THE NEW ExrRADIrIoS TREATY.

UNCLE SAM is especially in need OF az
extIadition treaty with Great Beitain.
he may not need it 81 badly a be does
tax reduction, but he needs il, reyerthe-
less, and pretty badly, too.
The frst agreement with GTgst Britain
providing for the mutual surrender Of
criminals was concluded in 1874, Gs part
of the Grenville-Jsy treaty Of that year.
1t provided for the extradiion of persons
charged with murder or forgery. More
elaborate were the stipulaiinns contained
in the tenth article Of tine Webster-A Ash
burton treaty of 1912, which still eonsti-
tute u so.called extradition treaty with
Great Britain. II enumerated as ex-
traditable crimes: Murder, assault with
intent to commit murder, piracy, arson,
robbery, forgery aud the utteranee of
forged paper.
The proposed new ~extEadition treaty
signed or London, June %, 1886, adds to
these the following additional crimes:
Manslaughter, burglary, emhszzlement CT
larceny of the value OF $50 or sl0 and up
wards, malicious injuries to persons or
property by the use of explosives or mali
eious injuries or distractions to railways
whereby the life Of any person shall be en-
dangered.
II may cause some surprise that such
crimes as bigamy, rape, counterfeiting Of
coined money and receiving Of stolen
goods, knowing them to be stolen, are not
included in the list Of extraditable Of
lenses. Moreover, the treaty does not
cover the crimes of bribery and frauds by
a debtor against his creditor. The meet
important extension is that relating to
embezzlement and larceny, which, when
il becomes operative, will greatly reduce
the number of American inanciers who
seek relaxation and a vacation in CaGada,
add the number Of Canadian bank cashiers
who visit the United States for the same
parposss. The proposed treaty expressly
provides that political offenders shall not
b. extradited and that q surrendered
criminal shall cot be detained or tried for
auy other than The %extradition crime until
he has had an opportunity Of returning to
the country by which he has been sur
rendered. This last provision settles o
controversy that led to an extensive diplo-
matte correspondence between the two
governments in the WlSsLOw extrsdition
case. 1t is to be hoped that the treaty
will be ratified in accordance with the
recommendation of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations.

is a luxury that must be paid for, GER
tainly. The people know this aad never
grumble aver a. mighty stiff prices fer
OSly an ordinary Connection a reform
Council, Of course, they will stand eousid-
eably more. Bat there IL a limit to the
amount that even a reform Council should
cost the taxpayers. Public opinion is slow
in coming to a conclusion and the Wheel
Jog public is no exception to the rule, bot
1T has now about decided that that limit
has been reached and that i. ia time to
pail up"
Let Us see what the reformers haveg given
us for our money.
They have gwen us q Board Of Police
and Fire Commissioners st 800 q year,
with a clerk at $65 a month; they have
divided the office Of Clerk Of First Branch,
Committees and Board of Public Works,
which formerly had a salary Of 81, 500 at
tsched, into two distinct sinecures with
salaries of $500 and 81, 900 respectively;
they have increased the salary Of the clerk
of the Police and Fire Board S15 a month
aud Ofthe Assistant City Clerk SIS q month;
they have given an additional compensation
Of $50 6 year to each Of the two City
Assessors, one of whom, by the way, is 8
member of COancil aud holds the assessor
ship in violation Of q city ordinance as
also does the present Market Master and
the City Solicitor who are also members
of Coaneil; they have increased the
salary of the janitor SIS q month;
they have increased the salaries of
the full-paid firemen S. q month and
the chief S2O0a year-this, however, Is one
instance where there has been reason in
the increase, and they might have gone far
ther in that direction without meeting
complaint; they propose TO giTe rs an III
spectOr of brick pavemsnts who will not
get less than s. o day, and they have al
ready violated one Of their own ordinances
to give rs q City Board of Health, to which
will doubtless be attached q money con-
sideraE;on, in the nesr future. Take it ali
in all, it will be found that they have in
creased the already heavy burden Of the
taxpayers at least 5000 = year, and given
absolutely no approach to a commensurate
return. To cap the above list, they have
bought painting of the Siege Of Fort
Henry, for $500. And while they have
been drihbling away the peoples money in
this fashion, to make themselves "sclid, y
politically, never q word hss been rneu-

On Wednesday q boy in our employ was
engaged in carrying a load Of coal into our
Office. He came t. US and said the town
sergeant told bin 10 stop. We told the
toy 10 20 ON. He then went to arrest the
boy and we told him to let the boy alone
as " were responsible for bisacts, ifcarry-
ing in coal was q violation Of the law We
would answer. He then requested Us to
20 before the mayor, and q warrant was
asked for. Finally to save a scene we went
and the msyor lined Us fifteen dollars be-
cause the boy carried up our coal. The
charge was creating noise, disorder aud
tumult. The fact is there was no disorder
tumult and no noise except the boy
picking mp coal, carrying it up stairs and
putting it 10 box. 0fcourse We appealed
the case to the Cireait Court. We COM
mitted no cffsnse was not outside our
p!Sce Of business, and the boy whom we
stood for did nothing but to carry up the
coal, not saying 3 word to any one.

"Thsy will not be closed more than three

This will throw about 40, 000 men ont

protect ourselves. There is no art in the
work we require. Ii can be picked up in
a few days. We have opened employment
agencies at los West Fourteenth street

are taking names and addresses of every
suitable man who applies. We have about

fed and put to work. There is q big fight
ahead, hat We are going to carry it,"

Mysterious Murder in Madrid.

Madrid Dispatch to London Standard.
A mysterious murder has taken place
here. The victim is the aged Marchioness
of Varela, who lived alone with servant
in fiat in a house situated in the center Of
Madrid. The neighbors, who heard groans
and cries, and noticed smoke issuing from
the window, gave the alarm; but hours
passed before the chief of police came and
decided to burst open the door. The Mar
chioness was found lying dead with several
staAs, apparently from knife, in her chest
and neck. Her dress, which was burning
and had half charred her lower limbs, was
evidently set on fire by the assassin with
petroleum. The police were astonished to
find the servant girl lying apparently un-
hurt on the floor of the kitchen, in which
there was large bull dog. She stated that
the assassin knocked her down and stunned
her. 1t appears that an unknown young
man dined with the Marchioness the even
ing before the crime. The girl says she did
not notice or hear anything until she her
self was attacked. Meanwhile she is kept
in jail Curiously enough, the murdered
lady was found with her bracelets and val
liable jewels on her. Her plate, money,
title deeds and securities were left un-
touched There is no clew to the perpetra-
tor of the crime. The victim is highly con
nected. As may be supposed, the murder
has caused q great sensation here.
