The italian Controversy--Some
Defects in Our Constitution. T..

The International dispute between
Italy and the United States, relative
Ia: the New Orleans affair, is one
Of the most intricate that has ever
occurred in diplomatic discussion.
Stripped Of all bias, politics, and
excitement, the question involved
has demonstrated one fatal defect
in our organic, constitutional law,
viz: the inability Of the National
government, under present statute
law,to guarantee and furnish protec-
ton to the, subjects of foreign states
against violence at the hands Of the
citizens of the various states. There
is no questioning this statement.
Secretary Blaine's terse response to
Rudini's claims, too plainly shows
such to be the status of the present
controversy. 1t is. the result of onr
dual-system of government. The
Constitution gives the federal govern
ment exclusive Jurisdiction only in
territory purchased of or coded by
the States to it. It has no power,
no authority to punish one who
commits crime, whereby aliens are
injured in property or person, if that
crime is committed within the con-
fines of a sovereign state. Ofcourse
Congress in passing on the question,
as a matter of right and justice, may
give indemnity as damages, but
there exist no legal obligation to do
it. ~ ~. /. / If'.
This by way ofpremise. It is not
creditable to the American republic
that it cannot give protection to the
subjects of other powers; that it is
unable to punish those who commit
crimes against them; that our pecu-
liar system of dual-responsibilities
in government, must furnish the
pttng excuse for failure to doErfght
unto others. The anomaly presents
ed to the candid mind is that Of a
nation entering into treaties, counte,
naneing international laws and Gus
toms, demanding the fullest pro
lection forIits citizens abroad, and
yet acknowledging it own Constitu-
tion to be loose and ineffective, by
declaring its utter inability to give
! reciprocal protection to the foreigner
within its gates. 4.
It is at least to suppose
the diplomatists of other countries
are familiar with our Constitution
otherwise they would not make treat
les with our government, 1t is the
height of arrogance and egotism To
suppose we possess the master minds
of the earth.

COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.
The Graduating Members; the Pres
idents Of the Year; Progress
Made.
The RECORD of a Successful Year.

The4yearjust ended has been one
ofunparalleled success in the history
Of the Columbian Literary Society,
1t is a well known fact that the grad
yates who were members Of this
society are men Of whom our State.
our school, and our society might
we'll be proud but I'VE venture the
assertion that no class has been
composed Of men who win cast more
honor upon our society than that
whichIis now leaving the classic
halls to engage in the battle of life
The following members Of the grad
uating class are from our society, viz. !:
Nj. ID. Post, j. Z. Dayis, T. D.
Lynch and G. McC. Lemley.
During the year the society has
been understhe management of first
class executives. AT the beginning
ofthe year we were presided over BY
Mr.. Lemley, one Of our graduates,
land d gentleman naturally gifted
with executive ability. The winter
term, 4. d. Lynch was our presiding
officer, and he needs no enlogy, as he
is known to all as gentleman in
the truest sense of that word, The
spring term, our society was managed
nby that never firing Columbian,
Hough Houston. Fhis gentleman
has already added laarels to the
Columbian wreath and win, without
doubt, do so in the future. Be
yond all this, he is al society worker,
not only as a contestant, but in the
regular society work he has few, il
any, superiors.
The one fact that causes this years
work to shine beyond all others il
that we have enjoyed a year Of IN.
broken peace. Up former years
hardly was it expected that the three
elections should pass without thu
disagreement of some Of our mem
bers; land the result would be that
at least two factions would be form
ed, and it naturally followed thai
when election time was over tht
defeated factien felt hurt All this
tends to detract from the peace and
harmony Of the society and also t.
hinder the progress of the work

FERaUs FALLS. Mimi. Oct. 22.-The crime for

convicted Of the murder on circumstantial evil
dence. Since being sentenced he has devoted
his time to playing tho ACCORDION. writing

horse stealing, arson.. train wrecking. and
murder. and gave details Of several heretofore
mysterious crimes which he asserts they COM
mitted.
