| hold that it is the duty of every col
lege graduate in the land to bear his full
part in some shape in working for the
solution of the great political and social
problems of the day. Especially is it
the duty of each and every one to take
an active part in politics. One of the
finest lines of Lowell's noble war poetry
is that in which he warns the men of his
generation that freedom is not a gift that
tarries long in the hands of towards. So
the men of our generation need to be
warned in turn that civil liberty and
clean, orderly government are not gifts
that tarry long in the hands of supine, of
selfish, of timid, and of lazy people.
Some of our well-educated men seem to
have all the hardy virile qualities knocked
out of them. lis an admirable thing to
be a refined man, but it is far better to be
man.

While the Borden trial has directed all
attention to New Bedford, most mys-
terious murder has been committed in
Lowell. DR.. Henry A. Chaput French
Canadian physician, was found mortally
stabbed. Although conscious for several
hours before death, and in full knowl-
edge that he must die, he refused to give
any satisfactory clue to the identity of
his assailant, although he evidently could
have had he SO wished. The police are
unable to solve this remarkable mys-
terry.

reduction in weight ever recorded is that
of Frederick Fahrback, a New York bar
tender, who last December weighed 3S5
pounds. He used to drink enormous
quantities of beer, thirty glasses day
was the rule, and once he drank hun
bred glasses in ten hours on wager.
He became dropsical, had heart disease
and an enlarged liver and must have died
in short time if he had kept on in his
old ways. The treatment he has taken
is not described, but the first thing was
to give up beer. His only drink since
has been seItzer water. -

political and therefore an extraditable
crime 1t is said that in the thirty-four
extradition treaties lexecuted by this
country since 1912, the assassination
clause appears in but two. These two
treaties are not mentioned; but there
seems to be no good reason why, if such
concession has been made to one other
country, it should not be made to Russia
And it is difficult to see why the assassi-
nation of an emperor should be classed
any differently from the assassination of
any one else. 1t is true that he is des-
potic sovereign, and there is probably
much injustice and persecution in his do
inions. Mr. KEENAN, has visited Siberia,
and has told tales that make the blood of
an American boil. But has it been proven
that any other form of government could
manage affairs better for the hundred
nationalities, that speak forty languages
within the sway of the great White Gar?
Our republican form of government at
tempts to hold the scales of Justice be-
tween three races, the American, Negro
and Chinese. Suppose some foreigner
with Mr.. Remnants power of observation
and faculty for conveying to others the
spirit of the scenes he has witnessed,
had spent last year in the southern and
western portions of this country.
Suppose he had visited Paris, Texas, on
that horrible day when excursion trains
were run on advertised time, to carry
crowds of people into that city to see one
OF the most horrible spectacles of the
age. The mayor of the city dismissed
the public schools in order that children
six and eight years old might be present
to see the eyes burned out of a human
being, and that human being afterwards
burned alive, on the mere suspicion that
he had committed a heinous crime.
And the foreign lecturer could add to
this several, and even many, similar
cases. He could also add that in 1892
alone there were in this country 236
lynchings, while the number of murders
in the country during the same time
were nearly 1000. Gould not foreign
critic make out a black. chapter against
| the government that offers no better pro-
lection to its citizens than this? Yet
after all, we believe our government to
be the best and freest on earth, and our
citizens the most humane and enlight-
ened. Then if these things happen with
US, ought not some charity to be accord
ed to the government Of the Gar, which
| has to deal with a people far less enlight-
ened and humane? The Russian govern
ment needs reforming. but those reforms
must come gradually as the people are
ready for them. The assassination of
Gar or Prince is'not a step to reform,
and there is no reason why America
| should shield such an assassin. AS to
the other clause of the treaty, that relat-
ing to forgery, the point taken seems to
be taken well. Every political refugee
to escape must forge passport, and that
forgery might be the only thing for
| which his extradition could be de-
manded. A man who has committed no
other crime than to offend the gov
eminent of his country, is entitled to
asylum with us. In this point, in the
absence of explanation, the treaty seems
unfortunate and nncalled for, if not pos
