SAeridan's Extradltlen.
Commenting on the application for
the extraditi0n of Sheridan, the Pail
Mall Gazette says: "When Russia
wished Europe to refuse an asylum to
Nihilists, the Austrian Frsadsrbiatt de-
clared that such a demand would give
the right to ask Russia to initiate the
regime which produced Nihilism. 1t
would be unpleasant if the United
States Government addressed a similar
to Lord Granville, the for
Secretary. II the demand for the extra
ditiOn OF Sheridan is based solely upon
the fact of his belonging to tho Irish
Invin0ibles. 1t stands easily on tho
same footing as if Russia had asked
for the surrender of Prince Krapoltine.
Not even success in securing the sur
render OF Sheridan would atone for
abandonment Of the position. with re-
gard to the extradition we have hisher
to maintained. In the face of Europe
it will be even worse If the position
were abandoned only to sustain q hu-
initiating rebuff.
