to the conclusion that jan Italian
citizen who attendjjo his own busi

Siguor
Crispi sa ya Secretary
Blaine's, letter of April 1st, .was laid
before the Italian, government and
thnt'j Premier Rudini directed him
to say; that the government of iltaly
had asked, nothing " beyond the
prompt institution of judicial pro
ceedings through the regular ihun-
nels. lle acknowledges thjat it
would have been absurd to laim
the punishment of guilty parties
without warrant of regular judge
ment, and repeats the ; original de
mand for the prompt institution oi
judicial proceedings, and says! that
not until the United States govern
ment shall have explicitly declared
tfialf "he proceedings shall be
promptly begun can the diplomatic
incident be considered as closed.
Secretary Blaine in reply sa3s the
United States did not by treaty! with
Italy becomo the insurer of the
lives or property of Italian subjects
in our territory. If it should ap-r
pear that among the victims at New
Orleans were Italian subjects J resi
dent there in conformity with the
treaty, and not in violation of the
immigration laws, abiding in peace
in the United States and obeying
the laws, and that public officers
connived at the work of the mob,
or failed upon proper notice or in
formation of'thej threatened danger,
to take steps to, preservelthe peace.
and bring the guilty to trial; the
President,-under such circumstan
ces, the Secretary says, will be jus-
ti0ed in bringing the matter before
Congress, with a view to . the relief
of the families of the Italian subjects
who lost their lives by violence. -s
Secretary Blaine also says if it is
found th'at the prosecution of the
persons charged with the killing of
the Italian; subjects can be main
tained .under U. S. statutes the -case
will be presented to the next grand
jury, Sut if, as seems probable,
proceedings cannot be taken in the
courts of Louisiana, the President
can only urge .the State ofhcials
promptly to bring the offenders to
trial, and thi3 he has already done.
He also says if the case can, only be
prosecuted in the State courts and a
judicial investigation is not resorted
toit will then be the duty of the
United States to consider whether
some other form of redress may be
asked. He adds that it is under
stood the Louisiana State Grand
Jury is now investigating the affair,
and while it is possible thejury may
fail to present indictments, the
United States cannot assume that
such will be the case.

ter for Foreign Affairs replied to a
question as to what action that gov
ernment would take in view of the
note of the American Secretary, of
State, Mr. Blaine addressed to the
Marquis Imperiali, the Italian charge
of affairs at Washington.
The Marquis De Rudini said that
the government would decline to
admit the irresponsibility of the
United States towards .the single
states , composing the "American
Union The question at issue in the
.
present controversy was one in which
interested every civilized govern
ment in. the world as well as it does
that of Italy.
Continuing, the Premier1 said the
Italian government had no fear po
litical difficulties, but it waa filled
wtth regret that so highly civilized
country as the United States
should fail in the fulfilment of. its
duties to the cause of iusticeand
morality.
Cheers greeted the conclusion of
the Premier's explanation. ,

.CniSLEStoy, S. C., ' April , 17.
The . fi jst white' Bepuhljcan meet
ing evefr held in the State took place
.at the State capital yesterday.apd is
said to be largely the outgrowth of
the Alliance movement which swept
over.this state last year. Many cit
izens who have heretofore' been - as
sociated w.lti the siraihl-out Dem
o cratio party were present. ( This
movement is' regarded - with some
concern here, j - . t
The whito Democr.ats who are in
it say that the old .Democratic party
has been elbowed out o existence
by the farmer's movement and as
they will not subscribe to the plat
form and principles of that move
ment, they will go into the Repub
lican' party. There is some danger
of the1 flew movement -developing
into a stampede from the Democrat
ic party aa it exists in this state at
present.,
Hung an -Innocent -
Man.
Asheville Cor. Charleston Courier.
The Ranging of Tom White, a
white man, in Spartanburg about
twelve; yars ago for the murder of
Pet Hawkins, a colored man, will
always be remembered as a remark
able execution. It happened just
at a time when the ; white and col
ored races were deciUfdly at dag
gers' point, but which had no influ
ence or bearing, on the case. The
idea of a, white man being hing for
the lulling of a negro waB rather re
pulsive tj a great many people ho
had suffered under negro domina
tion and misrule, but the law took
its course and the man was execu
ted in the county jail. But he suf
fered the, penalty or a criine - with
the commission of which he had
nothing to do.and which w;is laid
to hi3 account byth man who did
the killing.- ;x
All along White ptofessed his in
nocence, and declared that he had
not killed Hawkins. ( When the
execution took place, just before the
cap wasjiput over his face, White
said: "I am an innocent roan, and I
am now to suffer death for another
man's deed.' He was executed,
and there was a good deal of talk
about his last words; but nothing
was ever tlone to ferret out the other
man of whom White spoke, on the
scaffold... .
Dick Bird soon afterwards left
Spartanburg, and went over to Polk
connty inv thia State, where he got
into some, trouble and then went
over into' McDowell county. Last
year he sickened and died. While
on his deathbed he made a full con
fession of his crime! in permitting
Tom white to be hanged for the
murder of Pet Hawkins. Bird went
on to say that he killed Hawkins,
but put the blame on' White; that
the evidence taken altogether was
against White, and that he had per
mitted him to be hanged for the
.murder, although he had nothing
jto do with it.
'.'The moral of the. removal of the
sugar duty," says the St. Louis Globe-
Democra.t (Rep.), "is that H?will pay
the Republican party to advocate
similar action yith regard to other
duties.'' ''

"A gooddeal ia being said' in our
-.North Carolina exchanges just now
about the effort? the Alliance is sup
posed to be making 4o break up the
Democratic, party in this State:
There is just nothing at all in this
talk. The Democratic 'party of
North Carolina, haa endorsed every
essential demand that has .been
made by trie Farmers' Alliance; and
so long as that party is willing to
stand by its endorsement of our de
mand?, there will b ho trouble. The
Alliance is not a political organiza
tion in a partizan sense at all. It is
an organization of the farmers of
the country to secure tertain definite,
reforms, by the agitation and .dis
cussion of certain geat public ques;
tions, and by the education of its
members ! If the Democratic- party
or any other party is willing to help
us get thtse reforms, such party
will be heartily welcomed to the
field of ouj effort. Th e Dem ocratic
party in North Carolina has said in
its Coaventions that it is willing to
help us in 'this work, and as long as
it is true to this pledge, the Alliance
Avould bejery foolish to try to break
it up. But we do not intend to al
low in? democratic party or any
Carolipa, to force upon us candi
dates who are hostile to our de
mands. ' T'his is all there is of it."
