Good Relations with Italy Restored.

The government of the United States
has paid, or has undertaken to pay, to
the government of Italy $4,000 as an
indemnity to be distributed among the
heirs of the three italian subjects
killed by the anti-Mafia mob in New
Orleans March IA, 1891. This payment
has been accepted by the italian min
lister at Washington in behalf of the
Italian government as ample and salts
factory, and the New Orleans incident,
in diplomatic phrase, is closed" Com
plete amity is restored between the
two governments. Accordingly diplo-
matte relatiOns-severed in part in
consequence, of this governments re-
fusal to comply with the peremptOry
demands of the Marquis di Rudini, the
Italian minister of foreign affairs-are
declared by Marquis Imperiali, the
charge d affairs, to be fully re-estab-
lished. Minister Porter will return to
his post in Rome, and an Italian min
lister will soon be installed in the royal
legation at Washington. The Marquis
lmperiali signifies, however, in his note
to Mr.. Blaine that Italy's acceptance
of the proffered indemnity is without
prejudice to the judicial steps the in
Jured parties may see proper to take
This was to be expected. The families
of the murdered men have claims
against the local authorities which they
should in any event be at liberty to as

From the Rockbridge News, April 14th.l
Cleveland to the Cleveland Democrats Of
Lexington.

A gentleman of Lexington, whose
name is withheld, wrote to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland informing him of the
action of the Lexington Democrats in
organizing a Grover Cleveland club
The following autograph letter has
been received by him from Mr.. Cleve-
land. The letter is written at Lake
wood, N. j., and dated April 9Th:
1My Dear Sir
am in receipt of your letter which
informs me that Democratic club has
been organized at Lexington, Virginia,
and has been given my name. Assam
ing that the purpose of the club is to
further and promote the triumph of
the principles of true Democracy, | re-
gard it an honor to have my name as
ISOLATED with it. There never was a
time when an organization like yours
could be more useful. This is a time
when it is not only of the greatest i'm
portance to push and advocate, with
the utmost zeal, the principles of our
party as they are clearly defined, but
it is also a time when, in season and
out of season, our political brethren
should be warned against dalliance
with temporary shifts, and notions
which can serve no other purpose than
to discredit us with the thoughtful
people of the land, and to distract our
attention from the support of ideas we
know are Democratic, and to which we
have assurance we can win majority
of our voters.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

The loss of property by the recent
Mississippi floods has been estimated
at two millions of dollars, but it is be-
yond any present estimate. The re-
currence of such calamities as this, ac-
companied, too, by great loss OF human
life, is a loud cry for remedy. That
it is possible to so confine the river be-
tween it's banks as to prevent these
overfiows is generally believed, and in
this work the suffering States and the
federal government should cooperate.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars;
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

The only argument, says the Rich
mond Times, which is ever advanced
against ex-President Cleveland by his
Opponents-indeed the only one they
can advance against him-is that as
President he did not remove all Re-
publican officeholders. Such an objec-
ton is so absurd that it may well be
characterized as puerile. Setting aside
the fact that when he entered the
White House he found on the United
States statute books civil service law
which his oath of office compelled him
to respect, he could not, in the short
space of four years, have removed all
the Republicans he found in office
without doing the public service irrep-
arabic injury. He was the first Demo
cratic President the country had been
blessed with for a quarter of century.
During that long period Of Radical
rule, over one hundred thousand Of
fees had been created, every one of
which was filled with q Republican,
and if Mr.. Cleveland had gone to work
to remove this vast army of officials
in one short term of his office, the
wheels of Government would have
been completely clogged and public
business would have been paralyzed.
Had he been reelected there is no
doubt that by the end of his second
term a Republican officeholder would
have been as hard to find as was a
Democratic official when his first term
began. In acting as he did Mr.. Cleve-
land was governed by that sterling
sense of conscientious regard for the
public welfare which is one of his most
eminent characteristics. His enemies
will have to seek other causes against
him, if they hope to destroy his popu-
larity with the masses of the Democ-
racV.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL Goth.
An Argument for Cleveland.

There is one argument in favor Of the
nomination of Cleveland that does not
apply to any other candidate; and that
is, that hesswould get more votes than
any other from the independent voters
who are not very closely bound to
either political party, and the two
great parties of the country are SC
evenly matched as to numbers i'll the
doubtful States that the independent
voters will determine the result, if they
vote with any degree approximating
unanimity for any one candidate
There is no doubt that Cleveland would
get more of that vote than any one
else

Tie Winter Wheat CrOn.

1t appears that the winter wheat
crop. although in a rather bad way, is
not so seriously injured as the Chicago
spectators who have been "bulling"
the cereal would have us believe.
The government crop report, issued
On Saturday evening, indicates the
average condition of the crop through
out the country on April 1 at S1.2 per
cent In three years out of the last
ten the condition has been lower at
this season.
An encouraging feature is the fact
that the present low condition is not
due so much to winter killing of the
plant as to late seeding and slow
growth, and hence it may be very much
improved by favorable spring weather.
In other words, the crop has not been
destroyed but retarded.-N. Y. Herald.
