The HERALD to-day received letter
signed "a Christian Mother" in which much
consideration is given to the existence Of
gambling dens in this town. The communi-
cation is a very interesting one and if one
half the statements are facts there is GER
tainIy good grounds for complaint. We
would like to give the letter in full to the
public, but the old obstacle again arises, the
correspondent fails to furnish her real name
as an evidence Of good faith. She accounts
for this by saying, "When 1 make threats
against these places he her husband) says il
/ make any complaint against those dens he
will leave me and my little children and 1
am afraid to mention my name for fear my
husband will find it out and abuse me, but
perhaps you can guess where this comes from,
| for gambling is breaking our family up
| Notwithstanding these reasons we cannot
publish the letter as desired 1t contains the
names Of several men who are alleged to b,
promoting the evil and specifics places where
/ it is carried on. Should the HERALD make
the charges public and be called upol tt
prove them we would find, as we have in the
past. that no one would step forward to hell
us, for reasons similar 10 those which tn,
correspondent gives for not giving us her rea
name and as a result we would be left in th'
lurch A warrant sworn out on one half th
letter sets forth would be effective.

1t has again become apparent that certain
people are eXerting themselves to throw dis.
trust upon the HERALD's teachers contest.
Some of the tactics adopted by these people
are so despicable and cowardly that we have
concluded to bring them, or those who fool.
ishy allow themselves to be misguided by
their statements, to a realization of the fact
that in putting the contest ON foot we have in
no wise licensed any one to 60 beyond the
bounds Of reason in criticism of the manage
ment Of the affair, or Of those who have that
management in hand
Now once again we call upon the slanderers
to whom we refer to come forward with any.
thing which they deem is proof that fraud in
any way enters into the management of the
contest.
1t is known that some parties who are in
dustriously working upon the sentiments Of
some of the contestants to encourage a spirit
of distrust are working for the interests of
their own favorites and hope, by reducing
| the number of contestants and votes to en-
hance their chances, This spirit has been
especially noticeable since the announcement
| by the HERALD that it would offer extra in
ducemcnts to the contestants
We have repeatedly announced, and We
now reiterate that we are exertiug all our
powers TO conduct the contest as fair as time,
| labor and integrity can make it. We thought
we had convinced all our friends Of this, bu
! we find that some are weak enough to listen
to and give color of plausibility to the
cloaked reports Of few jealous and mischief
making people.
For the last time we assure the public tha
we are conducting the contest on fair and
honest basis.
Now we claim to have some rights in thi
affair and we propose to assert them in orde
to protect ourselves against the designs 0
would be destroyeTs Of the affair and as tn
first step:
First-We win postpone announcing GU
f extra inducements until Saturday, the llu
inst.
second-We want all contestants to under
stand that we invite all evidence that wi
show a uuge of fraud in the contest.
, Third-We win give each contestant unit
S the llth inst. to produce any evidence
fraud and wait until that time for any on
who will not be convinced to Withdraw.

stat d March llth) We will consider all i,

of school houses, apparatus and textbooks in
his jurisdiction and in closing his report
says; 81 would again urge the directors to
elect teachers on merit, pay better salaries,
and employ the very best talent available for
all their schools, especially for primary
schools. The large increase of state appro-
priation will afford directors an excellent OPP
portunity of increasing the salaries of
teachers, lengthening the school term, and
adopting the system of free textbooks

The Russian Patriots Views on the Proposed
Extradition Treaty.


Stepniak. the Russian patriot, has written a
letter to President Cleveland making a strong
protest against the Russian extradition treaty.
The letter deals with the impossibility of
securing under the new treaty any pledge from
Russia which will make il certain that an extra
dited person will be tried and punished only for
the offense for which be is claimed, and quotes
history to show how many promises TO that
effect have bee violated. He says the treaty
is in violation of all the principles OF justice,
upon which there is no divergency Of opinion
In civilized countries.
mo civilized country" says Stepniak, sex
tradites criminals TO China or Turkey, where
the Judicial proceedings are entirely barbarous.
Russia is not Turkey or China She has regular
courts Of justice. with jurors and publicity of
proceedings. But these courts are reserved ex-
clusively for common, non-politicsl offenses.
with the exception OF Vera Zssulch. the
girl who in 1877 attempted the life of Gen.
Trepoff. and was acquitted by the jury. which
admitted exceptional provocations, no offense
committed from any political motive
has been submitted in Russia to a jury.
All political offenses are tried in the
tribunals which It would be derision to call
courts Of justice. The judges are appointed
by the government there and are absolutely
dependent upon and subservient to it The
trials are secret. neither the public nor press
men being admitted. No reports Of the pro-
ceedings are published. Even the places of
the trials and the names of the judges are often
unknown to the public. These are facts which
cannot be disproved or challenged or doubted.

lenses which are now made extraditable and as
similating them to criminal offenses the Ameri-

Of the transaction, bound to ask from the Rus

Tho New York Herdld's correspondent 81

Grave political troubles are reported from al
parts of Peru. The most serious disorder &c
far reported occurred at the towns of Cuterno
and Chote. An armed body of men, headed by
Gabriel Rivera and . man named Gusrro, at.
tackled the governors palace. ''VivA Pierola
Was their battle cry.
The attack upon the palace began at O'Clock
in the afternoon and the siege lasted until 3
O'Clock on the following day. During all tina,
time the mob held possession Of the towns and
made known their political sentiments by con.
tinually shouting "Viva Pierola, !" the e1-dicta-
tor, who Is now in exile in this city, being their
candidate for president.
While one portion Of the mob held the towns
another besieged the governors palace. and
many volleys were fired at the official residence.
Rosaia Pilla, one Of the defenders of the house,
was killed.
just as the mob was about to batter down the
doors OF the palace. while their leaders were
shouting skill the governor" the troops who
had been sent for appeared. The soldiers
charged upon the rioters. Rivera. their real
leader, was killed by the first volley fred by
the troops. With the loss OF their leader and
the approach OF the soldiers the rioters became
discouraged.
They ceased firing and fed in all directions,
but they carefully retained their arms, which

Besides the leader. Rivera, three other riot
ers and child were killed. More than twenty
persons were wounded during the fight

sons in the crowd. The guards around the
palace were about to fire when the crowd fed.
