committed in the course Of Q general uprising
for the overthrow Of the existing govern
ment. But it is claimed tina. our treaty
goes much farther than this and compels
us for instance to surrender to Russia
one who has merely failed to give information
concerning . conspiracy involving the life Of
the car. And such persons under the Russian
law tried secretly by special tribunals, not
by juries, and are punished by death. 1t is
also to be remembered that while ordinary
not even murder. all these political offenses,
however slight on the surface, may be pun
ished unfortunately by death. 1t is also
guessed that the treaty makes extraditable
under the head of forgeries the forgery Of acts
Of government, which it is thought would COM
pei the surrender Of one who had committed
the offense, unavoidable by persons opposed
to the existing form of government, Of
forging the passport necessary to enable
him to depart from the empire. The charge
is confidently made and instances are cited
to prove that when on any pretext Russia
has once obtained possession OF persons
who are really accused Of political offenses no
attention whatever is paid to the offense named
in the extradition proceedings The trial Of
these political offenses being secret, without
the intervention Of a jury. the unfortunate
person extradited may be tried on any charge
and whisked away to Siberia or executed with
out the facts being generally known and with
out opportunity to protest being given to the
country which has extradited the accused. The
American public is not at all anxious to protect
assassins, or to welcome enthusiastically to its
ho bali xba
as a means of enforcing their the
cries of government But at the came time it
is entirely GU. of harmony with republican
principles to make an attempt upon
the life of monarch any more
serious offense than an attempt on the
life of ordinary individual. And it will
be shocking to all republican and all American
ideas if we have tied our hands that We shall
be compelled to surrender to Russia a person
charged merely with concealing information
concerning conspiracy against the car or
charged merely with the offense of forging the
passport necessary to enable him to leave the
when the natural results OF such sur
render will be the trial of the person surreu-
dered in secret, without the Intervention of
jury, and with the punishment of exile and
even death for offenses which are thus punished
solely on account of their political character.
In our efforts to prevent the republic from
harboring assassins we should not permit our
selves to go to the extreme Of conniving with
Russia for the Siberian exile or death Of those
who are not please with the absolute despotism
which prevails in that country, including even
those VINO by forg ng passports attempt to fly
from the Internal treatment which they there
endure.
But first Of all let the government Of the
people, by the people and for the people in
form the people what in this matter in the
peoples name has been stipulated and agreed.

The examination of the sanitary condition Of
the public schools disclosed that two are unfit
TO be used. There are doubtless others which,
while not in so bad state as to compel con-
demnation, are not as they should be- No pre-
cautions can be too great in respect to the
healthfulness of the rooms in which SO large
proportion Of the children of the city spend SO
many hours of the day. The authorities have
steadily and theoretically labored to secure the
erection of more school buildings, modern in
construction, ventilation. &c, and much has
been accomplished of late years in this re-
gard. But evidently there can be no relaxation
in this crusade for more schools until accom-
modations are provided for those children who
are now housed, to some extent necessarily, in
rooms which should not be used for school
purposes.

Those who know anything of the resources Of
this country hardly need the reinsurance given
by the President in his timely utterance re-

maintain the public credit. government

BILE that efforts are being made by capitalists,
as it is asserted, to drive the government into a
corner, so to force it to issue more.

The Chinese shave nearly every
day. A queer little razor it is that
they use, too. 1t is in no respect like
our razor, except in the matter of the
keenness of its edge. It is wee bit of
blade, nicely curved into a semicir-
Gle. With this tool the Chinese barber
scrapes the almost hirsuteless face Of
his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck to
the first bone of the spinal column.
The rounded point of the razor is also
inserted into the celestial ear. and
every ambitious hair that dares to
show itself in the auricular lobe il
clipped before it proceeds very far.
