not benignant will, that had charge of
our future. And does that look dark?
Has it not looked dark before! But
light has risen upon our darkness, and
what seemed to us the inevitable altar
of sacrifice has been the altar of our
dellverance and blessing, even as the
stone on which the wayfaring patriarch
laid his head at nightfall in lone weari-
ness was in the morning, consecrated
by the vision of Angels as the corner
stone of Belhel-the house of God
and the gate of heaven. Our past
may almost give us good omen for our
future. Ways that we could not foresee
have been SO often opened to US, events
that we dreaded have been SO often
ayerted or TRANSPORTED, so little of what
we feared has been realized, that memory
can scarcely fail to hold the torch
For persistent cheerfulness we need
not only hope Of Gods continued mercy
IN his world, but equally the hope of
heaven. There is wonderful force in
the scriptural figure ofhope as an anchor

CHIEF justice WAITE
Dissents From the opinion OF the
Supreme Court In the Ex-
tradition Case,

WAsHINaroN, December 10 In the
tradition cass Of the United Stats 8
against William R,uschtr, which the
United States Supreme Court decided
last Monday, Chitf Justice Wsite, in
dissenting from the opinion of the
court, said: 81 am unable to concur in
the decision of this case. A fugitive
from justice has 10 absolute right OF
asylum in country to which he fiees,
and, if he can be got back within the
jurisdiction Of the country whose laws
he has violated, he may be proceeded
with precisely the same as If he had
not fled, unless there is some thing in
the laws OF the country where he is to
be tried, or in the way in which he
was got back, to prevent. l concede
that the treaty is as much part Of
the law OF the United States as is q
statute, and If there is anything in it
which forbids a trial for any other
offense than that for which t0e extra
dition was made, the accused may use
1t ss defense to prosecution on any
other charge until reasc nable time
has elapsed after his release from GUS
tody on account Of the crime for which
he was sent back. But | lave been
unable to 6ud any such provision.
The treaty required delivery up to
justice on demand Of those accused
of certain crimes, but says nothing
about what shall be done with them
after the delivery has been made. 1t
might have provided that they should
not be tried for any oIher offenses
thsn those for which they were sur
rendered, but it has not consequently,
as it seems to me the accused has a.
quired no new rights under the treaty.
He fed from the justice whose laws
he violated, and has been got back.
The treaty under which no was sur
rendered has granted him no immu-
nifty, and therefore it has not provided
him with any new defense. II either
country SHOULD use its privileges under
the treaty to obtain a surrender of q
fugitive on the pIetense OF trying him
for an offense for which extradition
could be claimed, 80 as to try him for
one which he could not, il might fur
n;sh Just cause of complaint on tfre
part of the country which had been
deceived; but it would be matter
entirely for adjustment bltween the
two countries, and could in no way
inuIe to the benefit of the accuse d, ex-
cept through the fundamentally OF
the government that had been induced
to give him up.

and with seemingly increased severity.
Your cure broke them at once, and there has
been no recurrenCe of them for more than
six months. Tho other case was OF milder
FORM, and yielded more readily to other
remedies; but the ohills would return at in
