THERE are few criminals from the United
States who may not find sanctuary in Canada.
Ii they have money to pay lawyers to contest all
efforts to send them back to the States for trial,
they are about as safe there from the penalty

Africa.-Albany Express.

THE interests Of the Irish laborer and the En-

THE United States owes China an apology, and
something more. for the recent outrages. The
Celestial government would be justified in de-
handing the payment OF an indemnify That
government will be subjected to additional diff

THE fact will remain to Mr.. Gar!and's discredit
that his sense of propriety was much duller than
that of every public officer should be; that he

Mr. PARNELL's dramatic statement that
when Ireland gets home rule he shall regard his
mission as fulfilled, seems to indicate that he is
fearful lest the rising tide of jealousy overwhelm
him before he executes his present plans. A

he may expect to be cast aside the moment the
younger Catholic leaders feel they can afford to
do without him. BOSTON Advertiser.
THESE are days when religion. beset by countless
enemies, needs more than ever to be proclaimed

If the Chinese cannot be expelled in O lawful
way--f Congress cannot be persuaded that the
presence of the Chinese lowers the standard of
labor on the coast and is an obstacle to the pros
perity of that rigion-then the people of the
coast cannot be justified in forcible election
Certainly no defense can be made for the inhu-
man methods emploved-the forcing of the
Chinese from their homes without warning and
without even providing the means of transport

EVERY reform is a disturbance. Creation dis
turbed chaos. and people cried that the world
was coming to an end. Ancient wrongs die
hard. The new birth of a world is not without
pangs. Woman's equal right embraces so much
that even the most advanced woman is unable TO
conceive it all. But the whirlwind of revolution
enlightens the mind, and evolves demands which,
if they had been given out at the beginning
would have shaken the hearts of the very leaders

WE are bound to say that the position of the
Republican Senator's as defined by MIR. Sher-
man, is impregnable. If controversy were to
arise between them and the Democratic Presi-
dent upon these lines they could appeal to the
country with entire confidence that they would
be sustained by popular sentiment. What they
insist upon, SO far as they CO. is simply publicity
regarding appointments and removals alike. and
publicity is a fundamental principle upon which
government of the people is based.-New York
Evening Post.
A POSTAL savings bank may be better than
no savings bank at all: but if State has not
sense enough to establish safe savings bank

experience teach its legislators what to do
The systems of the Middle and New England
States have been fully tested. and they are
known to afford not only safety but fair rates of
interest and available home funds, and are not
open to objections of any kind. They constitute
thrift of the best sort-Atlanta Constitution.
