THE NEW ORLEANS INVESTIGATION.
The grand jury which has been in ses
sion in New Orleans for the past six
weeks investigating the Hennessy mur
der, tho trial of the Italians, and the
action of the people In killing tbe
Italians in the jail, has made Its final re
port. The document Is a long one and
deals particularly with every feature of
the case.
Three thousand words at the begin
ning arc devoted to the subject of the
alleged bribery of the jury which tried
the Italians. The grand jury is cm
phatic in tbe expression of tho assured
conviction that tbe result of that trial
was due to tampering with tho jury by
Detective O'Malley and others associat
ed with and employed by him. The
method by which this conclusion is
reached is stated, circumstances re
viewed, and difficultiea thrown in the
way of the investigation set forth.
Indictments were found againyt six of
tbe men charged with tampering with
the jury, and the investigation showed
O’Malley to have had a dark criminal
record previous to tbe Hennessy murder.
The jury is satisfied from its investiga
tions of the existence of the murder
society, and says that its officers and
some of i ts members are well known
Italians of American birth.
As to the jury which sat in trial upon
ths Italians, tho grand jury is convinced
that at least three were O'Malley'i
agents, and under the Influence of
brlno. The report discusses at length
the killing of the Italians at the jail, and
concludes with the following:
“Evidence is before us from official
sources that eleven persons were killed
In tho attack on the parish prison. In a
careful examination as to the citizen-
ship of these men, we find that eight of
them were, beyond question, American
citizens, and another had 'declared hla
Intention' In this court, which act car
ries with It a renunciation of allegiance
to hia native country. It te a notewor
thy faet In connection with the uprising
that no Injury whatever was done to
either person or property beyond the
one act, which seemed to have been the
object of the assemblage at the parish
prison. We bare referred to the large
number of eltlzena participating In tbla
demonstration, estimated by judges
from 6,000 to 8,000, regarded as a spon
taneous uprising of tha people. Tbe
magnitude of this affair makes It a diffi
cult task to fix guilt upon any number
of the participants; In faet, the set
teemed to involve the entire people of
the pariah and the olty of New Orleans,
so profuse te their sympathy, and ex
tended their eonneetion with the affair.
In view of these considerations a thor
ough examination of the subject has
failed to disclose the neeessary facts to
justify the grand jury In presenting In
dictments.”
toe kino or TABirr reformer hr.
MILLS IS.
The friends of the Hon. Roger Quarles
Mills are yelling that ha te entitted to
the Speakership of tho Flfty-eeoond
Congress because ha te the representa
tive and leader of tariff reform.
The kind of tariff reform that Mr.
Mills wants he preached on the etump in
the Northwest test year, when ha ought
to have boon at hla poet In congress try
ing to earn tbe salary wbloh tbe United
States pays for bte magnifloent services.
He declared blmaelf in favor of absolute
free trade aad an Inoome tax.
Mr. Mills 1a not a tariff reformer. Ho
tea free trader, pure and simple; ex
ceedingly simple If he thloka that tbe
Democratic party haa forgotten bte
words. Hare te tbe platform upon which
Mr. MIUs stood In October, 1880; and
upon whloh the Demoeratlo party will
be supposed to stand If he If elected
Speaker :
■'Free trade will kill trusts as dead as a
doornail. And jet the Ame-iosn people In
sist on asndloi men to eonarcss that vote ter
protection.
“The Almighty never designed that an
manor any woman abonld be independent of
his fellow man. He made us dependent
upon each other. We must exebanga ths
things we do not want lor those things we
must hare. To do this we mutt hare abso
lute free trade.
11 You want reciprocity, but you want It In
the right way. In order to have It you trade
with the whole world. If you want a market,
take down the tariff on woolen goods and
Iron. Then lay a lax on inoomea and the
wealthy men or the country, and you'll tee
prosperity
“1 believe In free trade, free labor, free
speech, and a free prase.”
These wore tbe opinion! of Mr. Hills
at Minneapolis in October, 1800. The
demoerats who are supporting Mr.
Mills' candidacy for the speakership
are supporting absolute free trade and
an Income tax. What would be left of
the demoeratlo party In 1892 if It elected
Mr. Mills speaker f—New York Sun.
WHAT RECIPRO ITT MEANS.
It is clearly plain that every move by
the republican party has been to assist
manufacturers to the oppression of the
muses of our people. The reciprocity
scheme of which so much has been said
and so much good has been claimed by
tbe republican party for tho people u
a result of Its working, is simply to open
new fields for the manufactured pro
ducts of the mills, and tbe products of
the farm are entirely ignored.
If the mill owners are to be permitted
to exchange their products in Cuba for
sugar, and bring the sugar home free,
why may not the farmer exchange cot
ton for woolen clothing In England and
bring that home free?
If “reciprocity” 1a a good thing for the
mill owner, it cannot be a bad thing for
the owner of a field.
The Injustice of offering reciprocity to
one country, in order to aulst our man
ufacturers, and refusing It to another for
fear it would enrich our agriculturalists
is a piece of injustice which will not be
long tolerated, If the people will only
open their eyes to the deception being
practiced upon them.
It Is Europe to which the farmers must
look for consumers, and if the so-called
reciprocity arrangement could be effect
ed with England, France and Germany
the farmer might hope to realize some
advantage by an exchange of his pro
ducts.
In tbe current number of tbe Forum,
Mr. Mills has a timely article upon the
subject, which will attract wide atten
tion. In the course of bis article he
showe up the fallacy of tho scheme
follows:
Europe tn>n from ua more tban tcoo.coo,-
000 In acrlcnitural products yearly, which la
alxty tlmea aa muehaa the Southern conn-
trinjtnke. If reciprocity with South Ameri
ca would Increeee oureaportefiO percent —
and It probably would—It would open
ket fur 13,010,000 more of term products, and
similar results, following from reciprocity
with Europe, would Increase our exports of
farm products by $300.0 0,00r. Now, If the
'armor Is the person to be benelltted we must
loon Eastward, not Southward, for markets.
The b»st mark. Is for term predne's areuot
to be found among acilcullurai, but among
manufacturing, mining and inercanllle com
munities. A nation of termersoffer the beat
market to ma'inteeturere, and It is for that
reaeon tint reciprocity with the agricultural
ennotrlea of the Soati la ao e .mostly sought.
The‘other products’ will get tbe benefits, and
the termers, as nanal, will receive all the
compliments of tbe season."
Where the benefit to the farmer from
reciprocity comes it has not yet been ex
plained.
WORK FOR MR. CRISP.
Mr. Crisp has a good lead in tha Speak-
ershlp race. The field may combine and
defeat him, but hla chances are bright.
Savannah haa the deepest sort of Interest
In Mr. Crisp's success. He te an old 8a-
vannahlan, and 1a naturally partial to
oar olty. He has many warm personal
friends here, and we admire him and
hope to see him win. Our commercial
bodies and oar business men can assist
Mr, Crisp in ways that will occur to ev-
cry one. Mr. Crisp would appreciate
socb influence too. Let Savannah aid
him.—Savannah Tlmea.
Hon. Daniel A. Wellls 1a authority
for tbe statement that the Standard OU
Co. will reap $1,500,000 in drawbacks on
the tin used In export packages, in con
sequence of the McKinley tariff bill. Mr.
Wells further says that notice was serv
ed on Mr. MeKinley and hia Republican
associates by tbe Standard OU people
that unless their interests were token
care of by the Iniertion of a provision
allowing a drawback on Imported tin
plate used In tbe ImportaUon of domes
tic products, they would defeat the biU.
The provision was Inserted, and under
it this wealthy monopoly will get Its tin
plate for about $8.52 a box, while all or
dinary consumers will have to pay about
$6 a box.
Governor Tillhan, of South Caro
lina, te ontepokan in his opposition to
tbe third party movement, and believes
In fighting for reform inalde the party
lines and not outside of It He thinks
that any attempt to organize a third
party in bis state, or the south, would
bean absolute failure. He te squarely
against the Cincinnati third party
scheme, and believes that tbe farmers
can help themselves best by selecting a
candidate for the presidency from the
democrats who is nearest the ideas of
reform which they advocate. Governor
Tillman Is sound on this line, and the
leading men of the alliance of the eouth
are with him.
A transit of the planet Mercury
across the disc of the son will take plaee
