The American people do not and will
not countenance the men who, in the
name OF Ireland, are engaged in secret
forms of murder and assassination by
dynamite, but they will never consent to
the extradition OF those who profess TO be
in sympathy with the dynamiters and who
encourage them and cheer them on in
their cowardly and dastardly work. Eng
land in this has set the world an ex-
ample the United States will not be slow
to follow. She has always refused to sur
render the political refugees from France,
Germany and Russia who, in London,
plotted the assassination of the monarchs
of those countries. She has declared
time and again through her Foreign Of:ce
that she drew the line at political crimes
and refused to surrender men whose
offenses were due to their patri-
etic wish to change the form of their
government. The Irish exiles in the
United States desire the freedom OF their
country, and but few OF them believe in
the ridiculously criminal methods of the
dynamiters who blow up the homes and
property and endanger the lives OF people
-nneent of the expressions they profess
TO <. ran under. But even these, accord
ing to England's construction of interns-
tional obligation, are only guilty of politi-
cal crimes and cannot be extradited or in
terfered with by the government of the
United States. England in default of this
will no doubt, however, do as she has
always done, take vengeance on the peo-
pie whose expressions make such crimes
possible. But meanwhile, Irishmen who
do not believe in this cowardly method of
warfare should do all they can to suppress
i, especially if they are anxioust to deserve
the continued good opinion and sympathy
Of the world.

The English newspapers are justly very
severe in their condemnation of the circu-
lar recently issued in this country, in
which it was asserted that the Princess of
Wales had personal partiality for Law
renee Barrett, the tragedian. There is
not woman in England's realms
more respected or held in higher
esteem by the British public than
the princess, whose life has been pure
and blsmeless and above suspicion.
The irsinuation OF the circular is in
famous, and we do not wonder that Mr.
Barrett is tearing his hair over it, and
fears very churlish reception in London
on account of it. He may well moan and
groan, especially if the statement of the
Cleveland PLaindedler he true, that the
matter was originally printed in the Plain
de tter, that Mr.. Barrett's manager saw il
before publication that he corrected the
proof, and that, after publication, copies
were printed in that office for Mr.. Bar
rett's manager, who wanted to send the
stuff to the American critics for publica-
ton. This would seem to smash the
theory set no by Mr.. Barrett in the New
York Tribune, that the circular was issued
by so'ue malicious person in this country
who sought to iniure his Mr.. Barrett's)
reputation.

HELENA, ARK. March 3.-Mr. T. J.

Another fire occurred in the city to-day,

$500, with S400 insurance.
The river rose in the last twenty-four
hours, ending at - o'clock to-day, two
inches, bringing it to the high water mark
of 1888. Since II o'clock it has remained
stationary, and we now hope that the

The New York World, the only misce.
genation organ in the Union, is trying to
bully the Democratic party into opposi-
tion to the Morrison tariff-reform bill
This will not do. The Democrats of the
West and South can neither be frightened
nor cajoled by the political managers or
presses OF New York City, which even
with platform to suit them are not to be
relied upon-as witness the "seH out'' of
Hancock. We believe the rank and file
OF the Democratic party OF New York
State is in sympathy with that of the other
states, and that the very moderate and
conservative bill proposed by Mr.. Nor
rison is as acceptable to them as to their
fellow-Democrats of other sections of the
country. There must not be any such
thing as cowardly trimming and veering to
suit any OF the cliques of New York City
politicians. To win in the Presidential
contest the Democratic party has only TO
be true to itself, true to its traditional
policy of free trade. Let us make the is
sue asquare one-the Democratic party is
opposed to monopolies by tariff or other
wise; the Republican party has heretofore
and will hereafter, whenever it has the
power, perpetuate monopolies by tariff
and otherwise.

WASHINGTON, February sS.-1 see from

lates, ere securing powers from tobacco
men to act as attorneys in getting the re-
bate allowed by the act of the last Con-
gress repeating the tobacco tax. AS this
is almost downright robbery, 1 went to
the Treasury Department and Mr.. Rogers,
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue, furnished me with blanks and rules
prepared by the Treasury for the use q

that every case in the United
States, where rebate WIS due
had passed The office OF the
Commissioner last November and been
sent to the Fifth Auditor, and they had
been audited for payment in that office
l then went to Judge Tarbell, Deputy
First Comptroller, where all the cases now
| are, and he informed me that the claims
are now being examined and passed upon
| by the clerks as fast as it is possible, and
, that whenever case is passed, the war
rant at once issues; and is seIit to the
claimant. He says the cases are taken uI
in order, and as fast as the routine
business of the office will permit
| are disposed of, and that a thousand
lawyers could not hurry up a case one
minute. It will be several months before
| the Comptroller can get through all the
| cases, but each one is paid as soon as fin
| ished. / do not know, nor did the Comp
trolier, what position the cases in youl
country hold as to numbers, but he in
formed me that no distinction had been
or would bs made ~ to sections or partic
lar ca5es, as each would be taken up con
secutively as the number was reached. AL
| the officials assured me that no attorney
| was necessary in these cases, and it was 6
mere waste OF money to employ one
You can readily see this is true by wha
| Mr.. Rogers told me, as the cases are
settled in the office OF the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, and all hace beer
! settled. In every claim against the govern
ment, one OF the auditors and one of tht
comptrollers have to examine the cast
