to be hoped that the statutes of the
state contain provisions which will facili-
tate his early entrance and lifelong con-
hnemcnt in tho penitentiary. If such
crimes have been committed let us hope that
all, of whatever degree, who share in the
guilt will be duly punished. But, on
the other hand, the we'll known vigor
of Gen. Butler in his favorte character
of Nemesis, and theunreliability Of discharged
servants and of offended paupers and persons
of diseased minds as witnesses, may well give
us pause before we enter verdict in advance
of the defense. However horrid may be tho
truth, it is to be regretted that it cannot be
ascertained without the personal and active
aid Of the governor of the state, acting as q
prosecutor, and its revolving details are not
worthy of the space assigned to them in the

The following statements may safely be r.

The following statements may safely be re-
garded as automatic;
No man of whatever nationality will ever
he surrendered by the United States govern
mont to any other power because of any act
done by him IN this country.
American citizens in England cannot be
called to account there for anything done by
them in the United States but British sub
jects may.
American citizens can be dealt with in Eng
land for any violation of law in that country,
Fugitives from England to this country,
who arc charged with crimes committed
there, will be surrendered on proper demand,
if the crime charged is ono of those provided
for in the extraditon treaty. Political of
fenses are not included, and political offenders
have the right Of asylum in this country
Since the repeal Of the odious alien and Sc
diton laws, in 1901, there has not been, and is
not likely to be, any federal legislation to
forbid the free expression in this country OF
sympathy with revolutions against tyranny
in other countries. Our government is not
committed by such expressions.

Concerning Republican Harmony.

There can be no doubt that tho democratic
party is in a minority in the United States.
But IL is compact minority, and as active
and constant to its purposes as original sin.
Tho opponents of the democratic party are
not all republicans, nor are all republicans
active and jealous partisans. Tho ropubli-
can party is made up of elements rallying
around several public questions, and of tho
admirers of several conspicuous leaders II
is not certain whether the attachment
TO men or TO measures is tho strong
est political motive. Certain it is
that tho democratic party will march
to an easy victory unless the several elements
of the republican party, and all others who are
opposed TO democratic restoration, can, with
good temper land with higher aim than the
nero qualification of self-will, "pool their is
sues" Can this be done? Can the men who
have been banded together in favor of union,
liberty, manhood suffrage, FREQ education, n
tariff which exalts American FREQ labor, a
uniform currency convertible into coin,
honesty to public creditors, purity of admin
istration, and tho improvement of the
civil servicc-can these men stop quar-
reling over the respective merits of
men, stop calling each other stalwarts and
half-brecds, and stop wrangling over tho al
ways endless question of "who began it?"
Can the papers protesting to be republican
make truce and all agrco that angSy
words growing out of fierce political con-
had never boon spoken? Cannot all re-
publicans recognize in the President a safe
and fair moderator for the meeting Of the
hitherto stormy elements? Is any republi-
can really more hostile to other republicans
than ho is to the democracy2 And if there is,
can he not look beyond tho fourth of March,
1885, and see how differently he would then
feel?
There has not been a factional struggle in
tho party since 1865 which it would not be
we'll to give to oblivion. There is not one
the discussion of which does not make more
difficult tho republican party situation. The
shortcomings of our public mon only prove
them human. Why should such topics en-
gage the half dozen millions of men who ought
20 be schooling themselves to the generous
task Of waiving personal preferences for the
sake of country and mankind? The day of
triumph or of doom for tho republican cause
and all that it represents in the shape of free
government, majority rule, and material prog.
ress is coming on apace. If the sharp voice Of
faction is hushed, and republicans turn away
from fighting republicans and devote Their
attention to the common enemy, we can
nightly prevail.

Rice Decision.


The following is tho full text of the Treas
ury department decision in regard to the
importation of granulatod rice. The ques-
tions at issue were considered and decided by
Secretary Folger, although the letter an
nouncing the decision was signed by Acting
Secretary New:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE sEcRB
IASYt WASHINGTON, ID. G., April 20, 1So3-CoL-
LECToR OF CUSTOMS, New YoRK--,Sir: The depart
ment duly received your letter of the twenty ninth
ultno, submitting the appeal of Il. w. Simons
from your assessment of duty at the rate Of 215
cents pound on certain SO. called "rce meal, or
gTanulated rice" imported per Arizona, March
l3, 1855. The merchandise in question Is
made from broken aud small grains of
grains in the process Of cleaning rice is ground
into course granulcs and is devoted mainly to
brewers use In the manufacture of beer. The duty
was assessed under The provisionsin schedule Il
for cleaned rice while the importers contend that
the article Is dutiablo only ut the rate Of 20 per
cent, as n non-enumemtod manufactured article,
not otherwise provided for. From the papers and
samples submitted the department is convinced
that in n commercial sense the article is not rice
IL Is product of rice in the same sense that
hominy is product Of corn. II is not enumerated
in the law nor specially provided for.
Tho similitude clause In section 2l09, Revised
Statutes, docs not apply SO as to place 1t in the
category with rice, as that clause Is construed by
tne united states supreme court, In the cases le
ported in 16 Howard, United States Reports, l6O,
lO3 United states Reports, 4jsi, and unoer proofs
in this case. Hence the article is duitable at the
rate claimed by tho appellants, under section
2Sl6, Revised Statutes. You viii readIust the EN-.
try accordingly.
This decision will apply only TO this case, and
TO ctses for which 1t may be n fair precedent, and
care Will be taken by tie appruising officers 10 see

The Plague at PcnsncoIn.

A gulf coast man, whose interest led him
to inquire with great diligence and particu-
larity into the action of the cabinet in the
matter of sanitary aid to Pensacola, says the
account given was wide of the facts. Instead
of discussing the question of whether the ma
tional beard of health should have charge of
tho epidemic fund or not, the cabinet dis
cusscd n report made to the secretary of the
treasury last Tuesday by DIR. Hamilton, sur
gcon general of the marine hospital service,
made by him after visit TO Pensacola. In
his report he favored the giving OF aid by the
government to the local board of health to
enable it to thoroughly overhaul the city,
have old bedding destroyed and infectious
localities cleaned out, as might seem adyisa-
BILE after the experience with the yellow fever
there last year. Tho report at first met with
approval, there being no question as to the
vulnerability Of Pensacola rs starting point
for the disease; but on mature thought it was
seen that the question was too broad; that
government aid to the local board of health at
Pensacola, might mean incalculable repet-
tions of the same for other places; that 1t
would be precedent fraught with future pos
sibilities of difficult nature, and SO il was
determined not to apply the epidemic funds
of tho government to aiding the local board
of Pensacola TO guard against yellow fever.
1t was determined to take charge of quaran-
tine regulations at that port, but when this
offer was made it was declined by the local
authorities there.

ChIef Examiner IkeIm.

The appointment of Mr. Kcm to be the chief
examiner to the civil service commission was
made upon the unanimous request of the
commission, wheroupon thero is mild howl
in the air to the effect that the mild howlers
consider their prerogative invaded by tho
commission. The howlors say it is all very
well to have board of civil service commits
sioners to regulate the admission TO tho civil
service, and that the board is very ablo
especially in its head; but tho howlers
wanted the reform SO conducted that they
might have in1ooence," and be the Muldoons
and Mulhoolcys themselves. If Mr.. Eaton
and his fellow commissioners are really going
to act for themselves, instead of taking orders
from the howlers, the latter simply wish to
know how much better, for their business,
reform is going to bo than bossism. The New
York Times, one of the ablest Of tho howlers,
thus remarks:
II Is with extreme reluctance that wo find in
the first official act ofthe commissioners evidence
of singular weakness of Judgment and an almost
grotesque lack of practical talent. "
We are panied to have to admit that Mr.. Eatons
ability to do the great work given him seems,
in this instance, TO be in inverse ratio to his del
ity.
The Philadelphia Press, newer member of
the howlors, and therefore more clamorous,
thus walls:
President Arthur had practically no choice but
to accept the nomination ofchief examiner made
| by the civil service reform commission, but its
election of De B. Randolph Keim is Incompetent
sible. He has been for years the supporter OF the
spoils system, prohted by it, and made a boast oi
his influence under 1t. He has no known SYM
| pathy with the reform and no known qualihca-
| tions for It's practical administration.
The times are out of joint. The President
should have appointed the editors of the
Times and Press on the civil service commits
sion, or else he should have consulted them,
instead of Messrs. Eaton, Gregory, and Tho.
man, in his selection of chief examiner.
What roaring farce it is for these great
reform organs to kick against the first act OF
the commission which they proclaimed in
advance to be so much wiser and worthier OF
confidence than President, cabinet officers,
and senators and representatives combined.
1t never seems to occur to these gentlemen
that perhaps the general public may have
more confidence in the opinion entertained oi
Mr.. Kcim by tho commissioners than it will
| in theirs

10000 inhabitants of Washington will still
stand 10 the contrary. That tho price
charged is outrageous tho largo surplus of
about 81, 100000 which is to be distributed
May absolutely proves If other proofwcre
necessary the fact that better gas is furnished
in Baltimore for just half the price would be
sufficient.
Tho commissioners arc still considering Mr..
Bailey's request for permission to lay larger
mains. Let them refuse it utterly unless the
company makes the concessions demanded.

have it done by competing company than

Chorues ON Imported pIerchnndise.

The acting secretary of the treasury has
issued a circular to custom officers in regard
to charges ON imported merchandise 1t is
as follows;
This department is informed that in Ger.
tain instances, on the importation of wool
into the United States, the costs and charges
specified In the invoice have been fraudu-
lently increased above the usual rates with
view to diminish the dutiable value of the
wool under the provision of the tariff act Of
March B. 1883, abolishng duties on charges
and the departments regulations allowing
the deduction Of charges specified in invoice.
II is possible that similar practices may be
resorted to in the case of importations other
than of wool. Appraising officers are there
fore directed TO scrutinize carefully invoices
specifying charges 70 be deducted from the
invoice value, aud if in any case they shall

Southern Liberal Coalitions.

The liberal movement in One south appears
to have vitality enough to command good
deal of space in the bourbon press. II is also
deemed Of sufficient consequence by tho
enemy TO render it desirable to make mis-.
representations of tho attitude of the
administration toward it. The admin
istration is against the bourbon dcmoc-
racy and all its works, and is in heartiest
political accord with those who arc
for the uprooting Of bourbonism. The coali-
tions in Virginia and North Carolina are
ments of great national Importance, and they
will have in the future, as in the past, all
proper support and encouragement at his
hands Independent anti-bourbon congress-
mon, like the six in Virginia, tho three in
North Carolina, and Chalmers in Mississippi
are regarded as tho pioneers of COM
pleto restoration In the south, and all
earnest republicans look upon them as
worthy Of respect and confidence. The false
statements that so out to the contrary are
from bourbon sources and arc intended to
deceive and discourage the men who arc en-
gagged in a bold, manly, and patriotic revolt
against bourbon tyranny. We caution our
southern friends, both republicans and libor-
ais, to give no heed to the mischief makers
who, for obvious motives, put in circylation
caIso toles of nm friendly NNords snokcn hcrn nj
southern liberal leaders.

Prof Bandoller's Capture Not Credited.

The report that Prof A. +. Bandelier, of
the American Archaeological institution, had
been captured by Apaches on the nineteenth
instant in the Mexican state of Sonora, is not
credited by scientists in this city. They say
that Prof. Bandelier is man eminently capa-
able of taking care of himself, and though
enthusiastically devoted to his profession is
cautious and prudent. Moreover, they don't
believe that he was in that section of the
country. Maj. Powell, with whom Prof. Ban
deior was at one time connected, says he has
no confidence whatever in the story.

Butler at Tewlsbury,

1t seems to us that we are getting an undue
supply of news from Tewksbury. Tcwks-
bury is town five miles from the city of
Lowell, famous as tho residence of Gen. BEN
iamin i. Butler, in the state of Massachll-
sets, famous as the residence of many enc
mics Of that lively and distinguished por-
sonago. There is in Towksbury an aims
house, which appears also TO be q hospital and
an insane asylum. II is under the direction
of the state board OF charities, and has u
superintendent named Marsh who is evil
IDENTIFY regarded by Gen. Butler with
some degree of dstrust Accordingly
an investigation Of that institution is
being conducted by Gen. Butler in person,
after tho well known manner and with the
thoroughness for which the general is re-
nowned. Thus far only the prosecution has
been heard, and from the testimony elected
from the friends of former inmates and from
former servants now out of employment ID
would seem that the pastimo of the nurses
has been to fight and generally to maltreat
the unfortunates intrusted to their care while
living, and their habit to hurry some of them
to their death in order that thrift might fol-
low the rapid delivery of thom to Harvard
medical students for the dissecting

The Case OF Deputy Collector Wright.

Secretary Folger said yesterday that the
subject of the removal of Deputy Collector
Wright, of Chicago, had never been mentioned
at a session of the cabinet. That the Treas
ury department had approved the action of
Collector Spalding in making tho removal.
He also said that Deputy Collector Wright was
charged with official misconduct, and taeitly
admitted the truth of the charges by making
no defense. One Of the charges against him
was that he had made false measurements of
vessels, and another was that he was con-
stantly in debt to his subordinates for bor-
rowed money.

THE proceedings of the Irish national con-

ordered and impressive. They go far to an
swer the common assertion that the Irish
could not adapt themselves to a popular
representative government. Their conven-
tion, made up of excitablo and conflicting
elements, was controlled by rules and parlia-
mentary force which would have reflected
credit on tho house of representatives or tre
house q commons. The Irish are much filter
