Secretary Blaine's answer to the Italian Gov
ernment's demand as set forth in Baron Favas
last official communication is perfectly clear,
logical and conclusive. ltalys demand for repa-
ration embraced two points an official assrr-
ance by this Government that tho murderers OF
Italian citizens in New-Orleans should be pun
shed and recognition of the principle that an
indemnity is due to the relatives of the victims
On the second point Mr. Blaine declares that, so
far from refusing to take this demand into con-
sderation. the United States has distinctly recog-
nized the principle of indemnity in this case
As to the other point, Mr.. Blaine makes it per-
fecty plain that our Government can give no
such assurance as is asked for. guarantee
that the alleged murderers should be punished,
in advance of their trial, would contravene the
Federal Constitution and the Constitution OF
Louisiana, would PREJUDICE the case, forestall
the verdict. and make impossible that impartial
trial which is guaranteed to every accused man
under our form of government.

TIE RROOKLYN INCENDIARLES.

when young Miller, the Brooklyn firebug,
was caught the police inclined TO attribute TO
him all the acts of incendiarism perpetrated in
that city during the last year Naturally it was
hoped that this suppostion was well founded,
for in that case there would be a reasonable
prospect of security in the future. Further in
vestigation however, shows that Miller had
models or imitators. and there is some ground
for supposing that he had accOmplices. Proof
is lacking that he was connected with all the
fires which bafiled the authorities from June Of
last year to the day of his arrest and it is GER
tain that he cannot be held directly responsible
for those which have been set since he was sent
TO jail
1t is not improbable, however, that his ex-
ample has suggested to others the idea of ere.

radical step was taken yesterday by the
lower house of the Connecticut Legislature
which decided to adjourn until next November.
This is perhaps as wise a thing as could be DONE
The deadlock between the two branches is APP
parently unbreakabe. The Democratic Senate
has refused to cooperate with the Republican
House in bringing the questions at issue before
the courts, and nothing is to be gained by keep
ing up the pretence of legislative sessions and
negotiations. Speaking plainly, the whole thing
has degenerated into farce, and people in Con-
necticGt, as we'll as out of il, can only rejoice
that there will be long "wait' before the
curtain is again lifted.

make the public buildings of the State tender

TIE TRIBUNE regards it as grave mis-
fortune that the Birkett Bridge bill was beaten
in the Senate yesterday. This bridge scheme
was the most promising ever proposed for con-
Meeting the Eastern District of Brooklyn with
Manhattan Island. Its defeat probably means
the end of legislation in that direction for this
session-mores the pity Mr.. ODonohue has
triumphed, and rivalry with his ferry company
Is thrown one year further into the future But
the bridge will come ultimately, all the same.
If Mr.. uhlmann and his associates are in earnest
las we believe they are-they will renew their
struggle for charter as soon as the Legislature
Of 1892 meets.

The liquor-dealers are growing panicky over
the failure of the Democrats in the Legislature,
backed by Senator Hill, to push ahead an Excise
bill which suits their notions of what an Excise
bill ought to be. Their organ, "The Wine and
Spirit Gazette" openly charges their legislative
allies with bad faith, and says tina. ns action is
to be taken on Excise matters at this session in
order to secure the election of both Democratic
Senate and Assembly next fall. Such threats
are calculated to alarm Governor Hill seriously,
and doubtless the modified Excise bill that is
being prepared under his eye will DO hurried
