OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
NO CAUSE FOR ArPaEHENsioN.

The massacre of the Mafian prisoners
nj New Orleans Saturday need excite
no apprehension for the safety Of
Americans IN Italy. The spirit Of re-
taliation and revenge will hardly sway
the Italians TO the preparation OF H.
dign.:y or outrage upon citizens OF the
United States now soJourning IN that
troubled country. The news of the
affair reached Rome Sunday morning
and the first impulse of the impetuous
Italians was to retaliate. An attack
was made upon an Englishman, under
belief that be was an American,
shortly after the news wac bulletned.
When the first feelings OF horror and re-
sentiment pass away the sober senses of
the people will prevail and wise counsel
will insure safety to unofending Amer
leans.
The feverish excitement Of riot and
bloodshed thae impelled the mob to
wreak vengeance on the assassins of
Hennessy was purely spasmodic, and
could not have been quoted except by
force of military arms. The populace
of the Crescent City was frenzied with
a wild and reckless thirst for the blood
OF the accused. and it is indeed fortu-
nate, If not proyidential, that many in
nocent ones escaped slaughter. There
can be offered no sufficient justifica-
ton for the highhanded lawlessness Of
the mob, yet the provocation was great.
Recent events in our own State may be
taken as an example of the suppressed
Indignation and modification that
ranked in the bosoms of the men Of
New Orleans, when they found that the
machinery of the law was inadequate
to administer what was popularity de-
manded as punishment for the brutal
murder OF the police officer. The
Italian minister has promptly called
the attention of the President to the
infraction of the treaty with Italy, un-
der which. the lives and property of
citizens of that country are solemnly
secured, and which are as sacredly in
violabIe "a those of our own country
men. Secretary Blame has promptly
wired Governor Nichols instructions TO
protect the lives of others who might
have been implicated IN the wicked
work of the Mafians. He also deplores
the horrible butchery of the accused,
and regrets that citizens OF New Or
leans should have dispara-ed the purity
and adequacy Of their own judicial
tribunals. The cnormity of the mas
sacre fails TO impress us at this dis
lance, yet every loyal American cannot
but feel a twinge of shame, that an or.
CANNED mob of his countrymen should
commit M outrage so heinous and re.
voting.

NO HONEY THERE.

The surest method of advertising
ones ignorance is to affect knowledge
and speak magisterially. The Toledo
Bee, in reference to the claims of mari
tai relations set up by Fridlender's
Indian wife raises these elegant OBJ
jections:
CD There was never a 'Petoskey
tribe of Indians hence of course
the squaw in the case does not exist.
But there was tribe of Indians ruled
by Chief Petoskey.
(2) "The woman is not the daughter
of old Chief Pe-tos-e-ga." Well, how
does the Bee know? Petoskey, or Pc
tos-e-ga, had . variegsted lot of daugh-
ters of assorted sizes and color, if ira
dihon is true.
(3) cit Is an old and well-worked
scheme. These uncertain Indian testi-
monies "a to marriages, births and
heirships have figured conspicuously in
land-title cases in Northern Michigan
in days gone by. and secured the ends
of more than one land shark"
That is quite tue. but the Bee might
have found out, If it had cared to do
so, that the Testimonies as to mar.
rage" in this case are regular entry
IN Catholic church records at Harbor
Springs and a record in the Emmett
county clerks Office, besides numerous
letters from the frisky Fridlender him.

Democracy in this case. It's bitter

Secretary Alfred j. Murphy says he
will stake mis- reputation and life on the
assertion that he has never falsified the
official journal in reporting the pro-
eeedings Of the senate. He can very
we'll afford to stake the former and it
isn't worth keeping. He would do well
10 be little more careful OF his life,
however. as It would puzzle his party to
find such another tool. AS he was
assistant secretary of the Democratic
State Central Committee, under Prof.
Horsford he is al adept IN the line Of
work required by his party.
But what has he TO say about enter
ing on the journal Brevet-Senator Frld-
lenders name as voting YEA" on Sem
stor Doran's bill Wednesday, after
Fridlender had snesked into Lieuten-
ant Governor Strong's sanctuary?
That Is known to be fact, for three
reporters saw him make the "sneak."
Asa significant fact, too, 1t may be
stated that Fridiender's name does not
appear in the preceding or the succeed
ing roll call. The fact is that there
appeared to be great danger of Senator
Doran's bill not passing, as Republicans
refused to vote for it generally. Only
voted for it and Fridlender's name was
counted to make certain.
,yhot ha. ha cav oh not
entering the "yeas and nays" on the
journal in accordance with the rule
which says that it shall be done eff one
member require it." There is no other
way Of taking the vote and recording 1t
when the yeas and nays are 50 re-
quired. This rule does not contem.
plate a formal motion or even . re-
quest. A senator does not have to "get
the floor" even to make it. The presi-
dent has no discretion in the matter
and neither has the secretary. The
rule confers an absolute right, and the
secretary, who is required to keep "a
correct journal of each days proceed
ings" and who is sworn to do so, vio-
lates his oath of office when he will
fully neglects to enter upon that jour-
nal whatever the rules require. Never
before in the practice Of the Senate
under the rule has the demand for the
yeas and nays been ignored. All a
senator has had to do has been merely
to signify his requirement of the yeas
and nays at any time before the an
nouncement of the result, without even
SO much formality as rising in MS seat
or addressing the president or getting
the floor. And the secretary, upon
such requirement being made known,
has never waited for the president to
order roll call, but has taken the yeas
and nays at once. Such is the recog.
nized intent of the rule.

DEFEAT OF THE SHIPPING BILL.

The adoption Of the Postal Subsidy bill AZ
a substitute for the Senate Shipping bill by
the House of Representatives Friday IL de-
feat of the latter measure. for winch the
country has sincere cause for congratuation.
True, the DILL which was passed was another
robbery Of the treasury; that was to be looked
for rs a matter of course. Still, as compared
10 the other. 1t was a very mild robbery,
indeed. The Senate bill proposed TO expend
about 1900. OOO, 900 Of the peoples money for
the benefit Of few favored individuals and
corporations: this only takes from the treas
ury about si2. 900, 900, and is to be expended
by the Postmas;er-Generali in postal subsidies
TO vessels carrying the United States mail.
No contracts for less than five nor more than
ten years can be made. and the ships which
will ret the benefit Of it must be American
built and owned and Offered by American
citizens.
This is by no means so bad as il might have
been. and the defeat Of the Senate measure is
really n Democratic victory. The Republl-
cans in Reeds House struggled hard for over
twelve hours to indulge their robber in

were the blows they struck that enough Re-
publicans became either sufficiently frightened
or conscience stricken to OF last become COM

wholly so was 10 have been expected; but
there is such vast difference between sl2.-
900 900 to be expended in ten years and 1900
O00, 900 TO be spent at will, that the people
have right 10 feel they have gained decisive
victory over their despoilers.
This will be about the last chance the Re
publicans will have at the public crib. Only
three days Of life We. remain to the Fifty-frst
Congress-a body that will 60 down TO his

morrow there will be some minor thefts
in the way of stealing seats for
two or three Republican contestants in the
last moments Of the session. so that they can
draw their salaries for the full time, and be
allowed contcsting expenses. But few thou
sand dollars, more or less, will make little
difference to people accustomed to be rob-
bed by the hundred million. and the country
can now begin TO breathe more easily. The
Subsidy bill will be about the last serious
wholesale attack on the Treasury likely TO be
attempted.

Tolstoi's Latest Freak.

The little village Of Krapiwna. Russia, was
thrown in mild state of excitement recently
by the report that Count Leo Tolstoi. the nov
elist. was to defend a man who was to be tried
on a certain day for the murder of compan-
ion. The report gained considerable credence
when on the day mentioned the Count and
his daughter appeared in the little hamlet. ac-
companied by one oil, two friends. Toll
stois belief that man has no right 10 sit in
judgment upon his fellow was well
known in krapiwna. and the court
house became crowded with peasants
Among them was soon seated the
great novelist, wearing the gray weolen shirt,
heavy trousers. and the high boots of the poor
Russian. When the case was called. however.
he did not plead the cause of the murderer,
and the peasants were disappointed. But Toll
stoi secured the services Of the best lawyer in
the district and paid the expenses of the de-
Tense. During the trial he took notes zeal
ously. and manifested the greatest interest in
the result. He explained his zeal later. it is
said, by the assertion that he intended to use
his notes in the preparation OF new novel
