WHAT THE EXTRADITI0N TREATY
GRANTS TO RUSSIA.

II we accept the definition Of the Rus
sian penal code. a revolutionary con
spiracy of any kind is, co~nstructively. an
attempt upon the life of the Isar, and,
as such. is punishable by death. Is the
government of the United States pre-
pared to admit that a political conspiracy
which may threaten the Tsar's life is. in
fact, an ttenlpt upon his life so direct az
to deprive the cnnspirator of the right of
asylum in the United States under the
pending treaty. Ii we are to accept the
Russian law as our guide we must be
prepared to surrender all Russian
refugees who have consplred against
The Tsar's government aud who have
undertaken to overthrow it by violent
means. In making such surrenders,
however, we shall do for the support and
encouragement of tyranny what the
government of Great Britain has always
refused to do. and shall turn our backs
upon the history and the traditions OF the
Anglo-Saxon race.-Ge0rge Kennan in

Young woman, whom he ndnce TO mar

Fisher quarrelied, and Fischer ir a spirit
of revenge wrote to Warmers wife III
Austria, and succeeded IN bringing her
to this country to prosecute her bigamous
husband.
Warner was greatly enraged, and on
October 20. 1887. he went 10 the shoe
store in Poughkeepsie, where Fischer
was employed, and shot him dead. War

Special to The Jersey City Neies.
TRENTON, May %, 1s93.-A gentleman
intimately acquainted with the powers
that be at Washington. III talking with a
reporter Saturday, on the night over the
Trenton Postmastership, said most en-
pnatically that ex-City Treasurer Samuel
Walker would be the mex Postmaster of
Trenton. The gentleman occupies
such a position as to know what
he was talking about, and from the man
ner in which he spoke it Was rea-
sonable to infer that the appointment
had been decided upon. There is good
reason To believe thas the plan of the
authorities is to adhere to the declaration
that Postmaster Yard will not be dis
turbed until his term of office expires III
December. Theu Mr.. Walkers appoint
menu will be made. aud all those patriots
who are wasting the time and money
going TO Washington in search OF an OPP
p%ortunity to serve their country at 81, SUI
per atlnun, may.as well cease their vain
labors. There will be no election. and it
looks now as il it was never intended
that there should be. Mr.. Walkers en-
dorsements and those who pressed his ap-
pointment appear to have been satisfac-
Tory the Administra alton, aud it Is evident
thai Mr.. Walkers appointments had been
practically agreed uDon sotne time ago.

THE NATION STIRRED.
II don't wonder thai the sentiment of
this nation is being stirred. To whom
would the Sabbath be a holiday. To the
employees ut the fair? To the cond uctcrs
and drivers on the railroadsa | answer
No. This nation has invited exhibitors
to place product of soil and mechanics on
show. Many of these people are Chris
tians. Have these no rightsf In the
Vienna exposition the only exhibits closed
on Sunday were the American and Eag-
lish. Open the gates ar Chicago and
America stands before the world as a
hypocrite. Take the religious element
out OF the Sabbath and where is its force?
What chauce would a poor man nave ID
this world. He would have to work on
Sunday as well as OIL Saturday. Save the
American Sabbath and you nave a ma
ton. Long live the American Sabbath
and perish the hand that would destroy
it.O

CHICAGO'S FAIR COURSE"
Pastor Lowrie Denounces the Pro-
3osed Sunday Opening
Enemies of the Sab
bath.

The Rev. D. r. Louvre of the Emory
NJ. E. Church. last evening preached an
Interesting sermon on the opening of the
Chicago Fair on Sunday. L during his
discourse bitterly attacked the Roman
Catholic Church. He chose as his text,
Nehemiah xii, 1921. He said:-
"The morals of society are The source
of its ~erfnauenc Il s%treneuh. The
power and influence OF Il nation rests on
the moral sense of its people. The
Christian Sabbath is so interviewer with
our domestic life and labor, that we must
guard against any attempt TO chang its
purpose. Ii a proposition TO abolish the
Christian Sabbath were submitted to the
people, | would V nc doubt
as TO the result. But those
opposed to it WONT approach US
on that line. Their present cry Isl
what we want is liberty for the poor
man. Give him a chance to ENJOY the
Sabbath" But the worklngmen don't
accept that proposition. They don care
for it. They want the Sabbath because
they know It's value. If it is ouce lost in
this couDtry it will never be reinstated.
SABBATH DEsTRoYERs.
stToday there are three classes whose
