1t strikes us that one moral TO be derived
rom the case of the Boston foruer, Winslow,
is the need OF urging the immediate establish
ment of extradition treaties between countries
where they do not now exist. AS they have
heen found to work well, why should any ma
ton refuse 10 make them? Does any mutton
desire 20 turn itself into the shield for crimi-
nals-a general rece wing ship for forgers and
murderers 1t appears that Wnsow found
out from a distinguished lawyer in what coun-
iries forger woui not he liable to arrest I'M
der any treaty, and engaged his passage
cordngly. Warned BY this example, Holland
should consent to making an extradtion
treaty, both for her sake and ours Mean
while application has been made TO the minis
ter of Holland at Washington TO deliver the
fugitive to our government as special favor
Why should not this lie granted The right
TO do SO exists independently of treaty, and
treaties only define aud mutually agree on
conditions for. Invariably giving up negatives
from justice There would be no reason or
sense in a refusal 10 give up Wiuslow, who is
said to have a large sha;e Of his ill-sotten
gains with him.

The trial of Wn. Mckee, editor of the ST.

States Court in that city, for completely in

night by n verdict of guilty. The trial
Mckee was perhaps the most important of any
Of the trials in these cases that have preceded IT,
lie was regarded as the central figure of the
st Louis ring by reason of his inaue nee with
the politicians of the West, but his gnilt was
far less clear, and he retained TO the last the
confidence of host of prominent aud honor
ed citizens of st. LOUIS The testimony upon
which he was convicted was that of several
''co-conspirators," one of whom stated that
he had paid money to Mckee for the ring :;
another that money was paid to Mckee in his
presence, and others that they had under
stood that Mckee was in the ring and that
money was paid him. The tlfort of the de-
Tense TO impair the evidence Of the witnesses
of the government because they were them
selves confessedly guilty proved Ineffective

law of Congress was admissible The verdict
was not generally anticipated. Even at the

Mr.. Blaine Stands up for Personal
Rights.

In the long past there was q tribe
of Greeks that were so communlshc
and free love in their tendency that
they abolished all private laws, and
held everything in common, from the
women to the things on the table
To have anything privately was an
oftanse against the State. Even the
babies, when born, were subject to
public inspection, and if any had the
misfortune to have delicate or
weakly appearance, it was strangled,
put out of the way, as not a tit being
to live.
While the Confederate branch Of
the Congress of the United States
has not declared in favor of the aboli-
ton OF private rights and in favor
of free love and the execution of
delicate children, it has kept or
ganized committees on pay all
winter, with no higher object in
view, as their action proves, than
the examination Of the private
business affairs of prominent indl-
yidual members of the Republican
party. Nothing has been sacred
from the touch of these ex-rebels and
rebel sympathizers and communists.
They recognize no private rights OF
men whom they choose to investigate.
One of the men against whom they
have displayed more bitterness than
any other is Mr. Blaine. His public
affairs have not only been ransacked
through and through, but they have
within the past week made demand
for private papers and letters that
have no bearing whatever on public
affairs. No public inquiry had been
made Of Mr.. Blaine that was neglect
ed or set aside. Everything was
thrown open to to the Committee for
its fullest investigation. Finding
nothing of any Importance, the van
dals demand private papers and cor
respondence running far back into
his past life. Mr.. Blaine said; Sen
tlemen, have no private papers and
l have no correspondence that L am
ashamed to have the world look on !;
but in this demand you violate fun
damental principle of individual pri-
vacy guaranteed to every man IN the
Republic. 1 cannot recognize your
violation of that principle, but l will
take the papers to Congress and read
them from my place in that body,
and the whole world may learn their
contents"
As we close our columns, de-
spatches say that Mr.. Blaine has vim
dicated himself before Congress, com
pletely. He has long since been one
of the champions of the principle OF
the equality of all men before the
law, and his last position has crowned
him as the champion Of sacred indi-
vidrIal rights.

BRIGHAM Young's Reason for
Leaving Salt Lake Valley

Inat Brigham Young is preparing to
leave Utah has been reported latterly.
he gives Is hrs reason. that Salt Lake
Valley is destined to food from Salt
Lake. His prophecy is writer thus in
the San Francisco Chronicle:
1t is we'll known that for the pest
twelve months the grand project for
transferring the Mormon population to
New Mexico has been under copadera-
ton by Brigham aud bis emissaries
Governor Axtell, formerly Of Utah,
but now Governor of New Mexico, has
for months been quietly working with
this end IN view, paving the way for a
new Mormon empire. The world has
been puzzled to know why the Latter
Day Saints, after working for more than
quarter Of century to build up Zion
in Utah, should be willing to abandon
all the magnificent improvements Of the
great Salt Lake valley aud become once
more pioneers Of the wilderness. But
the melting cause Is now as palpable as
it is inevitable and irresistible. The
great Prophet has discovered why the
I great Sal, Lake bas been rising ct the
) rate OF rrslye -iaah@es--yery twelve
moniu I'D many years. There is, as is
:, we'll knsysn, no surface outlet to the
waters of Salt Lake, although several
I streams If considerable volume are con-
staas@ discharging their waters into
the lake. II the opinion Of all scien-
s ,isc explorers Of this inland saline sea
: there has existed a subtefiisaassan outlet.
through which its surplus waters have
flowed. But Brigham's eye has dis
I covered that this outlet has been grad
ually choking up by preeipitatiOns OF
D vast quantities of chloride Of sodium,
e dapmiDg the wsiers of the Lake as well
as the future hopes Of Mormondom. Ii
: is only question of time when this
sub.erranean waste gate shall be com
, pletely closed, and then single spring
: food N all the tributary streams will
{ cause the lake TO overflow its bounds
snd srbmerge the entire Salt Lake val
, leg. This result being inevitable, Brig
! ham Is more than anxious to flee from
this second deluge before the engulf-
,uent and ruin of the new city of Zion.
He prefers to slide quietly away to New
Mexico, leaving the hated Gentiles,
} who have so unceremoniously invaded
! his kingdom, to enjoy the great salt
water bath SO soon to be provided for
; their accommodation In the interests
: of humanity, however, and as timely
warning against an impending disaster,
, we feel constrained to divulge the true
. reason for the contemplated Mormon
exodus from Utah.
