am able to state that I have seen aud
conversed with this man, and can say
now, that the department Of justice in
tends to make inquiry into the matter
and see whether or not, under the con-
stitutiou, such outrages can be perpe-
trated upon an American citizen, with
out redress being demanded and procured
by the general government. We have
not yet heard the last of the Franz case
Senator Edmunds as well as Senator In
gals seem determined to make thisa test
matter.
There came to this country thirty-sev'
en- years ago." says James G. Blaine, So
man who merely declared his intention
to become an American citizen, but die
not complete his citizenship. Later, b,
was arrested in city On the Mediterra'
mean coast and put in prison. Thu
appeal of the consul of the United States
was ignored when the man claimed pro.
lection as an American citizen. Their,
was United States man-of-war in tn,
harbor, though. The captain sent wore
to the authorities that unless the prisoner
was placed safely aboard his vessel by
shutdown he would turn his guns upor
the town and open fire with shells ani
other missiles. That argument proved
effective and Kostza was released. Grea
Britain, in like manner protects her citi.
zens everywhere. can see no reason
why American citizens are not entitled
to protection upon our own soil as vel
as when they are temporarily in foreign
countries" Those are the words of MIR
Blaine, uttered in public speech at New
Haven, in 1876. l heard him deliver the
speech, and it was strong one. The
quotation is made, because at present, al
secretary of state, he cannot afford tC
give an opinion; and the people always
want to know the views of their strong
men, leading statesmen. Before the case
of Franz is settled the reader will be
listening to presidents and opinions from
every state and every district. tits about
decided that Franz shall bring suit, in
the United States supreme court for dam
ages against the city of Aberdeen and
the state of Mississippi. This will result
in decision, decision which will here
after enable outraged citizens to make
murder, rapine, plumber, scourging and
shooting so Improbable that the anciv-
ilized tribes of white men in the south
will be brought within the pale of reason
and of law.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections will soon report on the
Montana contested cases. The report
will be in favor of seating the republic
can senators. 1t is a well known fact
that the republicans have majority of
one on joint ballot in the Montana legis-
lature. 1t ia further a notorious fact that
the democratic members of the Montana
senate are even now running away from
their duties and staying outside of the
state in order to thwart the will of the
people, the people who elected them to
attend to their business for them. For
these and other cogen: reasons the re-
publican senators will be given their
seats in the senate.
The senate select committee on irriga-
ton will most likely make favorable re-
port upon the bill appropriating money
for the Powell system of irrigation. 1t
is almost incontrovertably proven that
the adoption of the proposed system will
reclaim the desert lands of Arizona and
New Mexico. Water in sufficient guam
tity falls over these areas, but it has been
permitted to dow away to the sea, bear
ing with it mud of the soil of the hill
1t is the duty of civilized
man to remedy this evil. and it can be
lone by the storage of water in great
reservoirs.
The ladies in official circles are follow
ing the example of the families of the
president and his cabinet, in ceasing
their entertainments. 1t is too hard
10 work against fate, and the ladies have
given it up. Society life in Washington
without the White House and cabinet
families amounts to but little. Circum-
have conspired to close the fOun-
lain of entertainments. and all the
streams have run dry. The ladies are
having quite little round Of tea parties,
and they do say that since the public re-
ceptions have been curtailed the girls
have had more time to devote to their
private social matters, and the result is,
several proposals and at least round
half-dozen of announced betrothals.
Truly, there is no small loss without
some great gains. How much better its
to catch husband for life than to flirt
