 Within the past two years, several veD handsomely bound volumes, treating of the cause of poverty, have been publish cd in this country. but the great thinkers. it strikes us, have thus far failed to sue cessfully arrive at conclusion sufficient ly assuring that the true cause of poverty has been reached.

late President was political crime" etc.
We had hoped that with age the Examiner

RECORD. UNION did not say what is above
attributed to it. It said nothing whatever
upon which the quotation could be hinged
by any possible comforting of plain Eng

the RECORD UNION, by way of illustration,
explained that under that new treaty, had
it been in force when President Garfield
was assassinated, and had Guiteau fled to
Belgium, the murderer would have been
extradited even against all pleas he
might make that he was a revolu-
ZIONIST instead of the ordinary muir.

Belgium provides-as all extradition trea.

head of foreign Government, or against

THE LAYING OF TIE CORNER ssoNE

The ceremony of laying the corner stone
Of the new Agricultural and Indus
trial Exhibition Building of the
State Agricultural Society will be per-
formed in this city in few days,
under the auspices of the Masonic fra
ternity. The occasion will be one of more
than passing Importance. 1t marks new
departure in the policy of the State; the
determination to make the State Agricult-
ural Society permanent, and to foster
and encourage its annual expeditions; it
will become a station in the history Of the
Society, from which it will date new era
of progress. The new building, the largest
public edifce in the State, will owe its ex-
istence to the hberahty of the people of
the capital city and county and their COM
prehension of the aims and purposes of the
Society. All citizens, through the system
Of local taxation, have contributed to the
fund for its erection, and thus there is
exhibitions annually TO be held therein.
The occasion, therefore, of the laying of
the corner stone might with appropriate
ness be given especial prominence. The
hour can be fixed late in the afternoon OF
the day chosen, that the children of the
public schools, marshaled by their teachers,
may march from their class-rooms in or
DERBY array to the grounds, to unite their
voices in Hinging the national hymn. Or,
better still, the S0th day of May might be
fixed upon, that now being national hol-
day, when the ex.soldiers and sailors, re-
turning from their annual decoration exer-
cises, could add to the Importance of the
gathering. Why would it not be fitting for
the Governor of the State and the officers
of his administration, accompanying the
State Board of Agriculture and escorted by
the local military commands, enrolled and
independent, with their bands of music, to
honor the occasion by attendance During
the hours of the exercises business, at the
request of the Board of Trade, would m
doubleday be suspended, to enable all the
people to witness the ceremonies. We have
gifted orators, some one of whom should
be invited to address the assembled people.
There attaches TO such observance no cost
it may easily be made one of impressive
simplicity, and without outlay from the
funds of the Society, and without, indeed,
any disbursement OF monies. With the IN
furling of the nationsl flag, in the presence
of the chosen officers of the people the
citizen soldiery and the people themselves
drawn from home, street, Office, shop and
countingroom in the presence of children
OF the State. for whom she is erecting her
Institutions; grsced by the attendance of
women exalted by the voice of oratory,
consecratsd by song and invocation, the
corner stone of the first structure Califor.
mia has ever erected devoted to expositions
of the products of agriculture, mechanics
and the arts, should be laid.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1883-05-18

been unsettled, until the decision OF Judge
Hoffman in the Watts case, as to whether,
after securing the extradition OF party
for one crime, we could hold or try him for
another. Both England and America have
charged upon each other violations OF the
treaty. section in this respect. Finally
England, by Parliamentary Act, defined
the section to mean "trial for the crime
for which extradited, and for no other. "
But the United States has properly
refused to recognize this legisla.
tive right of Interpretation, holding that
no legislative right can be accorded to
modify treaty. But the United States
District Court for California has affirmed
the parliamentary Interpretation. While
the debate was at its hight, with singular
inconsistency our Government agreed with
Spain upon a treaty expressly providing
for exactly what the English Parliament
commended by legislation, and this we did
at the suggestion Of Spain, that no person
shall be tried for any offense other thar
that for which he is surrendered. So il
happens that we take Lesson from sub
ordinate nation, with which we have little
sympathy and no near or close relations
and yet quarrel on precisely the samt
proposition with an English speaking ma
ton, with whom our commercial, socia
and geographical relations are most init
mate. Then again our schedule of crimes
in the Spanish, as in the Belgium treaty
is broader than in the English convention
There is but one commercial crime fol
which we may ask England to surrender 1
criminal, and all our swindlers, embezzlerl
and other rogues can so Hcott free on Eng
lish SOIL It certainly looks as if boil
England and America. in this matter o.
extraditioD, have reason to feel sheepish,
and they ought to be ashamed to look one
another in the face.

} STATE PRISON AFFAIRS.

It is said that the State Prison Direct
ors, whose administration of affairs is about
to be looked into, have been SO unwise as
to threaten disclosures concerning the mis-.
deeds of former Prison administrations
which will overshadow the charges now
laid. It is to be hoped that the report is
untrue. The gentlemen against whom the
Attorney. General has preferred charges
must stand upon their own feet. In their
own interest this journal insisted that the
executive investigate. They had been
charged with derelictions and irregularities
of administration by special commission
under Governor Perkins next they were
presented by regular legislative commit
tee, and lastly charged by a bill of indict.
ment adopted by the State Senate. On these
presentments and the Indictment they
were entitled to be heard. To refuse to
hear and try them would be an act of in
justice and violation of plain duty. We
have not believed, however, and do not
now, that the intention is to conduct any
searching inquiry, and this last report, as
Stunning it to be true, confirms that belief.
If the Directors are innocent, they owe it
to themselves and the people to prove it
by utterly overthrowing the charges made.
If they have knowledge of populations and
wrong doings of their predecessors, they
owe it to the State to make that knowledge
public. They have no right to hold the in.
formation as menace over the present
prosecution. Unwilling to believe that
they would descend to such methods to
ward off inquiry, we prefer to look upon
the report of the threat attributed to them
as without sufficient foundation.
