The following figures are the result of his researches: “From 1884 to 1894 no less than 947 duels were fought in Italy over newspaper controversies, 730 by rival lovers, 377 over political questions, 289 for Insults, 183 for private reasons, and 19 over gambling quarrels. In 79 cases the cause of the duel was unknown. Journalists and officers in Italy are first among duelists. Os the 538 duels fought in 1884, 156 were fought by journalists and 165 by officers In the army. Os dueling lawyers there were 64; students 63; professors 22; Deputies 14; engineers and architects 13; servants 6; and bankers 2.

A YEAR'S COMMERCE. IMPORTS ANO EXPORTS FOR TWELVE MONTHS. Bctnnw Now Available, Making It Possible to Form Fotnc Idea of' the Course of Trade- -Praise for the Presi- . dent-Republican Debts. For the Fiscal Year. The returns of imports and exports I for the past fiscal year are now avail- j able, and it is possible to form some | idea of the course of trade. For the j year ending June 3t>, 1895, our exports were $808,059,419 and our imports I $743,742,849, an excess of exports of ? $64,316,570. our exports were less than ; in any year since 1889, aud our im- ‘ ports were less than in any year in j the same period, with the single ex- i ception of 1894. That year showed ' the effects of the panic of 1893, which, by making money scarce, forced us to rush our products to the foreign mar- i kets and economize in our purchases. To see how much or how little influ- I ence tariff changes have had on our ' foreign trade it may be worth while to give the figures from a time before the I passage of the McKinley law: Exports. Imports. 1888 st i”. »■ n $745,131,652 1890 857.828,684 789,310.109 1891 884,480,810 844,916,196 1892 1.031 >.278.148 827,402.462 1893 847.665,194 .866,400,922 1894 892.140.572 654,994,622 1895 808,059,419 743,742,849 The years ISB9 and 1890 were under the old tariff of ISS3. Part of the year 1891 and all of 1892, 1593 and 1894 were under the McKinley act. The greater art of 1895 has been under the Wilson law. The abnormal exports of the fiscal year 1892 were due to the enormous crops of 1891, which sold at good prices in consequence of a scarcity in Europe. Aside from this, it will be observed that our export trade did nut grow under the McKinley law. It was smaller in 1893 than in 1890, and even than in 1.881. Our imports, on the contrary, increased under a tariff that was meant to exclude them. They were greater in the year from July 1, 1892, to June 30, 1893, than in any other year in the history of the country. either before or since. They were nearly $123,000,000 greater in that year than in the one just closed, when we were to have been overwhelmed by a “flood" of foreign pauper-made goods. In 1893. under McKinleyism, the balance of trade "against” us, as the protectionists put it, was nearly $19,000,000, while in 1895. under a low tariff, it ; was over $G4,000,000 in our favor. We are just recovering from a period > of depression such as it took us six i years to get over under the high pro- 1 tective tariff of 1873. Short crops and i stagnant manufactures last year limited our exports. But now we have the promise of good crops, and our manufactures are flourishing. We are freed from tile apprehension of having our industries deluged by excessive imports. As in former low-tariff periods, our imports have not been sufficient to keep up the revenues of the Government. The indications are that next year's commercial returns will be the most favorable we have ever known. A Short Session of Congress. It is intimated from Republican sources of intelligence that the session of Congress to begin next December will be much shorter than the first session of any Congress in many years. There is comfort in the suggestion. It is as certain now as it will appear a year from now that there will be no material change in tariff nor in silver legislation. There is more than a twothirds Republican majority In the House-enough to pass a bill re-enact-ing the McKinley tariff over the President's veto. Hut there is not even a McKlnleyite bare majority in the Senate, and it is doubtful if any bill could pass that body reinstating the measure repealed last year. McKinley is too much of a Presidential candidate and too much in the way of ambitious rivals for any measure to pass Congress of which he would bo the popular embodiment in a campaign. The friends of every other Republican candidate would unite to defeat a bill of which he would be the representative before the people. These considerations render it certain that no tariff legislation is possible in the next Congress. It is extremely improbable that the friends of different Republican candidates would unite on any tariff measure. The different factions will be suspicious of each other. Tbe leaders of each faction will determine that it is better to let the Democratic tariff stand than to pass a Republican tariff bill of which some other leader of a faction might reap the benefit among the voters. The situation as to silver legislation is less complicated. With the certainty existing that neither the tariff nor the currency system can be disturbed, there is no reason why the session to begin in December, 1595, should extend beyond April. 1896. All routine and non partisan acts can be introduced, perfected and passed within a month after the holidays. There Is absolutely nothing else to keep Congress in session. Even the dreary and exhaustive speeches of members in their “grand stand displays." to use a local idiom, ought not to occupy many months. It is reported that ex-Speitket l.eed, who expects to occupy the chair again, Is completing his lists of eomnnttees that their names may be announced within a week or two after the session bogies instead of waiting until after the holidays. He is in favor, evidently, of the short session scheme. Vindicating the Democratic Policy. The opponents of Democracy won an ephemeral triumph by attrumtiug the hard times to the party m power. J he

good times which have come under Democratic nde are a* surely attributable to the Democracy. Tho cloud* of discontent have blown away; business is booming all over the land: the policy which was predicted to rujn industry has set every mill humming and every furnace blazing; the tariff Which was prophesied to reduce wages lias raised wages everywhere. The people are contented, prosperous, hap-py-—Boston Post Republican Committee’e Debts. I he matter of the deb! of the Republican National Committee has become a national scandal. The affairs of that body for a dozen years have been managed by a lot of spendthrifts. At the close of each campaign since that of 1884 they have been indebted to speakers whom they employed, to individuals and local committees who provided halls and paid the expenses of meetings and for other obligations. National notoriety was given to the transaction in which the Republican committee repudiated its contract with Anna Dickinson in 1888. when she went to Indiana with an explicit agreement to make speeches for Harrison. They refused to pay her bills when the campaign closed and were sued for the amount. Doubtless her mental derangement was precipitated by this exasperating event. Notwithstanding the Republicans carried the election in 1888, the committee’s bills were unpaid, and the total debt at the commencement of the cam paign of 1892 was SIOO,OOO. It is now alleged, and not disputed, that the committee auctioned off the convention of that year to Minneapolis for a secret bonus of enough money, in addition to the amount openly paid, to discharge the committee’s debt of four years’ standing and growth and to redeem it from bankruptcy. It is said, however, that all the money contributed by Minneapolis to pay old debts was not expended for that purpose. The big hotel bills of the highflyer members of the committee were discharged, but not the indebtedness incurred for other purposes. The disastrous campaign of 1892 left the committee worse off than it ever had been before. The present debt is not less than $250,000. Judging from these facts, there is no probability in a public allegation that the managing men of the committee are laying plans now to bld off the next convention to the city that will pay the committee’s debts, in addition to other legitimate expenses.

Deserved Praise. The Washington Post is an independent journal with Republican Inclina- ' tions and deeply saturated with the spirit of jingoism that is more or less i rampant in the land at the present time; I hence no one would willfully suspect it ! of being in close sympathy with Presii dent Cleveland. Yet in an editorial discussing the third term bugaboo that has frightened so many timid persons of late, iu which it expresses the opinion that Mr. Cleveland has no thought of accepting another nomination, tbe Post pays the following just and welldeserved tribute to the President: He has had all the honors that the nation could bestow, and he has requited the people’s trust with faithful ami devoted service. We have seen him impressing upon public sentiment his conviction as to finance, the tariff and the organization of the government. Coming here a practically’ unknown man. from a provincial city, he has made himself the most conspicuous and striking figure of his generation. He can retire two years hence with a name that will embellish history long after his traducers shall have been forgotten. He will live in the world s memory as oue of the brilliant galaxy of our greatest men. Against Wind an.l Tide. Republican papers are evidently beating up against a head wind. Not only is the wind dead ahead, but the tide is running strong against them. Every sailor, every yachtsman, knows how discouraging sailing is with both wind and tide against one. It compels a resort to all kinds of expedients. One ban to run on one tack as close into the wind as possible until shallow water is reached and there is danger of going ashore; then veer around with the accompanying flapping of sails and start out upon the opposite angle. Judging from the rate of progress made, with the wind rising and the tide strengthening. ir is more than doubtful that these craft will reach the port for which they are sailing in 1896. —St. Paul Globe.

Long and Short Lives. According to the figures of a great i life insurance company, commercial travellers and agents live longer than men in any other kind of business, notwithstanding the hazards which attend transportation by rail and water. Next I to them come dentists, teachers and professors, including music teachers, ; hatters, clergymen and missionaries, i Next come bankers and capitalists, who | seem to live just a trifle longer than butchers and marketmen. Lawyers and jewellers follow, and they are succeeded on the list by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and pawnbrokers. Then come gardeners, laborers, civil engineers and canvassers, bookkeepers and bank cashiers, artists and architects. Newspaper men come next, with the printers, physicians, and gentlemen who are not engaged in active employment. Then follow the apothecaries and photographers, and after them in order bakers, cigarmakers, real-estate agents, army officers and soldiers, liquor dealers, mariners and naval officers. Shortest lived of all seems to be the auctioneers, boarding-house keepers, barbers and drivers.
