WASHINGTON, MAY 21.-Late this afternoon.
after prolonged conference with the Secretary Of
the Treasury. the President appointed Walter
Evans of Kentucky. to he Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Evans was the Southern candidate
for the Office whose was success

however, mentioned III The TRIBUNE OF
Saturday as one of the three Kentucky
applicants for the office. This morning it became
known at the White House that ). B. butcher had
recently entered into business engagements which
would probably interfere with his appointment,
and it appears that the President then began TO
consider more carefully and seriously the pro-
pnety of appointing Mr. Evans, who, it
seems was the "other man. While the
p e-dent and the Secretary of the Treasury
coseted together discussing the matter, about
o'clock this afternoon, one of the unsuccessful
applicants for the offce-George c. Gorham-prc-
sentcd himself at the White House cnveloped in a
long rubber coat. He had walked up through
heavy rainstOrm. but arrived too late.
Mr.. Evans is a native of Kentucky and is
about forty-sx years of age. He entered 'ha

In 1875 he was a candidate for Congress and was
defeated; in 1880 he was again defeated being

1876 Mr. Evans was a warm advocate of the uomi-
nation of Secretary Bustoy for the Presidency. In
1850 he was a delegate TO the Chicago Convention
and, It is said. was among those wh1
voted for General Grant every ballot.
His appointment, therefore, ought TO be especially
aCrccabl to the Stalwarts"
By one who knows Mr. Evans well he IS described
as "A lawyer Of ability, a man of pure character, or
high integrity and of great trmnesl and determine
tion-one who will perform the duties OF the oihcs
with vigor and Intelligence. His appointment, II -
said. will not. probably. be very satisfactory
10 the whiskcy interests OF his own and other
states.
Some of Mr. Brstow's friends in Washington
who know Nh Evans we'll are by no means pleased
with the appointment, which they declare was au
unfit one to he made. They say that while Mr.
Evans is an honest man and good lawyer he lacks
force; and that politically speaking the selection
is about as bad as any that could have been made.

A Point in Law.

A vexed question in international
law of many years standing has just
received learned discussion from Judge
Hoffman. of California 1t Is: Whether
a fugitive from justice brought back
upon a charge of one crime can resist
being tried on any other. One view has
been that although criminals ought not
to be extradited except upon specific
charges. and ought not to be put on
trial on any other charge than one
mentioned in the proceedings, yet the
culprit had no right to object; the ques-
ton was only diplomatic one between
the two nations. When WinslOw was
demanded from Great Britain by the
United States. Lord Derby, under an
act of Parliament later than the treaty,
claimed from Secretary Fish stipula-
ton that he should be tried only on the
charge named, but our administration
refused to give it, and there was long
disagreement between the two nations
over the question. In the noted case of
Lagrave. the New York courts held that
until some law or treaty limited the
prosecution Of returned offenders to the
very crime specified the courts could
not refuse to entertain any regularly
made charges. Other jurists Of high
standing have thought it proper for a
court to entertain q prisoners objection
that he had been brought back unfairly.
And of this opinion is Judge Hoffman.
He argues that specifying in treaty
certain crimes as grounds Of extradition
implies that no others shall be allowed;
and, further. that the treaty is part OF
the law of the land, Of which the pris-
oner is personally entitled to the benefit.

American Life.

Times have changed. and to-day in
this country wealth makes no conceal
ment. 1t finds expression in costly resi-
dences. superb interior decorations.
magnificent dining rooms. gorgeous IL
borated ostentatious display. The rea-
son Of this is found in the fact that mon
who have spent all their lives in the
chase for wealth have little time for the
pursuits of scholarship or even for what
Is properly termed culture. In every
community the men who have the most
money are quite apt to be found the least
intelligent and the least cultured. They
take cursory glance Mt their daily pa
per. but rarely read the magazines, and
are totally ignorant OF what is going on
in the literary and scientific world. They
know nothing of art. music or the
drama. They are absorbed in the whirl-
pool OF business, and many Of them are
30 deeply involved in the meshes of
avarice that even the strife of politics
seldom attracts their attention. They
live for themselves alone; acquire for
tune and die. There Is no difficulty
found in filling their places, and the
world Is apparently no worse off for
their departure. Run over tho list of
wealthy men who have died in the last
score of years and mark the truth of this
proposition. But there is hope for the
future. The generation of to-day is
cultivating broader spirit than the
generation In which our fathers figured
with prominence. The young men of
the present are profiting by the expert
ences OF their ancestors, and those who
desire to leave names behind that will
live will be prompted 10 do what their
fathers in their greed aud avarice omitted.
A portion of their wealth will be turned
back into public channels to found or
endow benevolent institutions, and to
aid such institutions as arc designed
for the help Of the struggling
masses, who need educated hands as
we'll as brains. The new order of rich
men will appear in due time. Indeed.
we may safely say that it has already
made its appearance. The man with a
million or more to-day is not 80 great a
social force as the man who has given
portion of his wealth to some beneticent
enterprise. Tho names of Peabody,
Cooper and Hopkins will outlive those
Of Astor, Stewart and Vanderbilt. Their
will be more honored for the
public institutions they have founded
than all the rich men in America who
have thus far failed to distinguish them
selves by any act of public beneticencc.
