The second son of King Oscar of Sweden
has arrived in Philadelphia Three years
ago the King, in an interview with CORE
spondent of the HERALD, expressed his
warmest interest in the Centennial Exhibi-
ton, and, regretting he could not visit it
himself, promised to send his son. This
Prince is the second son of His Majesty and
is in his seventeenth year. Like his father
his profession will be the navy The visit
not be passed without notice. The ruler of
Sweden and Norway has always been warm
friend Of our country. No foreign ruler
has shown deeper interest in our Exhibi-
ton than King Oscar. The display from
his kingdom is one of the most attractive in
Sweden and Norway some Of our best citi-
zens. Wherever throughout the West the
question of emigration is discussed the uni
versal opinion is that no settlers are SO de-
sirnble as the Swede and Norwegian. They
fall into the duties of citizenship readily
ton. Any honor we pay to the son of King
Oscar is tribute to the unbroken friend
ship which has always existed between
Sweden and the United States, to the high
rank of the King as a man and sovereign,
and to our Scandinavian fellow citizens, who
will rejoice in the coming Of one who may
be said to be the representative of their
Fatherland. We honored the Prince of
Wales and the Gran Duke Alexis with un-
usual ceremony. We were anxious to do the
same with Dom Pedro, had he not waived
aside our courtesies. Sweden is rs close to
us AZ Russia, England and Brazil, and now
that Prince of Sweden is our guest let us
hasten to honor him, and through him the
intelligent, brave and high-minded people
he represents.

was taken, or meant to be taken, there was
no rule regulating the result of ballots
neither the two-thirds rule nor the majority
rule nor any rule whatever. 1t is therefore
strictly and incontestably true that no bal
lot was ever taken in any democratic
national convention except under the
two-thirds rule In all national conventions
of the party previous to 1910, and in all con-
ventions subsequent to 1910. the two-thirds
rule has been in force, and no rule of any
kind was adopted in that year because there
was no balloting for candidates. This uni
form usage of the party since it began to
hold national conventions in 1881 is not
likely to be broken ct ST. Louis in favor of
any candidate.
Usage apart, there Is great deal to be
said against the rule and some things in its
favor. 1t was very ably discussed in the
Convention of 1874 in long and impas-
stoned debate, the weight of argument being
against the rule but the preponderance of
votes in its favor. 1t was denounced by Mr..
Van Buren's friends as fundamentals, as
enabling the minority to defeat the choice
of the majority, and as subversive Of
the only reasonable principle on which q
body of assembled men can transact bust
ness together. On the other side the speak
ers made a great flourish about the estab-
lished usages of the party, and appealed
more to the prejudices than the reason of
the Convention. The only real argument
for the rule in that inhammatory debate was
founded on a recognition of the majority
principle. 1t was asserted that without
some such precaution minority of the
party might select its candidates and thrust
them on the acceptance of the majority. The
States where the party has no strength have
just as many votes in the Convention as if
they could aid the election, and without the
two-thirds rule the representatives of mi
nority Of the party might choose the candi-
dates. If each State was represented in the
Convention in proportion to its party
strength, and the delegates voted per capita,
without any unit rule to conscript the mi
nority Of particular delegations, the two
thirds rule would have no defence beyond
mere usage but so long as the unit rule is
permitted, and the delegates are not appor-
toned according to the number of demo-
cratic voters in the States sending them,
there is great deal Of force in the argument
that the two-thirds rule is necessary to pre-
vent minority of the party from selecting
its candidates.

Dun INTERVIEWS with delegates to the st.
Louis Convention from the Northwest are
remarkable rs showing the hard money SEN
timsnt in Wisconsin, Iowa and other States
which were supposed to sympathize with the
Allen heresy. In Wisconsin, for instance,
Tilden is strong because his views on the
currency are safe. This is an element in the
canvass that was scarcely counted upon in
that section, and If it is to BIO taken as test
of the action Of the Convention the financial
plank will be after the pattern framed by the
old-fnshioned democracy.

The CENTENNIAL RIFLE MArcH.-The
correspondent, ''Creedmoor," who furnishes
some interesting comparisons between the
practice shooting OF the American and Irish
riiemcn in their competitions for the re-
spective teams, must remember that the
Irishmen have not concluded their shooting
for the selection of team, and that, except
for an approximation, no comparison is
absolutely reliable where the shooting to be
compared does not come of at the same
time and place, or under conditions precisely
similar Hence it looks little cruel to
place the Irish and American percentages
side by side. The HERALD has avoided this,
merely stating that the average Of our rifle
men was slightly higher than anything we
had heard Of from the other side of the
Atlantic. Apart from the question of taste,
il is safer for our rihemcn to contain their
iubilation until the match is over, when We
shall be glad of the opportunity to join their
shout Of victory.

"A Fenian" correspondent in the HERALD
of yesterday thinks that General Grant
should make the course Of the English gov
eminent on the Extradition Treaty an act of
war, and should send for ODonovan Rossa
to counsel him as to the best way of fight
ing England. When we last heard of
O'Donovan Rosa he was lecturing to the
Californians and striving to raise ''skir-
mishing fund" from the chambermaids.
This is much more practical work than
fighting England. The extradition question
is most important to our country, as we'll as
to England. Extradition between civilized
countries is one of the strongest bonds of
society and order. No question is more
easily determined. If an American MUIR
derer escapes to England we want him home
to be hanged. five have an English murderer
we are only too anxious to have him 60 home
Neither of the nations wishes to violate the
right of asylum. There is no civilized
country that would think of asking for the
return Of political prisoner upon another
charge. If, for instance, we had asked the
extradition of jefferson Davis on some
technical charge of crime, and had tried him
for treason, it would have been ON outrage,
an act of perfidy, that would have dis
honored us in every nation. Such thing
was never possible, certainly, between two
countries like England and America
The Extradition Treaty falls through the
over-sensitiveness of Mr.. Cross, the English
Home Secretary. 1t was Mr.. Cross who be-
came alarmed lest the Americans might try
Lawrence for an offence other than that for
which he was extradited. And although the
American government did not do so-al-
though the President expressly forbade any
such trial, in Difference to the English
sensitiveness on the subject--Mr. Cross, in
the case Of Winslow, refused to issue his
warrant until the American government gave
guarantee which was not required by the
treaty. Ofcourse no self-respecting govern
ment could do this, and the treaty fell.
The English are right in their resolution
to protect the sanctity of asylum. No one
will censure free nation for loyalty to its
flag and the Inequalities of the flag But
we do not see that the right of asylum be-
tween countries like England and America
needs treaty for its protection. 1t is part
of the common law of civilization. For the
English to assume that we intended any
violation of it was o grave error and a want
of craftsmanship on the part of Mr.. Cross
and Lord Derby. Mr. Fish is right in his
refusal to amend treaty under menace,
and especially in resisting the pretensions
Of Great Britain to make solemn treaty to-
day and to annul it tomorrow by an act of
Parliament. So there is right and wrong on
both sides, and especially on the side Of
America. The true way is for Mr.. Fish and
Sir Edward Thornton to sit down after a
good dinner, talk the whole subject over
from the beginning. and arrange u treaty
that will satisfy every one but the thieves
and murderers, who rejoice in the destruc-
ton of cxtradition. AS to O'Donovan Rossa,
his services mny be declined with thanks.
The "skirmishing fund" will keep him busy.
