Many car load lots Of entries for the
/ National Railway Exposition have already
( been received. The crowds of workmen
engaged in pushing forward the eonsuuc-
ton Of the annexes, and in preparing for
and receiving exhibits. make the eNPosi-
ton building and the adjacent grounds
suggestive Of a bee hive at swarming time.

motives. both ancient and-mOdern, ever
: brought together viii be exhibited nj this

motive builders Of the country Will show
their latest and mos perfect products.

tric and other signal systems will be
shown in operation every day-some of
the companies having secured several
thousand feet Of space each, TO exhibit the
practical working of their system.
The electric features Of the railwayeX-
position will be among the most interest
ing Of all. and will include displays of arc
and incandescent lighting by nearly all
the electric light companies in the Uni
ted states. Several OF these are preparing
10 exhibit on an extensive and almost eX-
trayagant scale. Among the novelties in
this department will be that most remark
able recent discOvery-the storage battery
by means Of which electric energy can
be accumulated in great quantities, stored
for considerable length Of time, carried
long distances, and then used TO transmit
power TO motors to supply electric light,
and for various other purposes.
Mr.. \. p. Swineford. Commissioner Of
Mineral Statistics for Michigan, has for
several weeks been collecting. and will
forward to the railway exposition the
most extensive and interesting collection
Of Ores-especially Of irOn-eyer seen in

Will weigh fully a ton, and the whole eX-
hibit will make several car loads. Very
important collections of ores are also be-
ing made for this department, in Ala
bama. Georgia, Tennessee, etc.
The most eXtravagantly beautiful
effects will reproduced by the introduce
ton Of cOlored electric lighting in and
about the great fountain in the centre Of
the exposition building, creating floods of
gorgeous coloring. This single feature
will insure the attendance of crowds
every night during the railway expOsi-
ton.
The English Commissioner, Mr.. G. d.
Peters, of London, is now ON his way to
the exposition in the steamship Alaska,
and is bringing with him many interest
ing contributions.

our stalwart contemporary. the Phila-
delphia NelrS. m0ralizes thusly: The
Republican party has desired TO do right
toward the c0lored man, and at the North
has done fairly by him. His own weak
ness and lack Of knowledge was partly
the cause Of his trouble at the South.
There We're great difficulties in standing
by him. Public sentiment at the North
became infiamed and hostile, and so
affected the courage Of the party. Fears
a. % the capacity Of cOlOred men at the
south % legislate wisely OF 10 conduct
Offices inspired doubt and uncertainty As
20 the best course 10 be pursued. Out of
ii all came uncertainty and timidity,
which the Democrats took advantage Of
% gain power. This they have abused,
and vet the colored race appear inclined
10 hold the Republican party responsible
Tor their misfortunes. This is wrong.
The responsibility Is largely with them
selves"
our esteemed contemporary knows that
the negro vote is a large factor in the old
fashioned majorities rolled. up for the
grand old party in the Keystone state.
The negro there and elsewhere at the
North Is learning that the Republican
party has no use for him save on election
day. The party has not ''dOne
fairly by him." After declaring
the negro fitted for the responsibilities Of
citizenship, the party gave HIM no recOg-
milton. The talk Of the party's coursge
being affected by infiamed public senti-
ment is sheer humbuggery. The grand
old party always had trife too much
courage. The fact was that there were
not enough offices to 90 around. 1t is all
we'll enough to put a negro in a snug
berth at the South, but the good things at
the North are for the ..trooly loil" only.
Why not put an end to cant and tell the
negro that the grand old party has Ouse
for him: 1t was wicked in the Demo-
Gratis to take advantage Of public uncer-
tainty. dreadfully wicked We noticed,
though. that whenever there was a
chance for good stealing it wasn't
the negro that forged to the front. The
astute carpet-bagger was on hand on
such occasions. If the cOlOred race has
any special misfortune it is the failure of
the ''grand old party to live up to its
professions. This is a responsibility that
the Republicans cannot shirk, and the
negroes are waking up to a knowledge Of
that responsibility. Our stalwart con-
tempOraries are naturally saddened at
the discovery, but they might just a
we'll face the music.

A Very French Horror.

Paris Letter in PhftadeLDhid Bulletin.
There has lust died in the CharentOn
Insane Asylum man named Rousset,
with whom is connected very curious
story. In 1853 ROusset, then aged thirty
seven. assassinated an old gentleman
named DamOurs in order to steal his
yaIuables. ROusset's trial created an i'm
mense sensation and crowds Of spectators
filled the court room, number of whom
we're allowed to seat themselves on the
banch reserved for the accused. ROusset
was what NAV be termed timid villain,
and invariably set with his head hung
down. thus exposing the back of his thick,

EngIish-American Extraditiou

Our eXtraditiOn agreement with Great
Britain is article 10 of the AshburtOn
treaty, which was concluded over forty
years ago, in 1912. The clause is as fol-
lows:
1T is agreed that the United States and
Her Britannia Majesty shall. upon mu-
tual acquisitions by them or their minis
tiers. officers or authorities, respectively
made, deliver up to justice all persons
who, being charged with the crime Of
murder. or assault with intent TO COM
NIT murder, or piracy, or arson, or rob
berry, or forgery, or the utterance Of fOrg-
ed paper. committed within the jurisdic-
ton of either. shall seek an asylum, or
shall be found within the territories of
the other: Provided That this
shall only be done upon such
evidence Of criminaiity as, according
to the laws of the place where the fugi-
tive or persons so 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-
spectiYe Judges and other magistrates of
the two governments shall have power,
jurisdiction and authority, upon CON-
plant made under oath. to issue a war
rant for the apprehension OF the fugitive
or person so charged, that he may
be brought before such judges or
other magistrates, respectively, to
the end that the evidence of
criminality may be heard and considered;
and if, on such hearing, fhe evidence be
deemed sufficient to sustain the charge,
it shall be the duty of the examining
Judge or magistrate to certify the same to
the proper executive authority. that a
warrant NAV issue for the surrender of
such fugitive. The expense Of such APP
prehension and delivery shall be borne
and betrayed by the party who makes the
requisitiOn and receives the fugitive"
Aside from the question as to whether
Sheridan, Walsh and lyman are not
political refugees, the action of Lord
Derby in refusing to surrender the forger
WinslOw, who, we believe, is living in
luxury now at Buenos Ayres, would
Justify the State Department in doing
likewise as to the three alleged ''Invin-
cibles." If they were members Of the
conspiracy at all. the only Offense that
can properly be charged against them is
conspiracy to murder. But the demand
viii have to be made on a charge of
murder, since conspiracy to murder
within the terms of the treaty is not
an eXtraditable Offense. 1t does
not appear that the British authorities
can make out case Of murder against
the three suspects, and it may according
" be assumed that their return to Ireland
will not be speedy, if effected at all. If
they are guilty, they deserve punishment;
but how it is to be melted out to them does
not appear.

Shreye b. Ackley, Of Philadelphia, a
member Of the firm of Work q Co., con-
tractors, Of that city, has sued the New
York Tribune for libel. The libel alleged
grew out Of a suit brought against the
firm by the President Of a street railway
company in Philadelphia. The statement
was contained in a paragraph, which
read: a warrant was also issued to-day
for Shreve b. Ackley, one Of the officers
under tine Work management, but who is
now in prison for hypOthecating property
intrusted TO his care" The article was
headed: Nearly Million Dollars Stolen, 3"
and gave the amount Of bail required
for the Work Brothers as $4,000 instead
Of 5000.
William VI. smith, counsel for Mr.. Ack-
icy. said to a Recod representative, Il
consider this report a malicious and afro
cipus libel. and one without the shadow Of
a justification, for the reason that Mr..
Ackley at the date Of the publication was
in Florida on business connected with
construction company which has the con-
tract for building a railroad in that State
! am informed that the libel has been re-
published in some of the prominent West
ern papers, against which it is our inten-
tiOn 10 proceed at once. In this case we
shall claim damages at not less than $40
