Here is a concentrated Italian colony larger than Naples or Rome, whose population can- not afford to acquire the reputa- tion of being impervious to teach- ing in the language, laws, purpose and ideals of this their adopted refuge-nation. It would be unjust to‘assert that their criminal ten- dencies are demonstrated in an abnormal ratio; but, owing to un- ENGL remedy, the activity of « coal (| “~<s 9; y of a sma CoE percentage of kidnappers, coun- terfeiters, dynamiters, firebugs, murderers and all-round “Black Hand- erg,” a whole community of well-deserving and high-spirited people! who would be desirable citizens if they had a fair chance, are branded wholesale as an alien army of undesirables. | } A large proportion of the immigration that swells this colony is | of the “contadini” or country laborer class, whose honest but unre- | f ed impulses can easily be diverted crime-ward by their under- | ground compatriots under pretext of the fraternal fellowship they | crate, as strangers in a strange land. | tIt is for the protection of these people against themselves and | their own, even more than to mitigate the intolerable nuisance of having the depredations of théir black sheep go on unchecked, that | our City Clubs discuss strenuous measure a= and our Italian-American | Jaagues organize to co-operate with the courts in running the male- faotors to earth. Americans and Italians have now joined hands in the determination to send back to Italy the criminals already under con- vietion there, and to prevent others from coming here. “Among the Americans actively concerned in this work are Jacob HL. Schiff, Lloyd C. Griscom, James B. Reynolds, John Foster Carr, W. L. Hervey, Elgin R. L. Gould and others of like standing and responsi- bility. Their Italian colleagues include the leading merchants, bank- ers, physicians and other professional men of the race resident here, and are in close touch with the Government authorities of both aations. The Italian-American League is not trying to restrict immigra- tion, but on the contrary to benefit and encourage the great mass of deserving immigrants. In the few months of its existence it has already helped over five hundred men to take out their naturalization papers. + In view of these facts it is deplorable that one of the Italian daily newspapers of New York should take such a tone as is indicated in the following translation from a recent editorial: ‘ “If we ‘should wish to have immigration restricted, we would have {t that those persons should be deported who are worse than the Black Hand- ers, and who under the appearance of doing a good work of honest eltizens commit the crime of defaming the Itallan colony. ¢ bd ° It isa new kind of criminality which ought to be repressed only by lynching.” This is the spirit that blocks and self-sacrificing officials like the murdered Petrosino, and keeps immune the brigands who packed: the court-room and gave the “death sign” to witnesses on the stand at the trial of the child- stealer, Patenza, last weck. That it is not the spirit of the majority of self-respecting and: really progressive Italian Americans, we can well believe. If the “Progresso” in sifch utter- ancés really pretends to speak for any considerable class of uur pros- pective fellow-citizens, we can only say that the latter are pecu- liarly unfortunate in their mouth- piece. the reform work of courageous t ‘ “N with admiration at their pi while Gertrude, the girl w all this regal splendor, was still dazed Jarre continued, nice things you children did get for!

(The New York Word) No, 15.—An Opened Window That Destroyed a Kingdom. ]) HUGE, awkwardly built travelling coach lumbered through @ French village on June 21, 1791. It was the sort of carriage to at- tract notice anywhere, Gilded and blazoned like a circus chariot, {t was also piled higher than a moving van with all sorts of luggage. As the four panting horses dragged their tremendous load through the village they were forced to halt for a moment while an obstacle of some sort was moved from the road. A man opened one of the coach windows and thrust out his head to find out why they had stopped. It was the fussy, foolish action of a fussy, foolish man, But {t cost France her king and her king his head, and it led to a series of horrors that convulsed the world, If the man had not opened the window and stuck that fat, stupid face of his out of it the history of the following few years would have been utterly different. Here \s the story: The people of France had awakened at last from centurjes of hopeless apathy, They had waked to find themselves oppressed, starved, robbed; bound hwnd and foot in @ bitter slavery by the court and the nobles. It was a terrible awakening. The French tore off their shackles and turned upon their tyrants. They smashed the power of the royal court and they slaughtered the nobles by hundreds. Then they set up a Government by the People, and made their King sign a Constitution guaranteeing them their rights, The King chanced to be Louls XVI.—thick-headed, well-meaning, weak, His wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, was as silly as her hus- band was stupid; as wilful as he was irresolute. She was like a vain bird that wayly preens its plumage in front of the sportsinan's loaded gun. A terrible fate was daily drawing in closer upon her. And instead of avoiding that fate, as ahe might easily have done, she danced forward unthinkingly to meet it. By a+ vising the King to ignore the people's rights, by committing wild extravagances While the peasants starved and by a dozen other follies she greatly hastened the day of reckonini At last the King and Queen were shut up thelr own palace, virtually prisoners. Each new blunder of theirs plunged them deeper into trouble. The people were drunk with @ new-found liberty. They now had no reverence nor regard for the royal family. Louls XVI. was a mere figurehead, likely at any moment to be toppled over, One course for safety alone remained: If the King could escape from France, reach some adjoining country and take refuge there, other European powers would quickly raise a mighty army in his behalf and put him triumphantly | on his throne again with all his old tyrannical privileges. For a rising of the people was a thing that the monarchs of Europe had always dreaded. And for | thelr own sakes, by way of example, they would be glad to help Louls thrash bis rebellious subjects and resume his former power. Orne A Terrible Awakening. rrr So the royal family decided to escape. This would have been a very simple matter had sensible p ons been concerned tn it. (Mor instance, the King's brother WELL, BY JI ! quietly got into a plain hired carriage and drove to Brussejs unhindered’ and un- LFORGOT TO PUPA suspected), But that was not spectacular enough to sult Marie Antoinette. She entered upon the scheme as if {t had been a plan for a state ball. Though the net of vigilance was fast closing about the palace, there were still many loopholes in the meshes, Instead of taking advantage of these and hur- rylng out of the country at once, the Queen delayed the sf yg departure for weeks while she had a wonderful outfit of One _ Woman's court costumes prepared and a gorgeous state coach Folly. mado ready for the trip.

On the night of June King Louts was dressed as a valet and called himself His only son was disguised as a girl. Ono accident after another atened to spoil the expedition. The secret was out and the people were sus- us. Yet the fugitives got away from Paris in safety. Though they had every reason for hurrying, they loitered alonz the road. At one point where haste was most needful Louls stopped for an hour at an inn to gorge himself on cutlets, (Says one old writer: “Had not the King stopped to eat cutlets be would hay escaped.) Then, gt a moment when the utmost secrecy was called for, the King thrust his head out of the carriage window to see what had caused a briet halt in the journey. He was recognized by a passerby, who galloped ahead to ad the alarm. At Varennex, almost on the frontier, within a few 1 ot perfect safety, the royal fugitives were caught—thanks to this warning—and dragged back to prison.
