THE new extradition treaty agreed to
between the British Foreign Office and
our own State Department. and which is
now before the Senate, will. if ratified,
tend to relieve Canada of the odium of
being sort of extra-judicial penal coll
ooy for this country. The treaty is de-
signed to enable the authorities in each
of the two countries to reach out across
the boundary line and pick up bank
cashiers and other defaulters, who have
been having happy time for a good
many years, and dynamiters, it is said,
are included in its terms. The treaty.
which can hardly fail of ratification,
will not disturb those who have got
safely across the border before it goes
into effect.

A Disgrace to CIVILIZATION.

The treatment of convicts in Georgia
is disgrace to civilization. In some re-
spects il discounts the horrors of sla
very, and would put to shame the atrOc-
tiles practiced by barbarian rulers upon
their prisoners of war. These Georgia
convicts. nearly all of whom are negroes,
are manacled together in gangs and hired
out like so many mules. to work 10 the
mines of the state. They are not, in
many cases, treated half as we'll as mules
would be, for If killed or crippled they
involve no loss to the inhuman contracr
tors. Some may wonder why nearly all
the men in these chain-gangs are ne
groes, in a state more than half the pop
ulation of which is white. The explana-
tiOn is that whenever white man is
convicted of a crime he is sent to Jail.
When u negro is convicted he is sent 10
the chain-gang to work for contractors
whose hatred of the negro race is noto
rious. This discrimination is on par
with the laws of the state, which, pre-
vious to the war, made twenty-three
crimes committed by negroes punishable
with death, while white men could only
be executed for three crimes. Our dis
patches on Wednesday related the par
ticulars of revolt among the convicts
in the coal mines of Dade county, Ca,
in the extreme northwest corner of the
state. Driven TO desperation by brutal
treatment at the hands of fiendlsh oYer
seers, and bereft of every hope that
makes life endurable, these cOnvicts re-
fused to work, aid invited the authori
ties to shoot them down with rifles and
cannon if they wanted to. as was threat
eued If work was not resumed. Death
was preferable to the life they led. These
convicts are probably not very whole
some lot of men, and it may be assumed
that in most cases they were deserving
of some degree of punishment. Bat
whatever their offenses, they are euti>
tied to censiderate treatment to the
same treatment awarded to criminals in
Ohio, New York, Michigan, and other
fully civilized states. Humenity revolts
at the working of men in chain-gangs
for the benefit of contractors. upon whose
cruelty no restraints are placed. In this
particular case the contractor is Senator
Joseph Brown. of Georgia, by whose
presence in the Senate Chamber that
body Is disgraced. Nothing better could
be expected of him, however. for he is
the brutal wretch who hung Union pris-
oners during the rebellion contrary to
the rules of war. and who deserved
hanging himself quite as much as the
blackest and wickedest convict who is
now being starved to death in the mines
of Dade county, because he has revolted
at the manacles, the Lash, and the gener-
al cruelty of Browns overseers. Amer
ican civilization may we'll blush with
shame at Georgias convict system. 1t
is almost unnecessary to say that Brown

THE President has recalled one of
his Objectionable appointments-that of
Adolph Lippman. appointed Commits
sioner for Alaska. Lippman lived at
Maryville, Mo-, where he kept a grocery
store and sold liquor without license.
He was indicted several times and placed
under bond. Last summer he jumped
his bond and went to Alaska, where be
transferred his property to Judge Daw-
son, also Missouri man. Dawson then
procured Lippmans appointment as
Commissioner. When the citizens of
Maryville heard of this they sent a pro-
test to Washington, and the two Missou-
ri Senators requested the cancellation of
Lippman's appointment The rejection
of notoriously bad appointees by the
Senate, has become so mouotonous to the
President, that he consents more readily
to recall such as Llppman's, where OBJ
jections are seriously urged. The Rresi-
dent is growing less obstinate.

A FAIR contrast between Republican
and Democratic civil service reform is
afforded by remembering the fact that
the Republican National Convention of
1884 adopted resolution disqualifying
any federal oficeholder for sitting as
delegate in any future Republican Ma
tienal Convention, and the further fact
that twenty+seveD Democratic federal
officials were delegates in the Indiana
Congressional convention which renom>
mated Holman the other day, and in the
Democratic convention at Coshocton re-
Gently, there were over twenty office
holders who manipulated by notoriously
d!sgraceful methods, the denomination
of Beriah Wilkins.

THE Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph,

THE Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph,
in referring to the Democratic county
convention held in this county last
week. says:
The Democrats of Belmont county,
Ohio. are an irreverent set, and deserve
no share in the national distribution of
loaves and fishes. AT their convention
an enthusiastic admirer of President
Cleveland and postoffice referred to the
Chief Executive rs having the patriot
ism of Washington. the courage of Jack,
son, and is as true as the coin of the
realm" Leaving out of question the
patriotism and courage, the question
arises, what coin did the speaker liken
the President to? The standard dollar,
probably. which is now worth a trile
over seyeDty-fve cents. The conven+
tion did not take kindly to the remarks,
however. as the speaker was hissed into
silence.

The Steubenville (O) Press says: ave
have been Informed that some Republi-
can candidates for Congress, this dis
trict. and their allies are busily engaged
in trying to defeat the nomination of
Col. J. D. Taylor by charging him with
"boodleism"-that he is not, besides, a
friend to labor, and refuses to pay for
services rendered. All bosh.
1t would be much more creditable for
candidates who are competing with Col.
Taylor for the nomination to Congress,
to do so upon their own in place of trying
to detract from his reputation. He who
expects to be nominated, not on his own
merits, but by detracting from the char
acter of others should be admonished-
for he is in fact unworthy, and if nomi
mated might not be elected to represent
the people of this district in Congress.
