Uses for Presidents Sons.

One Of the most interesting Of recent
politica! developments is the new use
that has been found for the sons Of
Presidents. Il is not necessary 20 make
any comparison here with the early
days Cf the Republic. for Washington
had no son and John Adams took very
good care of his, to the scandal OF his
enemies. But neither in the days of
the Adamses nor for long afterward
was the commercial value of a Presi-
dents sou appreciated as it has been in
our tine.
The latest example OF this is found in
the sudden Importance to which Mr..
Rassell y. Harrison has risen since the
election OF his father as President. Up
10 that time he seems 20 have been
considered a quite ordinary young man
and was left 10 shift for himself in the
wilds or the West. With the incoming
of the new administration il was dis
covered that Russell =. was person OF
extraordinary business capacity and his
services have been sought with an
eSgerness unexamp!ed save in the stint
lar experience OF the sons OF General
Grant.
An enterpTising publisher in New
York has finally captured this promis-
ing scion and has made him a partner
in the great enterprise of printing a
stalwart illustrated paper. The direct
contributions Of Russell Is. do not ap-
pear 20 be important, but he has already
secured for the paper an amount OF free
advertising that could have been OBJ
tained in no other way, a demOnstra>
tiOn that his partners head is level.
The Grant boys did not make out
very well in their business connections.
but that was because their partners IN
fortunately got into jail. The younger
HarTison is in no such danger as that.
so that the value OF his name may have
d more satisfactory test. There are
obvious objections TO the Adams plan
of putting Presidents sons into the
public service, and yet it is necessary to
do something with them. If they can
be made useful in trade, even If only as
sign boards, it will be better than moth
ing .-Pbild. Times.

Az official communication from the
State Department TO the officials at
Wi.kesbarre, Pa. says that the italian
Government refuses 20 surrender the
two Italians charged with the murder
OF Paymaster Mcclure. These men,
Guisippe B-vivino and Vincenza Villa
In, escaped 10 Italy after the murder
and were arrested and imprisoned on
their arrival 10 consequence OF n cable
dispatch accusing them os murder.
Their accomp.ice, Michael RiZzillo, was
captured and is under sentence to be
executed at Wi'kesbarre on June 25.h.
The Italian Government expresses its
willingness To put the men on trial in
that country. This, says the New York
World, is equivalent to protecting the
sssassins from punishment, inasmuch
as it is not likely that anybody would
go to the expense of a prosecution in
Italy, with the transportation of wits
nesses, when the trial would be certain
to be farce.
The United States have extradition
treaties with Italy, OF March %, 1868,
and Jan. 21st. 1869, which include the
crimes Of murder. attempt 20 commit
murder. rape, arson, piracy, mutiny on
board a vessel when accompanied by
violence, burglary, robbery. forgery,
counterfeiting and embezzlement. If
our Government does its duty it will
not allow the italian Government to
violate the stipulations OF these trea>
ties with impunity. If tally is to be at
lioeIty to repudiate and disregard its
sacred obligations, then the treaties
with Government may as we'll be abroS
gated. The assassination of Mcclure
was a cruel and brutal crime, and our
Government will be disgIaced if it
allows Its perpetrators 20 be protected
from punishment.
