THE ENTRADITION OF CRIMINALS

Tho Hon, Randall Gibson. Represent
atiye in Congress from tho Firat District
Of Louisiana. has recently introduced in
the House = bill providing for u now
reciprocity treaty with tho United
States Of Mexico. In this connection If
Is proper to suggest that the oxtradition
clause Of tho present treaty will admit
Of great improvement. Judging from its
operations on tho Rio Grandc frontier
IT Is Enthusiastically the cause of constant
trouble between the State Of Texas and
tho Mexican Republic.
All the cattlc-stcaling, and tho mur
ders attending thom. along the Texas
| frontier. are due in u measure 10 q great
| vice in the existing treaty. According
to this treaty the oXtradition OF a ciA i
zen Of Moxico. who. aftor having com
mittcd u crime in Texas, escapes into
tho first named country, cannot bo cx-
tradited In many cases somo of the
most outrageous felons have avaied
themselves Of this provision Of the
treaty by becoming naturaIized
Mcxicans. after escaping into Mexico.
This is m easy matter only ono years
residence in that country. If we mistake
not. being necessary for the purpose.
This condition is, to say the least, i'm
moral. Thus Mexicans born on Ameri-
can soil. who may have enjoyed all the
privileges Of American citizenship. when
identified rs part Of tho bands Of mur-
dcrers and thieves who infest tho border.
seek refuge on the opposite shore. and
either claim a Mexican nationality or be
come naturaliZed. thereby cyading the
gallows.
Another and grave vico exists in the
clause which virtually commits these
important cNtradtion cases to the dc
cision ofpctty District Judges, tex -ofIicio
L. ). Commissioners for these cases. on
the one side, and potter Alcadcs on the
other, that ia, so far rs the State OF
Tcxas Is concerned. 70 he palmer: in
the case of a criminal citizen OF Texas
who escapes into Mexico, or rice rersa.
the United States Government is pro-
cludcd from interfering, whilst in the
ease Of any other State Of the Union the
matter IS within the immediate jurisdic-
ton Of the Federal Government.
The original intention In making this
discrimination in favor Of Texas was to
facilitate eXtradtion in the numerous
cases which, it was justly supposed,
would naturally present themselves,
owing TO the contiguity of Texas and
Mexico. But it has worked badly. and.
btSlueS, ieu 70 Such corrupt practices,
that il is notorious along the border
that the most confirmed criminal who
has little money can defy the extradi
tion laws. 1t would take columns to
give an idea Of the condition of the
Rio Grande border. resulting from the
defects of the treaty and the scorn in |
which it is held by the Mexican officials |
and their af1iliates on the Texas side. |
In certain case which occurred not
long ago. a Mexican judge having de-
creed the extradition OF person in
dicted for very grave crime, found |
himself deposed by superior authority, |

pany, it will be seen that the company
offers splendid inducements to those
who may become voluntary subscribers.
For example. those who shall have
made payments prior to the collection
Of the tax will be entitled to a proper
tomato credit on the amount of the tax.
Those who will have paid in full, shall
have the amount Of the tax refunded to
them upon producing the tax receipt.
There is no doubt that, whatever may
be the merits of the principle involved
in the railroad tax bill, that the railroad
itself will be benefit to the city and
its property holders in general, and it
should be incumbent upon all the citi-
zens who can afford it, to lend helping
hand to the enterprise.

THE HUMBOLDT STILL RISING.

From dispatches from Palisade, re-
ceived at 7 O'Clock last evening, we
learn at that time that the Humboldt
river was higher than it had been at
any time during the freshet, and was
still rising, causing the most serious
apprehensions for the safety Of both of
the bridges. The citizens were en-
gagged weighing down the upper
bridge to keep it from going, but if the
water continued to rise during the
night it Was thought their efforts would
be fruitless. The Eureka and Palisade
track for a hundred yards On this side
of the bridge was a foot under water,
but the trains by moving slowly were
able to make their way through to and
across the bridge. Things looked so
threatening that the railroad employees
at Palisade telegraphed to Superin-
tendent Evarts, who left here for that
place on q special train at 7 o'clock last
evening. Further news from the
flooded town will be awaited with un-
usual interest.
