4 CASE FOR CONGRESSIONAL


II appears that in the extradiIion
treaty with Mexico, there is clause pro-
viding that neither government shall be
bound to deliver up It's own citizens un-
der the terms Of the treaty. THIS clause
has caused embarrassment 10 both gov
ernments, and very raturailY, stree it
must constantly happen thar one or the
other Ia required. in the plssn interests
OF justice, 10 do the thing which the
treaty declares by implication shall not
be done. Mot of the trouble with Mex
leo groWs out of frontier disputes and
offences. There are ald long have
been q great many very bad
characters belonging TO both
countries lowering about the border.
These people make raids across the
frontier either way, and out Of these
raids spring demands for extradition.
Now it is certain that both the govern
ments would be quite willing to glYe
.up their border Tufiians for punish
ment by the country whose laws they
have broken, and that such mutual ex
tradition would have wholesome in

THE interview with General Grant pub
lished elsewhere will be read with interest,
and some of its suggestions, at least, will be
received with universal favor. Whatever Gen
eral Grant may have to say on public questions
is worth the carefullest attention. For
t~unately, there are few of those bombastic
b~lackguards left who find enjoyment i'll
denouncing General Grant and In belittling
either his services or his ability. From first
to last the General has signally shown devo-
ton to the country, frequently at the expense
of personal popularity. He neverdisplayed any
of the arts of the demagogue; always had
earnest and sincere convictions, and the
courage of them. We think there is
a steady progress in the country
toward the idea Of a longer term and one
term for the presidency; the suggestion of
Gen. Grant would bring the election at a
time when no other election world interfere
with ii, and there could be no confusion of
national and State issues. The General does
away with the foolish Democratic story
of a concentration of troops in or about
the Capitol during the electoral commission of
1867, but he adds, with that grim deter
mination characteristic of him, ~ intendedto
maintain peace and order at all hazards, q
fact about which there will be no question.
In those troublous times, the danger of which
was never properly apprehended, we scarcely
realize how greatly the country depended upon
the presence of Ulysses S. Grant in the presi-
dental chair for the preservation of peace and
order. His incumbency Of the office was worth
ten thousand men. What the General has
to say on the question of American citizenship
is worthy most serious consideration, ~particu-
larly when he suggests that the investiture of
a foreigner with the rights and immunities of
citizenship should be accompanied with such
ceremony as to make it impressive. AS now
conducted it is worse than a farce, and if there
is any impression left on the newly-made citi-
zen's mind at all, 1t is that Americans
themselves have no regard for their citizen
ship, and, therefore, he need not have any.
AS we approach the period of another general
election, all over this country will be witnessed
thousands of scenes that should put every
honest man to blush and forever close our
mouths to pratings about the greatness and
glories OF American citizenship. There is no
one thing in which radical reform is more
needed than this.

$40, 900. The Doctor was a believer in spiritu-
alism, and directed that his property should be
applied to the building and maintenance of a
hall or church to be used for the propagation of
his favorite doctrines. He was not, however, it
appears, sc firmly fixed in the faith as his
brethren could have wished, and evidently
thought he might learn something to his ad-
vantage after he had entered tho spirit land.
With due precautions, therefore, he inserted in
his will a clause providing that his estate should

THE report of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections is very temperately
drawn, and, on account of its guarded Ian
guage, may easily be misunderstood Yet,
while there is no attempt to make political
capital, no disposition to 'wave the bloody
shirt" its conclusions are unmistakable. In
a calm, dignifed manner the committee calls
attention to the lawlessness that has disgTaced
certain portions of Mississippi, organized by
representative young Democrats, with the
countenance Of that party "to
drive their opponents from the polls" In
accomplishing this. a mob gathered and a
prominent white man was murdered in Copiah
county. and the evidence shows that, during
all this time, the Democratic State and coun-
ty officers remained passive, and thus allowed
tie election to be turned into a mockery. The
suggestion of the committee is that the right
to vote be enforced in all sections of the coun-
try-in Louisiana as we'll as in Indiana; that
congressman be honestly elected, without
fraud, intimidation or violence. In seeking
to avoid the imputation Of partisan prejudice
and bias, the committee has almost sinned in
the opposite direction, III not rising to the
enoFnity Of the oifense against popular gov

AT the moment when the vote was to be
taken on the Morrison bill a voice cried out:
"Clark, see that no scoundrel who is paired
goes between the tellersw The man who gave
utterance to these words was not a bartender
nor ''slugger," though it is evident enough
that he was a bully, possessed of coarse and
brutal instincts. 1t is q shameful thing that
a man can stand up in the halls of Congress
and thus insult not only those present but
the great people who chose them as its law
makers. Congressman Morrison, the raw
head-and- bloody-bones legislator from Illinois,
must have been terribly wrought up at the
moment When his pet bill was about to drop
to its death. What must be thought of a
man who could 50 unpardOnably offend the
dignity of Congress2 The marvel at the
crudeness of the bill he drew disappears-a
butcher would remove a cataract from an eye
by gouging out the eye. The trouble with the
average Democratic congressman is that
he mistakes the ability to make a ~ten-cent
sophomore speech for qualifications that go to
make craftsmanship. With the ability to
crowd, cheat, squeeze or bully his way to
Washington, he never gets above petty
maneuvering, and never loses sight of the lit
tie constituency that elected him, and beyond
the narrow bounds of whose district he knows
nothing and cares nothing. In the company
of gentlemen and legislators, Mr.. Morrison is
out of place. The bill on which he staked his
reputation and nearly wrecked his party was
one of the cheapest p~ettifogging pleas for
popularity ever devised, while his bullying
disposition marks him as unfit to associate
with those whom he has so w~antonly and 80
grossly insulted.
