INDICTMENT OF IRISH REFUGEES.


The indictment of lyman, Walsh and Sheri-
dan by the Dublin Grand jury for murder Will
probably he followed by speedy demand for
their extradition. Two of these men are now
known to be in the United States and there is
every reason to believe that the third, lyman,
is also here. They are indicted for crime
designated in the ExtraditOn clause OF the
Treaty of 1912, and the demand of the British
Government for their surrender must be dis
posed of in accordance with the rigid require
ments of international law. They are charged
with murder aud the evidence of their guilt
must be produced, and it must be "such evil
"dence of criminality as, according to the laws
"Of the place where the fugitive or person SO
acharged shall be fodnd, would justify his APP
apprehension and commitment for trial, II the
@crime or offence had there been committed" 1t
must be evidence sufficient to convict them
here of the crimes of which they are accused,
and if it lie forthcoming it will be the public
duty of the examining Judge OF magistrate tn
acertify the same to!the proper executive author
atty. that warrant may issue for the surrender
- of such fugitives." These are the requirements
of the ExtIaditon clause. We trust that there
will be no disposition on the part OF the United
States Government to shirk their responsibili-
ties nor on the other hand to deal hastily or
uniustly with the accused: The obligation to
surrender a criminal whose guilt can be estab-
iisI,ed must be recognized. AT the same time,
the right of asylum is one that is not to be de-
MED unless the evidence of completely shall be
SO conclusive us to satisfy an American court
The evidence which has been brought to
LIGHT during the recent criminal proceedings In
Dublin bears heavily against only one OF the
three refugees. Walsh has been named by
Carey, tue informer. one OF the originators
of the Assassination Club known as the Irwin
cibles, of which the muiderers of Lord Freder-
ick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke were members.
He is also represented as one of the paymasters
of the assassins, having given Mullett g0'd on
one occasion. The Attorney-General In open
ing the case against Brady made this significant
reference to Sheridan A man named Sheridan,
who had been before the public in other ca
apacities, disguised as priest. and calling hini-
sself Father Murphy was to supply and send
q over arms, and arms came over in large guam
stities, including doggers, knives and surgical
Gknives.n Carey has been responsible for this
charge as well as for the Inference that the
packagc of knives displayed by Brady on the
day before the Phoenix Park assxssiDations had
been provided 10y Sheridan. Tho evidence
against lyman has been more explicit Not
only is he represented by the informers as beng
general paymaster and Walsh's successor In
the supreme direction of the assassination Or
eanixation. but he Is also pointed out BY them

Carey and others joined him at MeCaffrey's

having been executed, he directed tfat the
knives should be destroyed. This Is the IN

disclosed Il would not warrant lie ex'radition

known only to the Dublin officials. Having

What will be the next step in this singular
contest.
MR. SPEAKER CHAPLIN

One of tho most conspicuous failures and dis
appointments of the session Is the Speaker.
Last wear he made creditable record, and his
elevation to the chair this year was regarded
with general satisfaction, since the public had
formed the impression that he was iair,
square, progressive young Democrat VINO wonld
scrupulously respect the rights OF the minority
and use the largo influence of his position 10
prevent vicious legislation.
But the record he has made as Speaker
demonstrates that he is Reform Democrat OF
the bogus brand. He has moro department
than Spinola OF Tin" Campbell, but he is just
AZ narrow and shameless a partisan. His In
augural address contained many sentences or
ethical beauty, but he has done little OF
nothing to make good his words. and
much to give the lie to them. To-day ne ID
known by all those who have watched hiS
course for what he is-a man with veneer OIL
political responsibility who can be depended
upon not to stand in the way OF partisan ras-
caity. Do we pronounce too harsh judy
mentf Let any person who thinks so scan his
action OH the Apportionment bill, after Alr. DE

ference Committee, had the fragrant indecency
Now, il Mr.. Chapin was indeed a man that
loved fair play, that believed that minorItles
had rights MS we'll as majorities, that scorned to
pass measures of large public Importance by
the methods of the political bulldozer, he would
never have sat still and allowed DeWitts
motion to pass But being what he Is,
it suited him to exhibit himself as the
plant tool of Dewitt and Murphy and the
rest, by Offering no opposition to that GROWING
outrage of the session. He either voted
in favor Of the motion or he did not vote
at all-it does not appear which. Nor dld
his inidelity to fair play stop with his re-
fusal to endeavor to prevent the previous
question being ordered. He went step FUR

minority the poor privilege of speaking
two Minutes each in explanation OF their
votes. lie evidently had his orders from
his masters to see to it that the gag was
thoroughly applied, and like true slave of the
ring lie obeyed to the letter. In order that
his conduct on tho bill may be fully APP
preciated it is only necessary to call attention
to one or two additional facts. This report OF
the Conference Committee on the Apportion-
ment bill was to all intents and purposes the
introduction of brand new bill. No opportuni-
ty had been afforded for examining it, although
it was confessedly one of the greatest of the
public measures of the session. This was the
bill that Mr.. Speaker Chaplin, without word OF
protest on his part, allowed to go through
under the party lash every Republican on the
floor having first been gagged by the previous
question.
