ITALY wANTS-wHAT?

Italy has again broken loose. With de-
liberate disregard of the conventionalities,
she threatens to eject the United States
Minister and recall her own legation if her
last letter to this Government is not imme-
diately answered. Such action would not
be q calamity to any but the Italians and
those who aid them in what would ensue
No doubt she understands the difference be-
tween recalling her own representatives and
dismissing the Minister of another coun-
try. 1t is to be hoped that she does. If
not she should be made to understand.
This Government, ever since the New Or
leans affair, has conducted matters in a
calm and dignifed manner. and any serious
quarrel can but come with Italy as the
aggressor. To agree to the demand that the
lynchers be punished is an impossibility,
for reasons already pointed out in THE
DISPATCH. These reasons have been ex-
planned to the Italians, and if they will not
see them, the blame does not rest on the
United States.

ONE VICTORY FOR THE LAW.

From our Chicago special on the recently
defunct agricultural implement trust, the
hitherto well-kept secret appears that the
real consideration which scared off manu-
facturers from that gigantic combination
was the law against trusts passed by the
Fifty-frst Congress. This is a testimony of
more value 10 the worth of that enactment
than was generally supposed to be possible.
Ii has been the frequently reported taunt
of the opposition press that this anti
trust law was practically worthless. There
was 4 good deal of foundation for that opin-
ion in the way in which great trusts kept up
their operations and new ones were formed, in
sublime disregard of the law. But il seems
that when the manufacturers of agricultural
implements came 20 consider its provisions,
as affecting their scheme to double the cost
of machinery TO farmers, they found it was
altogether too hazardous. The report is that
the counsel advised them that they could
dodge the law by the corporate form of
organization; but the controlling minds
seem TO have had more respect for the
efficacy of the law than the lawyers, and de-
cided to steer clear of it.
1t is equally pleasant to find evidence
that there were leading manufacturers in
clined to respect the law, and that the law
itself is exercising a restraining influence
on the vice of monopolistic combination.
With that profitable example before us, it is
to be hoped that vigorous application of
the national statute will result in wiping
out all such attempts to increase the cost of
life and industry to the masses.

FOUR CURIOUS PLANTS.
Strange Powers and Attributes of Some
Things That Grow.

Strange Powers and Attributes of Some
Things That Grow.
In the United States Botanical Gardens at
Washington, d. c., are four very curious
plants to which the Post of that city alludes as
Natures Hoax" the m other.in-law plant"
the Lovers plant" and the Scotch Attorney"
Natures Hoax grows wild in Australian
forests. The seed lodge about five feet from
the ground in decayed trees, and the plant puts
out leaves in the shape of heads of deer and
elk. Many hunter has been fooled by the
plant.
The Mother-in-law plant. or Dumb Cane"
is really the Detfenbachia seguina picta. An
auctioneer, being unable to rattle off the
botanical term, called it the "Mother-in-law"
plant, because of its queer qualities. The
popularity of the plant is this, that if man
takes bite of it his power of speech is taken
away and his tongue Is apt to be paralyzed for
a week. Humboldt's articulating muscles were
paralyzed for eight days by this plant.
The specimen of the mimOsa rudfca is called
the Lovers plant, because if girl be really in
love this plant will curl up at her touch; if not
not.
Superintendent Smith, of the Gardens, has
facetiously termed creeper the Scotch At
torney" The latter is credited with engaging
himself in a case and absorbing everything of
value in it before quitting it; and that's what
the plant does,

THE OPERATORS REASON.

The real reason of the operators refusal
to grant the miners request for an eight
hour day having come out the discussion
that will ensue will be confined to the pro-
priety of the formers taking advantage of a
real or supposed ability to win the strike.
The point will be made that all is fair in
war, but very pertinent answer will be
that there was no actual war on the eight
hour question, and that the existing trouble
could have been ayerted. Unprejudiced
persons, generally, believe that the miners
should have been allowed chance to show
bow an eight-hour dav would result. The
loss, if any, would have been theirs, while
the operators would have come in for an
equal share of any gain. As the matter
stands now, however. both sides are confident
of winning. The only difference in their
claims of final success is that the operators
quote figures to support their position. The
actual worth of either claim can only be
proved after bitter, even If short. struggle,
and knowing this, IL seems that another
attempt at settlement should be yet made
