Crimes without having foreseen that this dis
tinction can be made in return against even
the just demands of imperial diplomacy
This is the more true, since, for political
crimes, especially for conspiracies against the
sovereign, the mere attempt. not followed by
any result, the plot alone, is likened to the
successful effort, and punished by death in
the same way, which is contrary to the prin-
cipies of modern penal jurisprudence. Yet,
acco riding to the rules enunciated by high
Russian authority, the demand for extradition
ought not to be allowed, except so far as the
legislation of the states which demand it
conforms to the principles adopted by civil
ICED nations"
When Russia shall give to those extradited
for crime the same security for life and lib
erty which is demanded elsewhere by modern
civilization, then, and not before, will it be
proper for US to consider whether we shall
deliver any class of refugees accused of polit-
ical offenses.

consumers. But it must be remembered that
the high tariff not only stimulated rapid in
crease in the number of sheep, but also the
improvement of the breeds, that sheep
which yielded only four to five pounds in free
trade times, before the war, were in 1880 yield
ind ten to twelve pounds per head. 1t costs
no more to keep improved sheep than it did
the four pound fleece animals. Now if under
free-trade wool was worth 57.5c per pound,
the sheep industry with wool at 1915 under
high tariff was the more profitable in the ratio
of the increased production per head. It would
stand thus:

Five pounds wool at Sc under free trade $50

1T is not pleasant to see nearly all of the inn

That section comprises only about one-fourth of
the country, yet only the slender Republican
majority in the Senate prevents its COM

ulate. The Southern men have the very large
majority of important chairmanships and are
thus in position to exercise far more than their
proper share of Influence in molding legislation.

WHAT Is "WOMAN?n

1t is an odd development of the literary
craze among women that leads ambitious
members of the sex to establish newspapers
and periodicals whose avowed purpose is to
promote the cause of Woman" When there
10 specific object in view, such as the teach
ing Of suffrage or temperance doctrine, or Of
discussing fashions or housekeeping, or other
peculiarly feminine. topic, publications are
readily enough accounted for; but when a
magazine appears calling itself Woman"
and announcing its entire devotion to the sex
and its interests, then wonder arises. With
all the enterprises of this sort that have been
started from time to time, the exact nature of
the ''cause of woman" has never been
satisfactorily explained. Volumes have
been written about woman" and
editors of womens journals labor
arduously every week in their self-appointed
mission Of elevating womankind, but the pub
lie Is somehow left in ignorance as to where
the line is drawn that separates the cause of
woman from that of man and why woman
should be elevated while man is left to grovel
In the depths. As matter of course if woman
has n cause mankind has one also, but there is
no magazine called imam" devoted to the
male members of society. To be sure, this
name would hardly indicate class exclusive
ness, inasmuch as, in the language of the an
cient hamorist, imam embraces woman" but
there is none whose object is to elevate men
regardless Of the fate Of their female rela-
tives and associates. Few, IL any, of the
newspapers and magazines controlled by men
,lose their columns to women, but most Of

Thus it is seen how the facts suffer" in
comparison with the prolific theories of the
News. The further fact, we'll known to all
informed on the subject, is that the cheap
lands of Texas and the Territories only pro-
duce the cheaper and coarser grades of wool,
and fewer pounds per head of sheep.
There are two other questions in regard to
free wool and the tariff on it which puzzles
the News. First, it can't understand why it
was that wool was little higher under free
trade than it was finally under high tariff

'.robber tariff is tax on consumers), and
second, why did not the high tariff of 1867
build up the price Of wool7 It is not hard to
become puzzled at economic questions when
you can only see one angle of the matter. 1t
is a well-known fact in political economy that
when the element of competition is absent

of the unprotected industries that when there
were no barriers to the importation of foreign
goods 1t was ruin to embark in COMPETE
ton with Europe, and so capital has always
been shy in attempting to compete with the
nations of cheap labor. And so the latter had
the market largely to themselves. The rapid
increase of the number of sheep under the
high wool tariff of 1887, and the lower
ing Of the price of woods Is the
proof of the value of competition to

Mr.. CARLISLE'S SEAT.

The Ihoebe-C Carlisle contest has taken
rather surprising turn, and the Speaker has
at last condescended to notice it. His pre-
vious treatment of the contest has been that of
dignifed contempt, as if an effort by an OBJ
scure labor candidate to contest the seat of a
high and mighty Democrat like himself were
not worthy of notice. But the latest develop
ment of the compels his attention. This
is motion by Thebes counsel to reopen the
dence and fraud It is alleged that Thabe
had majority of the votes in the district; that
the returns from the country were held back
and fraudulently manipulated, as to over
come his majority, and that when he attempted
to obtain proof of this fact by the aid of an at
torney, that attorney was bought up by the
other side and by false statements induced to
believe, until too late, that he obtaining
the truth, when in fact he neglecting to
do so, and thus making his case of no value.
In support of these allegations. afidavits are
presented showing that Thnbe received
majority of the legal votes cast
on election day; that subsequently the
ballot-boxes were stuffed AID returns were
altered in a number of districts, while in sew
eral counties Carlisles friends turned out and
voted the day after the election, and that he,
Thoebe, was prevented from ascertaning
these facts before by the treachery of his
attorney, who was bought up by the other
side. Fer these reasons he asks the commit
tee for a rehearing. These charges give
new aspect to the case and may well challenge
Mr.. Carlisle's attention. It will be remem-
bered that on the morning after the election
it was given out that Carlisle was defeated,
and it was so believed for some time. Later
returns reversed the entire result. Can it be
that these later returns were brought about
by the methods described in Mr.. Thebe's
affidavit? However this may be, the case
has assumed phase that demands thorough
investigation. Mr.. Carlisle and his friends
can no longer afford to pooh-pooh contest
based on charges So direct and damaging as
these. The Speaker of the House cannot
slightest suspicion of fraud, and the charges
now made do raise such a suspicious The
course of justice and the Speakers reputation
alike demand thorough investigation. IF
the charges are true, he is not entitled to his
seat; if they not true, they can and ought
to be refuted. Such affidavits in at
court would furnish good cause for a new
trial, and we do not well see how the commit
tee can refuse to reopeu the case At first
Mr.. Carlisle's friends thought he should not
dignity the matter by making any response
to the afidavits, but he has addressed letter
to the committee asking permission to exam
file counter-affidavits. In compliance with
this request the case was postponed till next

them welcome and even solicit their con
tributions. If women have cause they can
and thereby enlighten masculine readers as
well az feminine. If man has a cause which
he is endeavoring to promote he does not
conceal the fact from the other half of the
world by publishing class magazines. Why

and her literature to the presumable detri-
ment of men who, she acknowledges, need

respecting the formation of the pensions
committee by Speaker Carlisle, which is COM
posed of eight members from the solid South
and five from the Northern States, we have to
say that the committee on invalid pensions, :"
of which Col. Matson, of this State, is chair
man, is the one that has charge of both gen.

soldiers of the late war While that COM
nnittee is not open to the objection urged

that Col. Matson's committee is stocked"

WOODWORKING AND TIE TAKIFF.

If the Indianapolis News was as industrious
in gathering the facts in regard to the opera
tion of tariff duties as it is in promulgating
its st upid theories, it would rise to the plane
of sprightliness. Says the free-trader: ut
is according to the philosophy of things, and
must be so, and if the facts are contrary, so
much the worse for the facts" This is the
premise and the conclusion of all free traders.
If the facts differ from their theories, so much
the worse for the facts. The News now has a
beautiful theory about the cause of the do
cline in the price of wool. 1t says:
1.-The cause of the decline is as plain as
nature can make causes, and is as independ-
ent of the tariff as it is of the river and harbor
bill. The steady decline of wool-growing
east of the Mississippi, the lessen;ng price of
the clip, the progressive disappearance of
sheep, all come from causes which the tariff
does not produce and cannot alter"
1t proceeds to say that the high price of
land east of the Mississippi has caused a de-
cline here of wool-growing. That would look
pretty enough if it was not for the facts to
the contrary, which show that the ratio of de-
cline under the reduced tariff of 1888 is about
the same VIII ere lands are cheap as where they
are high. Here are the facts from official
statistics, showing the number of sheep:

Henry Wooden Grady has made another very
remarkable remark. He says IN his paper the
Atlanta Constitution. that Mrs Stoves Uncle

1t was "a beautiful and wonderful defense OF
slavery as it existed 1t is great pity the
South did not find this out when the book was
issued. 1t would have been money in Mrs.

which Mr. Grady's remarkable conclusion was
reached should be diagrammed as curiosity.

collection district been SO largely used for party
purposes as the one with headquarters in this

that purpose, even to the extreme of appointing
a man to be gauger that his salary might be

The kindergarten and The Public School.


A capital idea that of making the kindergar-
ten portion Of the public school system. The
wonder is that this was not done long ago.
Boston has been lamentably behind in officially
adopting this splendid scheme of education for
the little ones, and the city is greatly indebted
to the lady who has for many years at great
annual expense. demonstrated the usefulness of
the kinderearten as the starting point in the
plan of educational training In other cities
where it has been adopted. the kindergarten
long ago proved it's value portion of the
public school system, and Boston, which should
have been the first to its worth, has been
almost the last to take any step toward the
official recognition of the Frabel method Only
the small sum of $40, 900 is asked for to start
the work. and this should be given withous
hesitation. The money squandered on the
Kapiolani junket would have come within 81, 900
of the amount required for the establishment
of the public kindergartens, aud we commend
this fact to his Honor the signer of appropriation
bills. By all means let the public kndergartens
be established at the earliest possible moment
The delay in the past wholly unnecessary.
Several Western cities have dstanced Boston IL
the adoption of the kindergarten idea, and our
backwardness in the matter has astonished
educators in all quarters. The $50 900 asked fer
should be readily granted Let there be no plea
of poverty. Remember 'kapiolani and her
