NEW ORLEANS JURY.
A wholesale Indictment Ebas Will
Give Offence TO No One.

NEW ORLEANS, April l9.-IC Is
authoritatively learned here to-
night that by the end OF next week
the famous report of the Grand Jury
which is investigating the tragedy
at the Parish Prison, and the result
of whose labors has been so anxious
ly looked forward to. will be pre-
sented to the public.
The jury has been at work on the
matter fully month now, and a
large number of witnesses have been
examined from different walks in
life. The Government at Washing
ton in it's correspondence with the
Italian Government has not failed
to impress upon the latter the fact
that the Grand Jury of the State
of Louisiana was the supreme au-
thority as to whether there should
be prosecution or not, and the
gentlemen of the jury, who are
prominent leaders in the commercial
and social interests of the city, are
fully alive to the international aspect
of the case.
The jury held its last session on
Friday. On that day it adjourned
until Tuesday morning. 1t is learn
ed tonight that between 300 and
400 citizens will be summoned to
testify before the jury when it meets
on Tuesday, and that, when the
testimony is all in, the jury will be
ready to report.
Among these who are in the secret
of the intention of the jury to sum
mon so large a number of witnesses
different theories as to the cause
therefore are assigned, but the gen
era] impression is that these per-
sons will be summoned to tell who
were present in the crowd armed or
unarmed, and tacitly encouraging
the commission OF the tragedy,
1t will not be difficult matter to
obtain these names, and the result
will be that the jury will return in
dictments, not only against the per
sons who led the movement and who
signed the card calling the mass
meeting, and those who were in the
prison VIXEN the actual shooting was
done, but against very large num-
Der of citizens who were present
In other words, very large pro-
portion of the community, it is ex-
pected, will be wholesalely indicted.
It is feft that this would be the
proper move, inasmuch as all who
went down to the prison and
morally supported the movement
with their presence are equally
guilty with those who were actual
leaders and avengers. 1t is also
stated on the very best authority
that the report will be sensational
one in many respects, and that in
the treatment of the tragedy by the
jury New Orleans and its citizens
will not be injured to any extent.

right to adhere to the Ian sulee of their
fathers, and that they have the right to
cling to their religion, national character
and the like. In fact that is true, but in
essence one who becomes an American
citizen should not retain other than a
retrospectively sentimental regard for the
things put behind him. He should de-
sire, above all things, to learn the lam
guage of the nation Of which he has be-
come a sovereign, and to assimilate with
the new conditions of his environment as
fully as possible. If he becomes citi-
zen with the reproach in his heart toward
his adopted country that it is unjust
towards him regarding his religion or in
any other respect, then he has committed
grave offense in assuming the oath of
the citizen. Between the lines of the
Cahensley memorial we discover the pur-
pose to keep naturalized citizens of the
United States in the bondage of clan and
clique, to retain q hold upon them by
in foreign lands and are operated by
princes and potentates that have no other
than a jealous feeling towards the Amer
lean Republic. To adopt the words of
the memorial, Through their immi-
grants the nations are acquiring in the
great republic an influence and import
ance of which they will one day be able
to make great profit"

WATSON AFFAIR.

The New York Odd Fellows Also Ex-
pose Him.
Mention was made in the RECORD
UNION on Tuesday of the fact that a
young swindler named Watson was
travelling in this direction from Winnie
mucca, New. a special press telegram
from New York last night has this to say
about him:
The Odd Fellows have issued circu-
lar warning brethren throughout the
country against Harry O. Watson, an ex-
PEELED Princeton student, who has been
swindling the collegians, odd Fellows
and others. He was last heard of in
Palisade, New. Watson is q years old,
slender, tall, with fair complexion and
clean shaven face. He is rapid taIl<er,
very plausible in conversation, and is an
expelled member Of Guiding Star Lodge,
No. 262.
Sometimes he calls himself Weston,
at others WestmOre, and also Day His
father is well-known resident of Massa-
chusetts, who has several times helped
his son out of bad scrapes. Watson
eloped with a respectable girl of New
York City, but she finally left him when
she discovered his worthlessness. He
now has an actress with him."

The change in the Signal Service
which removes that branch from the
War to the Agricultural Department-has
deprived Signal Officer Barwick of his
title as Sergeant. There is, however, no
law to prevent people from designating
him as Sergeant; they may go even
further and clothe him with the title of
Colonel, il they so desire.

OF DRAINAGE ONCE MORE.

If the drainage discharge pump is to
remain at Eighth and Y streets then un-
questionably Trustee Mclaughlin is
right in his statement that more capa-
cious discharge pipe is necessary. At
present the full capacity of the pump is
not utilized, simply because its discharge
Drain is inadequate. What is needed is
an additional discharge pipe. Use the
one now in up to its capacity, but add
another by which the two will exceed the
capacity of the pump. 1t may be that
since we are TO have permanent sewage
disposal system that it will not be eco
nomic at this time to cut nineteen-foot
drain down to Front street so as to ope-
rate the pump at the foot of Y street. If
so, and it is to be used at its present loca-
ton, let us, in the name of reason, use it
for all it is worth. To do this the dis
charge pipe must be reinforced as sug-
gested and, therefore, the sooner the bet
ter
In the meantime, while we are waiting
for date when we can command the nee
essary funds to inaugurate the precipita-
ton system, why not set about getting
ready? Perhaps the preliminaries are be-
ing attended to-we hope so. But if not
there should not be lost an hour. Definite
plans are to be adopted; surveys must be
made; then the necessary land must be
bargained for, and then the actual cost of
all the works ascertained. Now all these
things require good deal of official time,
and the sacrifice on the part of some of a
good deal of private time. If the work
of predatory ascertainment is to be en-
tered upon, who is to do it? Is it to be
cast bodily upon DIR. Nichols? However
willing, is it proper for the city to put so
much responsibility upon single shoul-
ders. Our idea is that one of the Trustees,
say the Street Commissioners, since drains
and drainage fall within the province of
his office, accompanied by a competent
local engineer, or by the Health Officer,
or both, should go to Worcester and ex-
anime the precipitation system there
Returning, they will be able to give us
within the next six weeks all the detailed
information of which the city stands in
such need.
Then the officials can formulate in de-
tail the plans, and get all the working
designs into such orderly arrangement,
that the presentation of them to the peo-
pie will win for them instant approval
Then Will come the financial questions in
volving ways and means. These we be-
ieve the city will be in position to
handle well, by the time the plans are
ready for a disposal system. But if
pumping at Eighth and Y streets means
quiescence as to the disposal question,
then it would be better far for the pump
TO break down and to remain broken.
We want no more procrastination on this
subject. Sacramento has been putting
off too long, and 'getting on" with make
shifts too much, and greatly to her injury.

THE CAHENsLEY MEMORIAL.

The proposition of the Cahensley me-
mortal to the Papal College is, in the
simple English, which these foreign
priests so much affect to fear, that so far
as Catholic population in the United States
is concerned, this nation shall be cut up
practically into lot of foreign colonies,
each retaining its tongue, customs and
national peculiarities. The reason given
for this policy is certainly stated with
remarkable frankness, to wit, that it will
be presently found to the advantage of
European powers to have in the United
States a large body of people in sym
pathy with them, speaking European
tongues and really Americans in name
only. That is TO say, the Cahensley me-
mortal, stripped of all its yerbiage, is
plain proposition that the Catholic
Church shall lend itself to the mainte-
nance in America of clans and cliques by
nationalities, having in view the time when
they win be useful to enable European
monarchies 10 exercise in the United States
apotential influence in shaping American
policy TO suit the selishness of foreign
princes and potentates. In other words,
the whole scheme, under the guise of a
religious equalizing of educational and
priestly ministrations, is one to SOW in
this country the seeds of discord and of
ultimate disruption OF the nation, and to
turn over its Administration to foreign
powers through Il, agencies they may
maintain among Us, .oyal to the republic
in name, but in reality sworn to do the
bidding of foreign powers.
No American can contemplate this
scheme with calmness. While it is in
sisted that it relates wholly to the spirit
ual welfare of Catholics, we cannot be
blind to the plain and obvious intent OF
the promoters of the idea, and that is to
influence those immigrants to the United
States who speak other than English to
cling to their native tongue, their tradi-
tions and their customs, and to resist the
disposition to Americanize. The memo
rial in so many words declares that in
becoming Americans the alien-born do
not under the Constitution forfeit the

aggravated cases. An alcoholic principle
embodied as a medicated stimulant in the
form of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
and will ever prove the best specific.
Leading continental and American ply
slcians declare that q medicine with a
spirituous basis, such as this, affords the
surest guaranty against the tremendous
lnroads Of this shocking malady. When
we consider that slight change of
weather is apt to renew it, that it attacks
those easily vulnerable organs, the lungs,
that its progress is tremendously swift
and destructive, we must admit the ne
cessity of repelling it at the outset with a
sure preventive. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is also safeguard against mala-
ria, dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver and

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Our evening contemporary, the Bee,
entered upon its seventieth volume last
evening. 1t has been published for
thirty-four years, and has progressed
steadily during all that time until it is one
of the best evening papers on the Pacific
Coast. In fact, it has no superior among
the evening papers Of California, and few
in any State. 1t is wide awake, full of
enterprise, has opinions, and expresses
them freely, and is in every sense first
class newspaper.
