Valuable Acnnisitions.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
The apparent disposition of Canadians to
regard embezzlers as valuable acquisitions
Will stand in the way OF any reform m the
eXtraditlon laws. These EOgues have taken
millions of dollars to Canada, and the Cana
dlans may object to cutting of this source Of
revenue. Nor do the Canadians fear that the
fugftves in Canada win repeat the rsscalities
that caused them to flee from the United
States. Once IN Canada they are deprived of
the temptation that assailed them in this
country, and have no place of refuge left.
Hence It is found that American embeZZlers
who engage in business in Canada conduct all
their operations with scrupulOus regard for
the laws OF the Dominion. Canadian senti-
ment is largely in their favor, and a strong
Influence win he brought to bear to defeat any
change that Will bring American embezzlers
within the cXtradition treaty. Fortunately,
however. tbe treaty was made with England
and not with Canada, and it may be possible
to convince the English statesmen that it Is
an injustice for that country to maintain a
safe and secure asylum for American de-
faultpra.

The opponents Of the bill TO modify the
/ Railroad Commission Law are cOntinu-
4 ally trying to create the impression that
I the contest over the bill Is between the
railroads and the people. The reason
| they do this is not difficult to understand.
They hope to make capital for themselves
by posing as the champions of the rights
of the people, and think that by insisting
that the railroads aud the people are hos
tile to each other they will enlist public
sentiment against the railroads.
But, as matter of fact, is there any
contest between the railroads and the
people? There is not a line Of railroad in
the State that was not originally desired
by the people, and that is not desired now.
There are many other roads that are pro
jected which the people want. The people
do not favor laws that will injure the
railroads or that will check railroad
building. They want the railroads to
prosper, and that they may prosper they
want them dealt with fairly. They know
that nothing does so much towards build
ing up the State, and making it rich and
pOpulOus as the railroads. 1t is ridicu-
lous, therefore, to assume that they are
fighting the railroads.
The fight that Is really going on at At
lanta is between the railroads and the
Railroad Commission which was ap-
pointed TO regulate the relations between
the railroads and the people, and to see
that they have the rights to which they
are respectively entitled. This com
mission was unwisely given toe
much power, and it proceeded
to use that power to iniure the
railroads. 1t was not expected, nor in.

OF that kind. To save themselves from
ruin the railroads were forced to try K

Have the New York papers really found
out the status of the new Georgia bonds,
and are they ashamed to admit that the
statements they have heretofore made
about them are erroneOus? or do they
still assert that the bonds are not sold
but are held for sale on account Of the
State OF Georgia. They can find out the
truth OF the matter if they care to know
it. Perhaps they feign ignorance In order
to have some excuse for trying to injure
honest capitalists of their owH city, 80 as
to try to get little revenge for some OF
their unprincipled fnsnciers who were
concerned in the scheme by which Geor-

Welshmen in the United States declare
that their race is not getting as much
credit here now as it deserves. They as
sert that of the ftty-iye signers Of the
Declaration of Independence seventeen
Were Welshmen, either by birth or line
age; and, moreover, that fourteen gener-
ais, one colonel, six captains, and one
lieutenant in the American revolutionary
army were Weishmen. This is too bad,
but then the people are not to be blamed.
1t is only recently that any special class
or nationality has had the ehfrontery to try
to run or save this country. Our foref. theirs
thought that the patriots of the revolution
were Americans, no matter from what
country they or their ancestors came.
Thousands of our nOblest and most patri-
otto citizens were once Welshmen,
Irishmen, Scotchmen, Germans, English
men, or Frenchmen. but it is the genius
Of American liberty that makes good citi-

The Rer. AIr. HARLEY.

Rev. Timothy Harley, formerly pastor
Of the Baptist church in this city, but
who for several years past has been
preaching in London, England, with
great success, has resigned his passionate,
and will shortly revisit America. Mr.
Harley will devote several months Ia IL
thorough examination into the CONNER
ciaI, social, educational and religious con-
dition Of the Southern States in general,
and Georgia in particular. He will
spend several weeks in Savannah among
his old congregation. Leaving this city,
he proposes to travel over this State and
then through the other Southern States,
and TO leave no question concerning them
without complete Investigation. The in
formation thus acquired will be used to
enlighten people who have never visited
the South in regard TO its condition and to
remove many erroneous impressions. Mr..
Harley is noted as an earnest and ind0mi-
table worker in anything he engages in and
is also a forcible speaker. His visit to
Georgia will be looked forward to with
interest.

The President as a Civil Servics
Examiner.


1t seems TO be understood that DIR. Ham.
ilton, Surgeon General Of the Marine Hos
pital Service, is to be retained in office.
DR.. Hamilton has good many friends in
different parts Of the country, and as he
has shown himself to be an earnest and
capable officer, his good fortune has been
the occasion Of many expressions of salts
faction.
There are others doubtless who could

A Philadelphia paper notes the fact that
the law providing the penalty OF whip-
ping for wife-beaters is about to becotnA
a dead letter through the malicious inge2
nuity Of the scoundrels who think it nee

halves. A case has been brought to light
in Maryland where two neighbors agreed

each others wives. Whether the wives
deserved punishment or not they received
it, and their husbands, while subject to

mere assault and battery, avoided the
lash which seems TO have terrifying

italian worlsmen.

Workmen here are never in q hurry, and
are always glad of an excuse to chat or look
At the scenery or do anything but what
they are paid to do, writes travelling cor
respondent in Italy. The deliberate way,
for instance, in which stonemason works,
would knock an American builder silly. In
the first place, instead of having ton Of
blocks shot up on steam elevator, as o
Philadelphia contractor would do, the stone
is brought up block by block on the backs
of little boys. The!little boy stumbles on
the ladder or stubs his toe and misses &
trip, but the stonemason doesn't mind this,
but whistles while no waits patiently for the
boy TO come again. When that block Of
stone is laid the boy goes down the ladder
for another, and the mason takes another
look OF the scenery until the boy Gomez
back again. The sand, like the blocks Of
stone, is conveyed 10 the masons by girls aud
boys. They carry IL up in baskets that
hold about half bushel The foreman told
me several years are required for the con
struction Of moderate sized building. The
boys who carry up these bits of stone and
baskets of mortar and sand get from ten to
ifteen cents day. The stonemason gets
afty cents, and tho men who quarry the
stone and sand forty cents day. And
these sums are even smaller than they look,

A curious occurrence delayed the White
Mountain express recently. Shortly nter
leaving Windsor, VT, frisky young horse,
alarmed at the locomotive, jumped over the
fence at tho side of the track and galloped
ahead Of the train for about mile and a
half, until he came to trestle bridge span
ming ravine some fifty feet deep. At that
point there CHANGED to be two men, who
waved their coats In the animals face.
He was checked by this for moment, but
glance at the snorting iron horse in the
rear was too much for his nerves. He dis
comfted the enemy in front by letting fly
his heels and then fed incontinently toward
the trostle. Strange to say, the sure-footed
animal trotted some thirty feet on the struc-
ture without falling through the interstices.
He made false step, however, and down
he went, first with his hind legs and then
with the fore ones. The animal was utterly
helpless. The train. which meanwhile had
slackened up, was stopped, and the train
men and passengers held consultation.
Boards were torn from neighboring fence,
and laid ON the ties The struggling beast
was then forced over ON his side and his
legs fastened together by means Of stout
rope. Next the brakemen and parlor-car
passengers " tailed on " to the end Of this
hawser and dragged the horss along the
boards to solid ground. Boston Transcript.
