ExToRTION. hundred and seventy
thousand dollars were obtained from the peo-
pie Of this city in the last year, on false pre-
fences, by six city railroad companies. This
tremendous extOrtion had no justification, no
right In It, and is not different from highway
robbery except In the fact that it seems impos-
~Slble TO punish it. Nomipally the companies
collect their revenue tax, but In doing it they
collect from the people three hundred and
seventy thousand dollars in excess of the tax.
Are not the people taxed enough already that
these companies should impose such an addi-
tiOnal burden?

II Is now some months since James Hag-
gcrty was appointed United States Consul vt
the city of Glasgow, Scotland. There were
many who at tho time thought the appoint
ment mistake. IL was we'll known to many
that Haggerty had at ono time been an active
agent of the Fenian organization in this city
To appoint such a man to 30 important u posi-
ton az that of United States Consul In such q
city as Glasgow, II the government at Wash
lngton were not ignorant of the mans antece-
dents, could only be regarded Al wsnton
insult to the British government and people
II was never, however, for moment believed
but that the United States government acted
in ignorance. Mr.. Haggerty has not found
matters quite to his taste since his arrival in
Glasgow. The feeling against him has been
intense and general In consequences Of this
feeling the British government found II neces-
sary to inquire into the antecedents of Tho
man end we now learn from cable despatch
that said government has refused to recognise
Mr.. Haggerty in the capacity of Consul Mr..
Haggerty will return to New York sadder,
but, lot us hope, wiser man. lie ought to
have had more sense than to accept any such
appointment.

Tho British GOyefnment aud Its Subjects
Abroad.


Tho British Governmsnt aud Its Subjects
Abroad.
BY recent cable dispatches we learn that
the treatment Of certain British subjects, held
captive and otherwise supposed to be badly
used by President Lopez, In Paraguay, was
descanted upon by the English Under Score
tsry for Foreign Affairs. in the House of Com
mons. The Secretary stated that the last &C
count of the condition of the captives came
from some American naval officers. 1t is
curious to notice how much official Information
reaches the British government from American
souroes-such, for instance, as that little cpl
sode of the Abyssinian war. But that is not
the point to which we, mean to refer just now
1t is this-that the British government never
loses sight Of its subjects wherever they may
60 that 1t never fails to look after their well
fare and to extend to them protection as far as it
can. Aud we must admit that it generally
carries its point in this respect. As far as the
Englishmen In Paraguay upon whom Lopez
has laid his hand are concerned, they may or
may not deserve the restraint imposed upon
them. They are said to be number of scions
Of some noble English houses, who have, as a
matter of adventure, thrown themselves into
the turmoil of this Paraguayan war, and are
found fighting occasionally on one side or the
other-with the allie, to-day and with the i'm
perialists tomorrow. If this be so Lopez
may not be much to blame In putting them in
safe keeping. But the British government, In
thus investigating the circumstances and Do
caring its intention to protect its subjects, If
any wrong be done them, affords striking
contrast to the policy Of our government With
reference to our citizens in Cuba and else
where. 1t presents an example which our adj
ministraton might follow, we think, without
sacrificing Its dignity or conflicting with the
supposed consistency of our much mlsunder-
stood neutrality laws England still knows
how to protect its citizens abroad, whether they
be right or wrong. We seem to have lost or
forgotten the inspiration of 1912, which de-
manded that American citizens should be re-
stored to their rights, no matter what foreign
flag covered them or what sovereignty claimed
their allegiance.
