DIXON ON DANA.
The Preacher'0 Warmest Com
plinnents to the Editor.

Rev. Thomas Dixon. of New York, but
a Cleveland county. N. c., man, had
some things to say about the New Or
leans matter, Now Rev. Dixon, in re-
viewing criminal statistics in the preface
to his sermon last Sunday, says about
the Sun and the sarcastic Dana:
"Iu an editorial, March "a, the Sum- in
the face of the terrible facts that | have
narrated, and thousands of others that
stare us in the face, has the assurance
to say: Nowhere in the world is there
q community in which law and order
prevail more than here, and in which the
respect for courts and judicial processes
is more profound.
This newspaper is one of the most in
teresting criminal phenomena of our
times. Its influence i'll debauching the
public mind is in one sense appalling con-
sidering the number of fools there are in
the world who believe what they see in
print is so because it is in print. l read
the Sun at least once week, for the
same reason distinguished Methodist
editor OF New York says he reads it every
day, viz: am here to destroy the works
of the devil, and | want the news straight
from headquarters. Its pages flash with
human genius, and yet it is the living
embodiment of all that is most brutal in
our life. 1t has no faith in God or man.
at has been the champion of most OF
the great scoundrels that have flourished
in New York for years. The work of pun
ishing criminals and vindicating the maj
csty of the law has been left to others.
1t has especially taken delight in slander-
ing and curslng the greatest and noblest
ministers of religion, whose lives have
blest this nation. 1t claims to support a
great national political party, and yet
lays awake at night to think up new ep-
thets to hurl at the only man who has
led that party to success in generation.
! To earn its condemnation is the highest
compliment decent man can win in
New York, Its powers Of wilful lying are
simply sublime"

DIDN'T KNOW WASHINGTON.

Boston art has reached stage where
it decides that what it long supposed to
be bust of Samuel Adams is really a
bust of George Washington. This is
certainly great advance in knowledge,
but what use has Boston for bust that
is not related to some branch of the
Adams familv?-St. Louis Republican.
IL Boston makes many more mistakes
similar to that ofworshipping a statue OF
George Washington as one of Samuel
Adams, she will have to retire from her
position as the center of American cul-
ture. Such dense ignorance would be in
excusable even in Colorado mining
camp.-Kansas City Times.
Boston is all torn up. 1t has just dis.
covered that a marble bust which for
many years has adorned the state house,
labeled Samuel Adams" was really a
bust Of George Washington. Where are
the critics of the Hub? And where, oh
where are Cabot Lodge and Grandpa
Hoar a-Cincinnati Enquirer.
For many generations the Bostoness
have been worshipplng an image o
Washington u the state house, suppJs
irg it to be the shrine of Saint "Sun'
Adams. The next 100 wears they shJtit
do penace by walking with lheir beaa
in their shoes instead of the usual plas'
of deposit. detroit Journal.
The idea that Boston cultare shoEls
be laboriug under such blunder is 40

ENGLISH sYNDICATEs.

These Days.
BALTIMORE, April 3.-This weeks
Manufacturer Record publishes ex-
tracts from the letter pf an English cor
respondent holding intimate relations to
the iron and steel and the financial cir
cles of Great Britain, which states that
the British company which has pur-
chased property in Sequachee valley,
East Tennessee, has e25O,O00 capital
and the strongest English directory yet
organized for operations in the south.
The American representatives are John
H. lnman, John {. Calhoun and Gen.
Chamberlain of the Southern Iron Com
pany, of Chattanooga. Another syndi-
cate has sent an eminent British expert
to examine 100, 900 acres of timber, coal
and iron, and fire clay lands on Ticking
river in Kentucky, which will be pur-
chased and developed il the experts re.
port is satisfactory.
A second syndicate, with a capital
stock OF e6,000,OOQ, is being organized
to make extensive purchases in the south
for which negotiations are now in pro-
grcss. This company expects to secure
its property in time to b gin work next
autumn. Ths same writer says that the
recent rumors that the British syndicate
behind the Kimballtown company, O
Tennessee, has purchased also the prop
erty of the Tennessee Coal, iron and rail
way company in that state, and will
unite all its acquisitions under one man
agement, are correct. This reported
purchase does not include the Alabama
properties of the Tennessee coal, iron
and railway company.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The following is
the text ofa letter from Governor Hill
read at the meeting of the Manhattan
single tax club held in Cooper Union last
night. 1t was addressed to Lewis F..
Post from Albany
II am in receipt of your letter OF
March % inviting me to attend the
free trade mass meeting, to be held
at Cooper Union Thursday evenings
While thanking you for your cour-
tesy, cannot attend the meeting
because | have no sympathy withits pro-
posed purpose. l am not an advocate of
freeatrade and never have been. stand
with the democratic party in favor of
tariff reform, which means reduction of
the present excessive and iniquitous tar
i'll and the retention of tariff limited to
the necessities of the government eco
nomically administered.
81 am earnestly opposed to the attempt
which is now being made in some quar-
ters to undermine the sound and conserv-
ative position Of the democratic party
upon this question, to commit it irrevoc-
ably to the doctrine of free trade. The
men who are engaged in this effort, no
matter how honest or sincere they may
be in their individual convictions, have
no right to longer masquerade as true
democrats, while seeking to commit the
party to policy which it has always
distinctly repudiated.
"They greatly mistake public sentiment
who assume to construe the revolution
of last autumn at the polls as a popular
manifestation in favor of radical tariff
legislation. 1t was, so far as the tariff
was an issue, popular outburst against
excessive duties, against restricted mark
cts, against war taxation for the benefit
of the favored industries, but only blind
theorists could see in it any indication
that the people are impatient of all
tariffs and desire resort to direct taxa
tion to secure the necessary revenues for
the support of the government.

ROME, April 3.-Premicr Rudini today
telegraphed to the secretary of the lega-

hand the message to Blaine.
The message is reply to Blaine's last
note, and in it Rudini says that Italy has
asked nothing but the prompt institution
of regular judicial proceedings against
the guilty parties at New Orleans. He
adds that it would have been absurd to
claim punishment for the offenders with
out the guarantees afforded by regular
trial.
This diplomatic incident, Rudini says,
can only be considered closed when the
federal government has declared in
precise terms that the prosecution will
be commenced In the meantime the
Italian government takes cognizance OF
the federal governments declaration

sation is due to the families of the vic
