In reply to an inquiry made through
the american PrOttctiOnist by s. B. L'ttell
of Kansas, Mr.. D. G. Hartman gives the
following facts and figures, showing lie

many parts Of the country, proof ct which

statements are facts, aud they resulted
directly from the workings of that free
trade tariff of 1888.

LAWYERS and JurieS.

The frequent escape from pun lshmeht
of criminals who have wealth to aid in
their defense, no less than the supple
copsciences of lawyers, is directing pub
lie attention to possible remedies for such
evils. AS ID means for keeping gold ont
of the scale, so that there shall be one
even balance for rich and poor, the
Clereland Leader suggests that Counsel be
assigned by the court to every defendant
in criminal case AID paid ont of the
public treasury, the fees of the attorney
to be collected like other costs, from the
criminal, whenever possible, in all case
of convi:tion. This would not very
greatly increase the expense to the tax
payers of maintaining the Criminal
Courts. There might be no increase al
all. What was lost in attorneys fees
would be very likely to be gained in the
enormous reduction Of costs in protracted
cases fought for years by criminals with
plenty of money. But be the extra
burden of taxation much or little, the
people could afford it tor the sake OF
knowing that in the Courts of justice the
rich and poor were on the same footing,
and that one mans chance of escape from
the just penalty of Otfenses was no better
than that of his ishbOr.
The Philadelphia Record regards with
faver this proposal, but sensibly urges
that gold finds its way to the jury. box
as we'll as to the pockets of couDselors,
and even hampers with public opinion as
to the newspapers. Much might be done
to improve the administration of justice
by improving the quality of jurles. ln-
telligence is now ruled out of court in
jury trials by selecting know. nothIngs
and nobodies, for the reason that their
minds are colorless, having no opinions
Still more might be accomplished By put
ting some limit to the power of rich liti-
giants to procrastinate, and thus impov-
ersh and wear out the patience of poorer
suitors, by technical and frivolous APP
peals. Norfolk Tir9iaidn.

The negotiations over the killing of the
Malta assassins atINew Orleans has reached
a most unexpected point. Baron Fava,
.he Italian minister, has been recalled
and all diplomatic relations between that
country and the United States has been
severed. This hastY and inconsfderate
action upon the part of the Italian gov
eminent IS a gross and wilful insult to
this country, aud not likely to be over
looked It is the direct Outgrowth OF the
bullying and impudent action of the
meetings held by the Italian cutthroats
in our different cities, and who never
should have been allowed to swarm to
our country to supplant in many OF the
avenues of labor the native and truly pa
trotic Americans. We have no idea that
this means war, as it seems incredible
that the Italian government would 90 to
such an uujustifiable extreme simply
because the people of New Orleans killed
a lot of the yiest, cowardly assassins that
ever cursed the earth. But II this should
be the case the Italians can rest assured
that American skill and courage Will be
found to be abundantly able to cope with
their iron clads, and that so effectively
that they will never leave America should
they visit our coast in hostile attitude.
1t is about time that the red-mouthed
Italian riff-raff, who are making their
living in this country, as we'll as their
papers published on this soil, should stop
pouring ont their abuse upon the people
of the United States. One Italian paper
published in New York, in brutal and
insulting TRADE against the government
and people of the United States, few
days ago, spoke OF Gov. Nichols, that
stainless gentleman, who left leg and
an arm upon the battledelds Of Virginia,
as miserable cur" The American peo-
pie are very forbearing, but when they
are aroused a western cyclone is sum
mer breeze in comparison. as these Italians
may suddenly dis over.

An Important Decision.
RAILROADS IN VIRGINIA CANNOT LAY
TRACKS WITHIN SIXTY FEET OF Dwell
IINGS.


TRACKS WITHIN SIXTY FEET OF Dwell
LINGs.
RICHMOND, VA, March 26.-The case
of Hodges Us. the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad Company, decided in the Su-
preme Court of Appeals today, Is one of
great Importance to the whole State. AS
this high tribunal interprets the law, no
railroad can lay Its track within sixty
tcet Of the dwelling house of any person
who objects. The court goes still further
ana saws if the tracks are already down
the person who IS injured thereby can
demand and recover damages.
Mr.. Hodges owns property on Crawford
street, in Portsmouth. The Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad began the laying OF
tracks near his house IN order to
reach the Union depot. Mr. Hodges ap-
nlied TO the Circuit Court for an iDjunc-
tion to stop the work, but it was refused.
Subsequently one of the judges of the
Court of Appeals granted temporary
Injunction. and the case came up on a
motion to make this Injunction perpetual.
The motion was granted. Judge Lacy
delivered the opinion. Judges Lewis anu
Richardson dssented.
Inc ueclSOu Is udocu upVu al 1OV w Wv
General Assembly which provides that
'no corporation or company shall invade
the dwelling house of any person or any
space within sixty feet thereof without
| the consent OF the owner thereof" In
his opinion Judge Lacy says: ave have
! little to do with the wisdom OF the law.
That is a question for the Legislature.
But when the power of the sovereign
State IS placed in the hands of corpora
lions to go and take private property OF
others everywhere without their consent
it appears to me to be just and salutary
check upon the large powers granted and
a modest reservation made by the govern
ment power over the place called home.
Judge Lewis, in dissenting from this
opinion, says the act of the Legislature
is an old one, and since its passage the
cities and towns have been empowered to
grant special permission to railroad COM
panies. Not q city in the State has streets
80 wide that railroad could lay its track
sixty feet distant from houses on either
side.
