ITALY IS DISSATISFIED


WAsHINGToN, March 3l.-With an Off
cia note dated to-day Baron Fuvu, the
Italian minister has declared to the secre-
tary of state that the United States govern
ment not having given the assurances that
the murderers of the Italian subjects, ac-
quilted by the American magistrate ami
murdered in prison while under the immc l.
iato protection of the authorities of New
Orleans, would be brought to justice. the
Italian government has found itself uud-r
the very painful necessity of showing OPEN
ly its dissatisfaction by recalling tho minis
ter of his majesty from country where
the Italian representative is unable to Oh
tain Justice. The baron will soon leave the
United States, leaving the secretary of leGa
ton in charge only OF the current affairs.
This action by the Italian government
caused The deepest surprise in official circles
here when the fact became known. 1t had
been generally supposed tuat the Italian
government would al least await the action
of the New Orleans grand jury which is
charged with an investigation Of the bloody
episode at the Now Orleans jail. IL appears,
however, that the information received
from its representatives, must have led that
government to that conclusion that the
grand jury investigation would fail TO re-
suit in the punishment or even indictment
of any person connected with the killing of
the Italians

GEN. EMMoNS CLARK, who is an
authority on the subject by reason of his
long official connection with the street
department OF New York, contributes an
article on street cleaning in the Popular
Science Monthly. This is a subject that
should interest Helena people, particu-
larly at this time of year. Gen. Clark,
among other things, says: mo system
can succeed if there be not efficient 20
operation on the part Of the public.
So long as householders and housekeep-
ers shall sweep or throw their dust, dirt,
ashes, garbage or refuse, or any part of
such matter, into the streets or allow
anything to escape from their garbage
receptacles upon the sidewalks or upon
the streets, or so long as carts convey
ing dirt and refuse shall be allowed to
drop any part of their contents on the
streets, there will be continuing and
irremediable uncleanness. Cleanliness,
like goodness, must permeate all the
parts OF a city, and actuate all the in
habitants, before proper physical and
moral sanitary conditions can prevail
How would the good old down-east
custom requiring each citizen to clean
the street in front OF his property every
Saturday afternoon work in Helena? A
few hours of hard work on Main street
might make some Of the mossbacks wish
the street was paved.

in.the-slot-maohine. The oAse III point
which brings forth 4 sharp Zap from the
Chicago Heraldais interesting
Christopher Meyer, 4 wealthy old
banker Of New B~funswicks n. vi died
leaving d young wife. Az the estate
was somewhat involved she employedsa
young lawyer named Bartlett TO settle
matters. Bartlett was married, but he
fell III love with the widow, who reciprp-'
'cated. He quietly came 70 Montana
where he secured a legal residence q
procured a divorce from his wife whom
he had abandoned. The widow came %
Montana and here they were married.
The Herald, after proper characteri2a-
ton Of Bartlett's conduct as that OF a
perfdious coward, makes this sngges-
ton:
"Montana courts " it to their dig
nifty and decsncy to set aside this pre-
tended divorce. 1t ought not be IN the
power Of yillalny to use any state IN the
republic as a copartner IN cr'uie'
Doubtless Bartlett s~afeguarded his
vileness according to the local law
But the essence OF his secret divorce
is fraud and there ought to be
manhood enough in Montana to compel
whatever court was tricked by ms
wretch to undo the fraud. There ought
to be enough self respect and energy IN
Montana to render the confines OF that
commonwealth too narrow for Ciifioro
Bartlett and his guilty companion
morally, if not legally, culpable-to n
peace within them. No legal technical .
tiles can validate u proceeding that de-
priyes a wife of her legal status as this
scamp has sought to deprive his wife Of
hers and the name of their family OF the
honor Of which he has 80 brutally de-
spoiled it
In what court OF how the divorce was
procured is not stated, but it is certainly
true that divorces are procured entirely
too easy in this state. The difficulty
may exist in the law or in the laxity Of
the courts, but it is there. At the same
time the state in this respect is no worse
than some other states, notably, Con-
necticut, Illinois and Indiana. 1t is not
good for a young and vigorous state like
Montana to become known as a place OF
refuge and relief for those of unhappy
marital relations. To prevent this we
suggest more thorough and searching in
curry on the part of the courts. NO
Judge through ignorance or easy meth
dds of procedure should indirectly assist
in an act so vlllainous as that Of Bart
lett.
Uniformity in divorce laws has been
greatly agitated of late, but it occurs to
us that the suggestion OF giving tne
United States courts jurisdiction IN al
vorce cases by an act of congress is even
better. If the breaking of a family CIR
Gle is to be legalized it ought to be done
with all possible justice.
