THE Emo extradition case is still
dragging along in the Quebec courts,
but it is becoming more apparent
every day that the case is not an ex-
traditable one. That the crime COM
mitted by Emo is fragrant enough no.
bodily will deny, but unfortunately
the treaty does not cover it and that
ends the matter. As embezzlement is
becoming the most fashionable of all
American crimes the United States
government should take prompt
measures to have it included in the
list of extraditionable ofenses at the
earliest opportunity. 1t isn't worth
while to cry over the milk that is
split, but measures should be taken to
make the extradition dish hold more

THE little fasco with General But
Ter at Harvard last year and the re-
fusal to confer the honorary degree of
L. L. D. upon him, simply because he
was Governor, has had a good effect
1t appears to have effectually killed q
bad custom. Nothing was heard this
year of giving the same degree to
Governor Robinson.
The Governor rode over to the
commencement in state at the head of
the .Lancers, as has been done time
out of mind, and the same kind of
routine speeches were made, in the
same way that has been common for
a century or two. But no honorary
degree was conferred and Governor
Robinson crossed back over the bridge
as plain Robinson as when he left
the gilaed dome.
This indicates a commendable pro-
gress at Harvard. Nogood reason ever
existed for comforting such a degree
even when Harvard bore a much
closer relation to the Common wealth
and none at all can be found now
that the college has an existence of its
own and is dependent on the state for
nothing but its good will.
If colleges are to take up every ac-
cident of politics and give him the
honors which of right belong only to
broad scholarship, great ability and
high character they naturally become
so cheapened as to render them value
less. Tt is quite desirable to keep a
few things out of the reach of uniyer-
sal suffrage and college honors are
entitled to be among them.

main end in going there, they replied,

THE timber interests of the world
are reported to be in bad way, the
demand for lumber everywhere being
in excess of the supply. The forests
of Sweden and Norway have been
dra wn upon to excess; those of north
ern Russia fail to meet the demands
even of ST. Petersburg; the 100000
acres of woodland in Germany pro-
duce lumber of poor quality; the
timber lands of Bohemia, Gallicia and
Pennsylvania are not easily accessible;
the shores of the Adriatic are bare :;
Great Britain has no merchantable
lumber worth mentioning, and the
forests of Central Africa are too re-
mote to give supply. The aggregate
woodland of Europe is estimated at
500, 000,0 900 acres, or about so per cent
of the area of the continent. Under
the circumstances, it would be the
proper thing for the people of the
United States to husband their timber
lands to the last degree.

Strange Imprisonment.
New York Times.

The strange Imprisonment of poor
Donaldson under the State of Florida's
capsized boat has had several paral-
lels in the history Of modern ship
wrecks, the most remarkable of which
was an occurrence which took place
off the Sicily islands some years ago.
A small coasting vessel was capsized
by squall in the open sea. all the
crew perishing except the mate and
four men, who happened to be below
at the time. The latter, cooped up in
utter darkness, without food or water.
foated about in the inverted vessel
for two days and two nights, expect
ing death every moment. Had not
two of the men, who still retained
some presence of mind, succeeded in
beating in partition, and thus en-
larging their space, they must have
all been stifed. The mate. in his des-
peration, tried to cut through the
ships planklng with his knife, but
the blade broke before he could sue
ceed-a fortunate accident, as it aft
erward proved, the part through
which he was cutting being at the
time below the water level. Atlength
the wreck went ashore on the beach
of ST. Mary's island, ans was instant
ly surrounded by gang of fishermen.
Their shouts to each other were an
swered by a hoarse, unearthly cry
from within the stranded vessel, at
which the nearest man ran back af-
frigted; but his holder comrades,
guessing at once how matters stood,
fastened at once to break open the
hull A hole was soon cut and the
imprisoned men, by this time in the
last stages of exhaustion, were drawn
forth and Hospitality cared for.

HE KISSED HIS KID.
But the Thief Spirit Remained to Ex-

New York Graphic.


"Oh, Bill, but I'm glad to see YOU!
kiss the kidm
A girl of Is, with an infant in her
arms. said this to one of two raffish
young men who walked off a ferry
boat on the New York side the other
day.
The young man addressed seemed
glad Of the meeting, kissed the girl and
the child, AID said to the other man,
who only nodded to the girl and moved
sullkily away;
iii see the boys tonight, Patsy"
No, he WON'T" said the girl, going
up close to the other man. Not to-
night nor tomorrow, nor never again
if l can keep him from it. I've got
good ,.onest work for him, an he's
goin' 10 do it, an you and your
s"henlln' gang can steal for your
selves"

sure you're not goin' with that lot
again? They got you in trouble be-
fore an they'll do it again. For the
love of God, don't, Bill; come an stay
home with me-"
The thief just off the island walked
briskly away With the girl, but his
keen, foxy eyes would steal after the
man they had left.
AS they turned into the labyrinth
of streets by Cherry the man Patsy
stopped loungingly to hold up a lamp
post, and as he looked after the others
the grim grin of deviIish evil that
lighted up his face and told Of conf
dent power would have done credit 10

THE LETTERS OF ACCEPT
ANCE.

The letters of Hons. James @.
Blaine and John A. Logan are in
deed the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people. Mr.. Blaine's letter
somewhat surprised the Demo-
cratic press of this country by his
mild manner in dealing with the Is
sues of the day. Gen. Logan's
letter meets the approval of the
great soldier element and the COL
ored voters OF this country. 1t
has been Gen. Logan's theme from
the time he entered the Republi-
can party to defend the rights OF
the colored people. So far as the
colored people are concerned, they
are satisfied with both letters of
acceptance, and are prepared and
willing to perpetnate the exist
ence of the Republican party.

remarks relative to the lady prin-

scorn to resort to such dishonor-
able methods as officially preju-
dicing in advance, and encourag-
ing INSTRUMENTATION in a teacher,

No, it was Mr.. Brooks work,
who so far overreached his unsus-
pecting colleagues as to make
them in part responsible for his
cowardIy attack upon a lady who
never harmed him in any way,
and who has among her many
friends those whom he (Brooks)
does not like, but being too coward
ly to attack them he strikes at a
woman, and enlists the services
of a professor (0 to aid him, who,
after serving his master, is turned
adrift with his gripsack of creden-
tials given, doubtless, as in the
case of DR.. Purvis, to get rid of
him. Mr.. Dart should carry with
him, in connection with his dismis-
sal by Trustee Brooks, his letter
of suspension by Superinte ndent
Cook for disohedience and insub-
ordination, then his collection of

nothing better was expected from
man whose highest ambi-

who is never happier than when
