italian Criminals,

The efforts of the Italian authori-
ties to suppress the Mala Vita have
resulted in another monster trial in
Bari. Last year 179 members of this
band of cut threats were arrested in
the district around Bari and were tried
in that city. Nine hundred witnesses
testified against them, and most of
the prisoners were convicted and sem
fenced. The prisoners in the present
case number 21S, and the witnesses
ego.
The prisoners are charged with
every crime contemplated by law,
from assassination and highway rob-
berry to pocket-picking and blackmail-
ing. Many of them are women, girls
and boys The event of the trial will
doubtless be the conviction of about
two hundred persons, as the m agis-
trate and all men In authority in the
district have been informed that the
government will stop at nothing to
exterminate the murder and robbery
societies Of Southern Italy, and that
whoever distinguishes himself in aid
ing it will not want for substantial
rewards from Rome.

The Cotton Acreage.

Returns of statistical correspond
ence of the department of agriculture
at Washington report cotton planting
late, GERM nation retarded by the low
temperature and slow development of
the plant. In the entire cotton belt
the temperature Of the past three
months is reported below normal, and
in some districts 2 and degrees be-
low. The rainfall has also been
reported below normal on the Atlantic
coast, while generally in excess III the
Mississippi valley, both conditions
cooperating with the low temperature
to retard growth.
Many correspondents of the At
lantic section report poor stands.
Z The average condition of cotton in
the consolidation of reports is So g.
This is the lowest average, with one
exception, since 1874. State averages
are as follows: Virginia, 70; North
Carolina, SO; South Carolina, 81;
Georgia, 81; Florida, 80; Alabama,
81; Mississippi, 81; Louisiana, 80 I;
Texas, 81; Arkansas, rs; Tennessee
80.
The reduction of the area from
floods resulting from river overflows,
especially of the Mississippi and its trib
utaries, has been heavy. The acreage
of cotton has been materially reduced.
On the 1st of May, while planting
was progressing, our correspondents
reported an intention to reduce the
acreage 1876 per cent. The present
report of the completed acreage makes
the reduction 1876 per cent.
The state per centages of the area
in comparison with the actual acreage
of last year are as follows: Virginia,
IS; North Carolina, 76; South Caro-
lima, "a; Georgia, "a; Florida, 81;
Alabama, "a; Mississippi, IS; Louisi-

A DOMESTIC disturbance which
threatens to affect seriously an i'm.
portant industry In Denver is re.
ported by the Colorado Sun. The
city council recently passed an ordi-
nance limiting the minimum price OF
chips used in the gambling houses ia
25 cents. The gamblers insist that
the enforcement of this law operates
to exclude the humble players. While
willing to apply the rule to the faro
games, they request that the ordi.
nance be so amended as to permit O.
cent chips to be issued to devotees OF
roulette and keno. The council is
obdurate in the matter, however, and
one alderman has gone SO far as to
threaten, If the gamblers don't stop
their kicking, to introduce an ordi
nance for closing the gambling houses
altogether. This threat has thrown
the community into a fever Of excite.
ment, and every 10-cent advocate is
DANGEROUSLY demanding that he be
given show for his money. If the
council stands by it's action, or at.
tempts to close the houses, the issue
will be carried into the municipal
campaign, making it the liveliest In
the city's history.

Emmons Blaine, eldest son of OK
Secretary Blaine, died Saturday last
at 11:l5 u. IN. Blood poisoning, the
result of inflammation of the bowels,
was the cause.
1t was not until about quarter of
an hour prior to the fatal moment that
the least intimation that Mr.. Blaine
was in dangerous condition was
made, and then it was only to a few.
At his Office in the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad headquarters in Chicago,
Mr.. Blaine's associates were only
aware that he was ill and had been so
for several days. Young Blaine was
a notable figure in the exciting con-
vention scenes at Minneapolis. He
took the result greatly to heart, and
was contied to his room shortly after
his return from the north. During
the convention he seemed to be in per-
feet health, and no one who heard of
his sudden passing away was more
shocked than those who saw him parti-
cipating in the caucuses in his
fathers interests. 1t is thought posi-
sible by many that the strain of the
excitement at Minneapolis, followed
by the disappointment, had not little
to do with the physical prostration
ensuing.

The war between the stockmeu
and the "rustlers" in Wyoming is an
incident of frontier life in com.
munity where primitive conditions
have not yet been supplanted by
social organization. In such a 10.
cality and amid such environments
there is little OF no respect paid to
law. Its restraints are not felt and
Its penalties excite slight apprehen-
sion. 1t is natural, perhaps, that the
cattle thieves should have the SYM
pathy Of the small farmers. The lat
ter look with no favor on the big
ranchmen, and the rustlers do not
steal from the small farmers. 1t is
the stray mavericks from the great
herds which the thieves regard as
their legitimate prey. 1t is anoma-
lous, however, that the peace officers
should be found on the side Of the
rustlers, as appears to have been the
case in Johnson County. Under such
conditions the action Of the ranch
men is not without excuse. The
present trouble marks the speedy and
final disappearance Of the range as a
factor in breeding and feeding cattle.
The rapid settlement of the country
and the use Of the land for farming
purposes will soon compel the owners
of immense herds to fence the boun-
diaries reserved for grazing their
stock. This will operate also to re-
duce the size Of the herds With a
reduction in the number of cattle be-
longing to one individual or company
and with inclosed pasture lands the
rustler will disappear as disturber.
His occupation win be gone, and he,
too, will 60. Thus that which is now
a serious problem to the friends OF
law and order will in the end solve
itself. Meanwhile, however, the
laws must be enforced as strictly as
possible and an equitable form of
government in Wyoming must be
preserved, if it can be done. In
order to accomplish this 1T may be
necessary to send several regiments
OF Federal soldiers into the State.
The egect produced by the presence
OF Colonel Van Horne's troops at the
IT. A." ranch, near Buffalo, shows
that the rustlers are willing to recog-
nize the supremacy Of Federal au-
thority.

THE rule of mob law in this coun-
try seems to be extending. The fact
that SO many persons are lynched is
the most powerful Indictment that
could be drawn up. against the
modes OF criminal procedure preva-
lent everywhere. There cannot be
any question of the fact that the
machinery of the law, as it is adj
ministered in the United States, is
cumbrous and slow, and provides
more safeguards than terrors for the
criminal. A skillful criminal law
yer, if his client possesses any in
fiuence or standing whatever, can
wear out" any ordinary case, even
OF murder. The law fills his hand
with trump cards. He can find
plenty Of technicalities, a flaw in
the Indictment, OF some other legal
bubble, and he can ask for new
trials and appeals and postpone until
the important witnesses are dead or
have left the country and the public
has forgotten the case.
