THE TREATY Is KILLED.

As was anticipated in these columns the British extradition treaty has been l rejected in the United States senate This result was reached last evening in | executive session, and the dispatches tell l us that it was buried out of sight, only fifteen senators voting for it's ratitica- tion and thirty-eight against. The ar gument used by those who antagonized the treaty, according to the leaks from the star chamber, was that to ratify even so innocent-looking treaty as the one amended by the republican foreign affairs committee according to the wishes of Minister West would be a con- cession to England that this country could never consent to make We rather think it would
 This treaty was vicious, dangerous, unprecedented. For the first time in in- ternational comity it was seriously pro- posed to violate the fundamental prin- ciple of international law laid down by Wheaton that mo state should author lze the extradition of it's own citizens or subjects. American citizens. under the provisions of the treaty. were made liable to extradition and punishment by a foreign government for crimes committed in this country
 Even when America was still colony of Great Britain the patriots of the revo- luton rebelled against King George for the wrong, among others, of having transported our citizens across the seas to be tried for pretended offences" It would have been curious satire on the spirit of American manhood if, in the second century of our national indepen- dence when we have stepped into the front rank of nations, our legislators at Washington would surrender without q protest one of the rights for which the founders of the republic drove the Union Jack from American soil. That seven fifteen senators voted to so degrade our national spirit IS stain upon American honor that should never be forgotten or forgiven by the American people.
 All honor to the senators who voted to reJect this abominable instrument All honor to the good men and true who sent back the message to Lord Salisbury and his tory satellites that justice and manhood still reign in the halls of American legislation All hail the noble men who have proclaimed to the world that under the starry folds of the Ameri- can flag there is an asylum for the op- pressed and refuge for the persecuted !! America is still the land of the free, the home of the brave, the cradle and nurse ry of all that is honorable and just and right! Where British hate and injustice come in American partisanship flies out at the window, and all men, be they democrats or republicans, stand up in the eyes of all the world and proclaim

THE BASE BALL BOOM.

Waterbury has a chance at this time
 to revive the national game that seems especially favorable and that may not come again. The proprietors of the new Atlantic league propose to take in two New England cities which with Worces- ter and Lowell will make the eastern
 part of the circuit. In determining their choice they are likely to be influenced chiefly by considerations of local enthu- siasm for the game. The experience of the past would recommend Waterbury very strongly on this point. and there is little doubt that if the men who have been prominently identified with the game here in the past would put their shoulders to the wheel they would meet with hearty encouragement from the citizens generally.
 The city is particularly well situated to insure successful base ball season in a league like the one under considera- tion. Located on the main New England line that communicates almost directly with the eastern cities and in easy reach of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania parts of the league, the expense of trav- el would be comparatively light and might be easily met by the guarantees likely to be provided for visiting organi- cations. The players salaries are certain to be graded lower than they have been in recent years, and there would seem to be no difficulty in getting together nine that would at least hold it's own with the others in the league. It would not be at all necessary to have the Brass city nine in the lead, and the lovers of the game would be willing to put up as starter with team that could give a creditable exhibition of the national game. The dissolution of the New Eng land league has thrown some excellent ball players on the market, and with the droves of competent men who are with out engagements throughout the coun- try an enterprising manager or even a we'll informed local director, could get together team that would give excel lent satisfaction.
 Taken altogether the situation is one that ought to be encouraging to those who have taken the lead heretofore in base ball matters. With prompt action on their part there is no question that they would meet with success. If some one will take the initiative we believe base ball can be revived and Waterbury be gwen summer amusement that has been sadly missed for the past two sea- sons.

 The change will give more tone to the man who is to look after agricultural matters by making him a member of the presidents cabinet. And it will give Harrison chance to discharge some of way to the presidency. Some hungry republican has fortune shying its castor at him.

MORE MEATS FOR THE TABLE.

General Harrison's luck-or trouble continues. He has been given a chance to put another plate on the table at which his hungry office-hunting follow CTS are already crowding like hogs at the feeding trough. An agreement reached by the senate and house confer ees on the bill making an executive de- partment of the agricultural bureau after a conflict that has lasted through the winter was accepted yesterday by the house. Of course the senate committee, which was looking out for ''the boys, "came out ahead in the conference.
 The bill, as agreed to by the conferees and as it went through, simply converts the agricultural bureau into an executive department without including in it any of the various government bureaus. As

MARY ANDERSON'S criticism of society women who take to the stage does mt seem to discourage the drawing room flowers. It is announced from New York that two more belles are ready to take the boards. One of them has just been engaged by MT Frohman for the Lord Chumley company, and the other will probably join Mrs Blaine's company. Miss Emma Means ,one of the debutantes, is the daughter of a former bank presi- dent in Cincinnati. She was well known in society in the west. A series of mis- fortunes, eliminating in her fathers financial ruin, finally led Miss Means to seek for a livelihood. The other society debutante is Miss Moynahan, who comes of the old Irish family of that name in Ottawa. Her fortune was left entirely in the hands of her fathers executors and was dissipated in less than three years. The chorus girls and ambitious young women who begin at the bottom round have reason every day to endorse the timely remonstrance of Miss Anderson.

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE's prompt

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE's prompt and unqualified denunciation of the mur- der of Mir Clayton in Arkansas, and his utter indisposition to profit by his oppo- nent's death, ought to make those re- publican editors ashamed of themselves who are intimating that the murder was political crime. It seems to be the fashion of republican editors in the north to write down every capital crime in the south as the result of political causes.

The Origin of Dogs,

The question of the origin of the dog has recently been discussed by Professor Nehring, who believes that 1t has de- scended from various still surviving spe- cles of wolves and jackals. The latter animals can be tanned, and many at tempts to domesticate wolves have been successfully made in recent times. Herr Ronge has so completely tanned a young wolf that 1t follows him exactly as dog might do.-Pubio Opinion.

PARNELL seems to shine the brighter in the midst of the black clouds of infamy, calumny and perjury that surround him in his legal tilt with the London Times. The character of the witnesses brought forward by the Times would be enough to kill its case in any civilized court of justice. but courts manned by creatures of the tory govern ment of England are not designed to dispense justice when Irishmen are the ones on trial. Parnell and the Irish cause will take on new vigor when they shall have passed unsmirched through the slimy pools that beset their paths in this trial. Gladstone, Parnell and home rule will be triumphant ere many moons.

viii Shortly Begin Work in the plrec'

The KENrucKIAN has intelligence
from All unquestionsble quarter that
the Ohio Valley railroad company
will begin the construction Of the
line between IIopkinsville and
Princeton within thirty days. After
the subscription voted by this county
to aid in that work, IL became OF tho
first Importance 10 the Ohio Valley
to own an independent entrance into
Evansville free from all complica-
tions with other lines, as the value
and independence Of its lines within
this State depended almost entirely
Oh its ability to obtain untrammelcd
connection with the railroad running
into Evansville. Without this con-
nection, the extension of its line 10
IIopkintville would have been of lit
tie value to our people.
The Ohio Valley people, according
ly, have been concentrating all their
means and energy upon building
their railroad from Henderson to
Evansville. That work is now In
such an advanced state, that unless
floods or some other unforeseen dis
aster should interrupt 1t, the extern
sion will be completed by the lst OF
April. The Company is financially
able 10 fulfill its contract with Chris
tiau county and will do so In good
faith. This statement is made upon
the best authority.
