Alliance in opposition to the two great

Alliance in opposition to the two great
parties.
The third narty movement started by the
agricultural politicians has as yet gained
but little momentum, ami there have been
doubts expressed in several quarters that
such party will be formed. As the Alli-
ance stands to-day there is not sufficient
coalition OF its branches to gain for it the
appellation, "party." Until coalition en-
sues, any talk of nomination is, to say the
least, foolish. II such party is formed it
will be, as shown before, party which by
It's nature will reintroduce sectional contro-
versy. It will arraign the South and West
against the North and East, and it does not
seem that such struggle will be profitable
to anyone. Under these circumstances it is
not probable that Judge Gresham will ac-
cept the Alliance nomination If rendered.
The farmers may have the pleasure of voting
for the Judge if they stick to the Repub-
lican party, which has been ever since its
formation the party of the people and for
the people, but hardly otherwise.

Blaine Defines His Position.

New York Herald, Ind.]
The correspondence between Italy ana the
United States, which we print elsewhere this
morning, is an interesting contribution TO the
literature of the subject.
Mr.. Blaine takes occasion to correct some
mistakes into which Rudini has impetuously
fallen, and to state the position Of this Govern
ment with regard to the unhappy affair much
more decisively.
Rudini received the impression from former
note that the principle of indemnity had been
fully conceded. end that the Secretary of State
had half promised financial reparation for the
families of the victims.
Mr.. Blaine quotes his own words and suggests
that they will properly bear no such construc-
ton. then fortifies his case by reference to
Mr.. Webster 8 correspondence with the Minis
ter Of Spain in 1851.
He plants himself on the position that if the
New Orleans sufferers received the same treat.
ment which American citizens would have
received under similar circumstances the
Italian Government has no ground for COM
plant and our treaty obligations have not been
infracted.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-04-17
Rudini Is Advised.

New York Times, Mug.1
For Americans and for such foreigners as un-
derstand our institutions, Secretary Blaine's
latest letter to the Marquis Imperiali throws NO
new light on the diplomatic aspects of the New
Orleans massacre. To the Marquis di Rudini,
however, the letter will be full of needed in
struction; and candoT compels MS to confess
that the Italian Minister'S want Of familiarity
with our Federal system and the respective
powers of the Government and of the State is
both natural and excusabe.
There is more in this statement than the Mar
quis di Rudini will see on the first hasty read
ing but we advise him, as he ponders its mean
ing phrase by phrase, TO give due attention to
Mr.. Blaine's mere hins at possible violations of
our immigration laws. That question may be-
come important as the discussion of the incl
dent proceeds.
Whatever may be the effect of this instruc-
tive dispatch upon the mind of the Marquis di
Rudini and upon that of his King, We note with
satisfaction the support which the reasoning
and the language OF Mr.ABlaine give to the DO
sition that Congress should make crimes in
violation of treaties punishable in the United
States Courts.

Blaine Uses Dignified Asperity.

L
Secretary Blaine uses in his dispatches dig.
nified asperity certain to rasp italian sensibili-
ties. Plainly and unhesitatingly he points out
the gross blunder into which the Italian Minis
ter fell in demanding speedy punishment where
he should have asked speedy trial. In dealing
with the demand for indemnity Secretary
Blame plants himself simply and solely on the
strict letter of the provisions of the treaty of
1871 which provides that each country shall
guarantee the citizens of the other in its own
territory "the most constant protection and Sc
curity for their persons and property, and
shall enjoy in this respect the same rights and
privileges as are or shall be granted to the
natives of the country, on their submitting
themselves to the laws there established"
Under this clause Italy is referred to the laws
of Louisiana for criminal redress, and gwen
the privilege of an appeal to Federal courts
in suits for damages. This is all the citizens of
the United States have in Louisiana. 1t is all
Italians can get The solitary concession Sec
retary Blaine makes and this rather of grace
than of right. is that IL the counivance Of the
local authorities is proved Congress will be
asked to consider the question of indemnify.
Secretary Blame stands, in short, by our sys-
tenn of domestic law and insists that the treaty
must be interpreted by it, and Italy take notice
of it and not of broader international rights.
In this position he will have the support of his
country, the approval of International public
opinion, and the assent, willing or unwilling, 1t
matters little which, of Italy.

Blaine Is Courteous, but Firm.

Philadelphia North American, Rep.l
Mr. Blaine's answer to the last note of the
Marquis dl RuDni. written on the l4th inst,
and Immediately transmitted to the italian
representative at Warrington. will repay a
careful perusal. for it defines the position Of
this country with luminous distinctness. Mr..
Blaine does not make the least recession from
the ground previously taken mp. On the con-
trary, in affirming aud reiteI ating his statement
of the American case he takes occasion to
dwell with a heightened emphasis upon the
cardinal points in his previous presentation of
1t HIS language is properly courteous. but it
is uuqualiiedly positive. The Marquis di
Rudini is again informed that the Federal
Government cannot interfere with the orderly
processes of law in Louisiana and he is re-
minded that, as regards the payment of an in
demnIty, Mr.. Blaine undertook to do no more
than to carry out the stipulations of the treaty
under which redressjs sought. If a case coming
within the operations of the treaty is made out
an indemnity will be paid; not otherwise Mr..
Blaine's letter will be read by the American
public with much satisfaction and entire ap-
prOYal

Italy Cannot Complain.


Baltimore American, Rep.l
Mr.. Blaine's letter is studiously courteous
and dignified. and there is not a line or sentiA
ment in it of which the Italian Government can
Justly complain; but, all the same, it contains
certain significant hints that will either curb
the fiery ardor of Rudiui or force him to make
a more ridiculous exhibition Of himself and his
country than he has yet done.
1t must be proved among other things, that
the men who were lynched were Italian sub
jects. living IN New Orleans agreeably to the
treaty with Italy, and not In violation OF the
immigration laws Of the United States, and that
they "were abiding in the peace of the United
States, and obeytng the laws thereof and Of
the State of Louisiana" II they were thugs
and assassns. who fed from their own country
to escape its vengeance they were clearly not
entitled to protection, and their families are
not entitled to special consideration at the
hands of the Government; or II, after they
reached this country. they conducted them.
selves as outlaws and cutthroats and were en-
liens and assassnate them. II necessary, for the
accomplishment of their vile ends, their fam
lilies are entitled to no further consideration
than will be accorded them in civil actions be-
fore the proper courts. This we take 1t to be
the plain meaning of Mr.. Blaine's letter. and it
is not the sort OF communications that Rudini,
by his bravado, has led his countrymen to ex-
pect.
Mr.. Blaine's reply would have been substan-
tally the same under any circumstances; but
had not the italian Government been guilty of
the discourtesy of recalling its Minister from
Washington and formulating its demands in
rude and insoIent language, Rudini would have
been allowed to dismount from his Pegasus in
gentler and more graceful manner.

The Corner Loafers.
From the Pittsburg Press.I

From the Pittsburg Press.l
The complaint about Fifth avenue loafers has
been heard over and over again during the few
fitful spring days we have had lately. The in
tolerable nuisance of the loafers that gather on
the postoffice steps In the evening has been en-
dured for SO long that PIttsburgers have come
to regard it as something that cannot be pre-
vented. Fifth avenue Is q mar
row street at best. When the loafer and
masher take possession of it, it is practically
impossible for decent people. Strangers say
that Pittsburg suffers from this annoyance
more than any other city IN the country. Why
should it? We have a wel-trained police force,
and chief who has shown more than once that
he is fearless in the discharge of his duty. Let
him attack loaferdom and masherdom in Pitts
burg, and see what comes of IL. Surely re-
spectacle women have some rights, although
Judging from the annoyances they are COM
pelled to suffer ON our principal thoroughfares
in the evening, we might doubt the fact.

Blaine III Dignified.
nO N D1b ~
New York Press, Rep.l

New York Press, Rep. = -
Secretary Biaine's reply to the latest note Of
the italian Government in regard to the New
Orleans affair is luminous and powerful state
paper. Mr.. Blaine's reference to the decided
backdown of the Italian Government from Its
earlier demand for the immediate punishment
of the mob's leaders Is clear and cutting, al
though it is couched in diplomatic language.
In way that is equally clear he sets the italian
Premier right in regard to his unwarranted as.
sertion that the United States Government had
Recognized that an indemnity is due" to the
families OF the mob's victims.
The dignlfed tone of the Secretary's reply Is
in pointed contrast to tho clustering manner
adopted by Italy The document cannot fail TO
make profound impression in Europe. 1t will
prove to the whole world the earnest desire of
the United States Government to see substan-
tial justice done in the matter. 1t will show
other nations how utterly baseless and silly
have been the puerile semi-threatenings of
ItaIv.

Will Not Please Italy.
Philadelphis Times. Dem.l

Philadelphia Times, Dem.l
Mr.. BlaIne's elaborate and careful reply to
the latest representation of the italian Govern
ment on the New Orleans affair will scarcely
prove satisfactory to the Marquis di Rudini,
and it will please him the less because it will
not be easy for him to answer it. From the
American point of view. Mr.. Blaine's position
appears impregnable. And the letter is all the
stronger because. with the utmost courtesy of
expression, 1t yet practically convicts the
Italian Government of ill-considered bluster if
not of actual Misrepresentation and juggling
with quotations. Possibly it may provoke Ru-
DIM to an angry rejoinder, but If harm should
States would be to blame.
