THE SAME OLD "SHIFTY. "

i &c highly amusing 10 see David &. Hill
again taking up a position as a leader of true,
conservative Jeffersonlan Democracy. He does
if with a supreme impudence and cynicism
which have a charm of their own. At Olcott
Beach. which is sometimes spoken of as the
Hill Chautauqua on Wednesday the boss OF
the New-York Democracy took occasion to lie
clare: I'VE should not forget the old doctrine
taught us by orr fathers that that govern
ment is best which governs least" Then he
proceeded to criticise Republican legislation
regulating labor and Safeguarding the rights
Of Iaborers as paternal.
Perhaps there were some people at OlcOtt
Beach whose memories were so short that this
sort of impudence was safe. Doubtless Mr.. Hill
counted on his hearers being so forgetful or so
ignorant that they would not think to meas
IRE his glib phrases by his own conduct If
they had done so they would Immediately have
been brought face to face with the Hill coal
plank Of last year. This statesman who now
talks about that government being best which
governs least less than year ago startled
the country by demanding in the name of the
great Democratic party of the Empire State
that the United States Government invade the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acquire the
anthracite coal mines and permanently operate
policy ever advocated by either of the great
parties in the United States. 1t meant that the
government, instead of combining its functions
TO keeping order and interfering as little as
possible with the business affairs of the people
was to embark in business. take the place of
private producers, regulate the price Of great
staple. furnish employment 10 thousands Of
miners and supersede the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in the rule of large part Of its
own territory. Yet this proposition ad-
vanced by politician who. after supporting
Organism till it played out had shortly be-
fore undertaken 10 pose as a friend of conserva-
tive business, an advocate OF simple Jeffersonian
government; and now that same politician has
turned another somersault and is daring TO
talk about the ''od doctrine" and complain that
the State legislature is interfering with mat
tiers 10 be regulated by private contract
That is about as cool a proceeding could
be expected of any man. but it is only what
anybody may look for from Mr.. Hill. The cleo

little thing like out Bryaning the Bryanites at

/ SENSIBLE GOSPEL.

Professor Booker T. Washington goes his way

Gently planned in Boston TO challenge his pres
tige as a negro leader, He sensibly ignores the
accusations of his critics as the clamor of men
who see only through glass darkly- who in

from the bottom. According to these critics
Professor Washington ''surrenders negro rights"
when he teaches that the colored race as
such, can enjoy no status. political social or
industrial, which it does not win by its own
sacrifice and efforts. They would count as al

LYyCBJKG AND REOUISTTION.

The lynching mania threatens new compL-
cation. The Constitution of the United States
provides that fugitives from justice shall Oh de-
mand he delivered up to the authorities of the
STATE having jurisdiction of their offences.
When however such delivery may in practice
mean, not the trial of person accused accord
jng 10 established law, but his murder by
mob. the executive Of the State in which he
takes refuge will naturally he slow to give
prisoner up 10 lynchcrs. Governor Terrell of
Georgia has just made a requisiton upon Gov
ernor Bliss Of Michigan for a negro charged
with murder. and Governor Bliss has so far
refused TO honor IT, The reason given is tech
meal but II is said that behind it is the fear of
putting the man into the hands of a mob, and
the negro is fighting the requisition that
plea.
The Constitution does not in any way qualify
It's requirement that fugitives be returned on
The demand Of The executive of the State whence
hey fed, and on that account it is said that any
inquiry Of a Governor into the conditions pre-
Willing In the requisiuOning State is improper.
ON the other hand the Constitution certainly
contemplated a sisterhood of civilized govern
ments in which justice according TO estab-
lished Anglo-Saxon law. would be regularly ad-
ministered. Washington Hamilton and AIadi-
son had no notion that some day the extra-con-
sDtutlOnai jurisdiction or Judge Lynch would
be firmly established IL some States and that
his judgments and executions would find de-
fence as part Of the divine order. So they never
thought &c specify that prisoners need be de-
livered up only when fair and orderly trials
were prospective When they spoke Of a prisoner
being delivered up 10 be removed TO the State
having jurisdiction of the crime" they meant
that he should be delivered up 10 the jurisdic-
tion OF the State-an organized body having d
prescribed sort Of government and definite rela-
lions and duties toward the other States-and
not 10 the jurisdiction of a mob. When plain
facts, which Governors well as ordinary men
may take notice Of show that a State cannot
lie trusted 10 perform lis duties toward other
States and maintain against the mob an orderly
republican government. with its criminal courts
in regular operation, without interference or
supersedure by lynchers, then ii may fairly be
held that the reciprocal obligation TO deliver up
accused persons does not bind the authorities

SE4yS IN THE SCHOOLS.

Almost innumerable are the demands upon
the municipal treasury OF this big city Among
the foremost in urgency and Importance Is the
need of furnishing a public school education
in comfortable conditions for all the eilglOie

to meet the emergency when the schools are
opened next month.
Millions of dollars have been paid out in re-
cent years for new schoolhouses, and millions
more will be expended in the next few years
But some of the contractors have been delayed
by labor troubles, and there will not be seats
enough for all the youngsters who Will mock

a sufficient number Of rooms in private build
