The Massacre in New Orleans.

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Baror
Fava. the Italian minister, formally
brought to the attention of the presi-
dent the slaughter of the Sicillian
prisoners in the parish Jail at New Or
leans. AS result Secretary Blaine
sent the following dispatch to Govern
or Nichols; lit has been represented
to the president by the minister of
Italy accredited to this government,
that among the victims OF the deplora-
BILE massacre which took place in the
city OF New Orleans yesterday were
three or more subjects of the king of
Italy. Our treaty with that friendly
government (Which under the consti-
tuition is the supreme law of the land)
guarantees to the Italian subjects dom
iciled in the United States the most
constant protection and security for
their persons and property making
them amenable on the same basis as
our own citizens to the laws of the
United States and of the several states
in their due and orderly administra-
ton.
The president deeply regrets that
the citizens of New Orleans should
have so disparaged the purity and ad-
equacy of the judicial tribunals as to
transfer to the passionate judgment of
mob n question that should have
been adjhdicated dispassionately and
by settled rules of law. The govern
ment OF the United States must give to
the subjects of fri emily powers that Sc
curity which it demands for our own
citizens when temporarily under for
eign jurisdiction. 1t is the hope of the
president that you will cooperate with
him in maintaining the obligations of
the United States toward the Italian
subjects who may be within the pre-
cincts OF the present excitement that
further bloodshed and violence may be
prevented and that all offenders against
the law may be promptly brought to
justice"

A Foolish Paper.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch has evil
IDENTIFY learned nothing from the wide
spread discussion of the question of
taxation. 1t admits that the present
system is unscientific and unjust
and imposes unequal burdens. Taxa
ton, it says, falls almost entirely upon
real estate and live stock, implements
and products of industry and does not
touch incomes or inheritances, while it
fails to reach those forms of personal
property which constitute the vast
wealth of the usurers and plutocrats.
The Post Dispatch, however, insists
that it does not follow that the bad sys-
tenn of personal property taxation can
be improved by abolishing such taxes.
1t declares that the demand of the Chi.
cago papers for entire exemption from
what they call the ''odious and unjust
personal property tax" is progress to.
ward Henry Georges Single Tax idea,'
which 1T declares simply means the
imposition of the whole revenue burden
upon land and labor, upon renters and
the consumers of the earth's annual
products" Such a system, it says, would
make the poorest laborer as big
taxpayer as the biggest capitalist We
hope that the Dispatch will take
the trouble to explain how tax on land
values is going to fall on labor, The
vast majority of laborers are now rent
ers of land, with the possible exception
OF farmers, most of whom pay the
equivalent of rent in interest on mort
cages AS the landlords are now OBJ
tanning from such people every penny
that can be exacted through com
petition for the use of land, we think it
will bother the st. Louis paper to
show how the taking of a portion, or
even the whole, of this rent, through
taxation, is going to enable the land
lord to charge any more, and thus shift
the tax.

The New Orleans Butchery.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Senator
Cullom said that he had no doubt
whatever that a large claim for indem-
nifty would be presented to congress as
a result of the action OF the New Or
leans mob. This appears to be tho
general opinion here among senators
and members as we'll as among lead
ing department officials.
Ex-senator Evarts and William Hen
ry Prescott two distinguished consti-
tutional lawyers, both said to-day that
the Italian government would un-
doubleday put in large claim for in
demnity, as in the case of China, when
the massacre OF Chinese occurred in
" yoming some years ago. Mr.. Tres
colt, speaking of the matter from "a
constitutional stand point said that
the federal government could do little
or nothing in the matter beyond urg-
ing that justice should be done until
the state authorities of Louisiana
showed conclusively that they could
or would not deal with the ringleaders
of the mob. The occurrence was a
criminal one, to be dealt with solely
by the local authorities of the state
until it became glaringly apparent
that they would not and could not do
anything that federal interference be-
came necessary.

Why are Wages High or Low

Look over the world to-day. In coun-
tries the most widely differing-under
conditions the most diverse as to gov
eminent, as to industries, as to tariffs,
as to currency-you will find distress
among the working classes; but every
where that you thus find distress and
restitution in the midst of wealth, You
will find that the land is monopolized:
that instead of being treated as the
common property of the whole people,
it is treated as the private property of
individuals; that, for its use by labor,
large revenues are extorted from the
earnings of labor. Look over the world
to-day, comparing different countries
with each other, and you will see that
it is not the abundance of capital or the
productiveness of labor that makes
wages high or low; but the extent to
which the monopolizers of land can, in
rent levy tribute upon the earnings of
labor Is it not a notorious fact, known
to the most ignorant, that new coun-
tries, where the aggregate wealth is
small, but where land is cheap, are al
ways better countries for the laborinp
classes than the rich countries?-Pro-
gress and Poverty.

WASHINGTON. March 7.-President
Harrison is being besieged with re-
quests from newspaper men in every
part OF the country for Invitations or
privileges to accompany him on his
trip to California next month. II he
were to permit every writer for the
press TO accompany him who desires
to do so he would have a train load.
1t would be necessary to discriminate
for and against certain persons and he
would therefore gratu;tously offend
many persons whom he would not dis
oblige II he could. He would, after
all, be held responsible for everything.
He has concluded that this is eminent
ly unfair, but that it would be proper
to give each OF the three regular press
associations an opportunity to have a
representative on his train. so that
every newspaper in the country that
takes Geographic dispatches would
stand upon an equal footing. Thus no
one would have just grounds for COM
plant. II the special correspondents
wish to go upon a special train or reg
ular trains or meet the presidential
party at points along the route, they
will be cheerfully received.

telegram from Governor Nichols O.
Louisiana that all was quiet at New
Orleans and that he will reply to the
secretary's telegram by letter.
No further action will be taken by
the federal authorities at Washington
until after the receipt of Governor
Nichols reply to Secretary Blaine's
telegram. Secretary Blaine has re-
ceived number of kilograms from
Italian organizations in different parts
of the country protesting at what they
call Outrage. and demanding that
all Italian citizens be properly pro-
tected. The matter is almost the sole
topic Of conversation in diplomatic cir
cles. and SO far as can be ascertained
the general opinion is that the state OF
Louisiana and not the United States
must be held responsible. The demand
for indemnity would of course come
from the Italian government, through
its minister resident, and transmitted
by the secretary of state to the gov
ernor OF Louisiana, and if repudiated
by that state would be submitted to
congress for such action as might be
deemed advisable.

Mr.. George on Australia.

Henry George has an article on Aus
tralia in the Cosmopolitan for January
in which he says: Here is country
with as large an area as our own, and
but one-twentieth of our population.
They have the Australian ballot; they
have responsible government; they
have a permanent, non-political civil
service; they have "A most admirable
and simple system of land registration
and transfer; they have government
ownership and operation of railroads
and telegraphs Professionalism has
with them reached more powerful
development than anywhere else, and
they have come nearer to the adoption
of the eight-hour working day. They
have State statisticians that shame our
National and State bureaus, and they
have carried paternalism in some re-
spects TO length unknown in any
other English-spcaking country. They
have, too, the same social and economic
problems. They have great public
debts. They have land monopoly in
gigantic form. They have had land
speculations that would equal, if not
surpass, those of any boom town of
our West. And flor it follows) they
have their unemployed their charity
organizations, and strikes, that in
relative magnitude and importance, are
the greatest that have anywhere yet
taken place"
This is n lesson for the Socialist With
far more than we have of what the So
cialist cries for, labor troubles are worse
than with us, and 5s.05 per cent. of the
population is in the cities. The reason
of the excellence of the Government is
perhaps explained in a later remark:
Fortunate above all other countries,
Australia has never known war;"
Waketields plan of colonization by
selling the land SO high that the poor
could not buy it and using the proceeds
to assist emigration is described.
Mr.. George gives short and enter
tanning lesson in geography, with map.
To those who are long from school the
facts seem fresh. Intelligent apprecia-
ton of institutions requires ability and
constitutes the main interest of this
paper Mr.. George thinks the Austria
lians are much like the Americans
The Literary Development of Cali
fornia," also in this number, contains
an excellent portrait of Mr. George. 1t
has, besides, some forcible words by
Edward E. Hale on Education of Pub
lie Spirit" in which he takes the ground
that government should come from the
people up, not from the upper classes"

WASHINGTON, March 16 - Land
Commissioner Croft has resigned. He
was found at his home and stated that
delicate health had led him to take
this step.
Judge Croft has contemplated re-
signing for some months, but has
postponed it ip the hope that his
health and that OF his family would
improve with the approach of spring.
His Oldest and youngest daughters
have both been i'll with malaria for
some weeks, and when he left his
Office yesterday it was to take fifteen
days leave and then to retire from the
Office.
Judge Croft may return to his home
in Omaha. He may be rendered an
other position where the climate will
be better for him and his family.
He has made the best officer the
land Office has ever had. He was paid
special compliment by congress in
having his salary raised from 81, 600
to &c. 900 year for unusual efficiency.
Now he stands in very high esteem at
the white house and his departure
will be regretted by everyone here
and on the public domain who knows
of his official work or his personal
popularity

Secretary Rusk Talks.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Secretary
Rusk was asked today what he thought
OF the statement by Minister Boetticher
in the German Reichstag, to the effect
that the new sanitary measures adopted
by the United States were Inadequate
and that Germany would not rescind
the prohibition upon American hog
products. Secretary Rusk said he could
hardly believe such statement had
been made for it imparts willful or pre-
tended ignorance of the legislation now
in force in this country. The last meat
inspection law passed by congress pro-
vides for the most thorough and COM
plete system OF inspection possible
more thorough than that now in force
in any other country. II ante-mortem
examination and microscopic examin-
alton will not satisfy the German gov
eminent it is simply because they do
not propose to be satisfied with any
system. This government has suffered
the imputations placed upon it's meat
products by foreign nations to exist
under cover of such pretexts long
time, but the time has about arrived
when unjust discrimination and false
statements as to the purity of meats
must cease. Such statements will no
longer be permitted to go unchallenged
by this government and such redress
as the laws of this country permit to
be should in my judgment be enforced.

. Slept for Eight NlOntNia.

GRAND RAPIDs, March 14.-Hiram
McConkey OF Springport jackson
county, has been fast asleep for eight
months. Last July he lost the power
OF speech, was taken sick. went to bed
and has not spoken or opened his eyes
since. Saturday night blood began to
flow from his head and ears. and sud-
denly he came to his senses. The doc
tors are dumbfounded by the phenom-
enon and explain it by the supposition
that some blood became clotted in his
brain which prevented it from being
active. He remembered nothing since
he went into the sound sleep. but can
recall everything previous to the time.
During the eight months the functions
of the body remained quiescent, the
man neither opening his eyes nor
speaking a word. McConkey is a mar
ried mae and has of late been granted
q pension for sevices in the war of
1912, and his wife has made applica-
ton for her husbands pension To-
day the judge was to have decided, but
the unlocked for awakening late on
Saturday night of McConkey has
caused Il suspension OF the proceedings
for a week
