gue (London Tablet. August 14th)
In- The " publio conscience" in Italy, which
tire Sgnors Vigliani and Mancini wish to protect
the from the assaunlte of the Cathollo clergy, seems
ar- not to be a very tender conscience nor to
one b., much disetrbed by the efforts of socialists
on and revolutionists. Daring the past month or
rat July the International held a Congress at
Bologna, which subsequently printed its circa
n- lars and programme. The members of this
eas Congress publish their opinions with boldness
d and clearness. They pronounce "the existence
to of the State and private property to b3 inuom
to patible with the emancipation of the working
e classes." And they consider it necessary for
ir. this emancipation " to destroy the State Ip i,ll
its departments, economic, political and reli
gious, and to transform the ir`Pry bf Indi
a viduale Into collenti"e preperty." " Alarchy,
.e, which is the neg.tion of all authority, or power,
Swhich by laws or by force is imposed apon the
-. lower by the higher olaesev, and collectivism,
r- which is the possession by the laboring classes
of the ma'erials and machinery of labor, are
Sthe positive and negative manifestations
.s of t:leir programme." As these social
s hts deny all Mthrity, and daeny thwater. I
ventlon of the supernatural in the sfiairs of e
s men, they deny also the sacredness of marriage,
and profess "foll liberty of union between the z
man and the woman." As the parents are thus
emancipated from the tyrannical tie of mar- a
riage, so the children are to be rescued from o
" the abuses of paternal authority," and are to p
receive a "social " edncation which will allow al
" the complete development of all their facul- as
ties." Persons are to be free to do what they gI
like with themselves. But the "liberty" of b
the parents becomes " tyranny " when it takes It
the form of authority over their offspring The as
Congress pledges itself to strive for "the dii
formation of a new popular consoience." The im
Italian Government will not allow a meeting in
of citizens to protest against the grist tax, nDr set
will it allow a procession of pilgrims to any of
of the sanctuaries unless by special license of cor
the authorities. How, then, comes it to pass by
that the Government permitted the te'alis: pri

present rulers of Italy have secret sympathy i g
with tl.e revolutionists f It seems certainly tret
S:spiioue that other societies, not differing
uch politically from Internationalists. have
held meetings and carried resolutions to give
support to the Depretie Ministry. The working
alasses, as represented by the Bologna Con. - Ii
tress, are badly circumstanced, seeing they de c
ire anarchy, communism and paganism as an char
escape from the present evils. The governing time

in organ of the Catholics, are worse even than who,

nself one fine day in a coffee house, and Wis!
rtly afterwards a banker throws himself eaccese
o the river. Wives weep in misery, and
ir husbands ran after ballet girls or some

of weekly recurrence. They cannot there. the Ba
be ascribed to chance, but " to some law For
ich governs society, and to say truth," con
ls the Liberta, "governs it very badly." aItoop
people who are tainted are the merchants, truth
cufacturers, writers, bankers; and professors On ti
lawyers. So corrupt is the condition of the 24th
snerated Italy that a newspaper of no mean lntell

rhich reveal the want of something, the want of

sems robust, compact and capable of great efforts

'lists that most terrible the evil lies not in the lower,
