In commenting upon the excellent ■working of the McKinley bill the Utioa Herald says:"From the south, whose every democratic rep resentative and senator opposed and obstructed the passing of the Mc- Kinley bill, the reports ot new in dustries formed fully equal those of other section. Coal and coke •works, tin mining, rolling mills, hardware, stove, electrical machin cry nn<l other iud vis tries, repio** senting capital to the amount of twelve to fifteen millions of dollars, have been instituted since the j.iinci ple of protection was reaffirmed bj the nation. The new doors to em ployment of American laborer open ed by the tariff legislation of the fifty-first congress already number into the thousands. And only a be ginning has beeit made. The op posing mass of free trade opposi ti .u has hardly been overcome. The u ibelieviug and the ignorant, who were frigh'ened bj the Democratic g ire of' High prices,' and of 'rob ber tariff" 1 oppression, are just learn ing that their credulity was played upon. Presently the lull* applica tion of the McKinley law will be felt; the sugar schedule will be in force; agricultural productions will find the home market strengthened by the enlarged manufacturing force; reciprocity with South America will quicken trade, through the aid congress has extended to our merchant marine. The answer to free trade sophistries and false hood was prefaced In the struggle which gave the nation the McKinley law. The people are reading it on the swelling wave of prosperity. They will know the true from the ialse by 1892." m.AIN TAKES ACTION. lie OemnnilH frotection for the lial- IHII Nub Jurist in New l»rh!lll«. WASHINGTON, March 15. Speculation is rife in official cir cles as to what will be the outcome of the lynching of the Italians at New Orleans on Saturday. Secre tary Blaine's attention has been called to the matter by Baron Fava, the Italian Minister, and he at ©nee sent the following telegram to Gov ernor Nichols, of Louisiana: "I has been represented to the President by the Minister of Italy, accredited to this government, that among the victims of the deplorable massacre which took place in the city of New Orleans yesterday were three or move subjects of the King ot Italy. Our treaty with that friendly government, which under the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, guarantees to the Italian subjects domiciled in.the United States, the most constant protection a>td security for their persons and property,' making them amenable on the same basis as our own citizen to the laws of the United States and the several States in their due and ordinary administration. ••The President deeply regrets that the citizens of New Orleans should have so disparaged the purity and adequacy of their own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the p«s sionate judgment of a mob a ques tion that should have been adjuged ftispnssionatuly and by settled rules of law. The government of the lluiled Slates must give to the sub jects of friendly powers that security which it demands tor cur own citi" zena when temporarily under a foreign jurisdiction. It is the hope of the President that you will co oj)crate with him in maintaining the obligations of the United States toward Italian subjects who may lie within the perils of the present ex citement, that furtjier bloodshed and violence may be prevented, and that all the offenders against the law maj* be promptly brought to justice." Neither Baron Fava or Secretary Blaine will express any opinion, and Baron Fava peremptorily refuses to talk upon the subject at all. The editor of H Progreaso. the leading Italian paper in New York, to-day sent to the Italian Minister marked copies of bis paper together with a fiery letter in which he called upon Baron Fava as the representative of the Italian Government to take speedy methods to avenge the wrong done his countrymen. The letter was shown to some of the friends of the Minister and later to Secretary Blaine. In it the writer reiterates his statements printed in his paper and demands that the Minister shall immediately call for some satisfac tion, aither in the arrest and con viction of Parkerson and Wycliffe, or indemnity for the families. The editor claims that the men had been tried by and American jury and ac quitted, consequently they were un der the protection of the American Government and should have been guarded against the attack. It is learned here to-night that beyond submitting this letter to the Secre tary of State, Baron Fava will do nothing in the matter until he re ceives reply to the. telegram he sent to the Italian Consul at New Or leans; asking for a detailed account of the whole affair, together with a certified copj of the jury poll. It is thought here that this de plorable affair is far from being set tled, and that Baron Fava will carry his case to the. utmost extremity. Should this be done there is no doubt about an indemnity being paid, and lor this there is a pre cedent in the case of the Chinamen who were killed in the West, and for which the Fiftieth Congress ap propriated $250,000 indemnity. The Italian legation have asked that all papers containing an account of the trouble shuil be sent to them. It is the purpose of the Minister to m.til the papers to the home govern ment together jwith aj letter on _ the subject.—£x. DUSIIOIIE ITEMS.

FACAHACUS. A MURDER OF THE WAR. AItRKST OF A IRAN AFTER TWENTY-* EVEN YEARS. Elian Young, of Ijiizenie Fnttniy, Taken Into Dii«ti>dy to Annvrr for the Killing of Lieutenant Robiitfton of the 4rni|\ STORY OF THE CHIME OF THE FIRMING CISEEK COKFEDEKA'Y. TTii.kes-Barre, March 17. Elias Young, residing in Jackson township, was brought here this afternoon charged with killing Lieu tenant J. Stewart Robinson, in Au gust 1861. The evidence against him was sufficient to warrant iiis ar rest, and after the hearing he was committed to the county prison to answer to the charge of murder. The crime with which Young is charged was the shooting of Lieu tenant Robinson on the night of August 3, This was during the war. When a number of men it: the locality of Sugar Loaf, Benton, Fishing Creek and other townships of Columbia county failed to report, Solomon Taylor a United States of ficer, called upon Robinson and several others to assist him in cap turing the deserters, as those who failed to report were regarded. About midnight of August 3rd, a very dark night, they came upon a party of three, who were always supposed to be, and as now appears were, Elias Young, Thomas Smith and Miner Smith. Robinson commanded them to halt, whereupon they fired. Robin son was wounded. He was sub sequently removed to the home of A. -N. Harvey, in Huntingdon town ship, where be died. Miner Smith has since died, and yesterday Thom as Smith, who was one of the party who aidetl in the shooting, came to this city and to District Attorney Darte told who was in the parly, and said also that they all fired. The prisoner claims that he is in nocent, and was out courting a girl the night the shooting was done. At the time the murder was com mitted it was promptly reported to the Government. A squad of sol diers were at once rent to the lo cality where they made a number of arrests, but were unable to appre hend the murderers of Robinson. The murdered Lieutenant was a brother of Robert D. Robinson, the present Sheriff of Luzerne county. —Ex. SOXESTO WN ITEMS. MR.
