There seems to be good prospect for
the early conclusion of a new extradi-
ton treaty between the United States
and Canada. The new instrument that
is to be proposed from Ottawa. being
framed to meet the objections raised at
Washington against the last one pro-
posed and rejected, will very likely be
promptly ratified when presented to the
senate. The dispatch from Ottawa Civ
ing the information concerning the pro-
posed treaty contains rather significant
statement in reference 10 the concurrence
or not of the English government in the
action of the province in the matter 1t
indicates growing disregard for the au-
thority of the crown, which is liable to
eliminate IN declaration of independ-
ence on the first convenient prevocation.
And the incident referred TO may be
construed as a sort of bid for such pro-
voking action from the mother govern
ment.

From the statement sent out from
Washington City in reference to the Sill
colt defalcation it seems that Sergeant
alarms Leedom is not to be held per-
sonally responsible for the losses sus-
tanned through his subordinates acts, as
has been generally supposed. 1t seems
that the investigation of the matter
ordered by the house was meant to as
certain whether the government shall
make good the amounts stolen, or the
persons whose funds was taken sustain
the losses, the responsibility of the SER
geant-at-arms not being taken into ac-
count. Our guess is that the govern
will be made to stand the loss.

The willingness expressed by the Cher
okee Indians to treat with the commits
sioners on the part of the government
for the REIMBURSEMENT of the Indians
claim 10 disputed lands in the territory
would seem to indicate change of SEN
timent among them on that question.
Still, their leaders. in presuming to die
tate the clause of tie act Of congress
covering that subject under which the
negotiations shall be held, clearly indi-
cate that they mean to play for the
largest amount OF money possible. They
don't seem 10 realize that the govern
ments offer of 1875 per acre is purely
gratuity, a matter of grace on its part;
that 1t may dispossess them entirely
without any compensation whatever and
without violating any of their treaty
rights. In word, the Cnerokees are on
the make and their leaders evidently
fiatter themselves that they are cute
enough 10 bring the government TO their
terms, in part at least. Pursuing such a
policy of dalliance they will be lucky if
they get anything. But the lands in
question will so. just the same.

a Shameful Spectacle.

There are no boys III any other state IN
the union who ever saw whisky running
in streams down the streets as it did last
Saturday in this city. Some OF the little
fellows caught up and drank the contra
band stuff with piteous results TO them
selves. The law should protect the III
nocent youth from such revolving sights
as these, even though the alternative
was the reopening Of the saloon. In the
saloon q minor could not get drink Of
whisky, but when It's running IN the
streets the smallest plckaniny can get
drunk

ing sold or found in place where the
liquor traffic is being conducted. but
when private citizen chooses 10 keep

engaged in the sale of It. it is equally as
illegal for the police authorities to de-
stroy this liquor as it would be for them
to go into that mans larder and
destroy the meats, etc. therein
contained. Legal proceedings will
be instituted against these willful law
breakers and the severity OF their pun
ishment should not be modified bv any

surely slipped the bride on last SATURDAY.

and made TO learn TO distinguish the diff

In speaking Of the resolution adopted
by the Douglas County Farmers alliance
boycotting the local dealers of dressed
beef who get their supplies from the
packing houses, the Kansus City Gazette
very pertinently observes that 'boycotts
never work. The dressed beef men
make a good showing, and many cattle
men agree with them, that the difficulty
is in over production. A fair way to
test the matter would be for the dressed
beef men to shut down, say for thirty
days, and thus restore the market to
what it was before they opened and de-
veloped the dressed beef trade. We
think the cattle IN the hands of the farm
ers would be worth just about what their
hides would bring"

That there are some such cases of I'M

not to be denied, but it will not hold

While it looks like reckless waste to

cheaper than coal 1t is excusable in
those who have the former and not the
latter nor the means of procuring 1t.

THE PRICE OF JURORS.

If our present jury system is to abide with
us, as mud and malaria are doing this
merry winter, something ought to be done
to fix regular tariff for the sale of Jurors.
As it is now any decent, respectable man
who starts out to buy jury has really
nothing sure to go by in estimating how
much money he ought to put in his wallet
This uncertainty is decidedly deleterious
If jurors are for sale they ought to be
marked in plain figures so that the pur-
chaser can feel that he is not paying any
more than his neighbor for prime article
of justice to order.
1t is rumored in the neighborhood of the
Court House that some good creatures have
acted as juror-brokers, buying and selling
juries in small and broken lots after the
manner of curbstone dealers In oil or grain.
But it has always been hard to put ones
hand on a jury-broker when one most
wanted him. Indeed, to-day it is probably
a fact that the jury broker is trying with all
the burning enthusiasm of the gods to be-
come extinct. Consequently some relief is
needed at once.
How would it do to draw up an official
schedule of prices for Jurors, at retail and
wholesale, and intrust its dissemination to
the Jury Commissioners?
