Caring little where they goor what explore;
Lives that seem aglow with force.

They are rushing blindly on,

As the bubble shines and glOws,
Will they grasp it-abl who knowsi
What a selfish, worthless plan

Still another class OF painted butterflies,
Fiutterng idly in life's gentle summer skies
Slipping only honeysi fool,

Pleasure seeking. transient bliss,

The Italian alien case at New Orleans
gave point to the question proposed at
the last annual meeting, whether legisla-
tion by Congress is desirable to give the
United States courts jurisdiction over
criminal prosecutions for acts of vio-
lence to the persons or property of aliens
committed by citizens of the United
States. The report on international law
discussed the bill introduced in the Uni
ted States Senate last May to give the
federal courts such jurisdiction and con-
cludes with the following resolution:
That in the opinion of this association it is
unnecessary that there should be any legisla-
tion by Congress to give to the federal courts
jurisdiction of crimes anainSt the persons and
property of aliens in any case in which such
jurisdiction does not exist as to similar cases in
which citizen is the injured party.
The resolution gave rise to debate and
the matter was postponed.
