Yerliy, tbe recklessness of tome people ii beyond comprehension. After the United States Marshal in all the dignity of hit offi cial potltion had condescended to capture the Chilean insurgent vessel Itata, and had plaoeJ his deputy on hoard, tbe vessel de cided not to stay captured. Without to much as saving, "By your leave," she got up steam and made herself scarce. This is a simple case of catching a Tartar. As a display of recklessness it stands unique, though ignorance may 'bo to blame. Proba bly the Chilean captain thought the United Statu so busy with Italy that a Deputy lir.rshal would not be missed. If he did, ho is mistaken. Our Deputy Marshals are too precious to be carried away by pirates, and we will have Mr. Spencer back safe and sound if we have to use up three tons of super-calendered paper in diplomatic notes. Of course, we cannot demand any indem nity for the outrage. The Chilean insurg ents are not able to cay any, and all we can expect is an apology and Mr. Spencer. But we must have the Marshal, even if we don't get the apology. When we ask for him be will be forthcoming, without doubt, for his captors w ill take good care of him. They know that if he Is harmed Uncle Sam will merely stroll down along the west coast of South America and kick Chile into the Pacific Ocean. This would stop the highly interesting revolution now going on in that country, and spoil the Chileans' national pleasure. Bather than have their revolution stopped, the insurgents will re turn Mr. Spencer. A DECLARATION FKOSI ITALY. The comment of an Italian newspaper on the finding of tbe New Orleans grand jury is interesting, and particularly so because it contains the first decided avowal of what this country may expect if any of its citi zens get murdered in Europe. Sometime ago The Dispatch said that if the action of the mob was lormally upheld, all guar antee for the safety of Americans on the teui Continent was destroyed as well as any hope of recovering damages from tbe Government under which they might be harmed. The fact that the paper making the declaration is an opposition organ docs not detract from the value of the statement, ai it but reflects the generally accepted idea in Europe to day. The Idea is that If the United States cannot protect Kuropeans, no protection is owed to citizens of this country who may be in Europe. This is the inevitable oulcomo of the whole affair, and while something will un doubtedly be done to tnend matters in time, for the present they seem to be In very bad shape. One thing Is certain: Buoli dxprrwlous as tli me quoted this morning are notllkoly to tnerense Yankee travel In Italy, 'and lliopenpteuf that peninsula may thereby minx many stray dollars. a vnnoltv rou j iiTTiadii:. TLb unity ot man mid wife before the law Las been declared u variable quantity by a 1'hlUdeljihln Judge. The plaintiff In ft curtain ogee had put hi a elalm fur witness U for Ills wife, but the defendant ebjeoted, claiming that man And wife are one, and that the wife should not be paid for testify lng In her husband's behalf, The Judge decided thai u mau's wife Is entitled to witness fees when she Is a material witness in his suit; that tbe law regards the unity of a couple as an "obsolete legal (lotion," and that they are two in "substantial matters." This decision is another step forward in the emancipation of women. It recognizes that a wife is separato and distinct from her husband, giving her, as it does, a legal entity hitherto unpossessed. It is directly in line with modern enactments on the subject, and undoubtedly the new century will find her on a level with the being who was once denominated her lord and master. This is only the inevitable working of justice, and women one little to the men for the gradual filing away of their shackles. The fact that the judge rendering this decision only presides over a minor court does cot rob the ruling of any real value. If the dispute was carried higher there is no doubt but that the decision would be sus tained. Th: fair sez is to be congratulated on having won, without effort, a great vic tory. THAT NEBRASKA MUDDLE. The decision of the Supreme Court of JjTcbrssfca ihat James E. Boyd is an alien, and ineligible to any office within tbe gift ci tbe people, leaves matters in that State apparently in a very ugly tangle. As Mayor cf Omaha be approved acts bonding that city in large sums, and as Governor he signed numerous bills of the recent Legis lature, chief among which were appropria tions f $159 003 for drouth sufferers, and tCO.COO tor tup World's Fair. He also vetoJ the mczimutn freight rate bill. Political differences arc at the bottom of the whole trouble, but whichever way the dis pute may be settled, it would seem that Mr. Boyd is culpable in not having provided himszlf vit!i citizenship papers. Mr. Boyd is quite right in deciding to carry tbe esse to the Federal Supreme Court, thoagh just why he expects- that body to reverse lUo finding of the State tribunal is not clear. The evidence pre sented to the latter is supposedly conclusive, and the only thing on which tbe former can base a reversal is the appellant's military service, which may be held to give him citizenship without the formality of taking out papers. Bnt, for the credit oi Kebraika ' and the city of Omaha, an Immediate ap-, peal should bo taken. c'Ss I &y0XhK tttU rwatlai a chaaw tfat tln,aatfj ten will not be In inch bad shape after alt, particularly with regard to Omaha. If the highest court decides against Mr. Boyd It tuny declare hit actiai Mayor legal because' they were not questioned at the (ime. This it only a possibility, but by no meteia very remote one. II o was elected to and aeeepted the office In good faith, and much ootUy litigation will be avoided if such view la taken. Tlili would alio seem to bo the most sensible view, ai most ol Ills aetloni m Mayor cannot possibly be undone.

A KI'JiKtJH lit AN KXl'KllT. The ipeseli delivered fa London by Sir JineiKilioii,'reiildeiit ofllis Iron And Hleil Innlltule, wm )mr!leulsily flatlerliiff lu ill reference to (lie United fiulei, though ItWRi iAiiietliing Ipm limn an actual ilftleuieut of fret, Tim don not reflect on the veracity ofilie gentleman, but only eniiiluiliii liu loyalty ai n Ilrlton, lie mid tint, whether proteolinn or free trade carried the day, tho United States were bound to become great minufeotureri of Iron and ileel, Ines much ai tills oountry ii already a crest manufacturer of iron and steel, it would not have beeu stretching the truth any to say that it is bound to become the greatest manufacturer of both after having admitted, as he did, its boundless resources, It it not necessary to discuss bow benefits to be derived from these boundless resources conld be nullified by free trade. That par ticular subject has been so thoroughly venti lated that any further reference to it is superfluous. But there is one part of his re marks that deserves some attention. He warned both producers and workiugmen in England to pause in their demands in view of tbe illimitable resources of the United States. This is holding a club over both producers and workingmen who are now heavily haudicapped, and shows that iron and steel can be pro duced cheaper in this country under a protective tariff than they can be in England under free trade. If not, there was no necessity for Sir James Kitson's warning. His reference to tbe economy in English methods of manufacture contains nothing new to the people of this country. 'Tbe wonder .of the members of the Iron and Steel Institnte, when on their visit here, found frequent expression when they saw the wasteful habits of our manufacturers. But, as was pointed out at the time, the waste in many case! was only discernible when English and, American method' were contrasted and England's source of supply compared with that of America. Taken as a whole,, the speech shows that the memor able visit was not without its effects, and that this country had nothing to lose by treating the visitors well. THAT PECULIAR GRIP. The statement that the grip in its most violent form has broken out in London hospitals illustrates a striking peculiarity of the malady. About the last place in the world it would be expected to visit is a metropolitan hospital, but seemingly its record for doing unexpected things is to be kept up. During its recent stay in thif city it broke alt tbe rules that are supposed to apply to disease, but its performance in tbe English capital limply caps the climax. Its appearance In the London hospitals also upsets two theories of its character, or rather origin. As is well known, some med ical scientists have declared it to be earned by microbes in the air, while others have said it is caused by "star dust" falling from other planets onto this. Of tbeie theories, the former seems to be tbe more sensible, but both are overthrown by the present out break. Tho London hospitals are among tbf finest It the world, and every ap pliance and idea that can add to their efficacy has been adopted for uio in them. Among these appliances and Ideal Is one for tbe disinfection of air, yet tbe grip seemi to flourish in aoliernloally pure atmosphere ai well ai It doee under op. poslte conditions, if it Is eiuted by either tniorobes or "itsr-duit," it undoubtedly oould not exist In the pure ulr of a great lioipltil, Thli feot way oauie a rejection of both theories, but unfortunately the dli one refuiee to be thrown aside io eailly. kKGTIONAI. 801100b IIOCWN, The agitation in lorue of the Southern fltntei for school beoki more diitlnotlrely Southern in sbaraoter Ii attracting critlelim, But the feeling underlying tbe agitation Imi either been mliundentood or Ignored. It Ii said that exaotly how h Southern treatise on spelling, or writing, or arithmetic, or algebra, or geometry, or physics, or geogra phy, can be made to differ from a Northern treatise on any of tbesa subjects, is some thing rather difficult to explain. It dif ficult to explain, or would be, if it needed explanation. But it does not. Tbe objec tion is not to treatises on any of these sub jects. The Southern people are quite will ing that tbeir children should be taught any of the studies mentioned from exactly tbe same text books as are Northern children. But there is oce study that some of tbe Southern people would like to have taught as they believe it should be. This study is history. A natural desire on the part of those who took part as Con federates in the late unpleasantness, to make as good an appearance as possible in the eyes of their children and children's chil dren, requires that the Rebellion and the causes which led up to it should be treated somewhat differently than tbey are in school histories written and printed in tbe North. It is not that Northern school histories do injustice to tbe Lost Cause. They do not. It is only that they are not sufficiently lenient with the exploded doctrines of human alavery, State's rights, etc, from an ex-secetsionut standpoint. The South, or rather tbe progressive part of it, has, of course, almost forgotten that such doctrines ever existed. In some parts ot that section,' however, these doctrines, while perforce abandoned, are reverenced as things that should be, and, bnt for the fortunes of war, would have been. These parts of the South want tectional school books. They will get tbcm If they write and print them themselves, hut to do so would be going to unnecessary expense. The commercial spirit has entered the breasts of the people on the other side of Mason & Dixon's line, and tbey are becom ing too wise to cater to a rapidly dying sen timent. Tbe few enthusiasts agitating tbe matter are working without possibility of reward.

The English bop crop is In a precarious condition, and England will probably have to look to the Welt for ber yeast. Deciding a tie contest for city treasurer by running a foot race is an Indiana idea. It has tbe benefit of being unique, but Is open to tbe objection of showing how quickly the victor could decamp with the funds It he felt so disposed. The legislators who talked anti-discrimination to death should be voted to death at the proper time. The Bussian authorities having suddenly suspended the expulsion of Hebrews from Moscow, tbe Rothschilds' threat to tighten tbeir purse strings will now be forgotten and forgiven by the Czar.

Pittsbnrg nnd Italy, A ooos deal or Plttsbnrg's. money will be kept out of Italy if tbe rocky experience of Mr. Jacaues in Florence is to be Included among the Incident of travel In tbe sunny land ot the Cxjars. It is somewhat singular that tbe first ontbreak ot anti-American feeling should have occurred in tbe district where Mr. Long is to protect Uncle Sam's Interests in tbe near future. Florence is one of tbe cities which every American making the grand tour of Europe is carefnl to visit, ana there is an American colony there of respectable propor tions Including a number ot artists in perma nent habitations. During the early part of tbe summer and again in tbe late fall and winter there are usually hundreds ot Amer icans at tbe hotel, and it is quite certain that the dollars they drop cut a very large figure in ' tbe receipts of tbe stores and hostelrles. The Consulate at Florence Is vacant at present and it is to be presumed that the departure of Mr. Long for Italy will be hastened by the recent events, unless, of course, a more serious breach of tbe friendly relations between the two countries should occur. Pittsburgers in plenty are always to be found among the tourists in Italr, and at least three large partiesbave been made up to go there this summer, thongh their plans may be changed now. It will mean a very serious loss of revonue for Italy If Amer ican travelers avoid that country, but not much ot a saving to American pockotbooks, for tbe polite Ganl and tbe hospitable Teuton to say nothing of John Bull, and other old world sbarps will see to it tbat Cousin Jonathan and all bis relations have full opportunity to spend every dollar that crosses the Atlantic Mr. Davis a Fixture AlvikJosltn Davis has come to Pitts burg to stay, and bis faco and figure, already tolerably familiar in these parts, will be seen downtown a good deal this summer.

The Madison Square Company, at the Du quesno Theater last evening, gave another charming bill, composed of the one-act comedy "One Touch of Mature" with "Sunlight and Bhadow" as the pttee de rttistance. In tbe first play Mr. Stoddart brought out tne char acter of the broken old man seeking and find ing his lust dau.bter, with very effective pathos. In '"Sunlight and Shadow," a drama of domestlo cbaracter.lt worked out wltb delicate and artistic shading an exceedingly touching and quietly impressive finale. While the entire rendition was marked by the perfection in all tbe parts tbat is characteristic of this company, especial notice Is duo to the realization by Mr. Bell of tbo 'sentiment tbat pervades and in spires tbe play. Wblle the character of Georgt Addis Is not what would generally be consid ered tbe hero of tbe play, Mr. Bell makes It strike tbe keynote of tbe drama by his quiet, honest impersonation. Of course Miss Harri son and Miss Miller, and Barrymore, Robinson and Holland, contributed to tbe artistla suc cess of tbe play. To-night "Saints and Sinners" will be repeated. , President or Penman.

Cotters That Were Identified. She Identified a number of letters addressed to ber from Jones as "My dear, street, little duckle," and signed by him as "Your darling tlddledy wink." She also produced a ring lond enough to have been heard on the South side, and said it bound tbe compact. If tbat article had been a nail keg, there would have been need of no further proof. A number of witnesses were beard in ber bebalf, one of whom said Jones had told him "Annie was a daisy." That closed the plain tiffs side, and the defendant 'went on tbe stand and swore "so" to Annie's "yes" all through, excepting that he acknowledged tbe engagement corn, which he said he broke because "Annie bad become too fly." She had been caught giving "bis honey" to two fellows named Mer cer and Robertson and he "shook ber." His witnesses testified to his previous good char acter, and that this was the first time they had ever known him to get caucht up in a "girl racket," and his fight was ended. . The attor neys spoke long, violently and noisily, the Judge charged like a herd of buffalo on a stampede, and the jury retired and "chucked dice" until they concluded that by all the rnles ot "crap" the plaintiff was entitled to 13,000 by way of a verdict.
