try after the ratification of the treaty,
and that there is nothing to prevent
Russia's demanding the arrest and re-
turn of man upon some charge speci-
fed in the treaty as extraditable and
then trying and Furnishing him for some
ofense of which the treaty takes no cog
nizance, or even imprisoning him or ban
ishing him to Siberia without any trial.
Few men are SO well qualified as Mr..
KEENAN, to speak with authority con-
corning the Russian juridical and penal
systems. His travels in Siberia and
Russia, his exceptionally intimate knowl-
edge of the people and their language
and his lifelong habit of investigating
and digesting facts for publication all
contribute to make his opinions worthy
of due consideration. Mr.. KEENAN, has
devoted the better part of his life to Rus
STA and the Russians, and his books and
the magazine articles on Siberian pris-
ons that established his fame were but
the elimination of years of laborious
preparation, much of it apparently for
tuitous, but all Of it especially valuable.
In 1865 Mr.. Kennan, then but 30 years
of age, undertook his first journey to ST.
IBERIA in the interest of projected Rus
sian-American telegraph scheme. The
two years Of multiplied hardships that
he then spent there proved an admirable
preparatory school, His book, 'Tent
Life In Siberia" was the outcome. In
1870 he made tour of Daghestan ON
horseback, travelling alone and facing
dangers almost beyond belief. In 1885
and 1886 he made the great journey for
which he will probably always be best
remembered, but whose worth cannot be
at all accurately estimated if it be con-
sidered merely by itself and separately
from the experiences and influences that
made the travellers observations and de-
auctions especially valuable. 1t is pretty
certain that he has not said his last word
about the treaty.

SOMETHING ABOUT COLUMBUS.
The Big Spectacle with tho Greatest Show
on Earth,

Barnum 6 Bailey's mammoth show
will be given under colossal waterproof
tents. Some time has elapsed since this
stupendous combination of dazzling
wonders has been seen here. Since then
it has been enlarged and improved to
wonderful extent. In the unparalleled
exhibition this year will be seen triple
circus crowded with the foremost eques-
TRANS of the world, hippodrome, a
double menagerie filled with rare and
curious animals, gathered at great cost
from the four quarters of the globe, two
herds of performing elephants, two
stages for special performances, and a
third stage of large dimensions for the
sublime, historical spectacle Columbus
and the discovery of America.
Twelve hundred people appear in the
living picture of Spain in the 18th
century. These include priests. sailors,
knights. mobiles, pilots, friars, kings,
princes, Moors, eeurtiers. soldiers,
characters and ballet of three hundred
charming ladies, dancing beauties from
Italy, France, Spain, Germany, England
and America. For this gigantic display
Of historic splendor and glory stage
four hundred feet long has been erected.
Last year the press and public went wild
in acclamations over the extent and
magnifcence of this spectacle, which
will he Saan l,a,n n 6 ~ woo ri Won in Nav
York. Indeed, the great show has been
improved in many respects since it was
shown there. In the circus department.
alone one hundred acts are given at
every performance, afternoon and eve
ming, by as many daring champion
equestrians, athletes, gymnasts, Jug
glers and aerobats. There are twenty
acts in which perfectly trained animals
are seen with twenty eomical clowns.
Several of them were acknowledged to
be the funniest fellows in Europe before
Barnum g. Bailey engaged them. After
the acts in the three circus rings and on
the two elevated stages numerous hip
podrome races take place. Besides the
most marvellous feats in mid-air the
whole entertainment is of such grand
character as to amaze every one. A
children's circus, too, is especially pro-
vided for the delectation of the little
folks. The new million dollar free
street parade will take place on the
morning of the shows arrival, and is
said to be the finest of its kind on earth.
1t will all be here on Monday next July
18th.

Secretary Gresham reports that
the Hawaiian Government was
overthrown by the United States,
and holds that it should be restored
by the United States as an act of
simple justice. If these are the
facts and that is to be the outcome,
was ever a mighty nation put in a
more humiliating position than
this has been placed in by the
astounding action of Minister Stew
ensP IL the greatest of republics
finds itself in a position from which
it cannot extricate itself honorably
without using it's power to restore
a puny barnacle of royalty to a
grimcrack throne, how Infamous
was the conduct of the republics
representatives who abused their
prerogatives to put it in such a po-
sition, by entering into plot with
aliens to overawe and rob
a weak people of their institutions
and their fatherland! In this light
the Hawaiian incident is not only
the most shameful page in the re-
cord Of the late administration, but
it is one of the blacklist which
darkens our whole national history.

The report for September from
the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department continues to
tell the story of our lessened trade
IN consequence of McKinleyism.
During the month our imports,
free and dutiable, amounted to $46,-
SO3,59O, against $e7,4ee,Oe2 in
September, 1922 falling off of
$21, 162,472. For the nine months
ending with September 30, the i'm
ports were $625,331, 972, against
1886, 100000 for the corresponding
month of 1892, a falling off of
nearly eleven millions. Our ex-
ports for September were in ex-
cess of the exports of September a
year ago; but for the nine months
they were $66, $685. 400 less than for
the corresponding month of 1892.
Here is total falling off in trade in
nine months of nearly $4,000, 900.

Better Now than Next Year.

The Republicans take their own
vote; they take a large share of the
floating vote; they have portion
of the Independent vote that had
not for years previously been in
sympathy with them. The Demo-
Gratis, after three years of triumph
encounter year of reverse. They
have the consolation of knowing
that their defeat could not have
easily come in year when it would
do their party less damage. 1t
does not interfere with the control
of Congress, and their President
comes out Of it with enhanced rep
utation, if that were possible, and
sustained, if not a strengthened
hold upon the co nfidence of the
country. A defeat under such con-
ditions is far from irreparable. 1t
may be but temporary reverse, if
the defeated party needs its admon-
ition and acts with greater wisdom
in the future. To do this, they
must rally more than ever about
their President, and be mindful of
the reasonable requirements of the
business of the country. If they
fail to do this, other defeats await
them, and defeats not as easily re-
covered from as this may be-

Assessment Insurance.

Members of fraternal, or assess
ment insurance companies through
out the country will be interested
in the forthcoming annual session
in Chicago of the national frater-
nal congress, which is composed Of
the supreme officers and delegates
of all secret organizations having
an insurance feature. Since the
beginning of the year the mortality
among some Of these organizations,
despite the fact that no epidemic or
unusual sickness has prevailed, has
obtained extraordinary dimensions,
and in one organization at least,
which boasts of a large member
ship, no less than six double assess
ments have been made during the
spring, the death list having been
heavier than during the terrible
epidemic Of la grippe. Considera-
able of this mortality, moreover,
has been among members Of COM
paratively recent connection with
the organization, decided Irregular
ity or carelessness in the matter of
expert medical explanations being
thus apparently demonstrated.
There is considerable alarm over
these developments among the
members of different societies, who
argue that if these conditions pre-
vail in a comparatively healthy
period bankruptcy will inevitably
follow serious epidemic, and the
conditions that have brought about
this state of affairs will be thorough
ly ventilated at the congress.-Ex.

The November elections resulted
in the Republicans carrying, by
large majorities, the states of Ohio,
Massachusetts,, Iowa, and New
York. The officers elected were
mostly local and have but little eff
feet on national affairs. At De-
troit the Democrats elected their
candidate for Congressman, and in
dicates that Michigan Democrats
are still firm in their belief that a
reduction of the tariff taxes would
prove beneficial, as the recent panic
has showed Democrats the bad eff
feet Of the Mckinley tariff law. In
Virginia and Kentucky the Demo-
Gratis were successful. The Repub-
lican victory in New York was
owing to great extent to the re-
volt Of thousands of Democrats,
who voted for Republican candi-
dates in order to condemn the ring
methods by which unworthy can
didates had been nominated on the
Democratic ticket. We consider
the recent elections have but very
little significance as far as regards
national questions, and they will
not affect Congressional action to
any great extent. The tariff taxes
will be reduced.

Nations Library.

The process of gliding the dome
of the congressional library build
ing has progressed far enough to
indicate that when completed this
golden dome will one of the most
conspicuous and beautiful objects
in Washington. There are not
many gilded domes in the world.
The Hotel des Invalides in Paris,
the Connecticut state house at
Hartford, and the Massachusetts,
state house at Boston, are the best
known. The dome of the new
library building is larger than any
of these-two-thirds larger, it is
estimated, than the famous dome
of the state house in Boston.
There is a total surface Of 10000
square feet to be gilded. More gold
will be used on this dome than any
other in the world. This is ap-
propriate to the new library build
ing, as the structure will be the
largest of it's kind, covering no
fewer than four acres. The con-
tract for the granite alone was ST.
100000, the largest contract for
stone ever awarded at single time.
The building will not be completed
for four years. When finished it
will have a capacity, according to
the calculations of Librarian Spot
ford, to accommodate all the books of
the world for 100 years to come
and still leave seven-eighths of it's
available space applicable for other
purposes. The rotunda is 140 feet
in diameter-44 feet greater than
the rotunda of the capitol. 1t will
be finished in marble from floor to
ceiling and will surpass the famous
reading room of the British mu-
seum.-Ex.
