RUIN OR WITHDRAWAL THE SOLUTION Unless T He Compelled to Go Int Status of AMairs In That Poor y Leaves the Alllance She Wil ankraptey— Country, Copyrighted 1592 by James Gordon Bennett.} Pamis, April 16.—[New York Herald Cable—-Special to Tue Bae. | —You will re- eall what I have said many times in the last threo months, that politics in Kurope are not run by sentiment, but iu the interest of financlers who creato crisises. Financiors in some countries are moro important than all the political combinations which may be made. In lovely Italy is a proof of the truth of I' YEAR. what I say. About threo days ago Minister Rudini handed his resignation to the King. The news was unexpected to the public at large, but those who are 1n the inner and se- #re] circle of politics knew thrae months ago that the existing situation was daily becom- 1ng more difficult. Whon last weok theajonts of the Italian minister of finance had not been able to placo Italian treasury notes 1 Paris, London or even at Berlin, even at a 1088 of 15 per cent, a crisis becamo inevitable. If 1t wero a question werely of un ordinary mimsterial crisls the situation would be witaout importance. One minister goes and another takes his place, that is all. But it is a changing of the whole political aspect on a credit of 15,000,000 live for new guns. That was the sum demanded by tho min- ister - war and retused by ths minister of fin It Italy continuos to increaso her ar._ament she will be doing only what tho other mombers of the trinle alliance are doing, but if she increnses her armament it will be but to draw necarer to France. Its armament means absolute ruln to Italy, but King Humbert has given & personal pledge to Kaiser Wiihelin that he will not abandon his allies while the Italian pation does not cemand a better. Ha is try ing to bring about a better political method, but evidently does not succeod. Everybody Needs Money, It is not necessary to be perfectly familiar with politics and finances to seo that Italy cannot stand an increase of tuxation. The custom house system, which is bad, pro- duces less than was expocted and poverty Increases, The great Roman princely fami- lies aro ruined. Prince Sciarra is almost a bankrupt. He secrotly sold his pictures sgaiust bis will. Louws, prince di Bor- ghes,, lives 1 tho country. His wholo fortune, which is inalienable, consists of 12,000 francs whea formerly tho income of the Borghesi family was 1,000 a day. he fortunes of the Bougeoisie are also diminishing. Seven hundred Roman fumi- Jies sold their horses and carriages in 1801, 60 did tho same thing in the precoding yoars, besides property in homo is losing its value. Numbers have sold their houses be- cause they have no tenants and can no longer pay thor taxes, and especially is this true of tho now quarter. From tho provinces emigration is iucroas- ing more and more. Irom the northern provinces 1t has grown ten fold in the last year. 'Tho peasantry ars fleoing to t Argentine Republic, in spite of the oficial waraing. They say they profer to risk the gloomy situation in thut country to staying o dioof hunger in their own. & Denrly for Glory. This unfortunate condition of affairs 1s caused simply through Italv becoming part of the dreibund. She is forced to increaso his armament continuall spendlug #300,- 000,000 in @ year more than she ought o in order to play tho role of great military power, Roeassuring Itatians, ava they are many, quite understand tho necessity for a change of policy. The peoplo also want o change. Pho republican party is beginuing to grow. It declares that Italy ought to give up the German alliance for tho Freach alliance. Nevertheless tho policy will not be changea guless the country has been, completely ruined or untit King Humbert can say o the emperor of Germany that Italy cannot go on arming unless Germany foots the bill, If Gormany does not hand over some cash, ana shois not in posiuon to do so, the alliance will bo disrupted. Uatil then the unfor- tausate Italian peoplo must go ou paying the pipor aud must sutter, in the new condition of Europs the tend- ency of nations s more and more to divide futo two classes. The humbler classes are pacific nnd the upper classes warlike. The king ana queon of Italy and their whole court and sarroundings bsloag to what I term the muitary party. Taey always stand by each other, it is 8 quoestion whether the situation will bo broken before or after the noxt war. It isnot necessary to pray that Ttaly may go into bankruptey, for that would bring the absolute ruin of too many poor poople, but ou tho other hand At Italy would only give up the triple alilance It woula be the making of her, for then a war would borendered still more difeult to ia- nugurate. As she will not, aud as financial cmbarrassment isat band, the other solution s laevitable, Rumors and Gossip, « Rumors consequent on the presence of the ‘#0 v Buglish ambassador in Paris ere afloat. It is said that Lord Dufferin has put in ¢ culation & rumor to the effect that there is a coldness between F'rauce and Russia. Noth- ing has happened to disturb the alliance, even if the czar is going to Berlin, as it1s #aid be will. He will give sufticient guar- ntee to tranquilize the mind of the Freuch public, Little Bulgaria is beginning again to make herself heard. After having givon evidence of wisdom for six mouths, Miuister Stam- bouloff demands that the porte recognize Prioee Ferdinand. He demaunds what is coutrary to even treaty. Bulgaria ought to be aquelched by somebody. Itis not neces- BATY 0 pay much attontion to this matter Just now, but dificulties are always possiole Wit a people as restless as the Bulgarians.

The assassin, having emptied his revolver, sprang into tho fleoing crowd wielding his bloody sword and slashed right and left, dan- gerously wounding many. Thocrowd parted in terror and the assassin, having reached the street, started on & run, and soon van- ishod. All efforts to capture nim so far have been unavailing.

He Cannot See An Need for Maintalning ent Navy. April 16, —After routine business the housa went 1nto com- mitteo of tho wholo on the naval appropria- tlon bill. Holman of Indiana addressed the houso oppositiou to that section 1n tho bill provid- ing for tho building of additional war vessels. Ho criticised the appr priations made for the construction of the navy during the past fow years, aad for the maintenanco of the naval establishments. He asked who was domanding s great navy! Who was asking forit! What class of our INDAY MORNING, people! What was the omergency that re- quired tho expenaituro of this vastsum? What was the reason for tnis building of new shipst Of who wero the gentlemen afrald, Mr. Holman said that our vessels which had been so successful in former wars wero builton the spur of the moment and in case of another war this process could bo re- peated. He contended that in @ orief ‘spaco of time American in- genuity and American industey could improviso vessels that would wnip any ship of any navy of the world. Tuc people who wishéd for a plain governmont would not aporove of the policy of taxing them for a navy which was boyond their neods. Mr. Fellows Wants a Good Navy, Mr. Fellows of Now York was glad that tho issuo had been drawn on this _question. He hoped the country, through its repre- sontatives here, would 'becomo compelled to placo itself on rocord at once and forever as to whether it desired to stop the work which was dosigned to sustain the honor of the tlyg, protect the hocor aud digmty of the Amcrican navy and which was a messure of truer economy than oy other that could before congress.

Count von Waldersee by negotiations carried on, partly through ex-Court Chaplain Stoecker and partly airectly, found 0a all sides that the conservatives would accept notaing less than areturn to a policy in which the clerical control of education shall be the loading feature. Tho influenco of Stoecker with the con- servatives is stronger thun ever. He in- duced the party to give a place on their pro- gram to their anti-Jewlsh poicy, which bad been kept far in the background since the emperor’s dismissal of the pastor. This ro- vival of anu-Semitism has received n strong additional imgetus from the evi- dence 1n & lMbel action, during the course of which the president of tho Berlin municipal schdol board was called upou to testify. His evidenclo disclosed the fact that out of tho twenty-four members composing the board thirteen, or a majority, were Jews and the rest sguostics, and that all of .them co-operated against religious teachiug in the schoojs.

The sum of the position, therefore, is that whea the Reichstag and Landtag reassomble the government will boe confronted with a strong conservatism and centrist majority in both parliamen- tary bodies, Tho ministorial weak- ness will produce two immediate results. Tho introduction In the Roichsiagof the now military bill, adding 63,000 wen to the army, will be postponed and the question of the salary of Count von Eulenberg as presi- dent of the Prussian ministry will bs dodged in tho Landtag by giviog him the ministry of the interiot, The North Gorman Zeutuug denies the ex- istonce of a new miltary bill, Scmi-oficial communications giyen to Lhe press boforo the government decided that a aenial of it would be politic announced the measure, of which the most strikiug proposal is that thoamount of service shall only be two yoars.

It is the oldest and strongest association of its kind in the world, haviiga membership of nearly 280,000, distributed throughout the United States and Canada, The objects and aims of the order may be more fully stated as foliows : 1. To unite all white male persons, who are over 1 and under 50 vears of age, regard- less of national, political preferences, or reli- izlous belief, into a fraternal brotherkood. 2. 'To give cquul protection to cach of its members; to improve their mental, moral and social condition, and 1o inspire them with a full uppreciation of the realitios aud respensibilities of life. 3. To adopt such secret work and means of recognition as will enable them to labor together in unison and harmony. +4 o hold lectures, read essays, establish bpdrjes, and encouraze research in art, and literature, 0 creato funds for the purpose of aid- inits members during sickuess or other dis- ability, and generally to care for tho living and bury its dead. 0. To pledge its membership to tho p ment of a stipulated sum of money to such beneficiaries, under its laws, and regu- lations, as_each member, while living, may designate to receive it. It will thus bo seen that the objects and aims of the order aro of such a character as must commend tho society to every mtelil- gent and thoughtiul person, Under its “Plan of Operations" section 4 givos tho fraternal relationship of tho crder as follows: The hichest aim of human so- cioty must ever bo the attamment of peace, narmiony anda good will between man and man, The order realizes that the basis of all fraternal fellowship must ever be tho law of love. “‘Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do you cven so to them.” With the golden rule as tho basis of all law it teaches the divine doctrino of the brotherhood of man. Itrealizes that strength, solidity and success can ouly bo the rosult of a united brotherhood. ‘o this factor 1t looks for suc- cess in the futurc as in the past. lrom Maige's rock-bound shores in the east to Californiw’s Goldon Gate in tho west, from the realms of Outavio's Frost King in the north to Georgia's suuny soutbern clime, the banner of tho order streams, and under its protecting fold countless thousands are kuit together in tho indissolublo bonds of frater- nai love. The Ancient Orderof United workmen has been in successful operation for twenty-three years. This tong period of time has fully tested its merits and stability. It has passed through the crucible of formulating uxperi- ence to the reiined and sohd substance. It has now over 5,000 subordinate lodges with a mnavership of nearly 250,000, 1Its financial system is a rodel of accuracy, simplicity and completeness. Monthly published statements aro required to bo made in each jurisdiction every month showing a detailed account of all receipts aud disbursements, so that each fully informed as to all financial ctions, thereby preveuting fraud or misappropriation of funds, Tha amount paid to the beneficiaries at the death of a member is in cach caso $2,000. ‘I'ne assessments are $1 each, and aro levied on tho first day of the month, when neces- sary, and must be paid on or before tho 25th day of the month. In this way every mom- ber knows on the first of the mouth and how much he is required o pay during the month and has ampls time to mako tho payment bo- fore the last day of grace, and as tho date of expiration is always the same ko can always protect umself from suspension. “Ior every hour the sun shines the Ancient Order of United Workmen pays out §1,000, or 12,000 every day, or $4,350,000 per anuum, ‘Te mantle of “its “protection enfolds more than 2,000,000 men, women and children, and covel ,000 homes, " Born of the established reputation and public confidence in the fraternal orders, assossment life insurance companies made their demand upon public attention about 1850, Properly- they may be classed as “a haif-way house” between the old liners ana the fratornal orders.

Imeswef = R :SM WHAT WILL HE Do Home Scoretary Matthew Has a Perplexing Question to Pass Upon, SET MRS, ANUMB SHALL HE OSBORNE FRER Strong Pressuro Brought to Bear Upon Him From Both Sides, HE WILL CATCH JESSE IN ANY EVENT No Matter What Happens Ho Will Bo See verely Criticized in England, SHORT EXPLANATION OF HIS POSITION Besceched by the Woman's Friends for amuned in Advance by the Public for Favoring the Poople, [Copurighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennatt) Loxvos, April 16.—[New York Herald Cablo—Special to Tne Bek. ) —Another storm is gathering over the dovoted head of Home Secrotary Matthows, It is pretty well known that ho has made up his mind to re- leaso Mrs. Osvorne on tha ground of the danger to her life, which would be caused by ler accouchment in prison. A number of tho most eminent medical mon in Kogland have signed u memorial, pleadiog for a romission of ler senteace, and Matthows is un- derstood to be extremely unwilling to take the rosponsibility of having Mrs. Osvoruo die in jail. You can easily imagine tho outery which has alroady been rvaised. If Mrs. Osborae had buen a poor woman, without all this influcace at her back, she would have beon mado to serve out Lier seutenco like anybody olse. ‘Thore is gao law for the rich and another for the poow For other women 1n the samo positioa a3 Mrs. Osborae no cousideration 18 shown and so the 1indictmout increases in length, day after day, anda Matthews finds that whothor ho oxercises clomenoy or whethor he doos not, be is equally expesed 10 a whirlwind of obloguy. Then there comes in anothor question, which will ba severely pressod if Mrs. Os- borae is sot free. Why was not Mrs. Man- tague,whoisalsolooking for accouchemont at about the same timo, released! On what ground can any distinction be made? Not of the nature of the offznce, for that has noth- ing to do with the application for mercy of his friends. Mrs, Maybrick is likewise lamoring her reloase, not for procisely the same reason, but on the grouna of general health, Thus anybody having friends with money may contrive in the course of a short timo get prison doors oponed for them, no matter how black thelr guilt may be, ver- nict of thajury and tho sontenca judge, not- withstanding, bocause of a more matter of form in the *“dispansing powor,” and in the back ground money, a thing worth taking into consideration, Matthews as n Man, Secretary Matthews is a conscientious man, certainly not unduly opan to outside influences, no matter frowm what quartor they may come. Ho is not a favorite with the House of Commons or with hig party, yot whenover his conduct has ‘beon publicly challonged he has bzen able to silence his accusers and to prove that he took the right course, excopt, periaps, in the trumpery cuse of Miss Cass, when hoshowed a want of tact. Butin refusing to yield to dictation frsm tbe press or from fussy busybodies he has always :done his duty, and has gained tho approbation of tho public. ‘I'here was a coavict named Lipski, who was condemned to death for a peculiarly brutal murder, The newspapers lod by the Pall Mali Gazette, got up a tremendous cry and managed to produce what they called un- answerable proofs that Lipski was not even in KEugland when the crlme wus committed. Tho man was hanged. Matthews was denounced as a murderer, He made no answer, except to produce Lips ski’s full confession of the murder, with & descrintion of every detail. 'fals confession was signed at the very time the Pall Mall Gazotto was proving the complete innocencs of the condemned. Tho result wis 9 shaking of public confidence 1a 2owsnupor verdicts, ‘Tho home socretary would always profer not to interfere with thosentonce of the law, whatever it may be, but sometimes new facts como to light after the trial, which, had they been known to judge and jury, would have caused them to arrive at a difforent conclusion, Then it is sdmitted that the home socrotary ought te interfere, sinee it is lmpossible for tho person cone demned on a erlminal charge to demand s new trial. w in this Osborne case no new facts bave come to light, but Secretarg Matthews is pressed to aunul the sentonce oy the ground of humanity. He is in & Tight Place, Everybodys’ right feeling must sce that he 1s placed in @ position of greatdificulty, If he turns a deaf hear to the appeal for mercy, aud Mrs, Osborne should die in prison, he will be most bitterly assailed, 1f heorders her releafe, it is ulready evident whatis in store for him, What Is the rulo in cases of this kina? It is that when woinen are so wear accouchement as that to keep her in jaii would be virtually to prolong her sens tence. She is released, but this reason can- not be assigned to the instance of Mrs, Os. vorne, Her friends are naturrily anxious that the stigma of baving been born in prison sbould not rest on her child, but can a minis. terof the luw take any cognizance of thaty The answer is not as & minister, but as u man, In rocalls, a reply once made by the old duke of Wellington to George 1V, “As @ gentloman I caonot do that" the king had said, *'but'* urged the duke, ‘‘your mujesty is not & gentleman”, g The king repeated the words in amaze= mott, *‘No," suid the duke, “you are not a gens tleman—you are king of Buglaud.” That will let the light with which Mattoews will be called upon to turn on the requisition of the emineut physician. Ho s noL a man. He is home secretary and has vo right to interfere, on the grounds of Luman- ity, with the adwinistration of justice. Still, 1tully expect to see Mrs. Osborne released, A MeMBER OF PARLIANENT, —_— Big Cattle Mun Killed, Desver.
