For Gentlemen Only.

Is there a code of newspaper manners ?
This is one of the questions which George
William Curtis will discuss in the Editors
Easy Chair in Ha,per's Magazine for April.
The code of newspaper manners, he says, is
the universal code of courtesy, and not one
restricted to the newspapers. "Good man
ners in civilized society are the same every.
where and in all relations. If man is a
gentleman, he docs net cease to he one be.
cause he enters q newspaper office, and it
would seem to be equally true that if his
work on the paper does not prove to be that
of gentleman, it could not have been a
gentleman who did the work. A gentle
man, we will suppose, does not blackguard
his neighbors, nor talk necessarily about
himself and his achievements, nor behave
elsewhere as he would be ashamed to be-
have in his club or in his own family. If
gentleman does not do these things, of
course gentleman does not do them in a
newspaper"

The fact that the funeral of the strikers
who were killed in the riot at the Pennsyl.
vania coke works last week passed off with.
out disturbance is in itself vindication of
the action of Gov Pattison in promptly or.
dering out the militia-not to put down the
strikers, but to preserve the peace and pre-.
vent the loss of more lives. The right of
men to strike is as clear as their right to
work, and there is no doubt that these men
had grievance But strikers have not the
right to destroy property or intimidate other
men whose right is as fundamental as their
own right TO stop work. II there had been
tariff on imported labor equal to the tar
if on the protected industries of Pennsyl.
vania, or if the anti alien contract law had
been honestly observed and enforced there
would be better wages and less trouble in
that region.

AN ABSURD POSITION.

The aiternp,ed explanation of the nosi.
lion of the Italian government in recalling
its representatiye deserves place in the bu.
morous column. Italy, so Baron Faya saws.
cannot discuss the Question of the relation be.
tween our State and Federal government
She asks simply guarantee that the often.
ders in New Orleans will be punished by
law, and expects the Washington authori-
ties to furnish it. Thus wanting, she can
not hold diplomatic relations with US, and
this she calls putting the question on the
ground of accepted international law.
The argument is palpably absurd. Any
government has right TO require that its
citizens, when within the Jurisdiction of
another, shall receive precisely the same
treatment before the law that it accords to
citizens of its own. More than this it is not
possible to give or reasonable to ask. And
this law has been complied with. To give
Italy ground for complaint it would have
to be shown that those who put to death
subjects of the King of Italy, while resident
in New Orleans, were allowed to go free,
whiie those VINO Kliied the naturaiized
ltaiians were puhisneo' AS long as all
STAND on precisely the same iooung before
the law nothing more can De oone' ana the
requirements oil the Ia" Oh nauons nave
been iuily compilcd win.
Douby absurd is the expectation that the
Federal government can give q guarantee
as to what will be accomplished by the ma
chinery of justice in one of the States. 1t
is true that Italy has no concern with our
local authorities, and can deal only through
the authorities at Washington, but she must
nevertheless, in such questions as this recog-
nize the customs and institutions by which
justice is administered in the United States.
If an American traveller in Italy were to
;rangress some Municipal regulation and be
arrested for it, we might just as reasonably
demand at Rome that he should be indicted
by grand jury, tried by the petit jury and
sentenced only by judge elected by popu'
lar vote, as Italy can demand that the Fed
eral government give guarantee in a mat
