Disregard of State Comfy.

Governor Crittendcn of Missouri ap-
pears to nave peculiar ideas as to state
comfy. His cool announcement with
reference to the negro recently extra
dited from this city and carried to ST.
Louis is only an additional illustration
OF what may be termed, to draw 1t
mildly, his eccentricity. Having dis
covered that the negro is not the Grim
inal wanted by Missouri, the governor
of Texas is notified that his man is
subject to his order if he will send tor
him. The expense Of rectifying Mis-
souri's mistake must fall upon Texas.
This Ia not the first time the governor
of Missouri has displayed his inditfer-
-ence tn state comfy. When Governor
Roberts was in the executive chair he
sent a requisition to Missouri for Colo
mel Crisp to answer an old charge Of
murder committed in Hopkins county.
The Missouri governor higgled, wrote
ponderous opinion and declined to
honor the requisition. Crisp happened
to be an honorable man, who wanted
his name cleared of a damaging charge.
and he came of his own accord. He
mad fair trial and was acquitted
Governor Crittenden has also declined
TO grant acquisitions from the execu-
tives OF Tennessee and Ohio. Cover
nor Hawkins of Tennessee waxed
wrathy and wrote up Crittenden in
calistlc language. 1t is quite true that
TINS matter of comfy, as between state
aud state, is necessarily one of courtesy
and individual choice. The federal
constitution has clause bearing upon
the subject, but the states interpret II
very loosely. 1t is a well-establisbed
precedent, however. that the states
through their executive officers, cheer
iuiiy and promptly honor reaulsi,ions
that appear 10 he just and bear the ex.

THE failure of the senate to ratify
the Mexican reciprocity treaty does
not consign it to defeat. 1t simply
shows hesitancy on the part of certain
senators. If the time for its ratitica-
ton is extended, as no doubt it will be,
reconsideration under better auspi-
ces will result more favorably. In
the meantime Senators Coke and
Maxey, representing the state that
will be Immediately and largely bene'
fitted by its adoption, should interest

While the protection extremists are

day the possessor of two millions is

every city has its list of millionaires.

laws that while the rich grow richer
