanksgiving vegetables.
The very mention of the winter
apples, the cider, nuts, cranberries
and fruit that serve as accompani-
ment to the foregoing list, make the
gourmand CHEEKY with prospects of
a table groaning with delicacies.

Thanksgiving bird. Garfield did not
live long enough to celebrate the day
in the home of the presidents. It is a
testimonial keenly relished by Mr..
Vose that, while turkeys are sent to
the president from all over the coun-
try, the Rhode Island bird is the one
most often selected by the chief magis-
trate as fit sacrifice to the spirit Of
the day.
Despite the prominence the president
receives in connection with the turkey
and Thanksgiving day, the day Of
thanks is far older institution than
he. George Washington took the chair
as first president of the United States
on April 30. 1889, but 1853 years before
that historic day the day of thanks
had its birth.

Governor Bradford may be said to

the entire colony, those four men, and

gathering at that first Thanksgiving
dinner must have been a remarkable
sight. If the Indians Of the loyal and
trustworthy Massasoit were vivid in
their own gala attire, the quaintness
Of the garb of the English colonists
surely furnished most effective and
even dramatic contrast. It is safe to
say that Governor Bradford himself
was stately figure, because dignity
and quiet elaborateness of sober but
rich costume seemed to have been al
ways possible to the grave men who
stood in the front Of their stanch fol-
lowers in those days. A society re-

costumes worn, would make mighty
interesting reading for the people Of
