Rudini and His PeonIe.

The news from Italy of Rudini's APP
peal to the Europeal, powers for CON
demnation of our system of govern
ment is accompanied by tha informa-
ton that about l 400 Italian sailed on
Friday frosr Naples to fse United
States.
Rudini complains that the FEDERAL
Government can not compel a State TO
punish a mob for killing some refugees
from Italian justice. At the samA time
a very large number of the Italian peo-
pie are expressing their Preference for
this county and are coming here while
their Government is insisting
that no Italians life is safe in the Re
public.
There is a seeming inconsistency in
this, and an interesting subject for re-
Election. While the Italian Govern
ment is asserting that foreign powers
should compel the United States to
protect aliens against the wrath of
mobs, the aliens are seeking a home
here beyond the jurisdiction of the
foreign Powers. Evidently the aliens
prefer the free hazards of life in Amer
lea to the armed security of monarchial

The following is from the pen OF
George d. Prentice: at can not be
that earth is mans abiding place. 1t
cannot be that our life is mere bub-
BILE cast up by Eternity to float a mo-
ment on its waves and then sink into
nothingness. Else why is it that the
glorious aspirations which leap like
angels from the temple of ones heart
forever wandering unsatisfed? Why
is it that the stars which hold their
festival around the midnight throne
are set above the grasp Of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with their
unapproachable glory? And, finally,
why is it that bright forms of human
beauty presented to our view are taken
from us, leaving the thousand streams
of affection to flow back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? There is a
realm where the rainbow never fades /;
where the stars will be spread out be-
fore us like the islands that slumber
in the ocean and where the beautiful
beings which pass before us like
shadows will stay in our presence for
ever"

COURT WITHOUT RECORDS.
A Florida Fire Destroyed All Ju-
diciaI Papers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May ga sim
gular result of the fire in Mohawk block
last Monday night is the embarrassment
under which it places the United States
court for the northern district of Florida.
The fire made clean sweep of all the
papers and records of this court. MANY
of the papers on file there dated back to
1740-old Spanish records, which can
never be replaced. Clerk Phillip Walter
says there was not a hatful OF papers
saved, and Judge Swayne, when asked
how the loss of the records would affect
the proceedings of his court, said that
he and the attorney were considering
the matter, but as yet were
all at sea. He thought some
papers might be re-eStablished. He
was further asked about the criminal
cases, indictments, etc. He said the
district attorney was looking into those.
AS to the cases that might expire under
the statute of limitation before they
could be reinstated, he was uncertain.
District Attorney STRIPPING says that
the law provides for such emergencies.
and he can make out new papers and
have them properly certified to and
proceed with the cases under them.
Clerk Walter iDclines to the opinion
that the fire made an end to most cases,
and especially to criminal. He was asked
about the famous Gregg election case,
and he thought that was at an end.
Several lawyers concurred in Mr.. Wal
ter's opinion that the fire wiped out the
criminal cases in number of instances,
but where all witnesses and facts can
be secured, new indictments may be
found. Col. HoratiO BiSbee, eX-congress-
man, doubts the resurrection of any
criminal cases where the Indictment
was destroyed. Unless there is per-
feet copy made of an indictment found,
he does not believe case will stand.
The whole proceedings would have to
be gone over again to make case. AS
there are many cases still pending for
alleged violations of United States cleo
ton laws in 1888, these opinions are sig
nifio9nt

An action for damages will lie for ma
hclously and without probable cause pro-
curing the issuance aud execution of a
search warrant for goods alleged to have
been stolen. In such an action the plaintiff
shows prima facie a cause of action by proof
that upon search the property was not
found, that the return of the warrant SO
showed, and that for a long time he had
borne good reputation in the community
for honesty and integrity The defense
stated in answer that the proceeding was in
stituted upon the advice of the county attor-
ney, after statement of facts TO him. this
does not constitute new mater requiring

A DILEMMA.
Failure OF Congress to Act Leaves
Mormon PrOperty Unassigned.

mormon property Unassigned.
WASHINGTON. May 25.-When the
supreme court, at its last term, upheld
the constitutionality of the Edmunds
law. by which the property of the late
corporation of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, otherwise
known as the Mormon church, was eS-
cheated to the Uuited States, it found
itself in asomewhat embarrassing posit-
ton. The doctrine of eScheat was quite
unknown in this country, and no pur-
pose considered laudable and proper of
a similar nature to that for which the
property was formerly used was known
TO which the property could be devoted.
The court therefore, instead of sending
its decree down, withheld 1t, a strong
intimatiOn being conveyed of the desire
of the court that congress should
by law direct the disposition
to be made of the property.
Congress having failed to adopt the sug-
geStion made. the court, through Justice
Bradley, to-day made its final order in
the case and modified in some respects
the decree it entered at the last term.
The modification made reciteS that
the Mormon corporation having been
dissolved, there does not now exist
any trusts or purposes within
the objects and purposes for which the
personal property was originally ac-
quired for which any part of the per-
sonal property could be used or dedi-
Gated, that are not in whole or part
opposed to public policy and good
morals, and that, Furthermore, there
does not exist any person or corporation
legally entitled to any Of the personally
as successors of the late church. The
decree then says that the personal prop
erty having devolved to the United
States.it should be devoted to such chart
table uses, lawful IN character, as may
most nearly correspond to its former
destiny, unless in the meantime con-
gress shall otherwise direct. or master
shall report some scheme which shall
meet the approval of the court for the
disposition of the property. The decree
finally directs that the property and all
-accumulations remain in the custody of
the receiver, until otherwise ordered,
and that out of it costs of the suit and
recelvership be paid. The Utah SUI
preme court is directed to take the nee
eSsary proceedings.

which he holds that an Legitimate child

CARELESS of a will executed before
its birth and admitted to probate. The
child in the case is Beulah Adams
Bunce, five years old, the illegitimate
child of Caroline A. Bunce, who. the
year before its birth, willed her prop
erty to her brothers and sisters. The
child was born in New Orleans, and the
mother died two days thereafter.
