self.KiIling the Crime OF Intellectual

Self.Killing the Crime OF Intellectual
Peopies
William Matthew in North American Rsvisw.l
Besides imitation there are other social
influences which lead to suicide; but the
most powerful is that which We denote by
the general term civilization. Self-killing
is emphatically the crime of intellectual
peoples. Almost unknown to savages,
rare among Mohammedans, IL RACES among
the nations most advanced in culture and
refinement with a heTceness exactly pro-
portional to their mental development
1t is said that Rome knew nothing Of
this curse till after the establishment Of
the empire. 1t was when the Roman
legions had carried their eagles triv nph-
antly through the world, and brought
back the means OF luxury in the spells Of
Europe, Asia and Africa, that life In the
Eternal City began IN be weary. stale,
fat and improbable" Today the Ger
mans, who are the profoundest thinkers
and the most cultivated people, are also
the most suicidal race in Europe. France
comes next, England third. Italy snd
Hungary fourth; while on the other
hand Spain, the most backward of
European nations in culture, Ireland, Por-
tugal, Corsica and Delmatia rank the low
est in the suicidal scale OF the different
regions of the same country, the north
and northeast of France outrank in cul-
ture and in suicide the center and SOUTH
west; the north and center of Italy cnt-
rank the south and the islands; and Sax
ony, which in it's schools and general cul-
ture SURPRISES the rest OF Germany, sur
passes it also in the number of suicides.
In short, so universally does the rule hold
that The strength OF the tendency to self
killing may almost be regarded as an in
dex to q peoples civilization.

RLAINE'S r PLY AT ROME.
The Important Letter Arrives IN Italy and
Its Effect.

The Important Letter Arrives IN Italy and
Ats Effect.
ROME, April 1.-THE reply OF the U. S.
secretary of state, Mr.. Blaine, to marquis
di Ruuini's last note on the subject of the
New Orleans affair is the only important
subject OF conversation and newspaper
comment throughout Italy. The full text
OF the reply reached this city today.
When it became known that the reply had
reached here the marquis di Rudini, the
L. S. minister, the Hon. A. G. Porter, and
other persons holding positions which
would enable them to express valuable
opinions upon the New Orleans dispute
were besieged with intervIewers. The
substance Of the opinions the gentle
men referred to ware able TO express is
that the controversy is in course of adj
justment and that so far as the future me-
gotiations are concerned, the diplomats
will seek chiefly to establish and maintain
the correct construction of the various
points OF international law which bear
directly or indirectly upon the subject.
1t is officially denied that there il any
truth in the reports sent from Rome to
the Chronicle of London that the Hon.
4. G. Porter, the L. s minister to Italy,
is upon the point OF departing from Rome
on a months leave OF absence.
The hess1gerO today says that Mr..
B,aine's reply to the marquis di Rudini's
last note evinces the great desire of Mr..
Blaine to elude the demands of the Italian
government, to escape from indemniiying
the families of the men lynched at New
Orleans and TO refrain from acceding to
the Italian governments right 20 intervene
in the New Orleans affair.
The PopoIo Romano. also discussing Mr..
Baine's reply, says that in view of the
tenor of Mr.. Blaine's answer To the mar
quis di Rudini's note. il is difficult to form
any idea as how or where the matter will
end.

NEW YORK, April l7.-Dr. Luigi Roversi.
the editor of IL Progresso Halo-AmericGno.
writes long editorial this morning on the
note of Secretary Blaine to the Italian
government. 1t reads as follows:
This note. considered effectively, does not
give tie least sat sIactoD, and it clearly reveals
a strong Discrimination to give any or to admit
that Italy has the right to demand satisfaction
or reparstiOn of any kind. The note Of Blaine
is stu and not couched in the usual courteous
language OF dip. omatio forms. Ii Is almost dis
courteous. Perhaps we are mistaken as to the
obje that Mr.. Blaine has in view; still il is
known. and well known, that several
OF the men massaored did not full
fill all the demands in regard to charac-
ter aud past life that the new IMMIGRATION laws
OF the United States exact. We, for our part
do not see what the home government will be
able to answer. what line OF reasoning IL will
find to answer Mr. Blaine when the attorney.
general OF Louisiana with papers and certified
penal documents OF the Kingdom OF Italy wall
have proven that the victims OF the lynchers
had no gal right TO residence in New Orleans,
and that the collector OF that port had per-
feet right aud authority to prohibit their land
ing, and could have returned them to Italy
on she same ship by which they came IL he
disposed. Mr. blaine's theories on the
protection OF aliens in this country are simply
SUPPLYING in their crude and cynical audacity.
They conflict with every accepted theory OF in
ternational equity and will cause an Outburst
OF indignation in the whole civilized world and
spread abroad the suspicion that treaties signed
with America are not worth the paper upon
which they are written.
This republic which the glorious declaration
of Independence placed upon the highest pin
nacle OF ideal justice. liberty and maternity,
has through misunderstanding. through ego
tism. and pride, been led away by q false and
foolish feeling OF national pride and honor and

Fava's departure; that while he transmits
Rudini's views they are over his own sig
nature, and that Secretary Blaine, in his
last letter, April IA, addresses himself 10
the Marquis Imperiali. These facts may
be regarded as final evidence, that so lar
from diplomatic relations between the
two countries having been interrupted,
they are On practically the same footing
as il the minister had not quilted Wash
ington, for the marquis seems to De dis
charging the full functions of charge
d araires, and so, as minister, he received
Secretary Blaine's note last night. But its
publication WAS deferred until today in
order to observe the proprieties and afford
opportunities to the Marquis Imperiali to
transmit the note by cable to his govern
ment in advance OF its publication to the
world
Secretary Blaine's note contains inter
nal evidence that this government has not
been threatened il an answer was de-
layed, or OF disregard for such threat
if it was made, in the leisurely manner in
which he states that the president 'has
taken flu time for consideration, Of the
treaty questions involved. 1t is also
noticeable that the secretary promptly
checks the attempt made by Rudini to
commit the United States to promise to
pay indemnity by pointing TO the
guarded language OF his first dispatch,
and INDUCING in number qualifications,
the purpose of which is to require COM
plete demonstration OF several matters
that may be very hard to demonstrate;
such. for instance, as the fact required to
be legally shown that Louisiana officials
connived at the killing OF the Italians, or
that they purposely failed to peform their
duties. 1t Is also significant that the sec
rotary has so far found small authority
for the ASSUMPTION in some quarters that
the United States may prosecute the
guilty parties in its own tribunals; but it
appears that the department OF justice is

The sky was bright and clear and
the walk through the cool shadows
of the fragrant pine forest was de.
lightful and inspiring. Before our ex-
plorations were finished, however, IL
had clouded up and by the time we
were ready to start back to the hotel
it had begun to rain. We started
down the path, which zig-zags like a
rail fence to get down the steep hill
side, and followed it faithfully for
some time. But the rain increased
and our haste augmented proportion
ately, and SO We concluded to shorten
the distance by going straight across
instead offollowing around the angle OF
the path. The hill was steep and wet
and covered with pine needles and it
was smooth work sliding down. But
somehow the path which we had left
ON the zig-failed to gag back again.
We kept on for some distance in the
brave hope that it would, but it
didn't. And after about fifteen min
utss it dawned on us that we were
lost, lost in the depths of the Black
Forest in the midst of pouring storm!
Isuggested to the Massachusetts, man
that such was about the size of the
situation, to which he replied that it
was "a darned sight more romantic
than it was pleasant. L rebuked
him for his profanity and his lack of
sentiment, and we started back up
the mountain to find that recreant
path. And then how it did rain! And
how slippery those pine needles werel
And how steep the hill wasl And how
wet we got! And how the Massachus.
