A LEGACY OF HATE.
One Explanation for the Assassina-
tion Of Empress Elizabeth
of Austria.

Since the cable flashed the news of
the brutal assassination of Elizabeth,
empress of Austria, by the dagger of
an Italian anarchist, the thought that
has arisen in every ones mind, and the
query that has been on every tongue,
is: What was the motive" Efforts
have been made to answer the query
by the broad statement that anarchy's
red hand was lifted to strike the royal
circles Of Europe, and chance has made
the unfortunate empress the first VIC
tim. Granting that this horrible theory
is the correct one, there still remains
to be explained the deadly cnmity
of the Italian assassin toward this
queenly Austrian, and the joy he has
shown since at having killed her. Such
brutal gloating over a victims death
must have more specific meaning
han mere anarchical hatred of royalty
as whole.
In explaining the reason for this it
is as well to go back ten years, at which
time the empress of Austria was
making a tour of the italian lakes. One
day the Italian popuace recognized
her as she stroiled around. They sur
rounded her in the most threatening
manner, bowling, cursing and splitting
at the royal group, and crowning this
abuse by making the empress the tar
get for volleys of mud and stones. The
empress on this occasion narrowly es-
capped with her life.
The motive for the outrage was the
same that led the Italian assassin ten
years later to select the empress of
Austria as his first victim-the fact
that the natives of northern Italy look
upon the Austrian royal line as the
cruellest tyrants under the sun. Their
hatred dates back to the beginning Of
the century, when the natives of north
ern Italy died by hundreds in the vile
prisons Of Austria, where they were
confined after the failure of the con-
spiracy to free the country from Aus
tria and attach it to Italy. The legacy
| Of detestation that was handed down
from these sufferers in Austrian pris-
ons is responsible for the brutal mur-
der that has just Mortified the world
