4 MUCH-NEEDED LIE.

The italian representative at Wash

ure of the American government to do
the right thing in regard to the number
who have been done. to death in certain
American communities, notably in Lou
isiana and Mississippi. Nothing that the
general government could do at the time
could prevent the discharge without pun
ishment of the men in these states who
had killed the Italians Nothing could
of the death in any state of the sub
jects of any foreign nation as the re-
suit of mob rule. The reason, of course,
is that the several states have control
of their own internal concerns, and
their authorities alone it is which shall
say whether such murders shall be pun
ished, and how they shall be punished
It is no invasion of the right of any
state under the constitution to turn over
SUCH CIlI1SS " tnSs VI the
federal courts. They have to do with
the rights and privileges of foreign ma
tons and their subjects. And this is a
general subject over which the federal
government has of course exclusive juris-
diction, because the states have surren-
dered such jurisdiction to the people at
Washington.
It is not fair that the foreign nations
should be able to turn to Uncle Sam
for indemnity for wrongs done to their
subjects while sojourning here, when
Uncle Sam has no right to interfere
If a number of foreigners are for any
reason strung up or shot down by the
people of given state, the people or
that state should be made to pay the

HELPING MONTREAL.

Again the country is being told that the
people of New York are about to take
steps to restore to that port the lost
shipping which has been sacrificed during
the past few years. The shameful local
dockage and lighterage charges, and the
utterly backward condition of the great
canal waterways of that state, have done
their deadly work, and other ports, like
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newport News,
and, notably, Montreal, are reaping the
profit
The people of this state or section do
not care penny whether New York falls
behind or goes ahead, or whether it in
creases or lessons or removes it's port
charges on domestic shipping. They do
care, as American citizens, however, very
much about the diversion of their ship
ping, which is being threatened, toward
Montreal. That port has been putting
forth big efforts to get at the American
ises to succeed. When the Canadians
have built that canal from Georgian bay
through to the Ottawa river and to Mon
treal, that will be the end of all water
shipments of American Northwestern
products intended for foreign markets.
They Will go to Montreal, and nothing
can send them down by way of Buffalo
ernor of New York he approved an en-
gineering report which could only have
been in the interest of the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad corpora
ton, if it Were not dictated by the blind
selfshness and folly of the several To-
calities along the lines of that road, and
of the canals. That report provided for
establishing system of barge shipment
on the canals, and gave a setback to
the improvement of that marine highway
which it will not overcome for many gen.
erations. Instead of promoting a ship
canal around the falls and all the way
into the Hudson, that measure left the
canals practically where they now are.
: Northwestern people do not want to
see their products passing over foreign
territory to get to the markets of Eu-
rope; but if they can thereby materially
lessen the cost of their shipment, they
will have little regard for the welfare
of a community which has shown itself
even if that community be the American
metropolis.

and plays it remarkably well. Creatore,
by the extravaganza of his gesticulation
and posturing, caricatures every shade
of emotion expressed by the band. Do

in grief, his limp arms express the fulfil

the band bursts forth into paeon of
joyfuI melody that Creatore most thor
oughly appreciates the pleasures and
possibilities of conducting. His foreign
little face lights up with the delight ex-
pressed by the music. His swaying arms
beat the air in ecstacy. His mop of black
hair waves about his pallid face exuit-
