Bay* the Wnshington Pott: “The
careless and apparently indiscriminate
manner with which the courts of to-day
destroy the will* of rich mon, docu
ment* that embody the purpose and ob
jeefc of a lifetime of toil, has become one
of the notable and notorious abuses of
the day, and against this evil there is ris¬
ing a vigorous demand for rectification
tnd reform.”
According to the Boston Tranter ip f,
“Hebrew is again becoming a living
language in Palestine. The thousands
of Jews who arc going there from dif¬
ferent countries, being unable to com
municatc with each other in their or¬
dinary languages, resort to the knowl¬
edge which they have of Hebrew in
their religious services for a means of
communication.”
It is said that Mrs. Kyle, wife of the
Alliance Senator from South Dakota, felt
overpoweriug confidence during the can
vass that her husband would be elected,
and whenever he talked of declining the
nomination she insisted that ho would
yield and win. This, confesses tho
Boston Trantrript, brings woman's
intuition into play in politics in a new
and admirable way.
Tho Statesman't Tear Book for 1891 es¬
timates the world’s inhabitants last year,
exclusive of the Polar regions, to have
been 1,467,600,000 and tho land surface
they occupy in whole or in part at 46,*
850,000 square miles, of which 28,269,
900 square miles are fertile, IS,901,000
iteppe and 4,180,000 desert. Tho Polar
regions are put down at 4,888,800
iquare miles, with a population of only
ibout 300,000.
A London Boa* d tri Trade return, just
t*«ue<1, shows tho large decrease in the
hours of labor during the past ten years,
which is bringing tho eight-hour limit
nearer and nearer. Bakers who, a decade
igo, worked seventy-two hours & week
now work fiity-four hours; miners, for¬
merly sixty hours, now thirty-eight and
forty-eight hours.^Workmen of all trades
bow average fifty-four hours weekly, or
nine hours a day.
A prominent civil engineer has ex¬
pressed the opinion that safety from de¬
railment at very high speeds would
be best secured by very slightly
rurving the line of road just sufficiently
to cause the flanges of the wheels to bear
ronstantly against one side. With that
instruction ho considers that any
possible speed that could bo got from
Meetrio motors, say up to 200 miles an
hour, would be perfectly safe.
Tho Atlanta Constitution remarks',
First-clasg type-written copy is hailed
with pleasure in newspapers and maga
tine offices, but very little of it is first
class. It is a positivo relief to get a
manuscript legibly written on white pa¬
per in good black ink, with a pen that
makes a broad stroke. The trouble with
many writers is that they use a pen with
% fine point, and write a hair-lino scrawl
that is hard to read. It is possible to
make writteu copy as plain as print, and
this is what every writer should do.

THE STRIKE ON IN NEW YORK.
The threatened strike fixed for May

ferent trades, are on a strike.

TnE MURDER OF WORKMEN.
A dispatch of Sunday from Paris says;
The details of the labor troubles at
Fourmies immensely heighten the fioliti
cal importance of the incident. The
fact that six women, several children and
eight men were killed on the spot, while
twenty were seriously wounded, several
fatally, gives the affair the character of a
massacre. The soldiers were merely
exposed to stone-throwing, but they re
plied with successive volleys from their
new Lebel rifles, inflicting frightful
wounds on their victims. Parliamentary
circles view the affair as Shaking the
position of the ministry, Labor centers
throughout France are profoundly moved,
and public meetings at Paris, Marseilles,
Lyons and ersewhere are being orgaufzed
to of protest the against the precipitate action
authorities.
CHEAP LABOR.
A later dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa.,
savs: The expected sensation of the
week is the promised importation of
7,000 workmen from different parts of
the east. It is said that many will be
negroes and Italians. The operators
have little to iay except that they must
run their plants somehow, while the ci'i
zens skilled generally labor are indignant that steady,
seems about to bo driven
from the field by this threatened invasion
of ignorant and by no means desirable
laborers.

REPORT OF THE NEW ORLEANS
GRAND JURY
On the Lynching* of the Italians.
—The People Sustained.
Aftcr weeks’ investigation the New
Orleans grand jury completed its labors
'\ n thc Hennessy case and the killing of
the Italians at the parish prison, by pre
renting a special report Tuesday after
, ' 00 "- H is a very long document. Three
thousand words at the beginning are de
voted to the subject of the alleged brib
( r y of tb e jury which tried the Italians,
The grand jury is emphatic in the ex
Passion of the assured conviction that
the result of that trial was due to tara
P erin g with the jury by Detective O’Mal
le y and others associated with and cm
ployed by him. Regarding this the re
poit says:
“But sufficient, evidence was offered by
voluntary and reliable witnesses to justi
ty the indictment of six men, as follows:
Thomas McCrystol and John Cooney,
bribe w '_Gi C. talesman, C. O’Malley, and for Bernard attempting to
Charles a Granger anil Ferneard Glaudi,
for attempt by each Armeant,
to bribe three differ
eut talesmen. These parties are clearly
shown to have been intimate with O’Mal
ley, informed of all doings, and were
active workers in the jury fixing business
generally. We are prompted to express
ourselves in deprecation of the hesitation
°f many of our citizens to be connected
with criminal prosecution by seeking re
lief from jury duty. Intelligent and law
abiding citizens, with i hose eugaged in
various enterprises of business and trade,
mus which t recognize the obligation, without
the guilty too often go unpun
is hed.”
The report then sets forth O’Malley’s
criminal “ record from VhTeh previous “t to the Hen f nessv 7

powerless °ate in courts, the ends paralyzing and rendering

this was a desperate situation. In the
public meeting above referred to, general
and spontaneous in character, as truly in -
dicating an uprisiug of the masses, we
doubt if any power at the command!
of the authorities would havo hoea
sufficient to overcome its intentions. Evi
dence i - before us from official sources
that eleven persons were killed in the
attack on the psfrish prison. In a care¬
ful examination as to the citizenship of
tilt semen, we find that light of them
were, beyond question, “declared American citi¬
zens, and another had his in-*
tention” in this court, which act carries
with it a renuuciation of aLegianco to he;
native country. It is a notcwoithy fact,
in connection with the uprising that no*
injury whatever was done to either per
son or property beyond the one act, which
seemed to have been the object of the
assemblage at the parish prison. We
have referred to the large number of
citizens participating in this demon¬
stration, estimated by judges from
0,000 to 8,000, regarded as a spontane¬
ous uprising of the peple. ■ The magni¬
tude of this affair makes it a difficult
task to fix guilt upon any number seemed of the
participants; involve the entire in fact, the of act the parish to
people
and the city of New Orleans, so profu w
is their sympathy, and extended tueiir
connection with the affair. In view of
these considerations, a thorough examina ¬
tion of the subject has failed to disclose’
the necessary Diets to justify this grand
Jury in presenting indictments. Respect¬
fully submitted.

COMMENT AT WASHINGTON.
A telegram from Washington ot
Wednesday says: The report of the New
Orleans grand jury upon the killing o 4 -:
the Italians was a fruitful theme for dis
cussion among the people of the depart¬
ment of state. It may be said that the
findings of the grand jury excited no sur¬
prise, for some such conclusion of the case
was expected. The attempt to palliate
the infraction of the law by offsetting
alleged attempts at jury fixing is depre ¬
cated by legal minds of the department,,
but there is a well defined opinion that
on the whole, the outcome of the case will
be beueficial in its effects upon turbulent
foreign elements in the United States, in¬
asmuch as it will make clear
to them the fact that they cannot
rely upon treaties to escape responsi¬
bility t o a great republic for their unlaw¬
ful acts. The report of the grand jury
will, it is expected, reach Secretary
Blaine in the course of time, and figure
in the official correspondence between’
the United States and Italy. There iy
reason to believe that in some details it.
differs from the report made to the de¬
partment of justice by District Attorney
Grant, and notably in the matter of the
victims.

given it to them, and that much I did
