government. It is said by persons well
versed In diplomatic matters that the

A MATTER OF HOME POLITICS.
Simiy "a Move of the Italian Ministry in
Selt-Defence.


SeIi-Defence.
Little is talked about here except the
recall of Baron Fava In the hotels. ON
the streets and in the public clubs. the
matter is "A subject of intense interest.
In diplomatic and official circles the
same Importance is not attached TO
Baron Fava's recall as in the public re-
sorts. The fact that the Italian legation
is to remain here and conduct the routine
business that usually passes between
governments shows that diplomatic re-
latons between the United States and
Italy are not yet severed. The matter of
Baron fava's recall is not re garded here
generally as serious question or one
likely to provoke hostilties, or even to
lead to complications that will not be up
travelled by Iii. deit hand of diplomacy.
The Real Significance.
The ministerial crisis in Italy, in which
Signor Crisp, the prime minister, was
overthrown, is recent event, which, it is
pointed out, throws some light on Baron
Fava's recall. The present Italian minis
try, ever since its assumption of the reins
of government, have been opposed by the
powerful minority party with Signor
Crispi at it's head. The killing of the
Italians in New Orleans gave it, in the ex-
cited state OF public feeling, club with
which to belabor the ministry. The tedi-
Gus channels of diplomacy were too slow
to satisfy the Italian people that justice
would be done TO their countrymen in the
United States, and the government, to ap-
pease the populace aud at the same time
to show in certain sense its disapproval
of whit it considered the lack of heart
shown by the United States government
in bringing the murderers of the Italians
to Justice, recalled Baron Fava.
Etiquette of Diplomacy.
Baron Fava must, according to diplo.
matte etiquette, present his letter of re.
call to President Harrison before severing

United States. He said: at is virtual
declaration of war, and should be met
promptly in the same spirit" Congress
man Stewart, of this city, is also of the
same opinion, and thinks war must result
unless Italy apologies in the most abject
manner. The universal sentiment here is

By the suggested heroic remedy for the alleged
grievances of the negro. public sentiment,
alarmed at the prospect of lawlessness, is not
likely to give much attention to the inyestiga-
ton and correction of the original COM
plants. And in this way violent and foolish
utterances may defeat the ends of JUS
tiee and tend to perpetuate objection
able conditions. injurious to the whole
community. For the character of the police
service of the city is noe matter Of exclusive
interest to the negro. The fact that the col
ored people furnish much more than their pro-
city, and that there are a larger number of
collisions between officers and colored men
than between officers and white men, does
not alter the case. 1t is the law
abiding citizen, whether white or black,
not the criminal who has the right to demand
the protection of suitable police force and to
protest against exposure TO abuses of authority
by or the murderous assaults of a hot-tempered
or intoxicated but well-armed policeman. The
whites are therefore in proportion to their
superior number more interested in this mat
ter than the blacks. 1t was . white man who
was recently shot down by policeman without
proyocation. Ii is the whites who have been
sppeelng year after year for a change of the
law concerning appointments on the police
force. which will enable the District to develop
that service into an ideal system. 1t is to their
interest TO punish any established instances of
brutality or vicious or criminally careless
use by policemen of the arms with
which they are entrusted by the pub
lie for tie purpose of its protection. The
white people are always ready to cooperate in
effecting municipal reforms, and the Police
Court and police trial board both give evidence
of q sincere desire to correct abuses of author
ity on the part of the police force.
instead of rejecting the cooperation
of the whites. and scattering hints of violence
and lawlessness, the eolored people would be
wise to join the movement for the change of
the law concerning police appoin tments, to push
for the punishment Of specific instances of
abuse of authority before the proper tribunals.

The District of Columbia is well pleased with
the organization of its Senate and House COM
mittees. They are composed of able and in

and they appreciate the fact He has the con-
tdence and respect both Of the community and
of the House, and the District congratulates
itself that he will consent to serve as chairman
of the House committee The composition of
the District committees is always one of
peculiar interest and importance to this city
and vicinity well of general interest to the
people Of the United States, who desire to see
their capital city made a comfortable and at
tracttve seat Of government for the foremost
nation Of the world On the intelli-
