Financier * In some countries are moro Important than oil the political combinations which may bo inado. In lovely Italy Is a proof of tbo truth of What I say. About three days ago Minister Kudltll banded bis resignation to the king. The hews was unexpected to the publio nt large , but thoio who are in the inner nnd so- CroJJ circle of politics know thrso monlhs ago that the existing situullon was dally becom ing moro dlnicult. When lost week the agents of Iho Italian minister of tlnanco had not been able to place Italian treasury notes in Paris , London or ovo'i nt Berlin , even at a loss of 15 per cent , a crisis became inevitable. If U were a question merely of an ordinary minislciinl crisis the situation would he wltnout importance. One minister goes nnd another .alecs his place , that Is all. But It Is n changing of the whole political nspcot on a croJitof 15,000,000 lire for now guns. That was the sum demanded by the min ister war nnd relused by tha minUler ol llnr . If Italy continues to Increase her nr.amonl she will bo doing only what tbo other members of tbo triple alliance nro doing , but if sbo increases her armament It will oo but to draw nearer to Franco. Its armament means absolute ruin to Italy , but King Humbert has given a personal pledge to Kaiser Wllticlm that ho will not abandon his allies whllo Urn Italian nation does not demand a bolter. Ho is tryIng - Ing lo bring about a boiler political method , but ovidonlly does not succeed. Kicrjboily Needs Money. It Is not necessary to ho perfectly familiar with politics and finances to see that Italy cannot stand an Increase of luxation. The custom nouso system , which Is bad , pro duces less than was expected and poverty Increases. The gront Roman princely fami lies are ruined. Prince Sciarrn Is almost a bankrupt , lie secretly sold his pictures against bis will. Louis , prince dl Bor- Rbesl , llvos in the country. ills whole fortune , which Is Inalienable , consists of 12,000 francs when formerly the income of ibo Borgbosl family was 1,030 a day. The fortunes of Iho Bougcoislo ore also diminishing. Seven hundred Koman fami lies sold Iholr hones nnd carriage * In 1831 , (130 ( did the same thing In the preceding years , besides property in Home is losing Its Taluo. Number * have sold tholr housoj be cause they have no tenants and can no longer pay thor taxes , and especially Is Ibis true of the now quarter. Prom Iho provinces emigration is increas ing moro nnd more. From the northern provinces it has grown ten fold In the last year. Tbo peasantry nro llcolng to the Argentine ! Uopuhllc , In splto ot Iho ofllcial warning. They say Ihoy prefer lo risk the gloomy sltuallon In ihut country to staying to dlo of hunger In tholr own. paying Dourly lor Glory. This unfortunate condition of affairs is caused simply through Italy becoming part ot Iho drolbund. Sbo is forcad lo Increase bis armament continually , spending ? JOO- 000,009 in a year moro than she ought lo in order to play the role of great military power. Koassurlng Italians , ai'U they are many , quite understand the necessity for a change of policy. The pcoplo nlso want a change. The republican party Is beginning to grow. It declares that Jtuly ought to give up tin German alliance for the Fro-ich alliance. JS'ovorthclojB Iho policy will not bo changed Unless the country has been , completely yulnod or until King Humbert can say to the emperor of Germany that Italy cannot go on arming unless Germany foots the bill. If Germany docs not hand over some cash , and she Is not In position to do so , the alliance will bo disrupted. Until then Iho unfor tunate Italian people must go on paying the piper and must suiter. In Iho now condition of Europa Iho tend ency of nations is more and moro to divide ' into two classes. The humbler classes are paclllo nnd the upper classes wuriluo , The king ana queen of Italy and tholr whole court and surroundings b3long to what I term the military party. Tuoy always stand by each other , it Is a quostlon whether Iho Ituatlon will bo broken before or after the next war. It Is not necessary to pray that Italy may go Into bankruptcy , for that would bring the absolute ruin of too many poor people , but on tba other hand it Italy would only give up the triple alliance It would bo the making of her , for then a war would bo rendered still unro dlflloult to In augurate. As she will not , and us financial embarrassment Is at baud , the other solution u Inevitable. Humors and fiosilp. Rumors consequent on the presence of thee | o v English ambassador in Purls are afloat. It U said that Lord DutTcrln has put In cir culation a rumor to the clTect that there Is a coldness between Franco and Huislu.

Mr. Holman said that our vo'sels which had been so successful in former wars were built 0.1 the suur of the moment and in case of another war this process could bo re pealed.

It is prolty well cnnwn that ho has made up his mind to ro- case Mrs. Osborno on the ground of the longer to bur llfo , which would bo cnutodby icr accouchmont in prison. A number of the nest eminent medical men In England have ignod u memorial , pleading for n remission of her sentence , ami Matlhows is un- aorslood lo bo extremely unwilling to ako thp responsibility of having Mrs. Osuorno illo In Jail. You can easily mngino tno outcry which has already boon aised. If Mrs. Osborno had boju a poor voman , without nil this Influence nt her back , sbo would have boon mauo to serve out lor sentence llko nnyboay olso. There is oao aw for the rich and another for the poof 'or other women in the same position RJ ilrs. Oabor.io no consideration lu hewn nnd so the indlctmont increases in ongth , day after day , mm Matthews finds hat whether ho exercises clomenoy or vhotbor ho rtoaa not , bo U equally oxpcaod o n whirlwind of obloquy. Then there comes In another question , vhlch will bo severely pressed If Mr * . Os berne Is sot free. Why was not Mrs. Mon- ague.wholsiilsolooking for accouchement at. ibotit the same time , released I On wha ) ; ground can any distinction be madoi Not of honnturoof the oiTsnco , for that has noth- ng to do with the application for mercy of his friends. Mrs , May brick is lllcowlso amaring her relaaso , not for precisely the amo reason , but ou the ground of general , leallb. Thus anybody haying frlonds with nonoy may contrive in the course ot a short time got prison doors opened for them , no tnittor how blaolc tbolr guilt may bo , vcr- nlcl of th3jury nnd the sonlonca Judge , not- vllhhlandlng , because of a more nuttor ot orm In Iho "dlsponsini ? power , " and in the jack ground money , a thing worth taking "nto consideration. MnttUowa in n Mnn. Secretary Matthews 1 a conscbntious nan , certainly not unduly opan to outsldo nduencos , no mailer from whit quarter they may como. Ho is not a favorlta with the House of Commons or with hie * 'arty , yet whenever his conduct has bcoa publicly challenged ho has baou able to sllonco his accusers and to prove that ho ook the right course , oxoapt , perhaps , In the rumpory cuso of Miss Cass , when ho showed n want of tact. But in refusing to yield to dictation fr ai tbo press or from fussy jusybodles bo has always idono his dutv , ana ms gained the approbation of the public , i'horo was u co.ivlct named Lipaki , who was condemned to death for u peculiarly brutal murder. The newspapers loJ by the Pall Mail Gazelle , got up n tremendous cry and managed to produce what they called un answerable proofs that Llpikl was neb even In England when the crlmo was committed. The man was hanged. Matthews was dcnouncod as a murderer. Ho made no answer , except to produce Lirwl ski's full confession of the murder , with ft description of every detail. This confession was signed at tlio very time the Pall Mull GazoUo was ptovlng tha complete InnoconCQ of tbo condemned. The result WiU ? 'VJ shaking of public oonfldonco In ) iow utinor verdicts. * p' ' ' The home secretary would always prefer not to lutcrforu with thosontonco of the law , whatever It may ho , but sometimes now facts como to light after the trial , which , had they bocn known to Judge and jury , would have causoa thorn to arrlvo at a different conclusion. Tli on It is admitted that the homo secretary ought to interfere , blnco it Is impossible for tno person con demned on n criminal charge to demand * new trial. Now In this Osborno case no ncvf facts hava como to light , but Secretary Matthews la pressed to annul the sentence ou the ground of humanity. Ilo IK III u Tight 1'liicn. Everybody ' right fooling must see that bo is placed In a position of great dlfllculty. If he turns a deaf hour to the appeal for mercy , nnd MM. Oiborno should dlo In prison , ho will bo most bitterly assailed. If ho orders her roloafo , it Is already evident what is In store for him , What Is the rule in cases of this kind ? It Is that when women are so uear accouchement as that lo kcop her la Jali would bo virtually to prolong her son * tonco. She is released , but this reason can not bo assigned tn Iho instance of Mrs , Os borno. Her friends are naturrlly anxious that the stigma of having boon tiorn In prison bhould not rest on her child , but can a minis * tor of the law lake any cognizance of thall The answer Is not as a minister , but as td man , I In recalls , a reply once made by the old duke of Wellington to George IV. "As a pentloman I cannot do that" tbo king had said , "but" urged the duke , "your majesty Is not a gentleman" . The king repeated the words in amazo- motl. "No , " said Iho duke , "you are not n gen tleman vou are king of England. " That will lot the light with which Matthews will bo called upon to turn on tbo requisition of the omluout physician. Ho is not a man. Ho in homo secretary nnd has uo ri hl to Interfere , on the grounds of human ity , with the administration of Juxtico. Still , I fully expect to see Mrs. Oiborne released.
