WAS CONSUL FROM BOLIVIA.

One of the New Orleans Victims an On
cial from south America.
WASHINGTON. April 1S.-A singular
fact in connection with the Italian mat
ter, which has entirely escaped attention
up to the present time, is that ore of the
leading Italians lynched at New Orleans
actually at the time of his death, was
the recognized consul at the port of a
foreign government-not that of Italy.
Joseph Macheca, the alleged head of the
Mafia, and the most prominent of the
victims OF the mob, still stands on the
records of the state department as the
duly accredited and recognized consul
OF Bolivia in New Orleans. He was q
wealthy merchant. His firm of Macheca
Bros. still continues the agency of one
OF the important steamship lines touch
ing at New Orleans and trading with
south American ports, and il was prob
ably from this connection that Macheca
came 10 be appointed 4.4e
Consul for bolivia.
The hard fact remains that he was such
consul at the time of his unauthorized
execution. Bolivia has no diplomatic
representatives here. Its most promi-
nent agent is Consul General Barrio, of
New York. 1t does not appear that he
has made any movement in the matter.
Mr.. Barrio was delegate to the recent
international monetary commission
which sat in Washington. incidentally
during his visits to the Capitol in that
connection he mentioned with regret
that since the disastrous Chilli Peruvian
war Bolivia had been left without any
seaport. and had to do all her commerce.
threugh neighboring states. Bolivia.
without navy or a seaport, is q very
small factor among nations. Neverthe-
less 1t Is possible that some explanation
may be asked of the United States as to
the killing Of one of its consuls.

An Absurd Assertion.

In answer to a correspondent the
TenSas Gazette says:
As to the question suggested by
"Nictor," we have always cOnsid-
cred the assertion that the lottery
company would control the politics
vf the State in the event of a re-
ncwal Of Its charter. as the most
absurd and most easily related Of
all the arguments ns"d by those
Opposi q 10 the amPnim" Mt.
For reaSOns, manifcStIy wise, the
power of looking into the future
has been denied us; no man can
tell what will happen tomorrow,
nor can we tell with absolute Ger
tainty, what will be the future
course of action of any man or set
of men. We can, however, in many
instances, determine with reaSona-
bic accuracy, what will happen in
the future ny reference to What has
happened in the past.
Now this lottery company is no
new and unknown experiment We
are about to try it has existed III
Louisiana for tWcnyy-three years,
nearly quarter OF ccntary 1t
is not within the power OF amy hu-
man being to show that it has ever
intcrfercd in the politics of the
State. or has ever dictated or at
tempted to dictate rs to the n"mi-
nation or election of any one OIL =
cial. Surely if it was ever SO dis
posed, if it ever had such power, it
would nave been exercised III 1883,
when the officials then elected were
TO hold office at time of gray est
consequence 20 the lottery cOmpa-
ny, the time during which it would
seek > renewal OF is charter.
L! has never been suggested, new.
cr even been charged that this
company interfrred IN that election
further than to present the Mich.
oils fiction with $4,000 for cam
paign purposes, and If at such Il Vi
tai period no interference was at
tempted, is it not unreasonable to
presume that it viii ever become
an Objectionable or offensive factor
i'll our politics.
This lottery company if rcchar-
tered will become the slave and not
the master of the people holding
as it must by uncertain tenure, the
will OF the people, as p ain COM
mon s5nse proposition, the pro-
meters thereof must necessarily
strive to render themselves CRATE
full to those upon whose good will
their very existence depends. For
as sensible men they are aware
that any attempt to influence or
control the politics of the State
would render them so offensive
that the people of Louisiana would
at the earliest possible election
sweep them OFT the face of the
earth.
We do not believe that the lot
terry company can ever exert any
political influence in Louisiana.
We hope to be ever fair in our dis
cussion of this problem with which
we are now confronted, and we are
free to admit. what our correspOn-
dent sugg' SIS concerning the no

Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1891-02-28
r

The following fine piece Of word. paint
ing is from the pen of G. G. Goodwin Of
the Salt Lake Tribune:
When the guns of Porter's feet began
to boom in front of Yicksburg, the guns
of Sherman began to answer back from
the shore. Thunder replied to thunder
until the defenders of the ~beleagured
city could bear the torture no longer and
~capitulated. That was eight and twenty
years ago. Both the Admiral and the
General were then in their prime. The
heart OF one responded to the pulse
throbs Of the river and the sea; the
other with an unconscious power moved
a sovereign among his fellow men on the
shore. Both fell asleep last week; the
Admiral a little in advance Of the Gen
eral. Did the latter again hear the call
Of the former, not through the lannon's
mouth. but through the still small voice
which may penetrate the BARS Of the dy-
ing, but cannot be heard by those in
health? Did the stormy soul Of Porter
wait for the stormy soul Of Sherman TO
join it before it started for the final
b~ivouac? Their guns sounded together,
almost together they went down the
final decline, and the boat that carried
across the soul of the Admiral, on its
return took on the soul of the General.
Three weeks ago the General calling
upon the Admiral and finding him sleep
ing. babe the family not to disturb him.
adding that he would rather not see his
friend unless he could be as he had al
ways been when they met. Have they
met now, and with all the inirmities
of the earth washed away by the spray
of the dark watersi Let us hope so,
and that they are where there is only
beauty and JOY, where no wars are ever
known and no boom of heavy guns ever
shocks the celestial air.

THE FREE COINAGE BILL
BURIED.

A Washington dispatch Of the Goth
instant says: The House Coinage Com
mittee to-day by a vote of eight to four,
decided to report the Senate Free Coin
age bill adversely, Nth q recommends
ton that it do not pass.
The four members in the minority
were Carter, Bartine, Bland and Will
Jams. The two first named are Repub-
licans and the two last are Democrats.
The majority was Wickham, Walker,
Comstock, Knapp and Taylor Republi.
cans, and Tracy, Wilcox and Vsux,
Democrats.
When the free coinage men found
they were defeated in the Senate Free
Coinage bill, Carter moved as a substi-
tute to the frst a bill for the free COIN
age of the American product and the
next one for the purchase Of ten mill
Ions OF silver for three months and six
millions each month thereafter. Both
were defeated. Only Carter, Bartine
and Bland voted for the first and Carter
and Bartine for the second proposition.
The Senate Free Coinage bill will now
go to the foot of an overburdened House
calendar with the committees recon-
mendation that it do not pass.
Before the committee closed it's hear
ings this morning Congressman-elect
Jerry Simpson Of Kansas argued in favor
Of free coinage. The farmers demanded
