talk with him about his trip. He
reports business as. on the whole,
in prosperous condition, though
there is some depression in the
iron industry on account of over
production. The iron mills en-
braced in the Western Association
have closed for a period of six
weeks from Dec. Doth, to get rid OF
surplus stock.

THE story is told in Paris of an Ameri-

deputed, as being the best French scholar
in her party, to make arrangements for
their accommodation. She did her best
which was a long way short of perfection
but the clerk did not catch her mean

Finally, in desperation, she said slowly,

"THB duty Of the hour" says the
Houston Post sis to sustain and
strengthen the action of the extra SEES
sion, and so handle public sentiment as
to crystalize 1t in support Of the policy
inaugurated for the suppression of law
lessness and the protection of property.
The laws enacted may not be perfect, in
a remedial sense, or even the best that
human wisdom could devise, but they
are the result Of 30 days anxious and
earnest work by the peoples chosen re-
representatives., and are the best as well
as the only legislation given us by the
law makers. Whether sufficient for the
emergency is not question for the
press and leaders Of the people to con-
slider. The question is, shall the rem
edy be sustained and enforced, or shall
we have another year Of fence cutting,
grass burning and blood letting. The
remedy rests on three propositions: !.
No man shall fence land not his own. 2.
No man shall be Inconvenience for the
want Of roads and outlets. 3. No man
shall cut, injure or destroy the property
Of another. These propositions seemed
to be the full measure Of the public de-
mand, and as they were formulated and
given to the country with enforcing ma
chinery and adequate penalties, it is the
duty Of the press and all classes to ao-
cept them and uphold the administra-
ton and the oonstabulary in an earnest,
faithful and vigorous effort to give them
force and effect"

WASHINGTON, February 13.-The Preis-
dent has sent to the Senate report from
the Secretary Of State with regard to the
case Of Alexander Trimble, whose extra
dition was demanded by the Government
Of Mexico, but who was, after corre-
spondenoe upon the subject, discharged
by the American authorities. The Sec
rotary, in his report, holds that, accord
ing to his construction Of the laws, an
American citizen cannot legally be held
under the treaty with Mexico for extra
dition, but he proposes to inform the
officers in Texas that If another arrest is
made and guilt is clearly made out, the
President will not, on the ground of citi-
zenship, interfere with the order of sur
render, If such be made, but will require
that the accused be informed that II he,
or they, wish hearing before the
Supreme court Of the United States on
habeas corpus as to the power of the
President In the matter of extradition or
as to the true construction Of the treaty
before his or their surrender be actually
made, every facility for such hearing
will be afforded. Should the court hold
that the President has discretionary
power In extraditing, and the citizen is
proven guilty Of crime, the evil appre-
hended will not be realized, and should
the court hold that the President has the
power to extradite only when bound by
the treaty to do so, Congress can then, II
1t should be Its pleasure, by statute, con-
fer the needed discretionary powers.
