NEW YoRK's Investigating committee has prima facie evidence to show that violation of the law is carried on in that great city under system of trib- ute whose gains are immense. The system is conducted by the police de- partment. The money is collected by agents of the police captains How high it goes among the city officials will hardly be ascertained. Some large fortunes afford ground for suspicion that it travels upward very far; and New York isn't the only city where the same conditions exist

WHERE a man has violated the politi-

WHERE a man has violated the politi- cal or criminal law of his native coun- try-whether good, bad or indifferent und expatriated himself, becoming an American citizen, it would seem to be good policy for him to curb his long ings to see again his native land, par ticularly if an ex-subject of the czar of Russia, who neither forgets nor for gives, and will make no treaty with a foreign nation or power by which his right to punish is abridged. The case of Stanislaus Kraminski, recently sent to Siberia is one in point.
