The Doodle coionists Of Canada Must Go
Elsewhere.

MaSrEEAT.. March 9.--Prosessor Weldon
ha~ gst hisase.f d4iife9 by tie Gistn gllisled
"boosl ~ from the United States res dent
in Canada. Toe tn.iness interests of these
men, as well rs their personal safety, have
been imperlled by the new extradition bin
which the professor has introduced il the
Dominion parliament
Among the crimes included IN IL in addi-
ton to those covered by the present law, are:
Larceny, embezzlement, obtaining money,
goods or securities under fa'se pretenses, abb
duction, KIDNAPPING, burglary, shuplifting
and robbery. Bride giving and receiving is
not inciudel, but amendment to cover
them is unier prepar4t on.
At a meeting with closed doors it was re-
solved 10 famper with the Canadian legisla-
tors and endsavor to defeat the bill. This
would require large outlay Of money, and
subscriptions would have TO be taken up at
once Emo is said to have he ded the list with
a goodly sum, Axwortfy was liberal and
Keenan, Clipped in Mother Mandelhauni,
ex-Alder1nen Saylcs, Dempsey and De Lacy,
Henry Dilckman, William Maloney and
others We're communicated with Virtuous
Canadians say that the feeling of the people
is 50 strong against the disgrace inflicted ON
their couatry by the fellowship of the hood
lers that no amount Of money can procure the
defeat of the bill.
Professor Weldon makes the following ex-
PLANTATION of his purpose in introducing the
bill:
Il as well as any respectable man in the
Dominion, am suffering from the facility
with which thief, or blackmailer, or briber,
or embezzler can find a refuge here. / go to
a hotel, and the chances are that my name ON
the register is preceded by that of some well
known American boodler or defaulter.
I'm the dining room the chances are that
am put ut the same table with this thief; /
ride beside him on railroad cars; he sits in
the galleries of this house and mikes with my
family and frien,s; he Hobbies in the halls
OF legislation; he is oinnipresent leers into
your face, and obtrudes his unsavory per-
sonality and worse character at every
turn you make; he occupies a box at the
theatre while you sit in the stalls; he obtains
control of important manufacturing inter-
eSts and becomes director in corporations
chartered by the Dominion or provinces; he
is a social Pariah, a national disgrace, a
menace to our institutions and a temptation
to our clerks, our business men, our cashiers,
our bank fiiciais and our children to do
wrong and live IN luxury on the other side of
the line, safe from pursuit and punishment.
