An Italian Editor on the Situation

New YORK, April 1S.-L'Eco Dnatia, of this
city, to-day prints the following: mo one after
thu Slaughter at New Orleans doubted that the
murderers would be allowed to walk freely about
the streets no one thought however, that from the
Cabinet at Washington would have been sent out
such stnIi and d ,honest pleas attempting to save
the murd srers from the hands Of the hangmen.
An honest and civilized nation would not have al
lowed blood-thirs:y ,b to attack the prison and
murder the prisoners. The murderer triumphs
and finds an advocate in Secretary Blaine. A
government which approves such course betrays
Its own country and calls upon civilized nations
to send their guns to teach it how international
law aud rights should bo respected.

The American purchaser OF American goods
need not even pay for them with currency

There was a better feeling in the stock market
to-day. The financial difficulties in Paris were
tided over. and while the bank that was assisted
must realize on its assets 1t cannot be driven into
an abrupt liquidation. It's securities are, OF

settlement OF the Earrings affairs three years.
and if the French bank must be wound up in less
time, the only reason would seem TO be that Its
debts are smaller. The lesson that is being taught
to the next generation of inanciers is that mistakes
are not dlshonorable il they are accompanied with
heavy liabilities In other terms, failures are I'm
possible, according to modern financial methods.
If the debts are large enough 10 command the
assistance of the Bank of England, the Bank OF

direction The long delayed decision OF the Inter

other conclusion has been expected for TWO years.
There is no doubt that the decision Of the board

have been kept back is a question OF raiiroad
ethics which may not easily be answered or
