Gov. Hogg of Texas seems to be very
amusing person. He tried while ago
TO get the governor of New York State
to extradite one of the officers of the
Standard Oil Company on the ground
that he was fugitive from. justice from
Texas, Though as matter sof fact the
officer whose extradition he sought had
never been inside the Lone Star State.
Gov. Flower refused, but Hogg. not to
be baked, appealed to the governor OF
Florida for the surrender OF another
officer who had been living in that State.
The governor honored the requisition.
but the courts have yet to be reckoned
with before Hogg gets victim. and the
courts are not likely to decide that a
man can be fugitive from justice of a
State in which he never set foot. Hogg
will get good deal of advertising out
of his performance, however, and that is
probably what he is after principally.

Ex-senator Trumbull has framed

The President is meditating retalla-
tory measures against Spain unless she
gives our products as good chance as
those of other countries. Under her
present tariff the duty ON American houf
is s4.75, while on Canadian -four 1T IS
only 81. Thus our -four is practically
excluded from the Cuban market, ana
the Canadians enjoy monopoly Oh IL.
But the reciprocity treaty with Spain was
made on the basis of the introduction OF
Cuban sugar into this country free OF
duty, and as we withdrew this concess-
ion it would seem that Spain was Justl-
fed IN withdrawing the concession whlcn
she gave us in consideration OF ii.

Here is a specimen of The kind of stuff
which the chairman Of the New :, York
Democratic State committee is firing
the hearts of the voters with:
The Republican candidate is million
aire. Everything that wealth can buy
to aid in the overthrow of Democracy is
being brought into requisition. Our
Candidate is poor. All that he has,
brains, energy, integrity and matchless
courage, has been freely given to the
great cause of Democracy in the hour of
its extremity. A month ago and no
one was bold enough to predict the
possibility of Democratic success in New
York. When all others stood aloof he
steppe fearlessly to the front; his cour-
age inspired courage, and probable rout
has been turned to possible victory.
This poor man lives in a hundred
thousand dollar house and has large in
vestments in New York city real estate.
That he has brains and energy is true.
but when it comes to stealing election
returns he has no difficulty in getting
his integrity out of the way.

Mr.. Frederick R. Condert, the whilom
New York reformer. burned his bridges
behind him the other night by appearing
at Hill meeting and making speech
in behalf of the man who year ago he
declared responsible for Maynard, and
who, he said, had used the party for his
own selfish purposes until he had
brought it to the verge of ruin. Cou-
dert's explanation of his present attitude
is that Hill's election this year is neces-
sary to save the party from extermina-
ton. Evidently he is firm believer in
the homeopathic doctrine that like
cures like. Too much Hill having
brought The party to the verge of ruin,
he is going to administer more Hill in
order to save it from complete destruc-
