AETER THE DEED. London, March, 16 The News commenting com-menting 011 the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, says: "Italy's indignation indigna-tion is shared by the whole civilized world. I n nearly all such cases in America corruption is at the root of evil. Americans are at once the most patient and impatient people in the world When they have grown tired of any grievance, they move to their revenge with the .swiftness of a hawk." The Posts says Saturday's occurence ;at New Orleans will form a deplorable page in American history. In answer to a reporter whether or not he regretted the circumstaiice, Mayor Shakesphere said. "No sir," I am ,ai America citizens.and I am not atraid .ot the devil. These men deserved hang ing. 'e expected a disagreement and bad made arrangements for a retrial. When I haard of the verdict I was frozen fro-zen in my seat These men were punished pun-ished bv lawful means, the men who did , the work were all peacable and law abid ing. The Italians had taken the b.w in to their own hands aikd we had to do the same" It was what they did in Italy. The Mafia got too strong for them and what happend? The sovereign took hold of it the King. Here the sover-also sover-also took hold of it the people A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE. New York, March 16. Whatever may be said when the second and cooler thoughts of the people shall have passed judgement upon the action of the citizens citi-zens of New Orleans in killing the Italian Ital-ian prisioners m the parish jail, it will re , jnain as a remarkable coincidence that almost at the same moment a boat's ,crew of Americans were saving the lives of filieen Italian sailors.' As the mob jnoved through the streets of Crescent City, every siep hastening the death of the poor wretches in prison, a boat from jSaudy Hook life-saving station was struggling inch by meh in the face of a gale agfijist tne nugtity waves to reacn the Italian bark Utuberto Primo stranded strand-ed onRomer shoal and upon whose deck flung fifteen men exhausted from cold jnd exposure. In New Orleans there is wailing and gnashing of teeth among the families and friends of the Italian prisoners, and whoever the families and riends of the Italian sailors may be there is, or will be, great thanksgiving, and slight though it be, there is consolation in the fact that the gojd deed has tne .advantage cf the bad one by four sacred lives. |
