breakable chain Of fact forged by The DIS
PATCH to hold public attention.
Is THE BARON A scAPEeoAr.

The latest news concerning the contro.
versy started by the New Orleans lynching
puts the italian side of it in a new light.
1t is now said that Baron Fava wrongly
translated the first note transmitted to Sec
retary Blaine, and asked for punishment"
when Judgment" was meant. The differ
ence in meaning between the words is con-
Italy's demand appears to be much more
moderate than at first supposed. The Baron
is also accused of exaggerating the general
tone of Marquis di Rudini's protest, and of
an inability to comprehend the precise
terms in which it was couched. If these
allegations are true, 1t can safely be stated
that the Baron's career as a diplomat is
ended-for the verbal part of diplomacy is
as exact as any science, and altering word
in a communication between nations is al
most a crime.
This latest phase of the matter may also
explain why the Baron was recalled, show
ing as it does that dissatisfaction with him,
rather than with the United States, may
have been the reason for ordering him back
to Rome. Should this prove the case, an
amicable and early adjustment of differ.
ences may be reached.
Apart from the foregoing, another idea
suggests itself. It is that Italy did ask Tor
punishment" but with the knowledge,
gained from after events, has decided that
the demand in its original state could not be
enforced, and makes a scapegoat of the
Baron by circulating the report that he was
over-zealous in his conduct This puts Italy
in bad light and strengthens the American
position by showing that Mr.. Blaine was
right in refusing to consider the affair in the
manner desired by Marquis di Rudini.
Viewed in any light, the accusations
against the Baron appear rather peculiar,
coming as they do at such late day. There
was plenty of time after the transmission of
the first note for the correction Of the alleged
errors, and most people will be inclined to
think that the deduction in which the re-
called diplomat figures as scapegoat is the
correct one

AN EARLIER CONVENTION,

The proposition to hold the Republican
National Convention in May OF next year,
instead of late in June or early in July, as
heretofore, is rather sensible than otherwise.
June or July with the mercury trying to
push its way through the top of the thermom-
eter, are rather too warm for q convention
which in itself is always too hot for COM
fort. Between the heat of sun and the heat
of political debate the conventions of the
past have been so many ovens, in which
many an aspirant has seen his political
goose most thoroughly cooked. In fact, so
great has been the caloric generated by the
combination of sun and politics that many
metsphorical fowls have been done brown
before their owners had time to give them
proper attention. This is too bad, and if a
change to the earlier date will enable the
cooks to give their birds proper attention, it
should be made,
Seriously speaking, the holding of an
earlier convention would be good thing.
1t would give time for proper discussion of
issues, and enable the voters to judge intel
ligently from the arguments submitted
them. If the Republican party has the
faith il should have in its record, it will not
be averse to commencing its campaign q
month earlier than usual, while the added
time cannot fail to be beneficial. The SUBJ
jects that will be before the country during
the next Presidential battle are too important
to be talked over hastily. Calm and careful
consideration of every question is needed,
and it will not be denied that one of the best
ways of securing such consideration is to
hold the convention in May.

PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, APR "a. 1881.
NO ENCOURAGEMENT FOR RIOTERS.

1t seems the coke strikers have not prop
erlv learned the lesson that rioting will not
be permitted. Yesterday the troubles in
their worst iorm broke out again, and the
laws once more were set at defiance. This is
bad for the strikers. By such course they
have nothing to gain and everything to lose;
and the sooner they realize the fact the bet
ter. When they attempt to oppose the off,
GERS of the law with violence they take their
lives in their hands, and if any are killed or
injured the blame rests entirely on them.
The statutes of the Commonwealth must be
respected, and neither a real nor fancied
grievance can mitigate the crime of violent
opposition. By their actions the strikers
are rapidly losing any sympathy the general
public may entertain for them, and in the
end, if they persist in their present course,
will find themselves In prison as convicted
criminals.
The troubles yesterday had one very dis
agreeable feature peculiar to themselves
Hitherto the rioters have been men, the
women contenting themselves with giving
encouragement But becoming tired of
inactivity, some OF them attacked the
Sheriff and were wounded. They deserve
no sympathy. The fact that they were
women does not in the least detract from the
enormity of their ofense. Rather their sex
adds to it, and the Sheriff and his deputies
cannot be criticised for woundIng them.
Once again, for the benefit of the strikers,
they may be told that the mob will not be
tolerated. In any conflict that ensues be-
tween them and the officers of the law, the
latter will be sustained by public opinion.
If the former make an attack they can eX-
pect to be shot down without compunction,
and if the local officers are not sufficient to
cope with them, the State militia will be
put into action. The disturbances have con-
tinued long enough. and patience has ceased
to be virtue.

THAT suPpos1rrr1oUs LETTER.


Postmaster Wanamsker should look to
the mail service. Several very prominent
men have been put to much Inconvenience
lately by not receiving letters alleged to
have been sent them, and now the delegates
to the National Republican League Con-
veution, which wound up its business in
Cincinnati the other day, would like to
know if a certain letter, supposed to have
been mailed, was delivered. Some of them
feel very certain that the letter was sent.
Others think 1t was not. One thing. how.
ever, is certain; it was not read in the con-
vention, and most likely the delegates will
have to be content with that knowledge.
Just what reasons existed for expecting a
letter of unusual importance from Mr..
Blaine are not very clear. OF course, be
might have written that duty prevented
his attendance, but much more be could not
have put on paper and acted wisely. He
knows we'll the false construction that both
friends and enemies could easily put upon
anything he might write, and therefore
might be expected to be cautious about
expressing himself. He also has too
high an appreciation of his position
to put himself on record as antagonistic to
the President, thing which some of his
friends and all of his enemies wished him
to do. Itwould appear, therefore, that he may
have contented himself with writing moth
ing, hoping that the certain sin Of omission
would not prove as dangerous as the possible
sin of commission. But if he did write, and
the letter was not delivered, the postofioe
must be to blame. for nothing from his pen
could be suppressed. As political mys-
terry, the affair ranks with the watterson-
Hill episode.

CANADA's OBJECT LESSON.

The Canadians are evidently very much
alive to the benefits 10 be derived from
canals. The largest deputation that ever
visited Ottawa went there the other day to
endeavor to induce the Government to take
up the construction of the proposed Trent
Valley Canal, which will connect Georgian
Bay with Lake Ontario. 1t is worthy of
record that Sir John Macdonald, replying to
the deputation, said that the canal must be
built" his words showing an appreciation of
the benefits Of cheap water transportation
somewhat greater than is entertained by
some PEOPLE in this country. The proposed
canal will open up large section of remark
ably rich country, and, considering its low
cost, will undoubtedly prove good invest
ment. 1t is to be 1877 miles long, and will
cost but s., 10000 The apparent discrep-
ancy between its length and estimated cost
is explained by stating that it will be con-
structed on the lines of waterways and nu-
merous chains of small lakes now naturally
navigable Tor 13S miles This leaves but
fftY-eight miles to be eIcavated and i'm
proved.
Compared with the Lake Erie Ship Cana,
the Canada enterprise is small; but the
benefits to b. derived from both are in strict
proportion. Water transportation for heavy
Ireights means cheaper rates, whether in
Canada or the United States; and if the
former can afford to spend S., 600, 900 for the
transportation Of rather limited amount
freight, In view of the enormous guam
ity handled in this section, we can sssur-
edIy afford to spend larger sum in making
a waterway between Pittsburg and Lake
Erie.
Everything points out not only the neces-
sity for the Erie Canal, but the ease and
comparative cheapness with which it can be
constructed, and arguments to the contrary
are not based on reason. The Trent Valley
enterprise is but another link in the uu-

LABOR AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

The one work in the country to-day that
should not be hampered by strike is the
Worlds Fair. The time for the erection of
buildings is so short that 9 strike of the
least magnitude cannot fail to have a seri-
Gus effect on the big show. Notwithstand-
ing this, one of formidable proportions is
now on at jackson Park, and at last ac-
counts was far from settlement It is not
the intention to say which side is in the
wrong, but it is sufficient to know that
about 600 laborers have suddenly quit
work, and that until they return, or others
are secured, nothing in the way of active
preparation for the fair can be done.
It does seem that both contractors and
laborers are very shortsighted in allowing
anv difference between them to delay the
work. The fair will benefit labor and cap
ital alike and that conflict should mar its
ultimate success will be regretted when too
late. Mutual concessions should be made
and the trouble settled quickly, as neither
side will receive support from the general
public If it is not. To continue the strike
will be ruinous to the contractors, and, even
if they should win, the pecuniary gain will
not balance the loss consequent on the waste
Of time. To the laoorers the successful out
come means little, for the work is not perms-
nent
The contending parties should get to-
gether at once and decide the dispute. The
country is watching the affair with anxiety,
as but little more foolishness on the part of
the Chicago people will cause the whole
matter to collapse. Since the beginning it
has been quarrel and delay, but not much
more of either will be tolerated. Get down

PrTTsBURe has every reason to be proud
of her baseball club. 1t has only lost two
championship games SO far this season, and
really is doing remarkably we'll. OF course 1t
has only engaged in two, but little thing like
that does not bother the players. They feel SO
confident OK their ability to lose three out of
two if necessary, that they know they are quite
safe from the wrath of disappointed enthusi-
asts so long as only 100 per cent to the bad is
recorded. BY continuing its present brilliant
style of play for time, the club will do much
toward making fact of the possibility men,
toned yesterday that its members might be-
lieve in bad beginning making good end
ing. But they must not carry their bad begin
ming too far. Suppose for a change that they
win to-day's game. There is only one thing to
prevent their doing so. and that is lack of abil-
ity with which, b owever, 1t is rather too early
to charge them.

The scarcity of sugar mentioned in the
local columns need not cause any alarm. A
little thought will show that such a state of
affairs was to be expected soon after the drop
in price. People who formerly bought it by the
dollars worth now purchase it in larger quanti-
ties, while those who bought it by the pound or
two at . time now buy twenty pounds at once.
All this, of course, has the effect Of making it
