International Extradition-The Mexican
Train Robbery Case.

Some timo in the month OF November last
body OF armed men In masks attacked and
endeavored to rob q treasure train on tho
Mexican National Railroad In tho republic of
Mexico, about twenty miles south OF the
frontier town OF Laredo In tho State OF Texas.
The attempt was unsuccessful, because the
engine overthrow and swept aside the OBJ
structions which tho robbers had placed upon
The track. The niiscreants. however, made
second attack upon another train Immediately
following, threw it from the line bv dis
placing d rail. killed the fireman, wounded
the engineer. injured a number OF passen-
gers, and robbed the express CDR Of about
5000 In bullion.
This occurrence has given rise to an i'm
portant question under the extradition treaty
between the United States and Mexico.
Not long after the robbery, one Of the par
Elephants surrendered himself to tho Mexican
authorities, confessed his share In the crime
and implicated number OF other persons
therein, among whom was ono ALEXANDER
TRIMDLE, citizen Of tho United States.
TRIMDLE being In Texas, tho Mexican au-
thoritics demanded that he should be de-
livorcd up to them to DO dealt with according
to the laws OF that country. Ho was
taken into custody by tho United
States Marshal, who telcgraphed to tho
Secretary OF State, asking whether hc had any
authority to hold tho prisoner, and whether
he should release him. Mr.. FRELINaHUYsEN
answered that II TRIMBLE was an American
citizen, no was not subject to extradition, and
could not lawfully be held for that purpose.
The Senate has recently called upon the
President for oil the facts In the case. and
the desired information has been communi-
Gated to that body In an executive message,
transmitting O communication from Mr.
FRHLINGHuYsEN, which gives tho reasons
for his action, and refers to the legal authori.
ties that sustain 1t.
The existing treaty between tho United
States and Mexico provides that the contract
ing parties shall deliver up to justice persons
who, being accused OF certain enumerated
crimes committed within the jurisdiction Of
the requiring party, shall seek an asylum OF
shall be found within tho territories OF the
other party.
It also contains the following provision:
-Re,thsr OF the contracting parties shall he bound Il

OF our Northern Pine and spruce forests.
They cannot. with tho present ratio OF oon-

and yet we hasten their destruction by main
tanning an excessive and unproductive duty

The Recollections Of q Carpet-BaGger.

The RecolIections Of q Carpet. Dagger.
HAMILTON JAY went to Florida from New
Jersey after the war. He held Office under
the reconstructed State Government, and
was for Q time Postmaster OF Jacksonville
Mr.. JAY IL writing for THE SUN the recollec-
tons OF oarpet-bagger. His letters are
both entertaining and Instructive. Their In
terest Is enhanced by the skill OF the writer,
but their value ID In their self-evident truth.
Mr.. JAY was himself . carpet-bsgger. and
writes what he knows, and signs 1t with bis
own name.
He depicts the acts OF the Northern adven-
Jurors who iooked to Florida after the war
with startling vividness. Their record Is the
record OF their kindred In North and South
Carolina. The State Treasury was openly
plundered. and the stufflng Of ballot box
was OF small account. II do not believe"
says Mr.. JAY in the letter printed to-day,
"thcre has been an election In Florida since
tho war but what the Republicans have
stuffed ballot boxes, intimidated voters. and
done everything In their power to prevent o
FREQ expression of the will OF the people"
In preventing the free expression OF the
will OF the people OF Florida these rascals
prevented tho free expression OF the will OF
the people OF the United States. 1t was by
the purchase Of their lniquity that WILLIAM
Z. CHANDLER and others established fraud
ulent President In the White House. Like
their brethren In Louisiana. they wore for
sale to the highest bidder. STEARNs, DEN
MS, and others were rewarded with Federal
Offices by the creature they made President.
Mr.. JAY reveals simply their home life and
the quality Of their consciousness.

joice at their useful disclosures. Tho COL

From fAe Rolton Herald.

There are cases where 1t might DO emil

forests as matter OF public policy The pur-
chase by the State Of Now York OF the Adron-
dack forests Is such case. The flow OF the
Hudson River and the pormanency Of the Erie
Canal depend upon these forests. Their preser-
vation. therefore. Is important to the whole
State. and there would be no Improperly in

A bill to admit Bibles and hymn books into
the United States free OF duty has been in
troduced into the House Of Representatives
by Mr.. JOHN NJ. TAYLOR OF Tennessee. Tho
text OF the proposition is as follows:
THAT much OF the act of Congress approved March
s. 1885, as imposes tax duty tho importation Of
Bibles and hymn books be and the same " hereby
reaed and from and after the passage Of this act said
books shall be admitted FREQ Of duty"
So far as tho Biblo is concerned wo should
DO glad to SEQ the restriction removed. II
any books arc to come in duty free. the
Bible ought to be among them.
The case in favor Of the hymn books, how
over. is by no means equally plain.
We see no reason to encourage tho produc-
ton or importation Of foreign hymn books.
The Bible is O great work In q literary and
historical sense. as well as In Its religious
aspect, and cannot be too widely circulated
or too well known throughout tho earth. No
hymn book should be classed with It, There
arc many hymns which cannot be admired,
either as works OF literature or religion. and
many collections In which such inferior pro-
auctions predominate. Why should VIC "a
ciltate tho admission OF these volumes into
the country while we maintain duty on
any books
Whatever may be said In favor OF remov-
ing the duty on Bibles, there seems no rca-
son to disturb the existing impost 30 far as
IL relates to hymn books.

can only Affect lumber produced In q few OF
tho Northern States, where tho manufacture
Of lumber Is not young and struggling in
dustry, and whore tho manufacturers OF lum-
Der as class, need the aid OF protection loss
per. ups than any other. Tho manufacture
OF Southern pine will be no more influ-
enccd by tho removal OF tho duty
upon Canadian lumber than tho manufacture
OF redwood In California or white oak In
Virginia will DO influenced by it. The South
has already large and growing market for
Its pine lumber, which is now sent all over
the world; but 1t must not expect that 1t
can ever replace Northern pine and spruce
In cheap construction, or that the Southern
forests can ever become as important factors
In the development OF tho country as the
forests OF the North have been. When these
arc gone wo must turn to California, Oregon,
and Washington Territory for sugar pine,
redwood, or tho fir OF Puget Sound as SUBJ
stitutes for our Eastern pine and spruce, and
not to the South, where no substitutes for
these woods grow. The South therefore,
need feel no anxiety about the removal of
this duty. 1t Is question which affects tho
North, and not the South.
The placing OF iron and coal upon the free
list Ia an entirely different question from
placing lumber upon tho free list. because
the forests Of the country do something
more than furnish lumber. Their existence
is absolutely essential to the we'll being OF the
| nation. entirely apart from their productive
capacity. There is, therefore, every reason
why they should be husbanded, and that
there should be as little temptation as pos
sible for men to cut them down.
