since July 8, 1850. when Assistant Chief Nc
Cabe got into trouble for using it in connection
with the fire in Harlem. McCabe's course
was. however. justified when the case was

complaint that too many fremen and engines

STEPNIAK,S APPEL.

Stepniak is one of the foreign missionaries
of Russian Nihilism. As the conductor OF one
of the revolutionary journals he knew famll-
iarly those terrible men who have slain one
Car and plotted ccaselessly against another,
and who have converted assassination into
gospel of political regeneration in
land lying under the curse OF des-
potism. In Underground Russia" he
has drawn the portraits or prohes
of the pioneers of this strange company Of con-
spirators and given to European and American
readers as Peter Lavroff has said. the form
and substance of the revolutionary movement.
The protest which he has sent to the United
states Senate against Secretary Bayard's eX-
tradition treaty reproduces the arguments set
forth in that deeply interesting and apparently
truthful book The text of this remarkable
and characteristic appeal appeared in yester-
davis TRIBUNE, and furnished a new and inn
portant chapter in the anomalous history OF
revolution by assassination.
This protest is grounded upon an unauthor-
ICED and possibly spurious text OF The treaty
Of extradition now before the Senate. That
text bears internal evidence of being hasty
and inaccurate translation OF the outlines OF
a treaty proposed by the Russian Government.
We have never believed it possible that an
American Secretary of State could have signed
such convention. Many Of it's provisions and
clauses may be identical with those OF the
treaty which has been actually negotiated but
surely Secretary Bayard has not set his official
seal upon a convention that Will deprive pohtl-
cal reyolutionists of the rights of asylum In
the limited States. We have steadily declined
10 believe that the State Department. even
under the present unpatriotlc and un-Amerlcan
Administration could have sanctioned so
monstrous an alliance with the most dospotc
Government In Europe. On this account we
have not dealt seriously with the numerous
resolutions and protests against the so-called
convention which have been adopted by various
mass-meetings and associations; nor does it
uow seem necessary to refer In detail TO the
objectionable clauses pointed out by Stcpniak
The publication Of the authorized text Of Tho
treaty will probably relieve the State Depart
mept from the suspicion of having made
league for hunting down the Cars political
foes.
Ono noint which the Nihlist champion makes
deserves special attention. He asserts that
only an insignificant number of these revolu-
tionists are refugecs-probably not more than
FIVE out of hundred So fanatical are these
disciples of the gospel of revolution by assas-
sination that they prefer to perish a. 'hclr
POSTS rather than to live abroad In peace and
security. Stepniak states that there are not
more than five or six Nihlists in America who
have taken any part in the conspiracies OF The
last ten years. The Cars Government does
not expect to hw-t anwn assassins by negotiat-

LOOK TO THE APPROPRIATIONS.

The tax-rate is low and New ork ota'c Is
practically out of debt. The taxpayers have
TO thank the Republicans for this agreeable
state of things. The credit for the healthy
condition of the public finances is due to wise
and frugal Republican administration Inc
Rcnublicans that have constituted the majority
in the Legislature in recent years have passed
clean appropriation bills. Questionable items
have either been reported adversely or killed
in the Committee of the Whole. And even
items to which no objection could be urged
have been laid aside when it was clear that the
public interests would not suffer by delaying
their passage This has been the rule. and be-
cause it has been the rule New-York is not
handicapped by debt.
But everybody is aware that full treasury
is always temptation to those who have the
handling Of the public purse. On another
page We print letter from " An Alarmed nc
publican" who thinks the present Legislature
stands in danger of being altogether too gen
crous. We commend what he says to the con-
sideration of our friends at Albany. Excess
sive appropriation is always costly mistake
The people have a way Of holding the party
responsible for It to a strict account.
