The report of the New Orleans grand
jury declining to indict anybody for the
lynching of the Italians excited very
little comment here, as it was exactly
what everybody expected. Rudini was
several days ahead of time in notifying
the Marquis Imperiali, who was left in
charge OF the Italian legation by Baron
Fava, the minister, of the severance of
all diplomatic relations with the United
States. He should have waited until the
report of the grand jury was made pub
lie, and then he might have taken that as
an excuse for his action. 1t will not be
fully decided until the president returns
what action the government will take,
but it is said that two members of the
cabinet now in the city are in favor of
Withdrawing our minister and closing
the American legation in Rome until such
time as the Italian government shall re-
cover its senses, and [ think it probable
that that is just about what will be done.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Nettleton went to New York yesterday,
and he will remain several days, paying
special attention to the workings of the
new immigration law in which he is
greatly interested. The administration
of this law is part of Gen. .Nettleton's
duties. and he is confident that under its
provisions he will be able to greatly i'm
prove the character of the immigrants
landed at our ports. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that there is ample room for i'm
provement of that sort.

Ghe Governors Message.

Speaking of Gov. Pattison's message,
convening the,State Senate in extraordin-
ary session, the Public Ledger of Phila-
delphia, edited by George w. Childs, the
well-known Republican, says: Through
every paragraph of it there shines clear
ly as truth itself the light of a high Off
cial duty done, of public spirited pur-
pose fulfilled -
Regarding the course of the ring Re
publican organs in attempting to create
the impression that the Governor was
actuated by purely partisan purposes in
convening the Senate, the Ledger OBJ
serves: 1.-The message cuts the last bit
of stable ground from under the feet of
those who stated or insinuated that Gov
ernor Pattison had been actuated by the
basest partisan motive in calling the SEN
ate to meet in extraordinary session; it
not only does that but it covers with
shame those who so impugned his pur
poses. Governor Pattison needs no tes-
timonials to sustain his character for in
vincible personal or official integrity, for
purity of motive in his public or private
acts, for high courage and fidelity to
duty. If he did need them they would
be found in his call to the Senate and in
the message he yesterday sent to it, 1t
is message which concerns the whole
body of the people of this commonwealth
and city not less than the Senate that is
to pass upon it

Right of Asylum Allowed.

SANTIAGO. October 19.-1t is officially
stated that the Government has given
an intimation that it Will soon issue
safe conduct to those persons who have
taken refuge in the American and Span
ish legation. The Government has rec
ognized the right of asylum in letter to
Minister Eagan, the United States Min
lister. The Spanish Minister is acting
in conjunction with Mr. Eagan.
The sailor of the United States steam
er Baltimore, who was killed by Chilian
sailors in a street brawl, few days ago,
was buried at Valparaiso to-day. There
was no hostile demonstration OF any
kind. An armed force of Americans
from the steamer Baltimore were landed,
and they attended the funeral unmolest-
ed. Another of the Baltimore's sailors,
who was cruelty wounded an the fight
will probably die.
Captain Schely, of the steamer Balti-
more, and the local authorities of Val
paraiso, are Investigating as 10 the cause
of the trouble 1t has already been as
certained that Chilian mob made the
attack on the Americans, and the on
slaught WAS = peculiarly brutal one.
The Chilians were all armed with knives
and pistols, while the Americans had
but few weapons and were slow IN using
them.
The Chilian sailors and boatmen and
others about the water front are still
showing bitter and rentless feeling TO
ward Americans, and making all man
ner of threats. The better class 0fGhil-
ian people everywhere heartily condemn
the brutal attack and express the hope
that their country may escape the odiEm
which arises frona such lawless scenes.

vidual about 30 yeaIs of age, was be-

Mexican Cruelty.

Rio GRANDE CITY, TEX, Oct. 90
Three Mexicans were shot at the Guar
dado de Firiba ranch, on the river nine
miles above here, on the Mexican side,
last Sunday. Two had just crossed from
Texas, having been working in the vicin-
ity of Victoria. The other, Juan Bazan,
an army meat contractor, it is said, was
from Mier. No person is admitted to
Mexico from Texas without pass from
the Mexican consul. These three men
knew nothing of the regulation, and
were at once arrested at their homes by
cavalry picket. General Lorenzo Gar
cia, who was on his way from Camargo
to Mier with an escort, when notified of
their arrest. ordered their summary exc
cutlon, which took place in the presence
of their pleading families.

The Issue Before the SsHaIe.

In their written answers to the charges
formulated in the Governors message TO
the Senate, Auditor General McCamant
and State Treasurer Boyer take refuge in
broad and general deniais, with the
further anchor to windward of argu-
ments against the constitutionality of
the proceedings before the Senate. How
a general denial of unimpeachable Off
cias evidence is To serve in this case does
not clearly appear.
In the message of Governor Pattlson
ii is recited, upon the evidence of the
official records, that Auditor General Nc
Camant and State Treasurer Boyer not
only permitted but invited John Bards-
ley to retain in his possession and con-
troll large sums of money for many
months after 1t should nave been paid
into the Treasury OF the Commonwealth.
These acts, if committed as charged.
were in fragrant violation of the laws,
and by their commission most of the
money thus wrongfully left by the Audi
tor General and State Treasurer IN the
, possession and control of John Bardsley
/ was embezzled and lost.
1t is further set forth in the message
| of Governor Pattison that Auditor Gen
! eral McCamant and State Treasurer Boy
er drew out of the public treasury at
Harrisburg large sums OF money and
/ put them into the hands of John Bards-
! ley when he was heavily indebted and an
| default to the Commonwealth. The
moneys thus placed in the possession OF
John Bardsley by the Auditor General
and State Treasurer were for the most
part embeZzled and stolen.
These charges are set down with full
ness of detail in the message OF Govern
or Pattison, showing the esums of money
and specific dates of the transactions,
and giving citations from the laws OF
1 Pennsylvania bearing upon the fssue be-
fore the-State Senate. The question is
not whether the acts were committed by
the Auditor General and State Treasurer
in corrupt collusion and connivance
with John Bardsley; but whether the
charges presented in the Governor :
message of fragrant neglect and viola
tions of the law whereby the people oi
! PENNSYLVANIA have been defrauded OF
upward of a million dollars are true.
If true, what is the duny OF the State
Senate toward the people Gf Pennsylvan
ia? That is the question

THE record of Col. John p Linton,
sfhe Democratic candidate for president
Judge, says the Johnstown Herald, Is
without the slightest stain. Asa soldier,
he was always at his post except when at
several battles he was wounded by rebel
bullets; but no sooner had his vigorous
constitution restored his health than he
was found fighting by the side of his
comrades. He was brave, kind, and
true; and his military record iissuch that
his old comrades-in-arms of the Fifty
Fourt point to it with the greatest pride.
As citizen he has always taken prom
inent part in the affairs OF the city and
the county, and there is not a man in
Cambria county who has won in greater
degree the respect of the people. His
abilities as an attorney are reanquestoned,
his reputation extending throughout the
state.
The Republican emisSaries do not at
tempt to criticise his record; they must
admit that it is beyond reproach. Con
4sequently they have flooded the country
with falsehoods concerning his physical
condition which the meanest of them
admit to be untrue and which will soon
be,shown up in their true light to the
satisfaction of the people. The falsity
of these stories has already been proven
nv the aDnparance of the Colonel in va
rious parts of the county IN the best of
health.
Were further proof required, it Is
found in the fact that, though seriously
wounded on several occasions by rebel
bullets during the war, he returned at
its close in the best of health and fol-
twenty-five years has not missed a term
of court at Ebensburg.

Wade HamptOn's Views.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-General Wade
Hampton is in this city on visit. He
says he is out of politics and will stay
out; fhe Farmers Alliance, General
Hampton says, is rapidly disintegrating
in the South, and within the next four
years it will completely disappear, to live
only in the memory of those who have
been benefited by the upheaval. This
will be the case not only in South Carol
ina, but throughout the South The
people there are rapidly awakening to
the absurdity of the demands that the
organization has promulgated, and are
gradually dropping off and forswearing
allegiance to the alliance.

For the first time during the last score
of years, says the Philadelphi Times, the
Republican leaders of Pennsylvania are
greatly overmatched in political leader
ship by their Democratic opponents.
To-day Senator Quay is challenged to
battle by young Democratic leaders who
equal him in sagacity; who understand
his methods as thoroughly as he does
himself; who are all just in the MONDAY
of life with no Bourbon thongs to Grip
pie their strength, and with the courage
that seeks the conflict instead of evading
1t. These men are Governor Pattison,
Secretary Harrity and Attorney General
Hensel, to whom may be added the
name of the coming Auditor General
Wright. These are broad, tireleSs and
master strategists in politics, and they
have the rare advantage over Senator
Quay of no embarrassing past and no
future complications to paralyze them.
They are all clean, able, fearless, shrewd
men, and they can strike without fear of
shifting themselves through their friends.

The Republican party is truly the
party of protection. Protecting Nc
Camant and Boyer promises to be its
greatest achievement. 1t protected
Quay when he was in a quandary as to
whether he lump into the Susque-
hanna or cut his throat 1t stood be-
tween kemble and the penitentiary when
the courts of the State had sentenced
him to where he belonged. With over
one million dollars stolen from the State

THE Republicans in this county are
like the devil when he took our Lord
up on the high mountain. The devil
was ready to swap off all he beheld, al
though he did not own foot of it. So
it is with the Republicans. If you vote
for Barker they will build a railroad
down the Blaeklick; they will give you
the Nicktown postohice, or they will
guarantee you a liquor license. The
Nicktown postofiice is the only one of
the three that they have got and it won't
go around.

II there is any one thing, says the
Pennsylvania Farmer, that the farmers of
this country owe to themselves as a
class it is that they stand by one of their
number whenever such a one is named
az a candidate for an official position;
and especially so when that one becomes
a candidate without any effort or solici-
tation on his part.
A. L. Tilden, a plain farmer from
Erie county, is a candidate for State
Treasurer. His ability to fill the posi-
tion with credit and honor to both
himself and the class he represents is
not questioned.
Now the farmers owe it to themselves
to see to it that he is elected.
His election will place the farming
class in a position to hereafter command
the attention OF the politicians from ali
farmer is bound to be heard in all mat
tiers connected with the State govern
ment. Farmers, we can not afford to
let this opportunity pass. Ii we fail in
electing Mr.. Tilden we will be told in
the future as we have many times in the
past, thatwe can not stand together, and
that there is no need in courting the
farmers influence or help, for he will
follow the dictates of his party bosses
anyhow. Again, farmers, let us be true
to ourselves; let us stand faithfully by
one of our own number, who has been
true to us, and see to it that at last a
just cause is successful. We can make
it so if we will

sign and that w. Horace Rose, Frank ].
OConnor or NJ. ID. Kittell (they tell it
differently to suit whatever locality they
are I'M will be appointed by Governor

Governor Beaver and he is not serving
outany term. Any person who stops to
think for moment must know that an
appointment would only last until the
next election. Fake politics is their
only stock in trade and that is only one
of their fakes.

SECRETARY BLAINE has written a letter
in explanation of his denunciation of the
Mckinley bill in which he said the Me
Kinley bill would not open the market
for bushel of wheat or pound of
pork. His explanation is intended to
aid Mckinley in his canvass for Govern
or in Ohio, and goes to show that the
Mckinley bill as passed is not so bad
as the one first demanded by the pro-
tectionists and urged by Mckinley, but
by the insertion of Mr.. Blaine's reci-
procity annex the bill was greatly re-
lieved Of its intention and power to do
injury To the agricultural interests of the
country. II a little reciprocity, which
Is simply free trade, issuch good thing,

varies in thickness from two to three

the size, shape and half the thickness of
a woman's hand, was recently found
near Hill. 1t was worth $3.50.
