OUR BOODLERs IN CANADA.

The governor general Of Canada
approves tho anti-boodler bill passed
by parliament, and 1t will become a
law. This bill applies for the sur
render, on a proper demand, of fugi-
tives from any foreign country, who
have committed such crimes as en-
bezzlement and forgery, which are
net extraditable under the existing
treaty laws. The law will have to be
submitted to the British government,
but it will undoubtedly go into eff
feet.
The dominion is entitled to some
credit for the passage of this bill, and
will receive the thanks of the United
States government for the relief af'
forded. The action will have great
tendency to make the United States
and Canada better neighbors by af,
fording each other mutual protec-
ton. The new law, however, is not
retroactive, and for that reason the
American boodlers now in Canada
vii not be affected. But it will put
stop to all future emigration of q
similar character, as it destroys the
refuge that criminals of certain
classes have enjoyed in the past, the
insufficient extradition treaty not
covering their offenses.

Fish's idea OF Patriotism.

Mr.. Nicholas Fish, Who rang himself
10 as successor to Mr.. McAllister, dis
charged, has published new list OF Ia
dies who are to dance before the presi-
dent at the centennial ball. The gentle
mans idea of patriotism is queer one.
On his list are names that should rever
appear there, no matter how lovely are
the ladies that bear them, as, for in
stance, Astor, Gerry and De Peyster. A
century ago Henry Astor, head OF the
house by that name, was a butcher on
the Bowery, had been q Hessian soldier
under the British flag, and was still dis
trusted as royal symPathizerj the De-
Psysters we're friends OF she British D0D-
archy and determined foes OF the repub-
lie, while Elbrige Gerry, though Mas-
sachusetts cougressmaD, bad refused to
sign the new constitution. and pre-
dicted confidently the failure OF re-
publican government. The descend.
ants Of these enemies OF the repub-
lie should not be allowed to figure
as pretended friends, especially when
Mrs. Jay. who bears the name OF
patriot whom New York was delighted
to honor, is excluded, after having been
invited by McAllister. Young Fish
should bandsge his head and go read
history.

Tne work of exposing fraud and
cruelty in Chicago public institu-
tions goes merrily on. After the in
dictment of four employees in the
insane asylum for numbering an in
mate, comes the application of sew
eral prominent citizens for the ap-
pointment of a receiver OF the home
of incurables, on the plea that more
than thirty patients have been out
rageously abused and two done to
death. Whatever may be the final
result of the Investigations they will
have the good effect of making bru-
tai overseers very cautious in their
treatment of the helpless creatures
in their charge.

seen for long time than the stories
of imaginary shooting scrapes in

there was no foundation for nine

Danger In Newly Built Houses

There is too great haste in occupying

places there is such demand for dwell

dwellings,. There is more danger 10 this
than is supposed. There is no health
in dampDSss and mold under any cir.
cumstsDces, and living In appartme nts
where the tendency is toward poor ven.
tilation, the danpness OF newly finished
houses contributes largely TO i'll health.

regulation has been adopted which pre-
vents newly buiIt houses from bting oc-

Election day was clear enough to bring
out every Republican voter in the dis
trict, and to have elected the party dele
gates by q much handsomer majority
than is shown in the returns received up
TO the hour of our going to press.
As is shown by the returns much cut

Discovery was the only place where the
votes cast were solid for the respective
candidates. In view Of the majority

Danger to Booth.

Manager Al Hayman of the Baldwin
theater received letter yesterday from
man signing himself Mark Gray Lyon, "
and giving his address as 631 Sacramento
street, this city. From the tone OF the
letter Mr. Hayman has formed the very
reasonable conclusion that the writer's
antecedents, and possibly his sanity,
should be promptly inquired into, and
the case has been placed in the hands of
the detective police OF this city, with
power to act.
The letter states that the wet weather
has driven the writer from the hay fields
and that he has had great difficulty in
procuring work. His difficulties he says,
have been increased by the fact that de-
tectives have been put on his track by
Edwin Booth, the actor. He gives as his
reason for writing to Mr.. Hayman that
he knows Booth to be in bad health. He
Impiores Mr.. Hayman to have these de-
tectives withdrawn from his track, and
cOnfides to him, what is seemly dread
and awful secret, that it is not true that
his (the writer's) left leg and arm are
weak"
Exactly what this weakness has to do
with the writer's being dogged by detec-
tives at the instance of Booth does not
appear, but he adds postscript begging
Mr.. Haymen's attention to an inclosure.
This inClosure is directed TO the super
intendent of the Burlington railroad al
Galesberg, Ill. In it the same writer
speaks Of being the man who had fired
at Booth, the actor, in Chicago number
of years ago, because they thought he
had weak left leg and left arm"
Exactly why Mr.. Booth should have
been selected as target in this connec
ton is left for the reader to explain by
evolution from his inner consciousness
The writer complains also in the post
, script that the Burlington had put de
J tectives on his track, and asks that they
be taken off.

The mugwumps who ran the civil
service reform association are natur-
ally pleased with Bishop Potter's
caustic comment on our politics and
his lecture to the president on his
duty in appointingl men to office.
The bishops sermon has been unfa-
vorably received by the country be-
cause of its pessimistic tone and its
lack of the genuine American quail
ty. In reading It one may readily
fancy that the speaker is Goodwin
Smith or any of the other English
men who see so many demoralizing
tendencies in our political life The
mugwump's attitude has always been
that of harsh critic of every patri,
otic American and toady to every
public man who adopts the British
estimate of our institutions. 1t il
matter for congratulation that the
mugwumps are few in number anC

raised it will result IN bringing here
perhaps thousands of people who
would otherwise remain away, and
should we not celebrate at all, or
rather as city, most OF our citizens
will go to other places where there
are attractions, and we may calculate
upon $4,000 being spent in other
places by people, who, if our citizens
show q proper spirit would spend
their money with US. We should be
able to raise sufficient funds to offer
prizes large enough to bring owners
of horses and yachts here to compete
IN the races. Hose carts could be
brought here and competitive drills
gone through. A two or three DAYS

his ascendency would not injure the
republic AMI that he would never

Boulanger is unable to see that there
is strong feeling in France that
any one who industriously seeks for
insults may find them, and that he
is, therefore, an unsafe man to have
around. Just at present France
needs men who show more anxiety
over the material prosperity of the
country than in maintaining its
honor. A prosperous nation is apt

1t is impossible to reason with such
cranks as the Buckmanites of Illinois
who believe that Christ has appeared
on earth second time in the person
of commonplace German preacher
by the name of Sweinfurth. These
people rest everything upon the
Scriptures, and the wonder is that
their faith is not somewhat shaken
by the thrift displayed by their apos-
tie. Although Christ's teachings
were directly against the accumula-
ton of any wealth, the Rev. Swein-
furth has had a keen eye for the
main chance and has acquired prop
erty worth $4,000 in a few years.
Like most of the professional revival

General Butler showed very bad
taste in utilizing the anniversary Of
the capture of Fort Fisher to accuse
Admiral Porter of cowardice. No
good can come out of the unseemly
discussion to which this charge has
led. Porter was never a brilliant Of
ticer, but he did good service ahd
Butler exaggerates the incident at
Fort Fisher, which forms the
ground work of his accusation. Por>
ter was a naval martlnet, very con-
scious of his dignity and Of the re-
spect which should be paid to his
rank. Butler violated military eti-
quette without scruple, but showed
executive ability of the highest or
der. The two fell ont, naturally, and
Butler has never missed an oppor-
tunity since tho war to remind Porter
of his old grievances. In return for
his yitriolic comment on many pub
lie men, Butler has been probably
the most maligned general who took
part in the rebellion. No calumny
was too gross to gain credence among
his enemies. and the stories of the
spoons are accepted by thousands
who refuse to believe convincing

trash that is sold in most of the cities
