President Harrison has begun his trip across the country, which re calls the best of the long series of admirable, discreet, and well-timed speeches which he made during his Presidential campaign. During the weeks in which President Harrison was constantly talking, with a free dom rare in a Presidential candidate, he steadily improved his position before the public. His spectsh.es now are having a like success. The news from Rome is to the ef fect that the American controversy has led a discussion of Italy's finan cial condition. The Rudini Ministry finds it impossible to keep the prom ise to make both ends meet by economies, without further taxation. There is a normal deficit of 3G,000,- 000 of francs, and this is increasing rapidly. The only choice is be tween additional taxes or a reduc tion of the army to a standard that would remove Italy from efficient membership in the Triple Alliance. The probability is that taxes will be increased. It will thus be seen that Italy is in 110 shape for war. The prospect of increased taxation is calculated to stimulate the exodus now going 011 in the way of iin. migration, and the United States will continue to be the objective point of the hordes seeking escape from their overburdened count'y. J Deputy Collector Gable has re ceived notice that all persons liable to internal revenue special taxes that all such taxes for the full year will hereafter become due on the Ist day of July ol each year, instead of the Ist of May, as heretofore.

A liquor bill was passed last week by the Democratic majority in the' Now "York Assembly which is char acterized as the most vicious meas ure of the k'nd proposed in that State in many years. It permits Sunday liquor selling,sales to minors, | | and does away with local option and the ci\il damage act. This bill could not have been passed had it not been for the votee of eleven | Democrats who were each elected by pluralities smaller than the Pro hibition vote cast in their districts. Had the Prohibitionists voted for the Republican candidates in these districts, instead of running separ ate tickets, the Republicans would have had a majority in tho Assemb ly, and the bill would never have been heard of. 11' it should beconio a law, the Prohibitionists will be in a measure responsible for it. NoMcreiilver uolia.Q. j The National Democrat, Washing ton, D. C., reports : Director of the I Mint Leech states that, after it is probable no more silver dollars will be coined, but silver certificates will be printed instead. Congress has given tue Secretary of the Treas* ury power to lecoin §2,500,000 of the subsidiary coin now in the Treasury, and that, too, will probab jly be done as soon as possible alter j the beginning oi the next fiscal year. This will, in o.'lect, put just that much more money in circulation, j There are also about 2,G0U,000 silver j loilars in the Treasury against ! which silver certificates can be is ; sued. j Tlie Supremo Court of Indiana j has allirmcd a point in railroad liw j that is ol'importance in all agricul j tural communities. A farmer's cow [strayed upon a railroad track and was killed b) a train. The farmer sued the company l'or the value t of the cow ;;ud the'company sued him for damages to iis engine. The company maintained that it couid not prevent cows from straying tip on its many miles ol'track, but that the farmer could and should. The (Supreme Court decided that it was as much the farmer's business to prevent his cows lVom straying up on the railroad track as it was the company's business to keep its en gines out of the farmer's pasture lots. Consequently the farmer will pay for the damages to the engine, uL.d the company will not pay for the cow. The etlcets of this de cision will be to wipe away all dam ages for tlic killing of cows or other domestic auimals that may stray up on rail road tracks. How Pennsyl vatiia WaoNamed. Pennsylvania means '"Penn's j Wood's' and William Penn himself tells how it came to be so named in a ktter dated January 5, 1081 : '•This day, after many waitings, watchii.gs, soliciting and disputes in councils, my country was confirmed to me under the gret*t seal of Eng land, wilh large powers and prive legea. by the name of a name the King would give it in favor of my father. I chose New Wales, being a hill country, ami when the secretary, a Welshman, re fused to call it New Wales, I pro posed Sylvania and they added to it, though I was much opposed to it and went to the King to have it stricken out. lie said it was passed and he would take it upon himself; nor coulc twenty guineas move the under secretary to vary the name, for I feared it might be looked 011 as vanity in me, and not as a iespect in the King to my father, as t really was." » SPHING! « ) ( Clothing of our good Philadelphia make is waiting for ron !
