ILLEGAL TANGLE.

When the Chicago detective, immedi-
ately after Capt. Greene and Col. Gay
nor were captured in Quebec and car
ried to Montreal said that the legal
proceedings, that would likely take
place before a decision would be
reached as to whether the fugitives
could be brought back to the United
States, might occupy six months. there
We're many probably who thought he
was giving the government a great
deal longer time than was necessary
to make out its case. But 1t begins to
look as if the case would stiH be I'M
settled at the expiration of six months
from the time of the arrest.
Practically nothing has been accom-
plished yet. And the case is getting
in a worse tangle all the time. There
are proceedings and counter proceed
ings and adjournment after adjourn
ment In our dispatches yesterday it
was stated that the counsel for the
fugitives was not ready to argue some
motion that has no connection with the
question as to whether the offense for
which they are wanted is an extra
ditable one or not. The whole fight
now is over the question as to whether
or not their arrest on warrant issued
by an extradition commissioner In
Montreal was legal, and the argument
Of a motion connected with that leg
of the case has been set for June I.
No doubt Capt. Greene and Col Gay
nor are being well cared for in the
prison in which they are confined.
though, perhaps, they are not as COM
Portable as they would be in Chateau
Frontenac. Still, in view of the I'M
certainty of the law, it is probable
that they are not complaining of the
delay in the hearing of their case. II
the Canadian Extradition Commits
sioner should be as curious about all
the phases of the Celebrated case as the
United States Commissioner in New
York was. when the case was before
that official, it may be more than six
months before the Canadian authori-
ties reach a decision in the case.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem)
says: According to Mr.. Roosevelt, all
really great work is rough in the do
ing Does the President wish us to
believe that he has never done anything
not really great?"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
''The Thompson party didn't visit Hob
son City, Ala, and hence they missed
an object lesson of more or less i'm
portance to the clear understanding of
the Southern race question. Hobson
City is composed entirely of colored
citizens and all its officials are negroes.
Such thing would be impossible north
of the line. There might be a negro
town, but there'd surely be enough
white patriots on the ground to demand
division of the Offices"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: Theodore Mommsen, the great
German historian, does not share in the
general congratulations over the estab-
lishment of the Cuban Republic by the
magnanimous action of the United
States. He thinks that the power of
this government to control the foreign
relations of Cuba will make of the
young republic another Transvaal.
That, of course. all depends on the
manner in which this power may be
exerted; and there is reason to hope
that no extreme emergency will ever
arise for its exercise

That Settled The. omcer.

Recently a Duluth minion of the
law had occasion to visit family
living in the West End. says the Du-
luth News-Tribune. He wanted to see
the man of the house, but, as he was
not in, he sat down and waited in the
kitchen. young girl, apparently
about II years of age, was busying
herself kneading bread.
The officer watched the proceeding
for some time, when he remarked
Don't you go TO school?'
mo, 1 stopped school some time
ago."
II should think that a girl your age
would want to get as much education
as possible before taking the respon-
sibility attending household duties"
Yes, maybe"
But why don't you go to school,
them"
WELL" she stammered, because
my husband thinks 1 had better stay
at home"
Then the officer looked out of the
window, and the conversation came tc
an end.

COOL MAY WEATHER.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week the weather was so
cool as to excite very general COM
ment- On Tuesday the mean tempera-
ture in this city was only 50. and on
Wednesday 20. The dispatches show
that in the highlands of New York
the thermometer fell to 80, and that
there was both ice and snow.
There have been two cool waves this
month. They were not of course Sc
we're in this part of the country but
doubtless severe enough to have a bad
effect upon crops. During the last one
there was a pretty general feeling in
New York that the fruit crop in that
state would be destroyed, but II seems
that the falling snow prevented a hard
frost.
Doubtless there is much speculation
as to whether the summer will be a
cool one. The Northern papers are
printing statements to the effect that
the unprecedentedly cool May Of 1916
was followed by summer that was bleak
and chilly. There was pretty general
failure Of crops. Corn was replanted
several times and the yield IN the fall
was hardly sufficient 10 pay for the
harvesting.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

1t seems that the Democratic Con-
! gressional Committee, at it's meeting
on Thursday night. decided to make
| trusts and the tariff the leading issues
in the congressional campaign. 1t had
! been thought by some of the party
| leaders that the Philippine question
would be given the leading place
among the issues. The minority of the
| Senate Committee on the Philippines
| has devoted a great deal of time to
bringing before the country the indig-
mites and outrages the Filipinos have
suffered from military rule. No doubt,
however, the Philippine question
in all of its phases will be discussed
| during the campaign, and the facts
brought out by the minority of the Sen
| ate Philippine Committee will be util-
lied for all they are worth.
1t is far from certain, however, that
| the masses of the people have been
stirred very deeply by the disclosures
made before that committee. The vol
! unteers of the army in the Philippines
are from about every congressional dis
trict in the country, and there is dis
position to sympathize with them in
the hardships which they have endured
rather than to censure the administra-
ton for outrages committed on the
Fillpinos
Besides, the Philippines are long
way off. Trusts and the evils which
flow from the protective principle in
the tariff are here at home, and every
voter is conscious of them in one way
or another. They can be used with
great esSect. Just now the people of the
whole country are aroused against the
beef trust. A suit has been begun
against the trust and the entire coun-
try is awaiting the outcome of it. The
high price of meat has created an ex-
ceedingly bitter feeling against trusts,
and this feeling if properly directed
will show itself in the congressional
elections.
And the coal strike calls attention
to the coal trust. The price of coal has
advanced 81 per ton since the begin
ming of the strike. The people therefore
are bearing burdens imposed by trusts,
and they are ready to support the par
ty that will pledge itself to remove
them.
II was the President of the sugar
trust who said that the tariff was the
mother of trusts. Assuming that the
statement is true. the thing that must
be done to get rid of trusts which seek
to rob the people is to repeal the pro-
tective principle of the tariff. There
can be nothing palmer than that But
the Republican party is committed to
the principle of protection in the tariff
Therefore if the people want to destroy
wicked trusts they must put the Dem
ocratic party in power. The Democrats
have no hesitation in attacking the
tariff. The Democratic Congressional
Committee has acted wisely in making
the tariff and trusts the chief issues of
the campaign.

1t appears from recent reports that
American life insurance companies
had no risks of any consequence in
Martinique. and that the fire insurance
was almost entirely in English COM
panies. The policies of fire insurance.
by the way, contained clauses provld-
ing that the insurers should be exempt
from liability in case the property in
sured were destroyed by fire arising
from earthquakes, hurricanes or vol
canic disturbances. All such policies,
it is assumed. will relieve the COM
panies from loss in consequence of the
destruction of the city. Insurance COM
panies usually may be depended upon
to take care of themselves.

weather conditions vary greatly in diff
ferent sections of the country, though,
generally, when it is cold at the North
we have cool weather in this section.
and when it is very warm there we
have a warm spell here. Last sum-
the greater part of the North. while
in this section it was exceptionally cool.
The cool weather of the past few
days does not necessarily mean a cool
summer either in the North or the

continue for a week or so the farmers
would have cause for complaint.

The Pittsburg, Dispatch says: IAN
announcement that Southern lynchings

paign evinces a wofui lack of common
sense In the first place, neither can
be Charged as a partisan offense, and
in the second, even If both could be,
two wrongs do not make a right"
That is the correct view to take of the
matter, yet there are Republicans in
Washington who insist upon holding
an investigation of lynchings, with the
idea in view of making campaign ma
terial against the Democratic party.
The truth is that lynchings occur in all
parts of the country and that lynch
ers neither know nor care anything
about party lines.

CROKER WILL NOT RETURN.

1t seems to be the opinion of we'll
informed politicians in New York City
that Mr.. Croker will never be boss of
Tammany again, and that he will not
attempt to exercise bosss authority.
The opinion is being expressed by
some of the opponents of Tammany
that he will be back in New York
early next fall, and that Tammany
viii be again under his sway. The
better opinion, however, is that he
has gone to England to stay.
This opinion is based upon the as
sertion that he has lost control of the
powerful Irish vote. which is so i'm
portant a part of Tammany's voting
strength. To one who has not given
the matter careful thought the asser-
ton that he has lost control of the
Irish vote no doubt seems strange, but
1t is said that the hostility to him
of the Irish of New York is due to
the fact that he has taken up his res
idence in England. and seeks to live
like an English lord of the manor
The Irish have no use for man whose
sympathies are with the English and
who makes his home among them.
If Mr.. Croker intended to hold on to
his place as the real power in Tam
many he made a mistake when he
bought a home in England.

seller demurred at accepting the sill

speeches to shout directions to police
men and others. goes galloping out on
horseback whether the weather is fair
or foul, takes more interest in the story
of a dogs sagacity than in the recital
of an affair of state, and conducts HIM
