ONE of the most interesting ques-

law is that Of the demands of the
Italian government for reparation
for the murder of the prisoners at
New Orleans. If enough grows out
of the affair to get the persons who
took justice into their own hands
into serious trouble, long continued
perhaps the result will be TO cool
down somewhat the fiery, uutamed
advocates of lynch law in America.
At any rate the settling of this mat

United States government may, I'M.
der the constitution, hold one Of its
component states responsible. If in
demnity is to be paid, viii the Uni

general principles, 1t is certain the
United States Is bound to enforce
justice and maintain order where
an individual state is unable or un-
willing to do it. The decision of
this case will also affect the rela-

onies, determining just how far the
central government is responsible
and how far the colony is indepen

We fully agree in the sentiments
expressed by the Easto's Gazette that
Gin view Of recent occurrences it
would seem proper that law should
be enacted compelling all foreigners
who come to this country with the
intention Of engaging in business, in
any capacity, to renounce allegiance
to their former country and make
application for citizenship in our
own. At first glance such a law
would appear to be unnecessarily
harsh; but it isn't. It's opponents
will charge that it will restrict inn
migration, and it will; and that is
just what this country has got to do
sooner or later, the sooner the bet

be done than by compelling all for.

last week reached the unprecedent-

due to the grip and pulmonary dis
