ITALIAN CUTTHROATS.
The tragedy .encted at New Orleans j
last .Saturday was the natural outcome
of the reign of murderous outlawry that
has so long infented the city at the
mouth of the Mississippi. On the loth
of last Octo1er Chief of Police Hennessy
was shot to pieces near the threshold of
his own home. The crime was directly
traced to a secret band of murderous
Italian cut-throats, known as the Mafia.
. The Mafia, was originally an Italian
political society which inculcated the
duty of getting rid of objectionable per
sons by assassination. Driven from its
native homo in the south of Italy, by
the vigor of the Italian government, it
formed a domicile in a laud that all too
readily opens her gates to receive a class
of persons who leave their country for
their country's good. Chief Hennessy
had simply done his duty. He had
pried into the pecret workings of these
professional assassins, and for this he
must die. Prom the moment of his
death evidence legan to accumulate that
it was the infamous work of the Mafia.
A number of men were arrested and
placed on trial. The trial lasted twenty
live days. The crime was proved home
to the conspirators, but there was the
fullest evidence that the jury had been
tampered with and justice failed. Five
weary months had passed from the time
of the murder. The citizens had endur
ed the 'delay with sullen impatience;
but the ' day of vengence came and
thousands of the formest men of New
Orleans rose up as one man, last Satur
day, broke into the jail where the men
were still confined and filled eleven of
these Italian cutthroats full of go'od
American lead.
. It was the only remedy for a disease
so violent. The courts that had been
established to protect the people and
avenge a b-ioken law lxad failed. The
trial was a travesty of justice. One of
two things remained. The foreign cut
throats must continue' with accelerated
force to terrorize society, or society must
rise in its might and annihilate the
guilty among them. . It as a remedy not
to be lightly used. It is never fitting
excepting as a last extremity ; but the
law of God is a law of righteousness.
"Whose shedatli man's blood by man
shall his blood be shed, and the land
shall not le purged from blood except
by the blood of him that shed it.". Sel
v ..iloin has a similar pieceof work been bet
iii' done. No man suffered the extreme
; poCalty who did not richly deserve it.
DepJoable as was the necessity that
demand. it, the deed will create a
.. heaitluer' moral atmosphere. It will
teachiwiiafr . foreign cutthroats are left,
that tliHwiin.trJ' is not bi2 enough to
hold then ant ' their murderous socie
ties. Whatever ik ,en may think who are
removed from t e scme Df action
the avenging of . ilk e blood of Chief
Hennessy has met the- approval of the
v.best men in New Orlexriv The Cotton
'exchange has unanmowfi endorsed it
by a set of resolutions. TfcJi nroduce ex"

Y
HOW THE " VENDETTA," SHOULD
BE USED.
It makes one's blood bolt to read the
following from an editorial in Le Cod
Italia, an Italian paper published in the
York. The writer refers to
the recent tragedy in New Orleans :
Without words we want satisfaction in
tC.11 nn1 fW-kfYl nW Tf the minister at
iUU V'.I , . .
w.ckinotnn hna not at this hour matte
liis word good, 1,000,000 of the Italians
wnidinir in the United States will know
how to do. If the massacre that we
i . f.ucml in thin free reoublic 18
unn-wi tr, cm linnnnished we will ae-
auunw w 1 . . ,
n.,nna it aa in assassination. uur
word is quickly pledged. We never re
pent. Vendetta.'
The newspaper invites to a mass meet
ing whoever has a heart that beats in
his bosom, and the article continues :
In this moment of persecution through
i:..;. nrroth arte hat.e. we OUSht to
Ty,. rtmt rn are all Italians, and
as such we invite El Progresto and El
Colombo to unite witn us at a grauu
mass meeting. Colleagues, be quick to
join hands, as we are ready as allies
with you. In this supreme hour of our
vindication let us be united in the name
of God. , Death, to the assassins. ,
And thus another Italian, whose edu
tion and social standing should place
him on a higher plane, would come to
the defense of his murderous country
men, and invoke the sacred name of God
in connection with, another vendetta.
Uncle Sam has borne with wonderous
patience the villanous pranks of these
red-handed irascals, and it will be a good
day for this country when he takes by
the ear such men as the editor of Le Cod
Italia and all his sympathizing com
patriots, and leading them to the edge of
the Atlantic and dumps the whole infer
nal outfit into it. Italians are welcome
here if they are willing to conform to the
common decencies of social and. national
life but we want none of that class
which the vigor of the present govern
ment has driven from Italy, and which
has clothed with horror the names of
the Vendetta and Mafia.
Heath ofL'ncle .Tolinny Powell.
Death has again claimed one of Crook
county's best and most honored citizens.
John fowell died at his home, halt a
mile west of Prineville. Sunday night,
after an illness of only a few days with
heart disease.
Mr. Powell was the eldest eon of Rev.
Joab Powell, well known to .all early
Oregonians, and was born in Clayborn
countv, Tenn., Julv 28, 1818. At the
age of eight years he moved to Jackson
county, Mo., where he resided until 1852,
when he immigrated to Oregon, settling
in Linn county. In the fall of 1870 he
moved to this county, locating upon the
place west of town which has been his
home until the present time. On March
15, 1828 he was married to Miss Emilv
York and the fruits of this union were
eight sons and three daughters, of wbom
three sons ana two daughters survive.
The funeral took place Tuesdav fore
noon from the Union church, conducted
by Elder Holman assisted by Rev.
Deweese.
Uuring all his life of nearly 7a years
Mr. Powell had conducted himself so as
to command the respect and love of all
who knew him, and we doubt if there is
one living todav who can say that John
Powell ever did him a wrong, or who
holds a feeling of enmitv towards the
dead. He had lived a long and useful
life, but has gone hence-to receive the
reward of the just and righteous'.
Iertiiient Inquiries from a Wamtc
Philosopher.
Wamic, Oregon, Morch 10, 1891.
Editor Dalles Chronicle : What is
the cause for taxes being twenty-five
mill on the dollar in Wasco county this
last year, as there is a great deal of in
quiry throughout the farming com-
munitv to know? What is the reason of
the people of Wasco county being taxed
so high these last few vears? We cannot
see that the county court has been ex
pending money on public improvements
in Wasco county, that would justify
tax levy of twenty-five mills on the dollar
and at the same time a juryman cannot,
without some trouble, dispose ,of his
county script at a discount to get money
to pay for his board while attending
court as a juryman.
Mr. Editor, a great portion of the
farmers of this part of the county have
come to the conclusion that there should
be a little more economy used in the ad
ministration of county affairs, and less
extravagance amongst county officers
and fewer pets around the court house.
The old leaders may feel secure in their
position now in this county.
But if the signs of the times portend
anything the next election in Wasco
county there will be a political killing
among the old political parties, as it is
the only show to get relief.
Now Mr. Editor I do not belong to the
alliance, but you know that I do belong
to an organization that is non-partisan
in politics but believes in political, econ
omy in all branches of our government.
