jurisdiction Of Crimes Against Aliens.
Chicago Journal.
The truism that fool can find fault
where a wise man cannot devise n remedy
is well illustrated by the report of the
committee of the American Bar associa-
ton on international law, presented at
the annual meeting at Saratoga. At the
last session this committee was
directed to investigate the ques-
ton of the expediency of con
gressional legislation giving the federal
courts jurisdiction OF offenses against
aliens. This subject was suggested by
the curious complications arising ont OF
the Malta lynchings at New Orleans
Soon after these outrages a bill was
introduced in the senate giving the
federal courts power to try all prosecu-
them to enforce the local laws Of the
states. The local law was to determine
whether an act was or was not a crime
if it was, the federal court was to have
jurisdiction to try the offenders when
the injured person was an alien. The
anamalous position of the United States
government in it's controversy with Italy
suggested that some remedy should be
T.
Foreign countries cannot deal with a
state, but only with the United States.
yet the general government has
no power TO see that injuries TO for
eign subjects are punished, or the laws
properly enforced against the offender
The same question arose in the state de-
partment during the administrations of
secretaries Webster, Evarts and Bayard.
There was a general popular demand for
a modification of the laws yet the com
mittee of the American Bar association.
after weighing the matter for year.
concludes that it would be inexpedient
for congress TO deal with the subject in
any way. This rather surprising result
is supported by weighty reasons. If con
gress is to act at all the bill introduced
in the senate, leaving the local law
intact is least Objectionable; but
even such n moderate statute as this. es-
tablishing a double jurisdiction to try
the same oifense, would lead to endless
confusion Il was stated i'm the senate
that there are 30. 600 aliens in Chicago
and about one fourth of the population
of Wisconsin is alien. Would a man be
subject under the proposed law to two
prosecutions for the same oifense2 If ac-
quilted in the state court, could he be
tried by United States COURT All of
the Constitutions protect citizens
from being twice put in jeopardy
for the same Offense, but IL
tie court FIRST acquiring jurisdiction Of a
case were TO retain it, a lyncher who
relied on local prejudice for his acquittal
could easily have himself indicted in a
state court before the Federal authorities
had time to act Many other arguments
against the proposed legislation are ad-
duced, and the committee believes that
the sporadic cases producing interna-
tional complications are too infre4u to
justify such changes in the laws as
would give Federal courts jurisdiction Of
the vast number of crimes against aliens
which occur every day throughout the
United States

THE women Of the English church will
hold a congress at FollSestone at which
there are to be no other speakers than
women Il is not intimated that there
need be any others but the innovation Of
the entire absence Of men orators will
be significant and interesting to great
many people. The English church has
not been peculiarly illiberal with oratori
cal femininity, but it is one of the
churches which has not encouraged It.;
even IL has not let the whole question
very severely alone The subjects to be
Grated about. if the body can be
held by the parliamentary rule of
talking to the subject, are in
dustrial and moral, and women who
are identified with these subjects
have been invited to be the speakers
Miss Octavia Hill and Miss Clementina
Black are TO address the meeting on the
industrial conditions of women. The
Duchess of Bedford and Lady Frederick
Cavendish will speak Of the training Of
women But the most vital question is
assigned to the countess Of Aberdeen and
Lady Henry Somerset, who will read
papers on incompetence in the middle and
upper classes. The efforts Of the women
at similar meetings in this country have
not been productive Of much good. The
women who have taken active part in
the management and the discussions
of such bodies have been neither
practical nor influential In fact
they have devoted their time and
attention either TO the impossible or to
the trivial They have been too much
inclined to harangue each other and in
weigh against every thing in general to
accomplish any reform or to spread any
light. Few women seem disposed TO look
at things az they are and make the best
of the materials at hand, but they begin
with general dissatisfaction at every
thing and end with the accomplishment
Of nothing. What the sturdy English
sisters viii accomplish remains to be
seen.

After considering the matter for almost a

clined the challenge, getting in out of
the rain under the following very flimsy
excuses: First The club doubts ser
iously that the outcome of such a debate
would succeed in altering the convictions
each side already entertain regarding
the questions at issue, but on the
contrary would merely prove the ability
of the respective participants in the
manner Of conducting themselves in a
public address. Second. The club organi-
zed as q campaign club, not as literary
one and therefore deems it necessary to
adapt its work to that line of action: and
does not favor unnecessary loss of time
which the proposed discussion would
cause The young Republicans have
evidently heard the saw that "a good run

IT is Of little profit and no pleasure to
argue with a protectionist because he is
generally a participation in the tariff
robbery and gets his views from self
interest, not by aay process of reasoning
from facts, OF personal knowledge. If
perchance, however, one may be found
who thinks lac can reason logically, he
should be allowed TO charge about like a
wild Texan bull till he has proved to
his own satisfaction, that there are
nearly 500 industries in this coun-
try which needed the increase
in prices that the Mckinley bill was de-
signedto promote. So soon as the fool
bull shall have proved that, swing the
lasso over his horns and throw him
sprawling upon the ground, after a com
plete somersault, by the question what

business is conducted ut a loss to its
owners without the tariff protection, it

one, and hence a burden, not an advan-
tage to the country, or the advocates of
the protective policy are simply lying
1t is not possible thata business which is
a losing one to its owners can be at the
same time profitable one to the country.
