BAYARD'S DYNAMITE TREATY.
From the Philadelphia Press

The pOstpOnement OF the further
consideration of the British Extra
diton Treaty until next December
probably seals its fate. 1t has
been now nearly two years before
the Senate. Because it was not
Immediately acted upon the Presl.
dent, in July. 1886, sent to the Sen
ate a special message urging its
early consideration. II was about
the only substantial product of Sec
Rotary Bayard's administration OF
the State Department. aud both the
President and the Premier have
had its ratification by the Senate
very much at heart.
The treaty has several good tea
lures and but for the apprehension
that it il open to a construction
that wOald undnly restrict the right
of asylum for political offenders 1t
would undoubtedly be adopted. It
adds mansaughter, burglary and
embezzlement to the lift of extra
ditable OlenSes, which would, if
adopted, deprive our embezzling
cashiers of the great advantage
which they now enjoy, as a trip to
Canada would no longer save them.
Another clause makes the malicious
destruction or injury OF property by
which lives OF any persons are Ell.
dangered an extraditablc Ollense.
This is aimed at dynamite outraged,
bat the fear that it might be used
to serve the political purposes OF
England in the prosecution OF Irish
IIOme.rulers has made the Repub.
llcan members of the United States
Senate unwilling to approve it.
For some time past the chief inter
est in competition with the treaty has
conferred in tho attempts OF Senator
RIddleberger to discuss it IN open
session. The Virginia Senator sue
ceeded at least III demonstrating

RIDI lLEBERGER ON TOP.
WASH ngton Sunday Gazette.

WASH ngtOn Sunday Gazette.
There see ms to be a disposition on
the part of certain Senators to "sit
down" on Mr.. Riddleberger, of Vir.
gina, who though very brilliant
and well Gaming man seems some
how lamen tably deficient IN TACT
He is, hove yer, gifted with a double
share of persistence, aud once
more has re allied the truth of the
old proverb that pluck and perse.
verance will win. Last Wednesday
the Senate secret session by a
vote Of twent y-three to twenty.One,
decided to , OstpOne further con.
sideratiOn of be British extraditiOn
treaty until he first Monday in
December. This treaty was a
measure that Riddleberger had
fought and wit amazing tenacity
of purpose, han lmering it in season
and out of seas on, and the result
we have amour lced is due in great
measure to the persistent fight lie
made against it. So Riddleberger
may be SAID to b c on top again.
The vote on the subject was
brought about at the right moment
b, Senator Ste waft, OF Nevada,
who furnished he inspiration Of
the hour by his m otion which cut
the Gordian kno t with a single
blow.
The principles underlying this
treaty are so important that the
country ought to be made fully &C.
quainted with them. It's passage
would undoubtedly indicate that
we as a Nation had concluded to
give up national tradition which
has been so closely nterwOven with
our governmental polity from the
very beginning as to be really a
fundamental element of our ma.
tional policy. That is, the treaty
provided for the extraditiOn OF
parties charged with political of.
lenses. Great Britain on her own
part, has steadily refused to con-
sent to what she now so earnestly
demands the United States shall
do. 1t is very true that times
change, that men change With
them, and that to-day a sound
political doctrine may not be ex.
ped ent to morrow. But we do not
think the change has been so great
as to require us at one blow to
stultify the whole past record of
the Nation, especially in favor of a
nation whose sole conception Of |
principle is, not at all its abstract |
Justice, but the amount of concrete
benefit to be derived from it in her
favor. At any rate the matter
should be thoroughly discussed
and understood by the people, and
their opinions obtained before the
Senate shall pronounce authOri.
tatively upon it. For If this is not
done, the action of the present
Senate may and probably will, be
reversed by another.

From the Boston Pilot. !

Senator Riddlcberger last week
called for the consideration in open
session of the extraditi0n treaty
concluded by Minister Phelps and
the British Secretary of State two
years ago, which has been chung
upD ever since in the committee on
foreign relations. The Washing.
ton correspondent of the Boston
HerdH says that this dilatory &C.
ton on the part of the Senate was
due to "the preteXt that the treaty
was In some way inimicai to the
Irish cause, although it had been
concluded by GladstOne's Secretary
of State for foreign affairs" There
was no "pretext' in the case. The
treaty negotiated by Messrs. Bay.
ard and Phelps was directly aimed
at political offenders, as is the
treaty with Russia now await.
ing the Senate's confirmation
Whether from servility or natural
faulty, Mr.. Bayard seems to be
possessed Of an insane desire to
sacrifice American interests to
those of England, and his creature
Phelps zealously seconds him in
the attempt. This subserviency to
British designs is seen as well in
the Secretary'S treatment of the
fisheries question as IN his extradi-
tion treaty. The Administration
is not to be congratulated on the
fact that only the interference of
the Republican Senate stands in

It is a little difficult to determine
whether the action Of the Senate
on Wednesday in postponing con-
sideration Of the proposed British
extradition treaty was inspired BY
genuine opposition to the treaty
itself or by a desire to suppress
Riddleberger. Whatever the mo.
tive the disposition made of the
subject was not wise one. If the
treaty contains Objectionable fea.
lures it should have been rejected
outright in order hat u new one
might be negotiated if possible
with these features eliminated.-

Senator Rlddleberger is charged
with being under the control Of
"stimulatlng influences" whenever
he engages in tilt with the senate
on the subject of aboIishing the
star chamber proceeding known as
the executive session. When some
one complained to Lincoln that
Grant, while before Vicksburg, was
constantly under the influence of
whlskey, level.headed old Abe re-.
piled: 81 wish that all my other
generals would get some of that

bottle to Edmunds. Sherman and
all the others whose minds are still
so befog ged that they cannot, or
will not, see that the people demand
to know some OF the peoples bus.
mess. Speaking seriously, how
ever, We think Senator Riddleber.
ger is unjustly accused by those
who attribute his persistency IN
this executive sessions matter to
improper excltation, instead Of to
his earnest convictions of right,
and to his peculiar temperament.
The same charge has heretofore
been made against him when there
was no foundation for it. And,
after all, it would Geem that Mr..
Rddleberger has talked to some
purpose, both in open and IN Sc.
cret session, for the senate has
postponed further consideration Of
the British extradition treaty, with
its reputed obnoxious features, un.
til next December.
