effect which had reached him while

Provisions of Treaty.
The treaty provides that there shall be
extradition for participation in embezzle-
ment or participation in fraud committed
by an agent, and 1t is difficult to under
stand how a palmer case of participation
could be set out than that charged in
the complaint. The point in the judgment
that Mr.. Justice Andrews had not rem
dered judgment on the motion to quash
the writ of habeas corpus pending before
him, and that, therefore, his opinion did
not make a case of res judicata will be
disproved, they say. by inspection of the
record, which shows Judge Andrews

plant before Judge La Fontaine was suf'
ficient on it's face and within the face
of the treaty, is shown. they claim, by
the fact that they did not move to have
the prisoners discharged on the writ OF
habeas corpus before Judge Caron. but
moved to have a day fixed for hearing
before him on the merits of the extradi-
ton case in his capacity as extraditior
commissioner. There was no point made
in the decision of Justice Caron which
was not also made before Justice An
drews, and the United States counsel say
that 1t can only be regarded as an unfor-
tunate state of affairs when two judges
in the same court and passing on the
same case cannot agree and when crime
goes unpublished.

MARK HANNA RIGHT For ONCE.

Walter Wellman, in letter from Washing
ton to the Chicago Record. Herald, quotes Sem
ator Hanna on the coal strike, in which Mark
gives evidence of having had his ear to the
ground. We quote portion of the letter:
"Senator Hanna is one of those who believe
that if the strike continues couple of months
longer, congress will take hand in the game.
During his recent visit to New York, Senator
Hanna uttered some pretty sharp words of
warning in the presence of business men who
he knew would repeat what he said to The
presidents of the coal railways
"sThese people do not know what sort OF a
volcano they are living over can tell them
something they oughs to know. Ninety per
cent of the American people sympathize with
the strikers, and are against the operators in
this fight. If the strikers need more money
than organized labor can raise to carry on the
battle, the people atlarge willing to subscribe
I know of business men who are willing to
contribute large checks rather than see the men
starved into submission. They believe it would
be disgrace to American manhood If Baer and
his associates were able to win the victory
through brute force of capital held in stubborn
hands.
"If this strike is still on when congress
meets, Baer and his friends will hear something
drop. Four.6fths of all the men elected to the
house this year will be pledged to take drastic
action against the coal monopoly. There may
be some difficulties in getting at the question,
but the way will be found. The railway presi-
dents who stand out and say they have nothing
to arbitrate and no concessions to make are do
ing more harm to the Republican party and
breeding more discomfort and socialism than
ANYTHING else that ever was known in this
country"

NO LAW TO GOVERN THE COAL TRUST.

However, Senator Mason, of Illinois, gives
President Roosevelt few pointers, and asks
him to call special session of congress to take
action in the matter.
"Uuder the special-rights clause of the con-
stitution, which provides that Congress nay
do other things for the general good ," Sen
ator Mason proposes the enactment of law

States to petition for receiver for coal compa'

upon the hearing of the petition, finds that the

Baer's Costly Cant.

From The Chicago Record Herald
In his address at the Minneapolis convention
of EMPLOYERS and employees, Professor Zeublin
spoke of the imprudence of the "blasphemous
and inefficient representative of the anthracite
trust. who proclaims himself the chosen of God. F."
It probable that not person in the audience re-
quired any explanation of this reference, tor the
divine right letter OF President Baer has provoked
wider and more general comment than any
speech that las been uttered or event that has
happened in the last six months, with the ex-
ception of the strike which gave cause for it.
Moreover, the comment has been OF such
nature as to show that Mr. Baer is rightly rated
as an inefficient representative. For his stupid
cant has made the whole country regard him
with deep disgust and greatly intensified the
hostility toward the coal trust, thus proving that
if he is a model OF fidelity in the routine OF his
office. he is absolutely unfit TO deal with larger
questions of policy. After such costly and
inexcusable blunder, Mr. Morgan should have
Withdrawn him clerkship commensurate with
the narrowness of his soul and intellect, Ill
which he could haye acted the Pharisee with
out exciting any public discussion. While he
remains the nominal head of the Reading COM
pauy. neither master nor man will hear the emo
of his blasphemous pretensons.

MitcheII's Reply to Baer.

Chicago Record Herald.
President Mitchell's latest statement is an
answer in detail to various assertions that have
been made by President Baer, which leaves the
impression that the gentleman is an expert in
the use OF half-truths One extract will give
very good illustration of his skill. 1t reads:
"Mr. Baer states that 40 per cent of the coal
produced is sold in the market below the cost of
mining, but he fails to say that the larger por-
ton of this 40 per cent is made up of grades
of coal for which the miners received no COM
pensaticn whatever. Indeed, up to a few
years ago, or before the installation of washer.
les, the miners were locked for loading this
very coal which brings small prices now in the
market; and, according to Mr.. Baer's process
of reasoning, the miners should receive less
wages tor the larger grades because they mine
the small sizes gratuitously."
The operators calculate apparently upon the
the ignorance of the public concerning the par.
ticulars of the business, but, great though that
ignorance may be, the policy has been singu.
larly unsuccessful. For Senator Hanna is not
far from the truth when he says that 100 per
cent of the American people sympathize with
the strikers" And this was inevitable because
of certain notorious facts which have preu-
diced the case of the opei ators from the begin
ming. 1t has been common knowledge for years
that the condition OF the anthracite miners was
deplorable; that their annual earnings were
hardly sufficient to support an individual de-
Gently, much less family; that they were
wretchedly housed; that they were victims Of
the company-store system; that their state was
not very different from that of a serf attached
to the soil.
1t has been known, also, that the men who
controlled the business were among the most
powerful millionaires in the country and that
they made prices to suit themselves. Hence,
the people have inferred that there was some.
thing behind Mr.. Baer's half-truths, such as
the one to which we have referred, and that he
and his associates were not in business to sell at
loss. The issue, in fact, is made up, so far
as the public is concerned, and it cannot be
changed now by condolences that conceal as
much as they reveal, and that consist principal
ly of ingenious casuistry.

AN ORPHAN TAX LAW
A $4,000 Republican Child Disowned By Its
Parents.

The opposition in the state is somewhat as.
tonished and moved to smiles over the repudia-
ton of the Republican tax law made by Chair
man Albaugh in response to the challenge made
by Secretary Curran to a joint debate with
Major A. M. Harvey. Mr.. Curran has been
trying to arrange the debate for some time, but
Senator Smith dallied for quite while with
the proposition, and finally informed Major
Harvey that he could not arrange matters so
that he could enter the debate. Thinking that
perhaps some other Republican might be in
duced to discuss the tax bill which had cost so
much money and time to the state, Mr. Curran
issued free-for-all challenge, and had it pub
lished. The answer sent by Mr.. Albaugh to
Mr.. Curran came in the form of interviews
from him published in the Topeka Herald and
Capital, and, in effect, were as follows: First,
that the tax bill was not an issue in this cam
paign; that it must not be an issue until it is
passed by Republican legislature. Second,
for the American Book Company to get into
the public eye in any such debate; and Third,
that he did not wish to furnish audiences for
Populist campaigners. Referring to Albaugh's
reply, Mr.. Curran said:
"His first proposition is peshaps the most
astonishing. Every Republican campaigner in
the state has rushed to the shelter of this tax
bill when persued by Mr.. Craddock and his
supporters
Why said they, Should the Democrats and
Populists attempt to cure these tax evils when
we have tax bill which covers all the ground
necessarily Mr.. Bailey has used this argu.
ment, and has held this tax law up as the cure
all for every evil complained of by opposition
campaigners. Mr.. Albaugh, in his state cam
paign booklet, presents this law in several
places as the Republican plan OF taxation. The
naked truth of the matter is that the Republic
can tax law is so full of infamy and glaring
faults and injustice to the people, while favor
ing the corporations, that Mr.. Albaugh has de.
cided they can't defend it, and have turned the
child out into the cold, defenceless and father
less.
ellis second proposition is also very interest
ing, It is hard to understand how MI. Albaugh
can bring the question of emplovmedt by the
American Book Company in to disqualify Sena-
tor Smith for debate on the subject of taxation.
There is but little question but that the work OF
Senator Smith for the American Book Company
has been open and above board, and why Mr.
Albaugh should have slapped the Senator in
the face in this manner is hard to discern. How
ever, there are few Republicans still left in
the state who are not employed, like Senator
Smith, by the American Book Company, who
might have defended this I'LL. And as this
seems to be requirement with Mr.. Albaugh,
1 will endeavor, later in the campaign, to fur
nish him with list of great many Republi.
cans beside Senator Smith who, instead OF
