There was a lull in the conversation

Origin of "Hip-hip.hnrrah."

"Hip-hip- has always been re-
garded as a thoroughly British cry
typical of the eXuberant temperament
of the race. Compared with it the
"Vive" OF the Frenchman, the "Hoch'
OF the German, and the "Slava" of the
Russian are tame and eXpressionless;
but the "Hip-hip- from Anglo
Saxon Threats rings through the
spheres and carries everything before
it. 1t is cruel blow to find that the
words are not English at all. The one
consolation left us is that they were
not made in Germany"
A gentleman named Adams has been
investigating the mysteries of the pyr.
amids and monuments Of Egypt, and
has found the phrase "Hip-hip-
rah" among the early hierOglyphics OF
that country. The only consolation
derivable from this remarkable discov-
cry is the argument which may rea-
sonably be deducad that the presence
of these British words among the ety.
biological treasures of Pharaoh-land
give US prior right to the whole
of the Nile valley. And this theory is
strengthened by the fact that accord

done to alien residents by a mob which
by due vigilance 1t could have repress-
ed"
Practically, while denying liability to
indemnity for mob violence, our govern
ment has frequently asked congress to
award it, as a matter of equity, and
congress has approved this course.
1t was so in 1851 in the riots against
spanish residents at New Orleans and
Key West. 1t was so, as we have seen,
forty years later, in the Malta riots. 1t
was so again in the case of the Italians
lvnched at Hahnville, in Louisiana, in
1896. for which our government paid
$4,000 1t was so with some Chinese
riots at the west, the government seeing
that it would be unjust to demand, as we
frequently do, indemnity for outrages
committed upon American missionaries
and others in China, without according
compensation in like cases here.-New

OF all cities in the world, If a person
must he robbed, Vienna is the town in
which to have the performance enact
ed. Some time ago n Boston gentle
man had his watch. a valuable gold
one, and sum of money stolen from
him while in that city. He offered
$50 reward for the recovery of the
property. The watch did not appear
and on returning to America he left
his name and address and the number
of his watch. together with the amount
of the reward. with the police. \
short time ago the gentleman received
his watch together with the reward
intact, and a polite note from the III
rector saying that II was against the
rules for policemen 20 receive money re-
wards: of course If civilian had re-
covered the watch the reward would
have been paid. The only charge was
30 cents. the expense of transporting
the watch from New York TO Boston.
The thief bad been arrested in Vienna,
the watch had been found upon him
and forwarded by the City Govern
ment of Vienna free of charge to New
York There is degree of innocence
about the Vienna police that suggests

The INDEMNITY FOR IIAIY.

The information given by the govern
pr of Louisiana to Secretary Hay is that
three of the five victims of the Tallulah
ynching were naturalzed Americans.
In the Malta riot of 1891 there were
more victims, and the amount of idemn-
ty allowed by congress was $4,000.
The president will undoubtedly adhere
to the position taken in 1891, namely,
that it is not possible in such cases to
put the lynchers on trial in federal
court, the matter being wholly under
state Jurisdiction. 1t may be hoped that
Louisiana will see the wisdom of bring.
Ing the lawbreakers to Justice, more
especially as DR.. Dodge was not fatally
wounded by the Italians. Still, if there
should be miscarriage of Justice again,
hs so often before, and we might say
habitually, In lynching cases, Italy
would be compelled to satisfy herself
with the money idemnity, as she was
eight years ago.

persons and property of her citizens
dwelling here, but adds that they shall
'enioy in this respect the same rights
and privileges as are or shall be granted
to the natives, on their submitting them
selves to the conditions imposed on the
natives" DIR. Snow, a high authority on
international law, quotes BluntschIjas
holding that foreigners cannot insist on
Indemnity for losses resulting from
internal violence in state. Hall takes
still stronger ground, holding that
strangers risk intestine war, because the
government cannot control it, and
because its own interest is to avoid such
commotions, so that undue carelessness
on its part cannot be inferred. A third
authority cited to the same effect is
Calvo, Latin-American. These pub
licists are discussing great connections
or civil war, but In all cases the principle
seems to be extended to. ordinary mob
violence.
In the massacre of Cinnamon at Rock
Springs, in Wyoming, in 1885, the state
department denied "all liability to in
demnify individuals, of whatever race or
country, for loss growing out of viola
tions of our public law" and held that
there was ample source of reparation
through the ordinary channels of Justice.
On the other hand, our state department
had insisted In 1873 that a government
