1t is only a few years ago that a
rascal could run away from a decent
country and go to some city of refuge
where there was no treaty OF extradi-
tion which would bring him back.
Forty years ago he could go to Spain,
Turkey, Algiers, Japan, Holland,
Chile, Ecuador, the Philippines, Cuba
and all of Central America. except
British Honduras, and find these re-
sorts open even to murderers, while
the simpler embezzlers would have a
larger choice. Only few years ago
every runaway bank cashier made a
bee-line for Canada. The circle has
been steadily contracting, and the
different countries have entered into
mutual treaties so that the criminal
has very narrow choice. Even Can
ada at last passed law against bring
ing stolen property into the Dominion,
which practically excluded the fleeing
banker. Japan is one OF the last of
the Powers to adopt treaty of extra
dition. The last stronghold of the
fugitive was Spanish Honduras, but
two years ago treaty was approved
containing the usual extradition pro-
visions, SO that now there is no place
on the face of the earth where a war
rant cannot pursue murderer Or an
embezzler.

anti-imperialistic:and anti-militaryism
cry, aud consequently the Democrats
have been at loss as to what course
to pursue for the remainder of the
campaign in view of the fact that
their two pet theories have been vir-
tually killed of, and an attempt made
to sidetrack the silver issue. To cap
the climax Senator Tilman of South
Carolina, who devoted nearly all OF
his time during the last session OF
Congress to haranguing about a Sc
cret alliance with England, has an
nounced himself in favor of an alli-
ance between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan for the purpose of
sending troops to China to act in con-
cert and straixhten out matters in
that country. This announcement
caused q shock in the Democratic
ranks, and efforts are being made to
have the fiery South Carolinian disa-
VOW the remarks credited to him.
The thirty largest cities in the
United States have now been counted
by the Census Office, showing total
population of over 100000 an in
crease of some so per cent since 1880.
If the rest of the country has increas-
ed at this rate. the total population
will be over 8O,O00,000. 1t is pro-
bable, however, that it has not done
so. despite the effects Of trolley extern
sion IN building up the rural districts
at the expense Of the cities. When
Congress takes up the question of re-
spportionment of Representatives un-
der this census, it will be brought face
to face with the problem of increasing
the number of Representatives or of
the ratio of Representatives. AL.
ready tho House has 357 members,
aud is very unweildy body. The
basis Of representation is, at present
one member to every $4,000 con-
stituents. Should this ratio be main.
tanned there may be added to the
membership of the next House about
Sc members, making the total men,
bership 413. Aside from the diff
Guilty of doing business in body
Of such proportions, there would be
difficulty in seating Sc additional
members in the present chamber.
There is room for q handful more
than now sit in the chamber, but it
will be impossible to add so seats
with desks, without taking up all the
space and leaving no room for pas
sage behind the railing. IT the basis
of representation is raised, it will
mean that some states will lose repre-
seutatives, thing which has hereto
fore been avoided as far as possible.
A solution may be found by keeping
the present basis and reducing the
representation of those Southern
States which have disfranchised the
negroes. The ceneus returns will
show the number of male Inhabitants
of a voting age, and comparison with
the election returns will form the
basis for an estimate of the number:'of
voters disfranchised. This is the
first time that it has been possible to
ascertain this.
