Buying the Presidency.

brOOklyn Gd5LSs
 The Eagle criticised the appoint ment of Cortelyou as campaign mana ger, because he had been Secretary Of Commerce. and because as such secrs- tions. Moreover, he was booked for a place in the Cabinet, which signified that he would be in position to pun ish or reward. This was the scandal ed The Eagle to declare that if money would buy it. the presidency was to be bought. And this Is what Inc Eagle to assert that in the interests of a halt should be called, If necessary from the White House itself. Cortel- you kept command. He Is now a Cab
 As to one point, The Eagle seems to have been at fault. It owes something in the nature of an apology to the Secretary of the Treasury. As a col lector of campaign funds he was not to the statement made to Hartman by the President, he had utterly failed of obtaining them" Thus did 1t come to pass that the President himself found game-to go into the business of col lecting on his own account. To Cor telyou The Eagle, therefore makes the amend honorable; He Is clearly en- was sufficiently fastidious
 Assuming the Hartman letter to tell the truth. the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the then and present President of the United states, after characterizinS as monstrous the Par ker accusations. found that a large sum Of money was needed to cary his home state In his extremity, he ap- pealed t) the head of giant corpora ton, who acquiesced conditionally- Hartman parted with s5O.O0O and col lected Sl56,000 Possibly, if not prob ably, it will soon. be known where 1t will be contended that when votes ar turned" by the use of money sub scribed with a sense of favors to come 1t is monstrous to talk of buying a presidency As a matter of fact, 1t would be nonsense to talk after any other fashion.

Person Cannot Be Imprisoned On sepa-
 rate Charge.
 Washington, April S.-That a fugi- tive from justice in the United States, who has been extradited from Canada on one charge can not be imprisoned on another charge, was decided today by the Supreme Court of the United S tes in the case of Charles c. Brown. an appraiser of merchandise at New York, who three years ago, was indlct- ed and convicted in connection with frauds discovered in connection with the importations of Japanese silks.
 The opinion of the court was deliv- cred by Justice Peckham and affirmed the decision of Judge Hough, sitting District of New York. who ordered Browne's release on a writ of habeas corpus.
 The Browne case has been consid- cred by the attorney generals ofnce as of vast importance because of the possibilities in the way of encouraging crime Browne was indicted on two counts, one charging him with conspi- racy to defraud and the other was ss- sisting in securing the importation or silks on less the legal rate Of duty.
 He was tried only on the first charge, and the trial resulted in sentence Of two years imprisonment at Sing Sing.
 
 While the case was under considera- ton in the appellate courts. Browne abscondcd to Canada and when an es- fort was made to extradite him on the conspiracy charge on w-.ich he stood convicted.
 The Canadian court denied permts- sion on the ground that the offense or conspiracy was not included in the extradition treaty between the United State and Canada An effort to secure his extradition on the charge against the revenue laws of the United states. on which Browne had been indicted was more successful and when the prisoner arrived in New York he was immediately given into the custody or Sing sing ..lcials on the conspiracy conviction.
 He thereupon sued out a writ Of habeas corpus and Judge Hough grant ed 1t nthe ground that under the Ashburton treaty, Browne could not De imprisoned on another offense than thai on which his extradition had been se- cured. The government appealed from the ruling with the result that In to- days action, 1t succeeded only in se- curing an affirmation of Judge Houghs position.

Just before leaving he expressed him
self as being decidedly well pleased

he TO be the greatest copper camp
iu the country. While I realize that is
"a pretty broad statement 20 make. yet
! believe it IS true. Bingham is
wonder and when II comes TO produc-
Ing copper cheaply it has a distinct
advantage"

New York broker who is interested
In the Bingham Standard mine. This

going to develop into % big mine and

~ would go lower and said be would
not be surprised if 10 foll TO 8 or
cents "a pound. But n that low level

Of time. That viii be a basis 20 build

copper stocks should not get frghten-
ed and sacrifice them at the present
