The killing of five Indians at Wal- senburg, Colo, by a mob, In revenge for the murder of an American by sev- oral Italians, is a deplorable affair, but it | is not likely to lead to any complications | between this government and that of | | Ttaly, as has been snggested. While it | is quite probable that race feeling had | some influence in prompting the violence ;..n the part of the mob, the facts show that it is not a matter about which any fnternational controversy can arise un the Ttalinn government wants an for breaking off friendly rels th the United On last a man named Hixon, who was a | | deputy sheriff and a saloon keeper, wis brutally beaten to death by several | Ttalinns, Some of those fmplicated in the erime were arvested and when on their way to prison were met by a bod, of armed men and shot. The other were subsequently apprehended and | | tken to jail. where they were Killed by masked men who gained an entrance to the prison. The whole aftair was of a | Kkind possible at any time in the mining districts and presents noth ing for international complication. Tt is a matter with which the state anthort | ties of Colorado alone have to deal, the federal government having no responsi bility whatever in conneetion with it. The crime was against the laws of the | state and it is the business of Colorado to bring the offenders to punishment. Even if it should be established that any of the Italians Killed were ecitizens of ftaly that 't would make no differ- | ence so far as the general government is concerned, which accords no special or discriminative consideration to the citizens of foreign countries The fact that the Italian minister at Washington has filed a protest with the State department need not be taken | very scriously, It is very largely a mere matter of form. Of course it is to be expected in the event of its heing found that any of the murdered Italians were Ttalian subjects (ha n indemnity | will be ked, but the Italian govern ment must understand that no such re- quest would be recognized hy our gov- ernment as in the nature of a lawful claim, and, if allowed, it would be done simply as a matter of good will and courte: The position of the govern- ment was very fully and clearly set forth in connection with the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, just four years ago. Then the Ttalian government asserted the right to demand and obtain punishment of the murderers and in- demnity for the vietims. Our govern ment, while not refusing to consider the demand for indemnity, in very plain terms declared that so rar as the mat- ter of punishing the murderers was con- corned that w entirely outside of its authority and was wholly in the hands of the lawful authorities of Louisiana. Upon this statement of the govern- ment's attitude the Italian government evineed its disple: tion by recalling i quently, when our government had be- come satisfied that five of the Ital killed at New Orleans were subjects of Ttaly, it paid an indemnity of $25,000. The affair in w Orleans presented a much stronger case against the govern- ment than in Colorado; indeed, there is really no ground in the latter for any claim on the part of the Italian wovernment any more than there would be in ease of a feud anywhere in which Italinns we killed. The authorities of Colorado scem disposed to do their whole duty in connes with thi; deplorable occu the government of Italy can reasonably expeet. At any rate there s no reason to believe that any serious controversy or complications will result from the affair. loss exense wi obvious] MORE, THOROUGH INSPECTION, The last congress passed an act, sup- plemental to the meat inspection law of 1801, which gives the secretary of agri- culture additional authority to inspect live eattle and fresh meat intended for exportation to foreign countries. The rlier act has been rigidly enforced and the additional legislation was intended to meet every possible reasonable ob- Jection that might be raised abroad sainst the admission of meat products om the United States. The American ambassador to France has informed the IPrench government of the methods dopted by the United States to prevent the exportation of diseased cattle and meats, and has also protested against the order of that government excluding from entry meat products exported from the United States under the general allegation that such products are un- healthful. It is said that the reply of the I'rench government is awaited with great interest at Washington, It is pretty safe to predict that it will not be isfactor That the statement of the Agricultural department, that under the inspection practiced no diseased nor unwholesome meats have been sent abroad, is trust- worthy there can be no doubt. But no representations made by our govern- ment regarding the thorough enforc ment of the inspection laws seem to have any weight with the Iuropean governments that have taken action hos- tile to our eattle and meats, Those gov- ernments proceed entirely upon the re- ports of their experts, ignoving ulto- gether the inspection certificates given by the United States experts, and it is hardly to be expected that they will be 1 uaded to change their poli in this respect. It is sald to be the general opinion in official cireles in Washington that 19 nd the Nether- lands are acting in pursuance of a com- won understanding in excluding exports from the United States, and that the Prench government will therefore ad- bere to its plea that the act of exclusion was dictated by sanitary reasons, and was not prompted by tarift legislation on the part of the United States. This is what Germany has affiemed in justi fication of its action, and it is the und taken by all the governments of BEurope which have diseriminated against our cattle and meats. But there can be no reasonfible doubt that it is a were pretext, and that the 1-10 of a cent differential duty on sugar imported re countries paying an export bounty is the real cause of the discrimination. As soon as the government has heard from France in reply to the protest of | ture of South Dakota agreed to { resolution providing for the appointment our minister, it will probably take iuto serlous consideration the question as to what further action should be taken with a view to inducing or forcing European governments to abandon their unfriendly policy toward American | proanct. FOR A BOUNDARY COMMISSION. The legislature ought not to adjourn without acting upon the memorial of the outh Dakota legislature to which Gov- ernor Holcomb has ealled attention by special executive mes The mem- orial nsks simply for an adjustment of the boundary line between the states of South Dakota and Nebraska, where, by reason of the shifting channel of the Misgouri, the river that formerly formed the dividing line n no longer be re- ferred to with that designation.

There has been considerable litigation in the federal courts over changes in Doundary rivers, one or two cases hav- ing arisen in connection with the vagaries of the Missou A compars tively recent decision of the United States supreme court where the title Omaha was brought in que: tion was to the effect that while gradu- ally formed aceretions belonged (o the state to which they attached themselves, land separated by avulsion or sudden change of channel remained in the me jurisdiction as before, In that case the boundary was resurveyed under an order from the court. There is no reason however why South Dakota and Nebr should go to law about the extent of Dixon county so long as an amicable arrangement is both possible and des by both. Courtesy de- mands that the South Dakota legislative memorial be given the consideration due to it. o8 sov ska A COUNTRY TRAMIAY. Douglas county has expended $150,000 for paving country roadways leading out of Omaha. When the proposition was first made to vote bonds for the purpose it met with popular approval, and the completed roadways are now regarded as the beginning of an extended system of improved roads throughout the county which must in time become of incalcula- ble advantage to the farmers whose land is reached, as well as to the trades- men of Omaha. When the subject w under discussion by the people of city and county The Bee pointed out the Denefits that might reasonably be ex- pected to accrue, chief among which was the practicability of electrie tram- s along the paved roadw con- necting every village and hamlet in the county with the best market in state. This plan included, of cou vapid transit of the products of farm, the truck garden and the dairy, as well as the passenger traffic, which would put Omaha next door to every important community in the county. As has been stated, no field of enter- prise is more inviting to our people, and none presents better guaranty of ul- timate success to promoters and greate benefits to the public. It is a matte worthy of note that a company of men whose interests lie outside of the city limits has taken the initiative looking to the construction of an electric tram- way from Benson to Dennington, thus putting the latter village in direct com- munication with Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs. It 1s the beginnin of a new era for Omaha. The construe- tion of this tramway will be the wedge which must sooner or later open up and develop an immense traflic for this city which hitherto has been divided among towns outside the county more accessi- ble by wagon road. It goes without saying that this tram- way will greatly enhance the value of lands which it traverses, while it can- not fail to prove a profitable investment for its projectors. The proposed enter- prise deserves the support of our trade organizations, whose duty it should be to foster and encourage every project that promises so great an impetus to the 1 trade of Omaha. The Missouri state fish commissioner has sent in his resignation to the gov- ernor because the sum placed at his disposal by the legislature of that state is in his opinion insuflicient for the pur- Nebraska unfortunately is not with such sensitive public officers. No one ever heard of any one resigning a lucrative position in Ne braska heeause his estimates for future expenditures had been cut down by the Jegislative body. If this custom only prevailed the legislature would have fine sport exercising this power to vacate oflices, pose. b ssed With home rule in the matter of munfei- pal government, allowing the people of Omalia to frame their own eity charter, the citizens would be spared the incon- veuience and annoyance of the biennial expeditions to Lineoln to implore the legislature to make needed changes in the law. The campaign for municipal reform would be fought on the home grounds. With the charter making sixty miles away the people actually affected by it ar almost wholly ex- cluded from participati The senator who favored the abolition of the death penalties because there are hundrveds and thousands of men hanged every year who are lnnocent of murder ought to revise his statistics. According to the best available figures, those complled by the Chicago Tribune, the total nitfuber of legal executions in the whole, United States during the year 1804 was 1 as compared with 126 in 1803,cud 107 in 1892 There woere in 1804100 illegal executions, ten less than k' preceding year, three being women. and 134 being negroes. Of course thé aholition of capital pun- ishment everywhere would not have any tendency’ 1d dect the number of manifestations of lynch law. Instead, therefore, of/saving thousands or even lundreds of inndeent people each year, it could not, affowing a large ratio, save ten in the whole United States. There are seldom more than three or four legal executions in Nebraska in a year. Transformed to cold figures, the | field of sentimentalism is wonderfully cireumseribed. case s: A writer in a local paper who has not | the first conception of statistical com- | parison points to the death rate pro- mulgated by the Board of Health conclusively proving Omaha to be healthiest city in the United States, course this is pure imagination. The rate given for 1804 may be than that for 1803, but it in itself does not prove anything, The troubie with all onr death rates is that they ave caleu- lated upon estimated population and the population is always estimated too | high. If there ave less people in Omaha | than there were a year ago there will naturally less deaths. But if the | vatio is caleulated upon the old number of inhabitants or upon an inereased number of inhabitants the rvate will be constantly deercasing. Then, too, there are agreat many other things to be con sidered in connection with the healthful- ness of a city besides the death rate. The health of the people of Omaha is good enough without claiming it to be the best of any community in the coun- try. as the or | loss be s of this and other are hesitating to fill or- ders from merchants of interior coun- ties because of the uncertainty of col- lections the logislature goes merrily on in efforts to pass laws in restraint of trade. Our merchants arve getting it both coming and going. If there ever wis a time in the history of this com- monwealth when the business men should be left severely alone this is that time. I there no man in the Lancaster and Douglas delegations with wit enough to present this phase of the case to our august law makers? While the jobbe Nebraska citi No city in the state has a more vital interest in the proceedings of the re- maining days of the legislature than has Omahy Yet there are hundreds of citi- zens totally oblivious of the menacing attitude of certain bills now pending with fair chance of enactment.

Courier Jornal: The Indian state legisla- ture has adjournsd. The Indiana legislature was a body of such small partisans that they could march shoulder to shoulder through the eye of a needle without the least crowos ing. Chicago Mail: The whole country will deplore this disgraceful row and there will be a disposition among the radical partisans of both sides to lay the blame upon each other. Fair minded men of all parties, how- ever, will fix the blame where it properly belongs, upon the spoils system. Chicago Post: Indiana polities has always been a byword for venomous partisanship and disgraceful methods, but this occurrence caps all possibilities fn the way of scandal. The riot may be sald to be the logical out- come of brutalized officeholding and office- sceking, but it was not less on that ac- count a disgrace to the commonwealth. St. Paul Pioneer-Press: It is a great pity that there Is no authority competent to g0 within the legislature and teach these bullies and ruffians a lesson by inflicting the proper penalty. But the moral of the oc- currence is worth something, for this is the natural and legitimate outcome of the spolls system in politic reached the perfection attained in Indiana. Indianapolis News: But the whole inci- dent is a sad scandal. It Is the spoils sys- tem reduced to a physical basis the people of the state to consider it in that light. For the sake of a few paltry offices, are not worth a moment's thought on the part of any sane man, the name of the state fs disgraced and the halls of the state house are filled with a howling mob. Chicago Inter Ocean: All parties to this disgraceful affair must share the censure. Tho governor's action was not politic, to £ay the least; the action of the republicans as ill-advised the violence of the rats, There resentment and ir- n over other mattcrs, bitterness of feellng went 1o extremes over this very trifling affair, and all parties owe an apology to the state. Denver Republican: Indiana need of civilizing influence, if any Judge by the riot which occurred in the legislature of that state Monday night. There scems 1o be a contagion of violence among legislators this year, for congress had fts trouble and even the legislature of Co has not been exempt. But neither trouble in our legislature nor that which occurred in congress was to be compared with the general riot which took place in the legislature of Indiana.

The anarchists are not all in the procession that follows the red flag. Chicago Tribune: There have been rows in legislatures before this io proceedings of the estimable common council of this city have been enlivengl sometimes by animated hts, which led to increased attendance at subsequent meetings, But the Tribune does not recall at this moment as faithful a legis- lative reproduction of a football scrimmage as the performance in the Indiana house of representatives Monday night. Nor is it casy to recall as extensive a row over as ignoble a cause, ere have becn con- flicts over the organization of a house, over the ratification of a consitutional amendment, or even over some important law, but in this case the row was over a miserable bit of patronage. was stands in one may The fa disgraceful tendency of PEOPLE The result of Li Hung Chang's diplomacy many be summed up briefly.
