A Million Enemies,

l. Eco d'Italia, representative
Italian newspaper Of New York city,
issued an extra on the occasion Of
the lynching of the eleven italian
assassins in New Orleans, in which
occur these significant words
without words, we want satisfac-
ton, full and complete. If our
minister at Washington has not at
this hour made his word good, 600
600 Italians residing in the United
States will know how to do it."
The Eco also invited all Italians to a
mass meeting, closing its harangue
with the words: "Death to assas-
sins-death to those that allowed
such butchery." This and other
similar threats illustrate the spirit
of the Italian press and people in
this country. 1t also states facts
worth knowing and remembering.
It lets it be known that there are
100000 Italians in the United
States who are not citizens of the
country and that their secret cut
throat organizations to defy the
law and debauch the courts have
the sanction and support of the
Italian press and residents in this
country. With this knowledge be-
fore them the American people
should know how to act, and they
will know how to act. They will
tolerate more or less talk, even from
men whose presence and purpose
here, by their own confession, means
the disruption, through secret and
organized bands of oath-bound as
sassins. of our social fabric; but
an end to their forbearance will
sooner or later, be reached. When
that hour comes it will be too late
to make amends. A war against
aliens inaugdrated by such foul
means will end in the extermina.
ton of those who provoke it, and
the Malta bandits and their friends
would be safer in Withholding fur
Their threats. The doom that sc
recently and summarily overlook
their friends will be theirs also, il
they dare to attempt revenge, either
secretly or openly. It is no time
for child's play when there are a
million alien enemies at our doors
nor will much Of it be INDUCED.

understand clearly that the price Of
silver is depressed solely by unfa-
vorable legislation.
Equally fanciful and vulnerable
is MI. McDonald's assertion that
No nation has ever been able to
make a cheap currency circulate
along side of q dearer one. But
were the assertion true, the fact
would not apply in the case of sill
yer, which is not cheap in the sense
intended. Silver is product OF
labor, and statistics, were they OBJ
tainable, would inevitably show that
the labor expended in procuring an
ounce of the metal is, taking the
sums total of labor and product a
full equivalent therefor. Admitting
for the purpose of our argument,
that silver is cheap, MIR. Mcdonald
is no nearer right than before. "The

cial and Mining Record, ION the

Assassins Lynched.

On the 18th of October last the
Chief Of the New Orleans police was
assassinated. Investigation brought
to light the dreadful fact that the as
sassination was committed in obedi-
ence to an order issued by q secret
society of Italian assassins. The
people of the city, Notwithstanding q
danger so terrible confronted them,
were forbearing enough to give the
murderers fair trial, even waiting
till the excitement naturally conse-
quent upon SO horrible an outrage
had subsidized, in order that the
trial and conviction, that all knew
must follow if justice were done,
might not be vitiated by POPULAR ex-
element. Four weeks ago the court
convened, a jury was carefully i'm
paneled and the trial commenced.
Meantime the assassins had, by the
assistance of a corrupt detective
named O'Malley, arranged to de.
bauch the machinery of justice, and
secure their acquittal. During the
progress of the trial, as if to make
popular vengeance more swift IN its
action, the mayor of the city re-
ceived letter warning him that II
either of the assassins was convict
ed he (the mayor would be assas-
sinated.
The trial proceeded. To the dis
may and horror of the city, the
monsters were acquitted.
In honor of this achievement OF
corruption, bribery and assassina.
ton, Italian vessels lying in the
Mississippi attested their shameful
approval by a jubilant display OF
flags. This indecency no doubt
helped to infame the wrath of q
people who had already a greater
load than human nature could bear
A public meeting was called. Ii
was not a meeting of the city's riff.
raft, but of the best citizens of the
city - professional and business
men. Quietly and without show oil
excitement, these men determined
to rid the city, once and for all, OF
the hidden, organized murder-pests
that so boldly menaced the lives OF
all. Aiming themselves they went
quietly and soberly about their ter
rible work, and when it was done
they as quietly returned to the ar
mory, laid aside their arms and dis
persed. Eleven of the wretches had
paid the penalty Of their crimes
And now it is known that the jury
was bribed. These will the indicted
and tried for their crime, and il
justice be not done them by the
courts, it will be done by the same
people and by the same methods
employed against the assassins they
so corruptly shielded. For secret
murder societies will not be toler-
ated in this country, and the sooner
these alien miscreants find this out
the better it will be for them. Who
ever lives in this country mus,
submit to its laws and to our means
of administering justice. Any Other
course will end in disaster, every
time.
