The New Orleans Massacre.

The Malta at New Orleans sOwed the
wind and reaped the whirlwind. There
is no escape from such a harvest. 1t
| is a rule of retributiOn that is as old as
the moral law.-Kansas City Star.
Probably the terrible elimination of
! the state of affairs long existing in New
Orleans will lead to an investigation
which will expose this murderous sOcie-
ty in all its qualifications, and wipe it
out of existance, Certainly no effort
should be spared to turn on the light
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The last lesson ought to be enough.
We have our hands full already, but if
the evil is allowed to grow. another de-
cade may make it too great for us to
cope with. The first law which the
fify-seCond congress places upon our
statute books ought to be one for the
most rigorous system OF supervision and
restraint Of foreign immigration that
can be Gevised.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press
The government OF the United States
will show good sound judgment by
keeping well out of this New Orleans
Malta business. The slaughter of the
italian assassins has no international
quality or element in it. The assassins
were made to feel the vengeance of an
outraged community, not because they
were Italians. but because they were
secret aSsassins. 1t would have been
the same if they had happened TO
belong to any other nationality.-M
neapoli5 Journal.
At the time the New Orleans regula-
tors were killing the assassins who had
escaped conviction by bribery and per-
jury, the men of the life-saving station
at Sandy Hook were, at the peril OF
their lives. rescuing the crew of fifteen
from the Italian bark Umberto Primo,
ashore on ROmer Shoals. America is
hOspitable to all men and creeds except
those who teach assassination. Neither
the life savers nor the regulators asked
the nativity of the men, but they were
moved only by the first instincts of
human nature which knows nothing of
tionalities.-Louisville Courier-JOur-
nal.
The city clerk of New Orleans,
speaking of the recent massacre, says
it " was not the wild uprising OF a crazy
mob: it was the calm, deliberate action
of the best element of the city, That is
not the common view of it taken by the
editors of the country. Yet
we should not be unmindful that the es-
innate of such demonstrations depends
largely on the place and time Of the Oh
servation. We speak of the pioneers
of the revolution as patriots, though we
are aware that those not in sympathy
with them characterized the Boston
Tea Party as a graceless and cowardly
mob. and the Americans at Lexington
and Bunker Hill as a rabble. History
may yet justify the New Orleans action
in the eyes Of the whole civilized world. !
