THE EXTRADITION or KINGHILLE

THE EXTR1DITION or KING-hILLERS.
The extIadtion treaty with Russia is now
engaging the Senate's attention. So far as
appearances warrant judgment, they indicate
that the treaty will be confirmed The one
clause to which serious objection is made pro-
vides that the murder, or attempted murder of
the Gar, or any member of his family, is not
TO be regarded as a political offence, but is to
be considered eXtraditable. 1t is plauSibiy
contonded that this clause is unnecessary, since
the treaty elsewhere includes murdefers as
subject to eXtraditiOn, and nothing suggests
that the body Of royal parsonage is less
sacred than that of a subject Whatever force
this contention might have, however, is taken
from il by the further observations of Senators
opposed to the treaty. 1t is not wise, they said,
TO hamper the courts in their decisions as to
whether attacks upon the Gar were or were
not political offences.
II this means anything. il means that there
is a question as to the ground covered by the
general clause on murder and assault. it
means that possibly the Car may be therein
afforded less protection than his subjects. From
the point of view taken by those who support
the treaty as it is this admission justifies the
clause objected to. 1t was inserted for the
very purpose of making it sure that the Cars
life is not rendered less secure than other
peoples Now if that is already done by the
general clause, what valid objection can Sen
ators who favor it raise to a second clause
having the same effect, only expressed moro
specifically?
In determining the nature and quality OF
crime. the law looks as we'll at the criminals
intent as at his act. The gravity of the act
is much affected by its motive. To kill the
Gar may or may not be to kill the man who is
the Car. If it can be shown that the murderer
did kill him, and wanted to kill him only be-
cause OF his political relation, the courts would
certainly have a large excuse for holding tho
murderel's act to be political offence. II is
for the Senate to say, therefore, whether it
wishes to throw the protecting arm OF this
Government about n man who murders, no
matter how meanly how sneakingly, how
treacherously, because he doesn't admire the
existing state of things. 1t is not to the point
that the Cars Government is not ideal. 1t
is not to the point that, according to our way
of thinking, the kingly Office is an undesirable
and unnecessary thing. We must remember
that the application by Russia of the principle
for which Senators are contending would havo
provided there safe asylum for Wilkes Booth

Use AND CONTROL OF ELECTRICITY
The problem of the use and control OF cleo
trical currents has come up twice already in
the State Senate. The bill of Senator Roesch,
proposing Board of Control. composed OF one
Republican, one Democrat and one expert mas
been referred to the Judiciary Committee, from
whose hands we hope it Will emerge, II IL
emerge at all, in a very different form from
that which Mr.. Roesch gave to it, Senator
Erwin's resolution, empowering the Committee
on General Laws to investigate the whole sub
iect as preliminary to legislation, was passed
Yesterday. This promptness In taking up
question of vital import is entirely commend
able. We trust that it may lead TO useful re-
suits
That a more precise knowledge of the con-
ditions under which electricity may be safely
employed for domestic purposes is an impcla-
tive necessity is not likely to be disputed by
anybody, unless it be by the companies which
until recently considered themselves licensed
TO do what they chose with a deadly and nys-
terous agent Just how much light the Sen
ate Committee to which the problem has been
referred VIII be able to throw upon it remains
TO be seen. We believe that it does not con-
tain single member who is known to possess
exceptional familiarity with electrical matters,
but this is not necessarily equivalent to saying
that the committee will not be able to elicit
valuable information from trustworthy sources
and to construct a safe and hopeful basis for
wise legislation We do not regard the commit
tee as an ideal means of public enlightenment,
and we do not imagine that Senator Erwin so
regards it. There is no exact, comprehensive
and authoritative fund of knowledge from
which such facts as this committee is in search
of can be drawn at will. But it is desirable
that our lawmakers should have better under
standing of the subject before they undertake
to prescribe the manner in which the employ
ment of electrical currents shall be systematzed
and controlled. We do not know of any more
direct and hopeful means to this end than the
investigation which Senator Erwin's committee
has been instructed to undertake. If we
did, we should certainly advocate its adoption.

TIE UJNOPITTS RIGHTS.

1t is highly refreshing to hear Mr.. Carlisle,
Mr.. Mills and Mr. Breckenridge t;!lk about tho
"rights of the minority" We were under the
impression that they did not believe the mi
nority had any rights at all. That was Ger
tainIy the principle upon which they acted
last year when they locked themselves in a
Darkroom, barred the shutters, and built a
Tariff bill by the light of a taliOwdip. If
there is anything in which the minority has
rights, it is in the preparation of bills. If
there is any place where it has rights, the com
mittee-room is that place and yet the very
men who denied to their Republican fellow
members of the Ways and Means Committee
the right, not merely to offer suggestions and
evidence as what were fair rates of duty, but
even to know what rates had been chosen
these very men are now maintaining that it is
the right Of the minority to block the wheels
of Congress, and to veto by filibustering what
they cannot veto by votes
Naturally, Speaker Reed does nOi see it that
way. 1t is his theory that the minority is en-
titled to fair opportunity to express its views
but he does not conceive that it has any right
to hinder the free action of those upon whom
the people have imposed the responsibility of
government. Nor will he be moved from this
safe and creditable position by any exhibitions
of partisan resentment in which the Democrats
NAV indulge. The Democrats are banking on
the assumption that the publio's wit is dull ;
that it will not understand squabbles over
points of order, and tho various devices of
parliamentary procedure, and that by posing
as the victims of a tyrannical Speaker Cthe
public being mystified as to the merits of tho
controversy, they can create a popular i'm
preston that the Republicans are tearing the
Constitution into shreds This is poor policy.
party which deliberately acts on the assump-
ton that it can trick the people will presently
realize that it has merely tricked itself. Tho
people understand this two-penny cackle about
the rules perfectly. Mr.. Henderson gave ID
to them all in a nutshell the other day when
he said "The gentIepen on the other sido
are opposed to doing anything without rules,
and they want rules adopted under which
nothing can be done"

We believe that it was Josh Billings who OBJ
served that the best place to have a boil is on
some other fellow" The commission appointed
10 select site for new State Prison doubtless
would have found less difficulty in reaching n
conclusion il each county had not held that the
best place to have prison is in other county
The Commission has reported in favor of a ste
in the town of EsOpus Ulster County. "The
Kingston Freeman in behalf Of the county, files
an earnest protest. 1t holds that if the choice
of the Commission is ratified by the Legislature
property for miles up and down the Hudson and
back of it in both directions far the eye
can reach" will deprecate 1t also objects on
the ground that the prison would fill the county
with criminals, "who would come up the river to
zee their friends" There is force in these con-
siierations but, then, if we are to have new
prison. it must needs be placed in some county

gests that the existing prisons might be enlarged,
but we do not understand that Westchester

and Guiteau. Certainly the people OF the
United States could never indorse the morality
of the claim that tho way to secure popular
sovereignty is by uowardly shots and stabs adj
ministered until royalty is extinct. The right
to murder a king means the right to murder
any Chief of State, whatever he may be called
or however placed in authority, if any one
murderously inclined happens to think it best
to kill him. There is no way to draw dis
tinction. What our system proclaims is the
right of the majority, acting for ALL to abolish
an Office not the right of an individual, acting
for himself, to abolish an oiiicehoder.

Mr.. Gladstone worked good deal of one thing

the rest was reference TO the new American
navy. The circumstances of our building some

Americans generally will agree with Mr.. Glad

the necessities which compel nations to arm them

Senator Ingallss speech on Senator Buffers
bill did not disappoint expectations. The elo-
ouent Kansas Senator's arraignment OF the
South for its treatment OF the negroes was
crushing in its force and unanswerable in its
logic. His summing-up of the case in behalf
of the colored race was mastery. -Four meth
DDS of dealing with them, he said, had been
proposed-emigration, determination, ABSORB
ton and disfranchisement. Mr.. ingalls, pro-
posed fifth-justice The South capnot deny
the charge that it has never begun to do the
negro justice, to treat him as man and

raignment? Senator Butler builded better
