IN THE METROPOLIS.
Dago Sentiment Set Forth in Unusu-
ally Lurid Editorial


New YORK, March 16.-The following
most important portions of the editorial on
the New Orleans tragedy in II Progresso,
Italo-Americano, the leading Italian news
paper Of this city, give an idea Of the teel-
ing Of the Italian colony in the matter:
We believe that never in the history of
nations has such horrible tragedy been
committed, not even among the most bar
barous people or tribes the most entirely
removed from the principles Of civilization
and the m axims of Christanity-never for
savages and barbarians respect the SEN
fences and the members of their courts
living? Where, oh where, is
the much boosted reverence OF the Amer
lean tor-the constitutional laws of his coun-
try? Why is the verdict of jury in capt.
TAI process a farce, a joke, a child play
luat they should make beasts OF the natives
and beasts of others? all narratives con-
firm the fact of the tacit acqui-
citizens; of the premeditated determina-
ton to carry out the tragedy; of the
security, IMMUNITY in the face of the law.
Therefore the response bility, the shame
upon the American name is so much the
greater. Therefore the more severe must
be the account and explanation asked and
demanded in the name Of justice and truth
and human inviolability; in the name of
hospitality and OF common rights; in the
name of constitutional franchises; in the
name OF international treaties and protec-
tons"
The editor Of the Italo Americana tele-
graphed the different Italian papers Of the
country to-day, asking tor opinions on the
New Orleans tragedy. Antony many re-
plies received were the following:
'Richmond, Va, March.-The Italian
colony is very sorrow for the tragedy of
New Orleans, and hopes to have satisfac-
ton by the American government.
V. DONATE"
Boston, March 15.-The colony is ex-
cited and unanimously believes in the, in
tervention of the home government, a naval
demonstration asking satisfaction and re-.
spect for the peoples rights.

HENNEssY's ASSASSINATION.

The Cause Which Led to Summary Pun
ishment of the Italians.
The following is given as clear state
nlent of the actuating causes which led Ito
the tragedy enacted this morning. rs ascer-
tanned from interviews with q number of
prominent citizens, some Of them active
participants in the stirring events of to-day:
On O ctober, 1890, at about IL o'clock at
night, D. c. Hennessy, chief of police OF
the city of New Orleans, going from his Of
flee to his home was waylaid and shot to
pieces by band of Italian assassins, armed
with such blunderbusses as could only have
been made and used for the purpose Of as
sassination.
The indignation and the excitement was
such that mob law and lynching were
about to be resorted to. To allay excite
ment and to assist the constituted authori-
ties, the mayor Of the city appointed COM
mittee OF fifty representative citizens to
take charge OF the Investigations and to aid
in the trial and conviction of the assassins
This measure arrested violence.
The committee entered upon its work,
and at meeting subsequently held in
IT Of the city hall the actions of the
uittee were ratified, and they were en-
ragged to continue their labors to secure
the prosecution and trial by the courts.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.
After months of preparation and trial
which continued three weeks and in which
distinguished counsel, assisted by an able
district attorney, a jury charged to
have been bribed and corrupted, in the face
of testimony establishing their guilt, ren-
dered verdict of nlis-trial as to three as
sassins, scofhd, Nonastrio and Politz, and
! acquitted the three assassins Macheca
Marchesi and Bagnetto. Three more were
of
sufficient evidence, these being Mastranga,
1ncordona and the boy Marched.
The acquittal Of Macheca, the chief con-
splrator, and of Marchezi and Bagnetto and
the nlistrial as to Pollitz, Scoffedi and
Monastiero tell like thunderbolt upon the
community, and impressed law-abiding
citizens with the conviction that laws had
been violated, that their verdict invited as
sassination and the ENGRAVING of the Italian
Malta upon American institutions.

New ORLEANS, March 16-New Orleans
struck the Malta death blow to-day.
1t rose in its might almost at midday and
wreaked terrible vengeance upon the
Sicilian assassins who relentlessly slew
David c. Hennessy; and, though there are
eleven men dead tonight who were happy
yesterday over their victory in the greatest

the work of bloodshed was accomplished
without unnecessary disorder. without riot
ing, without pillaging, and without the in

Following are the names of those who
met death at the hands of the enraged pop
ulace:
Manuel Polietz, Pietro Monastro Antonio
Scaffedi Joseph P. Macheca Antonio Marchesi,
Antonio Bagnetto, Frank Romero, Jim Caruso,
Rocco Gerachi, Charles Trahine and Comitez.
1t was not an unruly midnight mob. 1t

Bad Effects of Tight Collars,

A chapter might be written on the
deleterious effects Of tight collars, and
especially that variety which projects
stif1y beneath the neck to the mani
fest discomfort of the wearer and the
amusement of beholders. By COM
pressing the veins they of course inter-
fere with the return Of blood from the
head and thereby promote red noses
and pimpled faces, against which all
the cosmetic lotions in the world are
of no avail SO long as the mechanical
cause is allowed to remain. Tight
collars are even accused-an with
some show of reason-causing serious
defects Of the visual apparatus, due to
heightened blood pressure arising from
the artificial impediment to the blood
flow at the root of the neck. We
should not be surprised to find that
these execrable contrivances were al
50 responsible for Watery eyes, pen
dent lips and the general Nervousness
OF expression wich usually character
ICES the physiognomy of their wear
erS.
People profoundly stupid are enti-5
tied to our sincere respect. A moder-
ately stupid person is insuferable,
but one who is so in colossal degree
becomes Instantly an object of venera-
ton.

STATE DEFEATS CHURCH.
Archbishop of AK Must Pay Fine of
5000 Francs and Costs OF Trial.


PARIS, Nov. 25.--At the trial Of the
Archbishop of AK, when the clerk had
read the charge against the prelate, the
archbishop replied to the charges. He re-
called the violence to which the French
pilgrims to Rome had been subjected and
dilated upon the treatment accorded them
by the Roman mob. In writing his letter
to NJ. Falliercs. he had, he said, no inten-
tion OF insulting the minister, and de-
Shared that in so writing he had only full
filed his duty. His conduct, he said, had
been approved by the Catholic episcopatc.
In no line OF his action had he opposed the
government. Beyond that he had nothing
to say.
The public prosecutor then set forth the
governments side Of the case. He asked
for the conviction of the accused, not be
cause he was priest, but because he was
a sedtious citizen. He dilated upon the
liberty accorded to the Catholic episcopate
in France. Never, he said, bad the French
episcopate been treated with greater
urbanity; never had religion enjoyed
greater independence. Instead Of break
ing the law, he said, the archbishop had
raised aloft the flag of France.
The Judge sentenced the archbishop to
pay fine OF 5000 francs and the costs of the
trial.
As the archbishop left the court room,
people eagerly crowded around him, tender
ing congratulations. AS his carriage de-
parted, cries Of "Vive Soulard were given,
but counter-cries of 'Vive La Republique'
were also heard

M|RTH AND MADNESS.
What the GOH Letter
Has Caused.
DEMOCRATS ARE SMILING
While the Corporationists are Gnash-
ing Their Teeth.

The ID. l.. Goff letter, published in the
"multilateral" on last Monday evening,
continues to cause laughter among those
who supported White, and indignation
among those who wanted to work the
voters In the interest OF Sherman.
"Why," said one Of the latter" il such a
letter as that was only written by a sup
porter OF White OF Carroll we could easily
say it was concocted for political effect,
and deny its truth, but now it is imposs-
BILE to do that and we have to bear the
full responsibility Of It,"
City Auditor Harrison said last evening
that he was heartily glad that Mr.. Goff
published that letter, because it proved
what they always claimed was true, that
the Gas and Street Railway Company was
the moving spirit in this municipal fight
in Shermsn's interest. Any time any
such assertion was made by their side it
was denied by the corporationists, but
now that one of themselves had admitted
the fact, no further proof was necessary.
City Treasurer Bates was Of the opinion
that the Goff letter was the weakest polit-
ical literature he ever read. The writer
left himself open to attack in almost every
sentence. He was Of the opinion that the
letter would materially help the Demo-
cratic candidate inasmuch as that it could
not fail to injure Sherman very seriously.
This seems to be the prevailing feeling
all over the city. The majority of the
citizens say the blind is removed and the
corporations are at last shown up in their
true colors.
