PRESIDENT SEELYE, of Amherst College,
asks, in the July number of the Fortm,why
we should teach the life Of julius Caesar in
our schools and not that of Jesus Christ.
The answer is oblious. Every American
parent would like to sec his or her son a
successful politician, statesman, lawyer,
soldier, or even newspaper person. Under
the influence Of Cpsar's career child
might hope to ''get there,n but the sermon
on the mount must inevitably cause the
child to "get leftn in each aud all Of the
professions mentioned.

THIS excitement about the provision in
the eXtradition treaty which provides for
the surrender of fugitlyes charged with
"mNlcious injury to personal property
whereby the life of any person shall be en-.
dangered" squite unnecessary. In no civil
lized country can such words be made to
cover n merely political oiIense. The acts
which they express constitute criminal of
fense in America as in England, and will,
Of course, be treated accordingly.
