WASHIHGTOH LETTER.
Wasotnotox, Apr,:}, 1SSM,
Sir. Blaine has by direction of-the Pros
ident, in sale public a statement of the no
; gotiations between himself and the Itali
an minister, which led up to the
1 national sensation of this week—the sud
den recall of the Italian minister by his
government, because of di.-satisfaction on
! account of non-action by onr
! in regard to its demands for the punish •
j ment of the New Orleans “Mafia” lynch
ers, and the payment of a money indem
| uity to the families of the Italian sub
jects lynched.
Air. Blaine shows in a highly credit a
' bio and dignified style that this govern
ment lind taken evtv y proper and reason
! able . steps to ascertain whether any of the
j men lynched wove subjects of Italy, and
j that the Italian government for
| of its own had, before waiting for any
definite information on that subject, rc
called its minister in a manner that was
intended to be highly discourteous, not
I to sav actually insulting.
„„' I here . , but ", sentiment ‘ . , here, , and ,
is one
that is . against .... tins senseless , bit , . of , bins- ,,
ter on the part , of , „ the Macaroni , r . eaters. ,
Italy ,, , has , a very strong , navy consisting . . of
somo of the strongest vesslcs afloat, , but ,
her treasury is practically bankrupt and
her credit isn’t , good , m . the money ‘of
hots of the world,‘to say nothing her

better sense than to think that possible.
Those familiar with the present condi
tiou of Italian affairs have several rea
sons which to account for the
tive slap in the face that government has
given Uncle Sam. In the first place there
lias been a recent change in the ministo¬
ry ovei there, which amounts to about
the same as a change of administration
with us, and the new ministery may have
been desirous of getting rid of their lnin
j s ter to the United States, and have ta
ken this decidedly dramatic way of doing
it; another reason, and a good one, is
that in order to keep up its immense war
armament the ministry foresaw that an
increase of taxation was inevitable, and
in order to make its collection easier tlicj r
got up this war scare; but according to
private cable advices, there is another and
more potent reason—the “Mafia” in Ital
ly , . said ., to . , have compelled King Tr Hum
is
," bert , and , his ministry ... to . act . as it ., directed, ,,
This . , last , may or may not , be , true, , but , , if
true, it would not be the first Jtime that
this society of thieves and murderers
have dictated the policy of tbs Italian
government.
There is no excitement hero over the
situation-; and it is probable that Mr.
Harrison is devoting more time to arrang¬
ing the details of his across the continent
trip, upon which lie lias decided to
April 15, than upon what Italy's next
step will be.
There is some dissatisfaction in the
bureau of engraving and printing because
Secretary Foster has declined to act up
0,1 a rel l uest lnade W the natiol,al organ¬
ization of the Knights of Labor, which
presented a grievance against the A me
lie an Federation of labor men employed
in the bureau, and also charges against
Cnpt Meredith, chief of the bureau. This
is a revival of an old trouble in that in¬
stitution.
Commissioner of Pensions Iiaum may
be perfectly honorable and honest in all
his private transactiods, and l think he
is, but there is no denying the fact that
lie has had the ill luck to get mixed up in
a lot of things that tp the general public
to be questionable. The latest charge
against him is that a surburban real es¬
tate company of which ho is president,
the object of which was to build a minia¬
ture city, had collapsed after collecting
something like $ 30,000 from ifs stock
holders, who are principally office hold¬
ers, many of them said to be under Gen.
Iiaum, and that the money paid in totlio
company has not been properly account¬
ed fog.
Commissioner of Indian affairs $f organ
is very positive that there will he no trou
blu among the Indians this spring. He
insists that liars are plentiful in the In
dian country and that it is they who orig
inato the sensational stories constantly
muking their appearance in tjie
Ex-Congressman Carter, of Montana,
' liiS ' '-hen charge of the General Land Of
as Commissioner,
The new law enacted by the last Com
jrrcKs, imposing additional v r trie?tons
upon immigration, went into cheat on
Wednesday ol this week, with the ex
eeption of the clauses creating an immi
gration bureau in the Treasury

LITTLE CHEEK.
Banxf.P.-Mes.se.ngkh:—I t has
sometime since 1 wrote to you, ' and i
don’t know that you * have space for my
nonsense, but I though 0 I would give your
readers some of , tne . news , from V.,

worse than all it is getting so dark around
! “ re a “ «***»» «»“ baf ™
sundown. Negroes came in tins
ment ’till it is as dark as a stack of black
cats.
It rains every now and occasionally
and the fanners are the worst behind I
ever saw them.
There is very little corn planted yet,
and the ground is so wet that it can’t he
planted.
Health is improving, though there is
some sickness. Mr. J. A. Sewell’s little
child is very sick. It has had
spasms and it seems that they get worse
every time. It is one of the sweetest lit¬
tle babies in the world. We don’t think
it will live long to be loved in this world.
Weil, the girls made April fools of the
hoys on the last night of March. They
pretended that they wanted the boys to
make up a party and then never went
to it. You may guess the boys were sold
out cheap.
This is the 2nd day of April and I have
only about four acres of corn planted and
ought to have forty and can’t get to brake
the ground as it stays too wot to plow,
don’t know wliat will become of the
farmers if it keeps on raining through
this month like it'has since Christmas.
Wheat looks bad in this section, and oats
arc just coming up and will bo iato and
light if the come at ail.
Well, well, there is a bad talo out on a
man who is called a preacher. There
was a crowd of men came in this section
to camp 1 t.hu. and the preacaer joineu in
lha lnmt an ' ! wlien ftu thougnt they were
a11 of f 011 t!ie 8tand hc wen - back to die
house where they were camping and pick
ed the lock and took out si : pounds of
shot and other little things uid one of
the party had got where he could sec the
house and saw him. That is a bad report
to be on a preacher, though they are toll
ing it publicly and I am sure he had
better been at home at work.
