on him by the Governor of another State
is absurd. 1t has no foundation in law,
in reason or in practice. He has large dis
erection in the matter. 1t is not alone for
the Governor making the requisition TO
represent that a person is a fugitive from
Justice; the Governor on whom the requi-
sition is made must be convinced of the
fact. To be a fugitive from justice one
must be trying 10 escape from a fair trial
before a just judge under an Indictment
regularly and fairly returned. a Governor
on whom a requisition is made must be his
own Judge whether these conditions exist
Acting on this view the governors Of diff
ferent States have at different times re-
fused 20 surrender alleged fugitives from
justice. One of the earliest cases of the
kind was in 1870. when the Governor of
Kentucky refused to surrender a man
charged with kidnapping a colOred man from
this State, on the ground that the Indiana
law which the man was charged with vio-
lating was unconstitutional. There have
been many later cases in New York, Ohio
and other States in which governors have
declined to honor acquisitions from the
governors Of other States for reasons sat
isfactory to themselves. No attempt has
ever been made to override the decision Of
The executive of a State in such a case
or to prevent him from exercising discre-
tionary power. and it would be idle to make
such an attempt. because the Constitution
and the laws clearly invest him with such
power. They never intended to require a
Governor to lend himself TO a conspiracy
for the prostitution of justice and the
wreaking of personal vengeance under the
mutilated forms of law.

THE TAYLOR ExTRADIrIox CASE.

Considerable interest attaches to Gov
ernOr Durbin's action on the requisition of
the Governor of Kentucky for the return
of Messrs. Taylor and Finley for trial in
that State on the charge of completely i'm
the murder of William GoebeI. As the
Governor has promised to read the volum-
inous record and opinions of the Kentucky
court in the Powers and Howard cases be-
fore deciding on the requisition, his de-
cision will not be known for some time
He was under 10 obligation to read the
record referred to, and his promise to do
so was a concession to the importantly of
Mr.. Arthur Goebel, brother of the late
senator. Such personal importantly and
insistence by outside parties is unusual, but
they are in keeping with other features of
this case. 1t is not only unusual but in
decent for outside and unofficial persons
To attempt to bring pressure to bear to in
fluence the official faction Of a Governor
upon a requisition from the Governor OF
another State. The Constitution and the
laws define his duties without any Iimita-
ton upon his discretionary power, and he is
presumed to know what light he should
seek or what rule of action he should
adopt without dlctation or suggestion from
unofficial ana unauthorized parties. Hav-
ing promised to read the record i'm the
Powers and Howard cases the Governor

low that his action will be Influenced by
it any more than was the judgment of all
fair-minded men outside of Kentucky re-
garding the infamy of the trial on which
the record is based. The record is incom-
plete If it does not show that, on appeal
the Judgment Of the lower court in the
Howard case was unanimously reversed
by the Kentucky Court Of Appeals. con-
sisting OF four Republican and three Dem
ocratic judges. on the ground that he did
not have a fair and impartial trial. Such
is the fact. and even without such reversal
il is notorious that the trials of Howard
and Powers were a t~ravesty on justice and
"a disgrace TO the State where they oc-
Cured. The same judge who presided al
those trials and who is now asking 10 be
elected United States senator as a reward
for his prostitution Of law and justice
would preside at the trial Of Ex-Governor
Taylor IL he were sent back. With a
packed jury and a vindictive partisan Judge
he would not have the ghost Of a chance
of a fair trial. 1t is not exaggeration tc
say that his conviction has already been
decided upon. and is contingent solely upon
his capture. Ex-Governor Taylor is not a
fugitive from justice; he is a fugitive from
Injustice.

]. c. Donaldson-Sim. a Scotch merchant
from Manila, was at the st. Charles yester-
day. He is enthusiastic about the great port
in the Philippine islands.
Hemp, sugar and dried cocOanut or cop
IA are the principal articles of export from
Manila" said Mr.. Sim. 'COpra is used for
making oil entering into the manufacture
of the finer qualities of toilet soap. Upward
of 100. 900 tons of this product are annually
exported from the Philippines. In addition,
between 250,O0 and 1900 tons Of sugar and
100000 tons of hemp are exported yearly
from these islands. These exports can
both be expanded to much greater dimen-
sions. and in the course of time Manila will
be the greatest port in the Orient. Business
is not active in the chief city of the Philip
pines now because of the unsettled condi-
ton of affairs. An orderly system is being
brought about by the United States gov
eminent, however. and there is no doubt
that the government this country Will es-

Mr.. Sim stated that ar the present time
all ships entering the harbor Of Manila
must anchor out in the middle Of the bay
and unload on lighters. which have TO be
towed in to shore.

RESORT TO CALLING NAMES.
AIonzO Green Smith Talks Chilly of
ScoundreIism-Speech by Kern.

John w. Kern and Alonzo Green Smith
spent two hours last night in explaining
to a crowd of Ninth ward voters that had
assembled in Wessling's Hall, corner State
street and Hoyt avenue, why they should
vote the Democratic ticket at the approach
ing city election.
The chief reason offered by Mr.. Smith for
such a procedure on their part was that
the Republicans were a set of scoundrels
not fit to be trusted with the administra-
ton of affairs in a great city like Indianap-
oils. This was evidently a matter Of de-
duction on his part, as he did not allege
any specific acts of rascality against those
who are seeking election on the Republican
ticket, but directed his remarks particular
ly to the last State Legislature. Every
scheme known to ScOundrelism surrounded
your Capitol last winter" said Mr.. Smith.
There was not a piece of legislation
enacted of any importance which was not
paid for beforehand by the corporations.
There was not a Republican legislator but
had his price, Mr.. Smith said he had
gone away from indianapolis last winter
SO that he would not be forced TO witness
the r~Ottenness with which the Capitol was
infested. During the course of his remarks
he referred to Governor Durbin as a man
who knew very little about anything"
but said that some things were SO odiOus
that even he had TO interpose with his
veto. The speaker devoted the larger por-
tlOn Oh MS speech 10 the things which he
had accomplished when he was in the
Legislature.
John w. Kern spent the greater part of
his time in defending the temporary loan
policy of the Taggart administration. He
praised Mayor Taggart for the exceedingly
low tax levy which he had given the city,
but at no time explained TO the satisfaction
of his hearers how the bonded indebtedness
and the temporary loan Indebtedness were
TO be paid with the same kind of a levy.
He spoke of the wonderful growth of the
city, of its miles of paved streets, it's mag
nincent sewer system and it's parks, and
m-agnanimously gave Mayo Taggart the
credit for it all. He wanted Mr.. Mcguire
elected, not for anything Mr.. Mcguire had
ever done, but because it would be an in
dorsement of the Taggart tons.
The Inference was plain that the election
of any Taggart Democrat would suit Mr..
Kern as well as the election of Mr.. Ma
guire.
Edward w. Little, Democratic candidate
for police judge, and August Tamm, can
dldate for city clerk, arrived at the meet
ing as Mr.. Kern was closing his remarks.
and in response to calls from the crowd
made short talks, in which they urged the
voters to go to the polls and cast their
votes Tor the straight Democratic ticket.
The crowd was disappointed at the nom
appearance of Mr.. Taggart and enthusiasm

POLICE DISCRIMINATION.
Reason Why the Jury Acquitted Sa-
loon Keeper John Shea.

Saloon keepers, persons having business
with Justices courts and the Police Court
and politicians were talking yesterday Of
the case against John Shea. He was ar
rested a week ago in his saloon after IL
o'clock and at headquarters charged with
a violation of the Nicholson law. He adj
mitted Upon the witness stand that he had
violated the law. and had done so many
times before, and yet a jury acquitted him
after three minutes elaboration. He openly
announced that he would vote for Book
walter and thus incurred the displeasure
of the Taggart administration and was dis
eliminated against by the police. At the
time he was arrested John Kilcy's place on
the opposite side of Pearl street was run
ming wide open and Shea called the at
tention of the officers to the fact. but hileY
was allowed to continue business at illegal
hours, while he was taken TO headquarters.
The arrest was made by PatrOlmen Gro
min and Jordan. On the witness stand Gro
min admitted that he had received orders
direct from Superintendent Quigley 10 ar
rest Shea if his place should again be
found open. CrOnin and jordan mad on the
three nights just preceding been IN the
arrest. Cronin Also stated that thirty
saloons i'm his district were open every
night in violation OF the law, but that no
arrests were made unless explicit 1nstruc-
tons were received from superior officers.
on the night the arrest of shea was or
.dered he was also told TO arrest Mike

and Jordan a Republican. The evidence OF
the officers was to the effect that Jordan
waited outside the door 10 the superintend-
ent's private office while Cronln went IN
side and received the orders. CrOnin testi-
fed that no orders concerning the saloons
of others than Shea, OBrien and Beiser
were received.
The announcement that Shea had de-
cided to stand trial was "A surprise TO the
police, for the reason that he Was clearly

MASTERY OF THE WORLD.

Noted German Traveller.

Under the title, Eastern Asia in World
History" DIR. Albrecht Wirth, a noted Ger
man traveller, has written a pamphlet which
sets forth the aims of the German empire
in a particularly frank manner.

get rid of its rivals. Those rivals are Amer
lea and England. China and Japan, he de-
clares, will be ~Germany's allies against
Russia, and Russia, he says, is bankrupt or
nearly so. France he eliminates as a pos
sible danger altogether. Austria is torn
within and Will be destroyed finally 10y its
own weakness.
1t is in China that DIR. Wirth sees the
great opportunity for Germany 10 swing
herself into the saddle. There. he saws. will
be the great place where We can crush and
destroy England" England, he says, has
made a vast biunder i'm China, being con-
tent merely 10 hold her possessions instead
OF colonlzlng- There Is where Russia has
gained a tremendous advantage. He says:
THE only power that China has 10 fear
Is Russia Russia alone of Western powers
possesses the art of assimilation. Her ten
dency is always TO become more Of an
Oriental power, to pose as successor OF
Attila's Huns and GenghiZ khan's Tartars.
She alone could keep China in subsection,
and a Russian Car ruling in Picking as
well as In st. petersburg would seem able
TO defy all enemies at home and abroad.
"And where is Germany TO come in2 The
German programme Is: First, take the side
of China against Russia. demonstrate TO
China that Germany is the most military
nation in the world, and earn her gratitude
by defending her from Russia"
Second, having won China over. the Ger
mans are to use her immense resources in
men to build an army that could defy the
world. China's capacity for fighting has in
creased wonderfully, according TO DR..
With.
In the opium war, he says, 1900 men suf-
feed 10 defeat the Chinese; in the Anglo
French expedition 1900 Europeans and 4,SO
Indian troops were employed. The Japa-
nese had TO put into the field a force OF
5000 soldiers and 10000 coolies, while in
1900 the allies needed 9 5000 men and niney-
five ships OF war. So much has the Chinese
power Of resistance grown.
Except as a possible ally Of England.
America does not strike the doctor as "A
greatly dangerous enemy. We, too, are torn
by internal dissensions. according to his
cheerful and convenient reasoning; so we
are out Of il. we must first crush Eng

declares; and then we can easily dispose

The semi-annual dividends announced by
the American Steel Corporation are equiv
alent to an annual dividend of IL per cent.
on its capital stock. AS a considerable
portion of the stock is what is called water,
the dividend is really much larger, meas
ured on the basis of real value. The stock
is said to be widely scattered, so that the
profits will go to a much larger number of
people than were the original owners of the
plants which were purchased for the COM
bination. Such profits, however, contain an
element of danger, since such large returns
will be likely to induce capitalists to go
into the business.
