but has made it, revival under any disguise
impossible in the future. Even the most aim
pie need no enlightenment as ti tthe meaning t
of aRussiau Protecort te, so far as the Catho- d
lie religion s concerned. The soenee which It
have been eec id and may estill be witnssed ti
in the Russian Provinces af Poland, make this at
clear t the dullest eomprehe on. The mere c,
putting aside souch a fatal protectorets would i
beto avert one of the'greatett calamities and
dangers that could threaten the Catholics of
Turkey. Bet the Congress has done mnuch
more than this. According to the oriinl stip- t
ulations forced upon the Porte. Reumuanie, C
servia, and Montenegro, were to b3 abgolutely ii

Was to include nearly tue whole of Roumelia,
wee also to be independent of the Sultan all tl
but In name, while it was to be "organizedd" by tl
Rusian officials, and generally handed over to
Rossian influence. Finally, the Porte was to
reorgsaiza the other provinces in conjonction u
with Russia. Now, putting eide any direct C
action f Russia, we ask what, under these cir- a
oumstances, would be the poeition of the Ca- b
tholics throughout all those regions? What
hab been done in Servia is a type of what wa b
likely to happen. There, under the pretext
that all Servians are members of the "Ortho
dox" (Sohismatic) Greek Church, the profes.
sion of Catholicity haa been made practically 0
im peeible. S
This conduct is identical in principle with c
that by which the Rossian Government affects F
to regard the Uniatee ss otlcially members of o
the State schism. The outrage on individual fi
liberty of consolenue is transparent in both
cases "We do tnOt prseacte Roman Catho
lice the Servian or the Muscovite may say
such and sucx person's are not Roman Catho. n
lice, but members of the Slate Church." What E
-e been done in Sorvia would be sure to be ti
ePeated in Bulgaria. Already, within the s
pat few yea's, thte Bulgarian Catholics have U
snffered sorely at the hands of their echismatic

at Consatatinople. Within the last few months

triole neac the Archipelago have beun greatly is

_aekgy of those diatiso, representing them to ii
the public authorities as members of their

perseoution wbiob it brought to Cstholio Ar
menians, were mainly attributable to Russian
suggestions. Would these difficulties, to call
them by the mildest name. be diminished for
the Catholios throughout those provinces when
the whole organization and government would
be in the bands of a majority hostile to them.

Russiean emoalse It is a notorious faotthat,
ever since these troubles began three years ago,
it has been an abiding terror for the Mobam
medane and Catholics of Bosnia that they
might be handed over to the tender merates of
Servia or of their own fellow prvilcoaels, ad
herents of the Greek schism.
The Congress. however, has expressly stipu
lated that in Bulgaria "liberty of tbe pblic
professios of all creeds shall be assured to the
population as well as to strangers, and no
trammels will be imposed on the hierarchic
organization of the different communions, or
their relations with their spiritual ohiefs."
This is explicit enough The new organization
of Bulgaria is placed under the surveillance of
a European commission, so that it will not be
easy to prevent religious freedom from being a
reality. There are similar express and sepa
rate stipulations of the same tenor, and almost
in tVe same words, respecting Servia, Monte
negro and Roumania, and the recognition of
the independence of those principalities is ex
pressly made to be dependent upon the fulfil
ment of those stipulations. To crown the work
it is provided thbat "the exeroise and external
practice of all religions shall be entirely f ee."

ions. Who will not see that these provisions,
solemnly embodied in a great European Treaty,
furnish a guarantee for Catholic interests, not
only far in advance of the condition of things
settled by the San Stefano Treaty, but also
much more efflaoiore than any hitherto exist
ing I. It will now devolve upon the great Ca
tholio Powers, and speocially upon France and
Austria, to see that the decisions of the Con
grees in this matter shall be faithfully oarried
out. And English Catboli-s willat least have
the satisfaction of knowing that this improved
position of religious interests in the East is
mainly owing t9 the vigorous stand mode by
the British Plenipotentiaries against Russian
encroachments.
A FICTION OF IEE INFLATIONISTS
U. E. Economist.
One of the chief objections of the ifr fltion
iets or groi.'nback advocates, as they wrongly
col: tI enoselves, t3 specie resumption, is that
there cannot be sufliorent money in circulation
under the systeem to met t t'o requirements
of business. They allege that the present
bnsinesa stagnation is.doa to a scarcity of
money.
But tiere is no rground for this assertion, ac
cording to the Bastou Journal. The amount
of money 'in sight," that is, the amount which
may be made available for business purposes
in the country at the present time is, in round
numbers, as follows:
Greenbacks ................................. 34000.000a
Natioel Bask notes ..................... 3,C00o.00r
Fractional urrenr ................... .....-- 16,0 0 o000
Subsidiary silver coin ......... ............. 4l 000-0
New silver dollars. ..... .................... 8,0o0.000
Gold certifcates and gold in use.......... 8,,0,0,00
Total ....................................810,0s0,e00
Oo the strength of this our oontemporary
ses tbh.t there is at least $300,000.000 of ooin
and paper umoney in the oountry whioh can, if
needed, be obtained and used for business pur
poses-a sum nearly double the amount in oir
culation at the beginning of the war When
we consider the improved quality of the paper
money for business purposes, and the improved
methods of carrying on commercial tranese
tior s without causing money to change hands,
it may be assumed that the present volume of
currency for peiforming the functions of money
in business is more than twios s effeotive as
was the amount of the circulating medium in
1860.
How muoh money is needed for the actual
business transactions of the people of this
country I The population of the United States
is now estimated at 45,000 000 or, in round
numbers, at 9.000.000 families. Of this number
of families at least 8,000.000 subsist upon their
daily, weakly or season's earnings; that is,
their expenditures are measured by their re
ceipis Tesee receipts range from $10 to $30
oer week. To any that the aaraga rseipta
and expenditures of the 8 000,000 families
above referred to Is $20 each per week is a very
liberal estimate. At $10 per family for that
portion of the population that live uopon their
earnings rather than the earnings of capital, it
would require $160,000 000 of currency for the
ordinary transactions of l, iness. This
amount deducted from the $800,000,000 of
money "in sight" would leve 08t40 000,000 for
strictly commercial t "anesociorab and as capital

THE SITUATION A" ITALY.
London Tablet, July 21.
Tihe . m,,cracy in Italy seemns to be in r
the aecendart, and to do touch as it pleases. t
The ministers of King Humbert are eIther I
unwilliog or unable t, reprees ites manifes- 2
tations. The scenes which have lately H
disturbed public order in Perugia, Leg- s
horn and Venice prove tihe weakness or t
the complicity of the authorities. The v
streets of Perugia were traversed by pro- I
ceesionists carrying the red fle,. At Leg- ti
horn the revolutionists made an open do- '
monstration of anti-Austrian sentiments d
in a public theatre. In Venice the mob h
tore down the arms from the Austrian o
Consulate. The police made no attempt t
to prevent these outrages. At Milan, u
Ferrara, Padua and Venice demonstrations ti
attended with violence were made against b
the government cigar monopoly. In Rome
the monarchy was grossly nsulted, and, d
apparently, with the connivance of the h
King's Ministers. Three members of the ti
Cabinet, namely Signor Csiroli, Zanardelli li
and De Sanctie, attendel a banquet given b
by thire members of the Press Association, ti
although it had been expressly arranged b
by the leaders of that Association that all d
political toasts, even that of the King, T
should be excluded from the programme b
of theproceediogs. One Cabinet Minister, it
SignorDe Sanetis, assented to that ex- G
clusion. Some moderate members of the re
Press Association regretted the insult put m
on the King by the exclusion of his name a
from the list of toasts on that occasion, and ti
proposed to atone for that insult to his o
Malsjesty by placing the bust of thie King ¶
in the hall of the Association. Bot the g
majority of the members refused to admit e
King Humbert's bust, even on the condi- u
tion that the bust of blMazzini should like- b
wise be placed in thie hall. Tne President h
of this anti monarchical association is no a
other than Signor Do Sanctis himself. p
Signor Cairoli, moreover, the Prime Min- f
ister, is a republican, and is therefore p
lenient to his fellow republicans. The S
Government of the King pots no obstacle I f
in the way, whenever the republicans c
Ir ebooee to bold a meeting to propagate their
h* opinions. The favors of the Court are
showered upon republicans. King Ham
bert sits complacently for his bust to a
sculptor, who only a month ago founded a
new republican society in Rime entitled
Id "The Rights of Man," and who more re
., cently modelled the bust of Voltaire for
f the celebration of the centenary of that
t. philosopher. Republican newspapers are
O* freely published, and writings inculcating
open hostility to monarchy are circulated
'y without impediment. In Romethe Devter
was recently established as the organ of
the democracy in general. And in Naples
S. the "democracy militant" has just estab
in lished a special organ under the title of
 Fieramoea.a. The first article of the first
o number of this organo della democrasia
Sa militaste, contains the following words:
"To thee, ideal, to thee, we are consecra
, ted; to thee, the revolution, the eternal
,f youth of the world. And now that we are
, in the saddle, the reins given to the wind,
a you will doubtless ask us what are the
i- colors of our ladies. We reply : The pur
it ple sash which girds our loins and breaks
- the sombre hoe of our armour, , tells you
If that the lady of our hearts is the Republicl
For her always, for her only, we will con
k quer or die."
hI The power of the democracy is felt with
o in the councils of the Crown and within the
i- walls of Parliament. It was the eemocraoy
!, which made King Humbert consent to
r, place his father's remains in the Pantheon,
far from the sepulchre of his ancestors.
The democracy has carried, in Montecito
rio, the abolition of the maocinato, that op
pressive grist tax, the burden of which fell
g most severely on the poorer and labor
ing classes. The gradual abolition of that
d tax was doubtless desirable, but the meas
ere just passed by the Chamber of Deputies
Shas been not nfairly termed a leap in the t
dark, for on the produce of that tax de
n pended to a great extent the forthcoming
of supplies to meet the neceseary expenses 1
of the country. Prudence would have die
tated to the D:puties the discovery of some
new way of rcplenishing the national ex
chi quer before abolishing the old source of
revenan. Signor Sella and other financiers
V pointed out clearly and earnestly the perils r
t of hasty and hazardous legislation, but t
they failed to curb the impetuosity of the
democratic majority. The measure was
f passed by the Deputies and sent up to the
Senate, and because the Senate seems ro
solved to examine ltisurely and, if neces
s eary, to modify the Abolition Bill, and at a
I all everts to delay its acceptance by the
Upper House for some months, the organs
of the democracy are enraged and already b
cry out for the abolition of the Senate as
a useless incumbrance and clog to legisla
s tion.
The democracy is now clamoring for the
annexation to Italy of the Trent district t
and lstria, and seems disposed to seize
those provinces by force of arms. It is not
likely therefore that abolition of the army
forms at present any portion of the demo- a
cratic programme. How then are the ex
penses of the Government to be met when
the macinato shall have been abolished I
Viva la revolutione sociale is the watot
I word placarded on the walls of Leghorn, and
discontent is loudly proclaimed in many
cities of Italy. The bankruptcy of Flor
once foreshadows tte lot of Naples and of 1'
other once thriving cities. In Sicily many b
municipal corporations have signed remon -
strances against the fiscal oppressions
under which they groan. Tuousandsofthe n
inhabitants of Marsala declare themselves t
ready to emigrate to Australia to escape o
the iniquitous exactations of the Italian a
tax collectors. From one extremity of the a
peninsular to the other proceed.cries of dis
satisfaction and ill humor. The Congress 0c
of Berlin, which has prevented, war be- SI
tween England and Russia, eems to have y
provoked in Italy murmuring and corn
plaint. General Garibaldi, Signor Guiesepe b
Avezzana. Signor Count Aurelio Safl!, and tl
Signor Frederico Campanella, the four Ii
noted leaders of the extreme republican w
party, have signed a manifesto to all Ital- a
ioans calling them to unite for the rescue i
of "unredeemed Italy." "There are still ie
-so says this manifesto-Italian provinces a
wherein it is a crime to pronounce the si
name of Italy, wherein men expiate with 0o
prolonged tortures the . mst legitimate at
and most noble sentiment which ennobles re
iman upon earth, the sentiment namely of 1o
patriotism. And among these provinces th
may be named Trieste and Trent which Be
remain in the power of tihe oldest and most m
bated of our oppressors. The sons of at
these Italian provinces were prodigal in p1
spending their lives in the struggle for our pr
emancipation." The manlfieto proceeds tri
to inflame the passions of the Italians tf
against Austria, and to excite enmity la
against the government which h:,s betrayed, :
so it is sEiu', thi, iitr.,reC' of , sly. By a al
newaspaper '.itld Lcifer it is a nounced P'
that a R-pul.hcao Congress, or rather a
Republican Parliament, was held on the be
29th of June in Ancona, at which twenty- w
five republican associations were repre- a
seated. By this Republican Parliament
three resolutions were voted. The first
was a vote of thanks to the Corporation of
Rimini for refusing to assist in the erec
tion of a monument to Victor Emmanuel. pri
The second was a protest against the con- ba
duct of the Prime Minister, Cairoli, and of wi
his fellow ministers for annulling the decree soi
of the Corporation of Genoa which ordered dig
the abolition of religious instruction in the
municipal schoole. And the third resolo- cei
tion was for the "redemption" of their he
brethren in Trieste, Trent, and Nice. ke
As if in harmony with these anti-Aaustrian Mr
demonstrations the Italian Government ne
has given directions for the complete sys
temisation of the fortresses of the Q adri- an
lateral and for thedefence of the frontiers He
bordering on Austria. It is even said that col
the bridges and passes on the Italian Alps ste
have been mined, in order to render more
diflicult the entrance of the foreigner. cei
These apparently warlike measures have dri
been adopted, perhaps, to please the dom- of
inant faction of the republicans. The
Government mast obey the behests of the dii
revolution or give place to one which com- Is
mands the confidence of the republican toc
majority in the Chamber of Deputies. And
there are those who think that the days cel
of the Cairoll Ministry are numbered. "1
The present Prime Minister has indeed tw
gone further than Depretis, and is acknowl- Dr
edged to be more honest than Nicotera and
more moral than Crispi. But he seems to ru
have little hold upon the Chamber, and to cri
have caused general dissatisfaction by his sp
attempts to gain the support of certain
prominent leaders of the Right. When he th
faels he will be succeeded by a still more th
pronounced republican, most likely by ab
Signor Bertani, who is regarded as the lai
future Premier. Signor Cairolh will be la
consoled by the remembrance that the ot
it munlcipality of Rome voted 40,000 fraes
a to erect a monument to his herole brothers
killed in a Garibaldian attack on the City
a of Rome. Rome is unfortunate in having
a to build houses for tier living, and mona
d met-et for her slain assailants.
r WHAT MAKgB BOYS BAD.
o SUPERINTENDENT JONES, 0P THE HOUSE OF
R ILtUGE, BAYS IT IS CHEAP WIEELY STORY
PAPERS.
Now York Tribune.
f It is related that when the four little
b-iys who recently placed stones on the
New York Elevated railroad, were in the
t Tombs awaiting examination, they showed
much artiety about their record as "nice"
boys. When questioned one day by a
visitor as to the books they read, the
three largest at first declared that they did
not have much time to read, they had to
study so hard; bat when farther pressed
they finally admitted that they occasion
ally did read Sunday school books, if
allowed to sit up a few moments after 8:30
o'clock in the evening, No farther con
cessions could be obtained. They stoutly
maintained that Sunday school books
formed their sole literary relaxation. These
three boys, it will be remembered. were
about thirteen years of age; they claimed
also to have been incited to the deed by a
little fellow only nine y ears old. This last
was a bright, frank boy. When questioned,
he said he could read all but the big word..,
that he liked best The Police Gasette, The
Boys' and Girls' Weekly and such family
I papers.
These facts and the story published in
Monday's Tribune of the small boy who
has run away from Buffalo so many times,
but who also declares that lie reads no
thing but Sunday school books, indicate
perhaps that the boys themselves are
beginning to understand that much of the
juvenile literature of to-day is unfit for
them.: In speaking of these matters yes
ter'iay, Superintendent Jones. of the HoLse
of Rfago on 1r;.dall'a Island, said-"Tne '
boys that we have here do not, however, t
often de:ny te-ir tansto for that sort of
reading. If they are allowed their choice
they alumust always exi)ress a d.-aire to gort a
lhold of The o!/s' andt Girls' lVerlyq. llr ,
Boys of America, The Police Gazette, or
similar publications. Many copiesa of three
papers are sent to them by fiiende because
they can be purchased cheaply. We stop
all such, however. There is a library in each
schoolroom here, and the interest of $7,000 -
is appropriated each year to making addi
tions to these shelves. The books are
books of history and travel, with some
fiction. Wzhen they can't get anything
else the boys will read them; finally they I
grow fond of them. Wild, thrilling tales
unsettle their minds and hinder our efforts
to teach them the lesson that they must
work faithfully and carefully if they ex
pect to succeed in the world. SOub boys
are constantly expecting something start
ling to happen to them."
"Could you tell," asked the Inquirer.
"what boys read this bad kind of juvenile e
literature ?"
"Without any trouble," was the reply.
"Buch readers have vivid. and unhealthy
imaginations. The most ordinary incident 4
is so colored by them that the truth can
hardly be recognised. They are Incapable
apparently of stating facts as they occur.
With them convicts are heroes; fathers,
mothers, and keepers of any kind are
tyrants. The stories they relate to each
other are something wonderful, and bear a
strong resemblance to the naratives in the t,
weekly papers.
"The effects of such reading upon the .]
community may easily be traced in the
statistics of public institutions. Twenty
years ago, when such papers were fewer in
number, most of the boys sent here had
been arrested for pilfering. But of late
the number of vagrants is much increased.
In my mind, this is one of the most noto
worthy effects of the flood of bsd books I
and papers. All these stories, directly or
indirectly, teach that obedience to parents
is unmanly. The "boy who is a boy"
scorns all control, escapes from boarding
school where the table does not suit him,
or aids a convict to escape from prison
and wins undying gratitude thereby. The
reader follows t',e example so entertain
ingly set for him. He seeks company in
the streets; runs away from school: de
fies his father and mother, teachers and
masters,. becomes a vagrant, and eventu
ally turns up here or in some more un
pleasant institution. You would be ear
prised at the great nnmber of very young AN
tramps whom we receive. They come ,A
often from distant cities-Buffalo of Cleve
land. Generally they are not more than
sixteen or seventeen years old, but they tol
always have one of these abominable pa- th
pere in their pockets. What the result of
such an itluence in the community will
be eventually, unless it is arrested in some
way, is hard to tell. The evil !s certainly
a crying one and calls fr some remedy."
TWISTED SENTENCES. JO

One of Sir Boyle Roche's invitations to

toxication."
A correspondent, in writing of a recent Al
celebration in the city of Cleveland, says :
"The procession was very flue, and nearly -
two miles long, as was also the report of I
Dr. Perry, the chaplain."
A Western paper says : "A child was
run over by a wagon three years-old, and
cross eyed, with pantaletse ou,which never
spoke afterward."
Over a bridge at Athens, Georgia, was
the following : "Any person driving over
this bridge at faster pace than a walk
shall, if a white person, be fined five dol
lars; and if a negro, receive twenty- five
lashea-half the pena'ty to be bestowed
on the informer."
