EXTRACTION REFORM.

Not little apprehension is felt in Phil
adelphia that the attempt to extradite
Major Phipps, the almshouse robber, who
is now prisoner in Canada, may fail.
1t has been represented that he cannot be
extradicted except upon charge of forg-
cry. Whatever the result of the proceed
ings at Hamilton in his case, it is evident
that a reform in our extradition laws is
needed. Such laws should be simple
enough, and yet comprehensive enough,
to render the return of any criminal to
his own country for trial an achievement
easily accomplished. To say nothing of
other countries, the extradition laws be-
tween the United States and England are
very unsatisfactory. In 1875 misunder-
standing occurred as the result of the
British demand that the United States
should agree that any accused person de
livered upon arequistion under the treaty
should be tried for no other offence than
that charged in the requisition, and that
if acquitted, he should be returned to
British jurisdiction before other proceed
ings We're begun against him. In August
1881, the British government asked the
extradition of Brumpton the forger, but
it took about seven months and So. 900 to
effect that result. Among the subjects
which deserve the attention of the Asso-
citation for the Reform and Codification of
the Laws Of Nations. and of all statesmen,
is the improvement of the extradition
laws.

THE CURSE OF CREDIT.

1t is asserted by writer in prominent
daily that the distress which eliminated
in Ireland two years ago was mainly
brought about by small shopkeepers who
"pressed their wares upon the peasantry
and INDUCED them in ruineus credit"
Whatever the facts as to the cause of
Irish distress, it is certain that credit has
proved ruinous to nations again and again.
The panic of 1878, with all it's years of
distress, could not have come upon us
had it not been for the reckless extrava-
gance of the people through the credit
system. 1t is said that the greatest OBJ
stacle to the progress of the colored peo-
pie of the South is their ready acceptance
of credit from the schemers who thus
bring them into their power. But indul-
gence in credit is not confined to the ig-
norant and impoverished laborers of the
South; it is the curse of majority of
the American people. A certain kind of
credit is necessary in.great business oper-
ations, but the practice Of purchasing
family supplies upon credit would sure
ly be avoided were those addicted to it
aware of the disaster it entails The
French people abhor debt, and to that
fact much of their thrift is attributable.
1t is exceedingly desirable that the people
of the United States initiate the French
in their reluctance to incur debt

A HISTORIC STORM.

The storm which began last Thursday
evening, continued until the end of the
week, and, having observed Sunday as a
day of rest in Christian-like manner,
resumed business on Monday morning, is
destined to figure in history as one of the
most remarkable storms which have ever
visited the Atlantic coast. The deluge
caused by this extraordinary rainfall has
effected great damage at time of the
year when great storms are least likely to
cause destructive floods. But the amount
of damage, although large, will be much
less than that caused by the great storms
of early Spring, SO that the storm will be
memorable not so much because of the
havoc it has: wrought as because it has
poured down an average of more than
eleven inches of water in about eighty
four hours. Whether the new comet is
responsible for the remarkable storm the
astronomers must determine if they can,
but the suspicion is growing that the ex-
traordinary weather of the last two years
is attributable in some degree to the ex-
traordinary abund snce of comets.

DANENH0WER AND MELVILLE.

Danenhower and Melville have been
seen riding together through the suburbs
of Washington, and the inference that
they are not unfriendly is confirmed by
the words of Melville, who AYERS that
their parting at Yakutsk was pleasant and
that the "most friendly terms" which
existed between them while searching for
the lost explorers have never been inter-
rupted. tits gratifingy to have the assur-
ence that the country is not to be atf1ict-

scandal of Engineer Melville's separation
from his wife having already severely tax
ed public endurance, although it is not
clear that he is to blame for anything
more than the blunder of disclosing to
the world a domestic misfortune which
should have been kept secret. Engineer

cation will disclose the fact that there was
a difference of opinion as to Capt.

taken by the Jeanette party after the

no such difference of opinion has created

FUSION REPUDIATED.

The principle of "anything to get the
Offices" upon which the Republican par
ty has lately been run in Virginia and the
Democratic party in Maine and Michigan,
has been repudiated by the Republicans
of Missouri in convention which repre-
sented the best elements of that party.
The Greenbackers have shown some
strength in Missouri in years past, and
succeeded several times in electing men,
bers of Congress. The bosses of the Re-
publican party, which is in heavy mi
nority, so to speak, in that State, thought
that an alliance of Greenbackers and Re-
publicans might carry the State. and tried
to accomplish such a bargain. They have
failed, and the Republican party of Mis-
souri, has proved that it has principles
which it will not abandon for the sake of
a chance at the spoiIs. 1t has done wei

CHEAP BRANDY AND INSANITY.

The frauds in the importation of French
brandy to this country have already been
the subject of comment in this and other
papers. One result of the introduction
of the adulterated article, however, has
not, so far al We are aware, been noticed
by the press. Consul Clifford, of La
Rochelle, in his report on French brandies
points out the fact that no pure brandy is
now made in Cognac and the district ad-
jaccnt. He says that German alcohol
distilled from potatoes is imported, doc
tored and sold for brandy, and that the
French artisans and peasants, who form
erly used light wines, have of late years
used much of this so called brandy. He
says: " Its characteristic effect is to pro-
duce an intoxication in which the patient
is especially inclined to rage and physical
violence, while hopeless insanity is the
inevitable consequence of persisting in
its use, even for a relatively short period
of time" He backs up this statement
by the authority of physicians and man
ayers of Insane asylums. The director
of one such institution told him that the
greater part of his patients, women as
we'll as men. owe their mental condition
to the use of this impure brandy and of
absinthe, which takes its place with the
weather. classes.
The lack of drunkenness in a wine pro-
ducing country is nonsense, SO ar as the
vine-bearing districts of France are con-
cerned. Consul Clifford says that the eff
fects of intemperance are just as striking
there as in the United States. Drinkers
of brandy may well pause when it is prov
ed that the use of the French article pro-
duces physical violence and inevitably
brings on insanity in period sometimes
less than three months.

For the fifth time the phenomenon of

to the world, the comets of 43 B. c., 1902

more remarkable thing about the new

is its endurance of temperature of al

which the comet of 1880 was subjected
to be 1000 times as great as that of red

The astronomers think they identify
the new comet with that of 1843, whose
nearest approach to the sun was almost
precisely the distance from the sun of the
comet which has been discovered this
week. The theory has been preached
that the time of revolution is lessened at
each return of the comet, so that ulti-
mately the mysterious body will plunge
into the sun, with a velocity so terrific
that heat enough will be generated by the
concussion to destroy life on earth. AS
tronomers will be interested to observe
whether the movement of the new comet
