THE EXTRADITION QUESTION.

If Mr.. lyman be in this country and
not in London getting ready to turn in
former, as alleged, his case and those Of
Sheridan and Walsh may be made the
subject of request for extradition, and
the probable political effect Of the treat.
ment which the President may accord TO
such a request is exciting some discussion.
Some of the Irish-Americans who assume
that the distinies of both political parties
are held in the hollow of their hands are
announcing that compliance with such a
requisition from the British Government
would be the political doom of the Feder-
administration. But we do not believe
that the sleep Of either MIR. Arthur or
Mr. Frelinghuysen is seriously disturbed
by these threats The question is very
simple one, and the responsibility for IFS
settlement, should settlement become
necessary, rests with the judiciary of the
United States Officers who, happily. en-
Joy complete immunity from the terros
Of political animosity The tenth article
Of the treaty Of Aug. 8, 1912, between
our Government and Great Britain, pro-
vides that persons charged with any one
of certain crimes including murder, com.
mitted within the jurisdiction of either,
and found within the territories Of the
other shall be delivered up, "provided
that this shall only be done upon such
evidence Of criminality as, according 20
the laws of the place where such fugitive
or person 80 charged shall be found.
would justify his apprehension and com
mitment for trial if the crime or offense
had been there committed; and the re
spective judges and other magistrates Of
the two governments shall have power,
jurisdiction and authority, upon "om
plant made under oath, to issue war
rant for the apprehension of the fug tive
or person so charged, that he NAV he
brought before such judges or other MAJ
istrates, respectively, TO the end that The
evidence of criminality may be heard
and considered; and If. on such hearing
the evidence be deemd sufficient to sus
tain the charge, it shall be the dutv u
the examining judge or magistrate to
certify the same TO the proper execntive
authority, that warrant may issue for
the surrender of such fugitive" The
language is very plain and conclusive
1t describes the course to be taken N
clearly that the wayfaring man, thonoh
an Irish member of Congress, cannot er
therein. If the duty of deciding on a
request for extradition rested wholly on
President Arthur and his advisers, there
is no doubt that they would perform If
honestly and fearlessly, without reference
to it's political effect. But in real :,
if the question arise. it will be deter
mined according to the treaty and the
laws OF the State of New York, by Fed
eral Judge, and the justice of bis deri
sion will not be questioned by any sensi.

AMERICAN WOMEN OF LETTERS.

As for living women, there are plenty
of authors among them-writers OF poetry
writer's of novels, writer's of books for
bows and girls; but who of them will
come forward and claim the iaurels from
her sisters? The women of letters must
have some masculinity in her compost
tion. her finer metal must be streaked
with iron ore: she must carry the sledge-
hammer in her hand as well as wear the
flower at her throat. She must be Mir

as well as fashions; who can thunder as

hut il is certain that the competing inter-

but little is needed to precipltate an open
war, in which the great lines OF the Nortia"
west will participate. There is trouble
in the Southwestern lumber pool, and the
Northwestern and Milwaukee and st.

Missouri river points. BY the exertlons
of the pool commissioner, the matter has
