The Tyranny OF Buttons.

AMONG all the possible arguments fol
woman's natural inferiority to man, the
only one having real force has never
been formulated; this is her meek and
unquestioning submission to buttons.
The buttons of the male habiliments
are always coming off-notably before
breakfast, when the average husband is
about as amiable as bear with a sore
head. At this time, if he finds button
loose, he gives it "yank," and then
looks about helplessly for his victim
the first woman coming into his field Of
vision. He holds the button up before
her, says it has "come " off, and she is
expected to sew it on straightway.
Generally the victim is his wife; and
= though the baby may be crying and the
breakfast preparations in need of super
vision, while the tyrant himself has
nothing on earth to do but make his
toilet, and has, moreover, sewing mate
rails right before him on the bureau or
dressing table, he never rises to the con-
ception of his possible competence to
supply his own wants. Woman, in his
eyes, is the preordained supervisor OF
buttons; and delicate consideration for
her rights and prerogatives is his motive
for RELOCATING the task to her; at least
this is the way he apologies, when in a
playful mood, for his lack of dizziness
with the needle, which, as rule, is
wholly the fault of the women who had
charge of his boyhood. They should
have taught him to replace the buttons
he is forever wrenching off with his rude
lingering. One or two lessons about the
time the boy begins to go to school, q
little work-box placed in his room con
tanning needles, thread, two or three
kinds of buttons, and an open-top thin
ble-the only kind that ever should be
worn-and the problem is solved for 8
lifetime; for whatever one is accustomed
to do from childhood one does easily
and dexterously. Women have shOwr
their capacity for accomplishments ant
attachments supposed to be exclusively
masculine. 1t is time for correspond
ing display of ambition and adaptability
on the part of men; and they can no
make better beginning than by learn
ing to sew on their own buttons.-M. II.

BLAINE ANp HARTMANN.

The action of the attorney of the
Nihilist Hartmann, in asking Secretary
Blaine to give him definite guarantee for
the safety OF his client from extradition,
is certainly one of the most impudent and
outrageous things that has been done of
late. As q matter of course Mr.. Blaine
can no more give such an assurance than
Judge can promise party to a suit
that it shall be decided for him, and the
application to the State Department was
as indecent and improper as such an ap-
plication to Court would be. If the
Russian Government makes demand
for the extradition of Hartmann the
United States Government will require it
to produce evidence that Hartmann has
committed some one of the offenses for
which extradition is granted under exist
ing treaty arrangements. If the Russian
Government cannot produce such evidence,
then Hartmann will not be delivered up.
But if it is able to show that it has valid
ground for charging him with par
ticipation in an attempt at assassination,
then he will be given up without
hesitation. Hartmann and his attorney
must not imagine that any effort would be
made by the United States Government
to strain points in his favor On his
own published confession he is an assassin,
and this is not a congenial place OF refuge
for men of that character. II his own story
be true, there can be no doubt that he is
very proper subject for extradit on, and
1T will be matter for regret if the Rus
sian Government does not demand his sur
render. As regards his attorneys talk
about the political aspect OF his crimes,
of course our Government would have
nothing to do with it. Political refugees
are not liable to extradition, but murder
ers cannot escape by pretending that
their crimes were inspired by political
motives. Assassination is assassination, no
matter how inspired, and whoever com
mits murder loses his right of asylum in
this couutrv

eRAY,s SENTENCE.

Clarence Gray, the murderer OF Clancy,
has been sentenced to twenty years in the
State Prison. This man ought to have been
hanged, and his sentence is therefore
measurably failure Of justice. The crime he
committed was brutal and an aggravated
one Hewasa turbulent ruffiap, and having
been proposed for a responsible office he
was denounced as unfit by courageous
journalist. To prove his fitness he then
assassinated the editor, and now after two
trials, and numerous delays and bitches
in the proceedings, he has received this
sentence. II such sentence really meant
anything in this State the case would be
| different, but when man is sentenced for
twenty years we know only too well that
he may be free again in less than five, if
he possesses sufficient political influence.
Since Gray has escaped the gallows he GER
tainly ought to have had life sentence.
Even if he served twenty years it would
not be an adequate punishment for his
crime, but he has proved himself SO bad a
citizen that there is no reason for letting
him loose again at all, and therefore he
should have spent the rest of his life in the
| Peuitentiary,

WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH 1T9

Now that the Beers have got the Trans
wal all to themselves it remains to be seen
what they will do with it. When they
had it before they managed their affairs SO
badly that between intestine dissensions
and quarrels with native tribes they were
on the point of being ruined when they
made that appeal for British help which
they afterwards undertook to repudiate.
Henceforth they will have to take care of
themselves, and whatever fate they may
incur it is tolerably certain that they will
find nobody willing to interfere on their
behalf. Their talent for governing has not
been exhibited very conspicuously in the
past. All that has been made apparent is
that they,,are particularly skillful marks
men. A country, however. cannot be
ruled by rife-shooting, neither can debts
be paid in that way. The Beers are al
ready in debt to begin with, and they are
not at all harmonious among themselves,
while they have never been on anything
but hostile terms with their native neigh
bors. 1t will be interesting to observe
their progress, and to see whether they
have within them the capacity for self
government after all their Dragging.

ANIMAL VACCINATION

A Herald special from London states
that Professor Pasteur, the celebrated
French chemist, has succeeded in applying
vaccination, or rather incubation, to ami
mails, and has produced the best results.
In describing his experiments he said ::
8 Fifty sheep were placed at my disposal,
OF which twenty were vaccinated. 4
fortnight afterwards fifty sheep were
inoculated with the most virulent poison.
The twenty-five yaccinated sheep re-
sisted the infection. The twenty-five
unvaccinated sheep died OF splenic fever
within fifty hours" He added that
since making these demonstrations of the
value of animal vaccination he has vscci-
mated, in the Departments surrounding
Paris, more than twenty thousand sheep
90 and large number of cattle and horses. T"
It is needless to point out the great im-
portance of this discovery to farmers. Pro-
fessor Pasteur says that the losses in
France annually from the diseases which
can be prevented by vaccination have
heretofore amounted to twenty million
francs These losses have been common
to all ssock-raisers and sheep and cattle
breeders, and if they can be averted by
timely vaccination the discovery may truly
be said to be worth score of millions
year in the United States alone.

RAIN AND RAILROADS.

A Kansas dispatch of yesterday stated
that =" the undeniable increase in the rain
" fall of New Mexico is attributed by sci.
"entists to the rapid extension of railway
"lines, and the consequent increased cul.
I" tivation of the agricultural lands of the
" Territory" The reference to the views
of the scientists is unsatisfactory
vague. We should like to know who the
scientists are who are reported to have
made this statement. There have been
some very queer theories broached from
time to time in reference to the meteorolog-
ical influence of railroads. Some years ago
it was suggested that railroads might tend
to the promotion of earthquakes. Now
we are asked to believe that their extension
increases the rainfall. Precisely how it
can do this through the % increased
cultivation of the agricultural lands of
New Mexico, does not appear. The in.
creased cultivation caused by the eonstruc-
ton of railroads during the past two years
cannot be very considerable. 1t is no doubt
possible that the cultivation of large sreas

which had formerly been desert might in
time exercise some influence upon the rain
fall; but the areas would have to be large,
the cultivation extensive. and the period
of observation protracted, before any con-
illusions possessing scientific value could be
obtained. In the present case it is far
more likely that the supposed increase of
rainfall in New Mexico is the result of
that general meteorological disturbance
which has been SO marked in most parts of
the world this year, than that it owes its
origin to the effects of the railroad extern
sion upon cultivation.
