The Italian newspapers for the last week have been and are still full of a deplorable event which took place on Sunday last in Rome, Italy, outside Porta Cavalleggieri. One row and one case of manslaughter more in the suburbs of an Italian city would hardly be worth mentioning, but in this case the city in which it took place happens to be the capital of Italy and of Catholicism also, the murderers Italian National Guards, and the victims Pontifical Gendarmes, and these circumstances alone are sufficient to make an event of it. It is but natural that the moderate liberal press should strive to diminish the importance of the whole fact and give it the proportions of a common street row.
