SOME NONsENsICAL MOVES.

And now another Chicago gentleman,
Dr. John Aitkin, has evolved a prcdi-
gious plan for increasing the Worlds
Fair attrac tions in 1893. His schome is
nothing less than to form syndica to
which will undertake to remove tho
Colosseum at Rome to the big Windy
City park and charge small fec for the
admiring thousands to gaze upon the
ancient ruins, as sort OF side show to
the main concern. DR.. Aitkin is very
modest in his demands. He only wants
ten acres set aside by tho commission
ers for tho use OF his company and a
dozen or two minor ct ceteras, which
would aid to put shekels into the pro-
jectors' pockets.
Is 1t not about time stop this nonsense
in endeavoring to transport overy piece
of antiquity, interesting or otherwise, to
tho proposed enclosure? Not but what
the Colosseum is grand old structure,
or so much of it as remains, and perhaps
the feat OF removing it some 1000 miles
is practicable, but If the fair is to be a

THE ITATA CONCERN.

AS will be seen by the Washington
dispatches this mo- ming, the chase Of
the Gillian Itata is after all certain to
result in the ultimate capture of the
insurgent for violating tho neutrality
laws. In the absence of positive in
formation about the matter from Navy
Department officials, there has been
considerable disposition manifested to
criticise the slovenly action of the De-
partment in hunting down the offender.
1t now turns out that tho arrange
mcnts made for that end could scarcely
have been bettored, excepting that the
capture had boon effected before the
Itata escaped from San Francisco. With
the Charleston in position to take care
of the insurgent Esmeralda, as we'll as

SHALL WE EXCLUDE IrALrANsg

Pursuant to resolution OF tho City
Council committee of fifty New Orleans
citizens was appointed last October TO
Thoroughly investigate the existence of a
society of oath-bound assassins in that
municipality. The final report of that
goes on at length to prove tho actual
existence of the Malta from the record
of ninety-four murders committed by
Italians according to police records and
where the accused escaped conviction.
The report further details some CORES
pondonce in which Consul Corte at first
promised to corporate with the COM
mittee in probing the matter to the
bottom and then relates the latter in
dividuals action in changing his attitude
entirely, besides giving public utterance
to batch of affairs, not altogether very
assuring as to the sincerity of his
motives.
The committee suggests some radical
remedies for the Italian imbroglio. and
first comes the entire prohibition of i'm
migration from Sicily and lower Italy,
on the ground that the class referred to
are not desirable citizens, and that
New Orleans experience had fully
taught that fact. Reform in criminal
laws also received attention, as we'll as
Il plan to form bar association, which
shall have absolute power to debar from
practice members of the profession en-
gaging in any such dcfcnscs as the city
has witnessed.
While the report is undoubtedly the
result of mature deliberation, and con-
tains points sound and wholesome in
their suggestions, there is at the same
time clause the efficiency of which, if
carried out, can be questioned, and
justly so.
The feeling against allowing the en-
trance to this country of the tough
element and scum of Italy's population
is as strong in certain portions of the
United States as in New Orleans, but
how would it be possible to have law,
which prohibits immigration from lower
Italy and Sicily and at the same time
discriminates in favor of other Italians,
who can and do become citizens of an
equally undesirable quality? The plan
is impracticable as far as it goes. AS
veil have had the Chinese law prohibit
a Hong Kong coolic landing while the
Shanghai laundryman might be ad
mitted. The application would be the
same.
Some remedy is needed unquestiona-
bly,, but would it not be better, instead
OF excluding all classes of Italians or
only part of them to havo an immi
grafton law, which compels naturaliza-
ton and permits of that only in case
of justification to certain qualifications,
while the Fedora courts should be con-
stitutcd the bureau from which the
question of final papers should issue?

That the city will be vastly the gamer
