from the visit Of the first eleven. under

had marked them for vengeance and that
their days were numbered. These docu-
mentary statements were backed up by the
assertion OF Joaquin MRnoritta, an italian
priest, who declared TINT he also had re
ceived notice that he was to be assassinated.
The Italian consul at New Orleans, the
Italian minister to the United States at
Washington and the Marquis di Rudini,
premier of Italy, denounced the lynchings
and demanded redress. All three acted in
the heat Of indignation following the first
intelligence Of the tragedy, but blood quick

to light which, while they in 10 manner

There are 10000 Italians in New Orleans,
and az least 1900 in the country round
about the Louisiana metropolis. Those EN-
ployed on the plantations have superseded
the negroes as laborers, and those who live
in the city practically ~monopolize the
fruit, oyster and restaurant trades. Nine
tenths Of the entire number are frugal,
honest and hard working. II is therefore
to be regretted, first, that a blot should
have been cast upon the good name OF the
colony by the murder of the chief of police,
and, second, that IL should have been
deemed necessary to avenge that murder
by extra legal proceedings.

DUTY ordered the kIIling OF not less than
500 men without the formaIity Of a trial
On the heels of this bit OF informatiOn came
the statement from New Orleans that all
the dead men were registered voters of the
United States, and that their fate was the
concern alone of the American govern
ment. The Italian consul also allowed it
to become known that there lived in New
Orleans between 100 and 200 men, mostly
Sicilians, who weEe1wanted in their native
land for various crimes, Of which murder
was the chief. The next sensation fol
lowed in the form Of an interview with
John Rocchi, one OF the wealthiest mem
bers Of the New Orleans Italian colony, and
a resident Of the city for forty years. He
declared that Ae and all his friends APP
proved the lynching, and that the execu
ton was a good deliverance to the com
munity." He also asserted his personal
knowledge Of the existence Of the Malta,
who had attempted, under pain OF death,
to compel him to contribute a thousand
dollars TO the society. Mr.. ROcuhi had the
nerve to refuse to be blackmailed, and
boarding the leaders OF the order in their
den dared them 10 kill him. He was not
molested.
As for the Of the press through.
out the world, they have been as diverse as
personal opinions. But few American pa
pers outside of New Orleans ave Endorsed
the action OF the mob, and the Italian jour
mails naturally have denounced it with
great bitterness; but the press of other Eu-
ropean countries in many cases gave the
affair their unqualified approval, and the
c-ommendatOry utterances of the great Lon
don dsilirs were so emphatic As to be re
markable.
So much for the strange situation of af
fairs following this fierce tragedy. The
lynching itself may be set down AS an in
direct result of kingly tyranny. Under the
rule of the Bourbons, and when Italy was
divided into numerous states, oppression
ground the people to the earth. The ruling
classes taxed the tradesmen and the farmer
