This is one Of the Herald's Republican
days. It says:
"'Reform' is a captivating issue, but
so far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned 1t Is an issue OF promises and not
performances.
The Democratic party has nominated
Mr.. Tilden, Democrat. He has broken
the Tweed and canal rings. He has
saved $S,0O0,000 In taxes in one year.
He has made the canals yield more
revenue on less tolls. He presented
81 .OOO, 900 to the State treasury, in one
sum, plucked from the maws Of plunder.
He has vetoed $3,0O0,00O, in canal jobs
alone. He has reduced States taxes one
half, in rate and In aggregate. He has
made 1t sure the rate will go down one
half Of its present per cent next year.
William Nj. Tweed and George Lord do
not believe in Mr.. Tilden. We should
be sorry to add the Herald to that pair,
In its opinion.

The Turkish General, Seiim Pasha,

enemy, who was compelled to retreat
with considerable loss. The Seallean

ExTRADITION.
Earl Dcrby's Note on Extradition- A New
Treaty Necessary.
LONDON. July f3.-The final CORE
spondence between the United States
and Great Britain on the extradition
question, including Earl Derby's note OF
June 80 to Secretary Fish, is published
to-day. Earl Derby, in his note. says
the essential principles of extradition,
az practiced by England, are that per-
son surrendered on an extradition treaty
can be tried on no offense except the
one for which he IL surrendered. This
Ia the proper construction OF the treaty
OF 1s42. Her Majesty's Government
thinks that the act of 1870 Is important,
but without 1t would maintain the same
position. The Government maintains
the right Of asylum. until criminality,
according to the law OF England, Is
shown. This applies foreibly in case of
political offenses.
The great object In requiring evidence
not merely establishing an o6ense call.
ed by the name, according to the law OF
the surrendering country, Is to prevent
the surrender OF person on charge
| Of crime OF uncertain meaning, and his
subsequent trial on facts considered here
as establishing O political offense, and
not for the crime for which the surren-
der was made. The surrendering coun-
try must have the facts to Judge whether
| the offense Is political. Secretary Fish g
assurance that no administration dare
violate the rights OF a political asylum
| by obtaining prisoner on one charge
and trying him for n political offense is
| not sufficient, as the Attorney General
cannot interfere when an offense Is com
mitted against the law of any one State.
The act of Congress Of August IL, lS4S,
article AZ, section 3. shows the construc-
tion put on the treaty by the United
States.
Lord Derby briefly reviews the nego-
tiations in lS71-72-73, and says the viola
ton in the case of Heihbrown was not
the act OF her Majesty's Government,
but 1t regretted 1t.
The Government believes that the
United States Is actuated by desire tc
maintain their judgment as demanded
by the treaty Of 1912, and they wish the
same construction put on England's
motives. The note deplores the mis-
understanding between the two Govern
ments. and says the British Government
Is ready to join the United States in
negotiating new treaty

There seems to be no doubt Of the
fact that Hayes was an active Know
Nothing. This probably accounts for
the support accorded him by the Ameri-
can Alliance, an oath bound society,
whose object is to eliminate from poll
tics the foreign element in this country.
It is q native American organization
with all the name implies. Hayes is
also Q strong prohibitionist. We are at
Q loss to know how any foreign born
citizen, and especially our German fel.

Wo print this morning several sermons de-
livocod In Chicago .pulpits yesterday having
for their subject tho murder Of FnAscza
uAsToRp by ALEXANDER SULLIVAN. The
sermon certain to attract tho most attention,
is that preached by tho Rey. II. II. pAnx-
HURST, Of tho Michigan Avenue Methodist
Church, clergyman Of prominence in the
denomination in this city. In this instance,
however, he assumes only to spcak his indi-
ridual sentiments, md not to reflect
those Of his congregation or thu Churcl,
at large. To assume otherwiso would,
wo bellovo, bo q libel upon the intelligence
and moderation Of the Methodista Of Chicn-
go, who as body will not DO likely to al,-
prove OF indorse tho many fooliBh and uu.

sation and to provoke criticism, without re-
gard To the bitterness aud bad blood certain

notoriety will compensato for the consure

question which chiefly concerns tho opreach-
or and Lis congregation.
