extradited person is acquitted after a fair
judicial trial he shall be secured in his
freedom against any further proceeding.
That is to say, in Russia one may be freed
by court, but be seized and transported
or imprisoned by administrative order"
So that ifone were surrendered to Russia,
tried for the extraditable offense and ac-
quilted, being within Russian territory,
he could still be seized by imperial de-
cree by that mysterious and deadly sad
ministrative process"
Thus, if one were surrendered on a
charge of being accessory to murder,
where the killing was the taking of the
life of a Russian official, the plea of "polit-
icaI offense" not being held to cover assas-
sination, and if such a one should be ac-
quilted, it is altogether possible for him
to be seized by administrative order''
and even executed, because under the
treaty he is not given opportunity to re-
turn to the country from which unwill-
ingly brought.
There is no provision in the treaty that
the surrendered person shall be tried for
the otfense according to the deliberate
judicial procedure of Russia, defective,
swift and merciless as it is. We concede
to Russia the right to treat the prisoner
on his trial according to her own accepted
methods. We probably could not do
otherwise, since we recognize Russia as
acivilized nation, yet have full knowledge
that there is power, autocratic and cruel,
that is superior to the judicial and may at
will ignore the DEGREES of the latter, so
that acquittal in Russia is by no means
assurance of liberty or exemption from
punishment, though the exposition of in
nocence may be complete.
If Russia surrenders to us a criminal
she does so knowing that he will be tried
according to our mild and merciful pro-
cedure, and that if he is acquitted there is
no possibility of his being seized by any
power superior to the law and subjected
to any punishment. If we surrender a
refugee to Russia we do so in the face OF
the fact that even his clear showing OF
innocence is not absolute guaranty of his
discharge from custody.
We could not treat with Russia for ex-
tradition, however, and insist upon any
thing to prevent this, with any hope OF
Russia agreeing thereto. 1t was, there
fore, question of recognizing Russia's
methods of trial and procedure and her
autocratie processes. or of having with
her no convention whatever for return OF
our offenders who seekasylum in Russian
territory.
Was that advantage worth the surren-
der we make? We think not. Do our
escaping criminals flee to Russian terri
tory in sufficient number; do they seek
in that territory refuge at the peril OF
Russian suspicion, surveillance and ex-
pulsion in sufficient number to warrant
the treaty with the defects pointed outP
We think not.

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.
Some of the Aims of the Cleveland Ad-
ministration.


ministration.
The new administration by the pledges
of President Cleveland's inaugural adj
dress is committed:
1. To sound and stable currency.
2. To refuse bounties and subsidies.
3. To check wild and reckless PEN
sion expenditure.
4. To limit public expenditures to
public necessities.
5. To make efficiency rather than
partisan service the basis of appoint
meutS to office.
6. To use the powers of the federal
government to restrain trusts and COM
Dimes.
Z. To secure to all citizens equality
before the law.
s. To accomplish tariff reform and
make the necessity for government
revenue the limit of the exercise of the
taxing power.
1t is democratic programme. a pro-
gramme which the people wish to see
carried out. It will be opposed stub
bornly at every point by interests
which thrive on the evils democratic
endeavor seeks to correct, but Presi-
dent Cleveland in carrying it out will
have the disinterested. patriotism of
the country supporting him as it has
seldom, if ever before, united to sus-
tain president In his policy. Albany

No Mercy For the Coal Combine and Its
PICTURED Agents
ST. PAUL. Mimi, March 24-The mass
meeting to protest against the coal
combine at Market hall last evening"
was one of the largest held in St Paul
in many years and would have been
much larger had the building been
larger. Brief addresses Were made by
many leading citizens, but the chief
speech OF the evening was made by
Senator Donnelly, who promised that
two or three leading members of the
coal combine would be landed in state
prison for perjury and that the erimi-
nal conspiracy under which people are
obliged to pay from - to $ per ton
bonus to the coal barons for the privi-
lege of burning anthracite coal would
be broken up. He referred sarcastically
to the threat of Pennsylvania mine
owners to shut off the Minnesota coal
supply, and said personally he was will
ing to retire to his Nininger retreat and
burn wood until the millionaires are
ready to capitulate-

CIeveIand's Intentions Concerning the
Parasites of the Moribnnc PIutocracy.
President Cleveland has determined
upon policy that will reduce the num-
Der of appointive positions within the
gift of the administration, and will also
reduce the burden of taxation visited
upon the people of the country. In
every department there is surplus of
clerks and other employees. In some
instances they are SO numerous as to
positively impede the transaction of
public business and detract from the
efficiency of department work. This
evil has grown up in the federal sys-
tenn from the same causes that have
operated in this and other great munic-
qualities of the country. 1t is the re-
suit of pernicious political system
which develops and thrives until it be-
comes unbearable to those who must
meet the bills, or is terminated by the
Intervention of a strong hand like that
of the man who has for second time
been called to the presidency Of the
United States.

Euous employees and run the Offices OF

the government upon sound business
principles viii meet with strong APP
proval outside of the comparatively in
significant number who have profted
under the existing order of things
The insincerity, extravaganza and
downright corruption OF the repub-
lean administrations are nowhere
more plainly seen than in the
multiplication of Offices and places
where the strikers and blow
ers of the organization can re-
ceive payment for services rendered
to those who d;sburse these coveted
plums. When ahenchman was to be re-
warded and no vacancy existed through
which the obligation could be met, a
new place has been promptly created.
1t was needed for no other purpose,
but from purely political standpoint
that need has been sufficient. The
pay rolls were increased regardless OF
any other consideration. and the in
evita BILE result is apparent in the thon-
sands of govern ment employees who
render no equivalent for the Sala-
ries which they draw. These barnacles
are to be removed and the working
force so reduced that it shall only be
equal to the reasonable demand made
upon its services. The weeding-out
process will require time, good judg-
n.ent and full understanding of the
situation. 1t is such move in the
right direction as would be expected
from a man like President Cleveland,
and the saving of millions will be the
result The treasury of the United
States has too long been drawn upon
by politicians to pay their supporters,
and summary dismissal of the sur
plus benefciaries cannot be too
promptly or too summary made.
The policy affecting this matter,
outlined by the present administration,
is one that should be emulated in this
and every other city The people are
robbed that the professional politicians
may carry out their selfish purposes
Ward heelers are paid the price OF
services that they do not perform, and
which they could not perform if the
responsibility of so doing rested with
them. They are not needed, not
wanted and should be dispensed with.
