While partridge shooting at BuXted
a sportsman suddenly had hundreds OF
wasps settle upon him They crawled
upon his hands and face, but he kept
his nerve and did not interfere with
them. The wasps scared the gentle
mans friends and they got some dis
lance away, being afraid to go near
him. After about ten minutes the
wasps flew off in a body without hav-
ing stung him.

Recalls Wounded Knee Massacre.

TINS first expedition sent against the
ties was very much like the one that
caused the Wounded Knee massacre
several years ago. After sending for
the armed force, Captain Downs has
tened to head it off not allow the
men to enter the Ute camp. AS the ac-
cidental discharge of a gun by a civil
iai, caused the Wounded Knee mas
sacre. so 1t was feared that a similar
result would come from the bringing
in of the excited and absolutely I'M

In the sullen condition the Utes have
been for some days. one shot from IL

Indians. by force of numbers as we'll as
by training and natural cunning. would

WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE.

Governor Hughes's emergency message calls
attention TO certain subjects on which legislation
is Of "great public importance" Measures for
carrying out the Governors views have been
introduced and several OF them have already
passed one body; but with the end of the ses-
sion near at hand there was a probability that
without this special reminder some at least
would fail OF passage.
Five specific subjects of legislation are urged
upon the consideration OF the'Legislature. The
Governor asks power TO investigate the state ad-
ministrative departments The Moreland bill
TO grant him this has already been passed by
the Assembly, and its passage by the Senate
was generally expected. The Governor should
have authority TO investigate the state depart
ments as the Mayor has authority to investi-
gate the municipal departments. Such investi-
cation would reveal unbusinesslike methods, if
they existed. in the management of state affairs
end serve TO hold state oflceholders up TO a
high standard of efficiency.
The direct primary nomination law desired nv
the Governor is not mandatory, but makes such
a primary optional with the parties If either
party In any county in the state wished to give
up the present convention system of nomina-
tons 1t could do 80 under the law recommended
by the Governor. It permits an experiment
with the direct primary system, and that Is all
that is at present desirable, for direct nomina-
tons ere Still IN the experimental stage They
have not proved the wonderful boon their ad.
Vocates expected. nor have they distinctly
failed. Certain practical details In regard TO
them have not yet been completely worked out,
and q test on limited scale in this state seems
desirable
The amendment Of the corrupt practices law
is greatly 10 be desired. The present law. per-
rnitting the expenditure of campaign funds In
amounts under $500 without an itenized ac-
counting, permits corrupt use of money. The
limit fixed is SO high as to furnish means
of easily evading the purpose of the law while
observing its letter. The recent decision of the
Supreme Court that the existing law IS In
some respects unconstitutional makes the

NOMENCLATURE IN ExTRADITy0y

The most Interesting feature of the decision
of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in
the long notorious Gaynor-Greene case is the
point concerning criminal nomenclature in ex-
tradition proceedings, which is not entirely
novel, Dut which is now stated somewhat more
directly than ever before. It was expectAd that
| the court would confirm the sentence and M
hold the validity and regularity of the eYtradi-
ton procedure, and In doing so it meets with
general commendatiOn. The court also follows
sound precedent In recognizing that extradited
persons must be tried only for the offences for
which they were eXtrGdited That is q principle
which has recently been insisted upon In some
other cases. But, adds the court "It does NOT
IoIloW that the crime must have the same
name in both countries" That is to saw q per-
son may be extradted for a crime called by one
name and be tried for a crime called by another
name. provided the crime is the same in both
cases.
On the face of 1t that decision is unexception-
hDie Inc crime is the thing for which the
man ls extradlted and tried, and not the mere

THE CRATER GRATED.

There are two morals to the tale about the
grating refuse collectors. The Janitors' So
ciety having disclosed the fact that the cartmen
employed by the city eXtort fees from East Side
janitors for the emptylng Of ash and refuse
cans, the attention of the public Is meekly
called to the inevitable merry-go-roundness OF
the graft system. In both public graft tech
nicaly known as bribery, and private graft,
lenently known as tipping. this merry-go-round-
ness is equally visible. Once start the graft
at any point in the social system, and by laws
natural and supernatural it tends to spread
throughout the system, not even heStating at
class lines. The janltor, in the present case,
begins the graft Sometimes because his land
lord, bigger CRATER makes him hunt tips for
a living, but more often because he finds his
tenants "easy marks" the janltor eXacts
fee for saying good morning and an annuity
for repairing the dumbWaiter. AS his horizon
broadens. so does his grin; he sees new fields
to conquer in the milkmen, grocers butchers
and laundrymen, for whom he acts as agent
and spy BY this time, however his dazzling
career has aroused envy and started the end
less chain of graft Those whom he plumbers
depredate the community in turn. so that the
janitor himself finally gets caught in the cogs
of his own remOrseless pOcket-picking machine.
In all this warfare for small change the bur-
den of it falls on those who are neither rich
enough to ignore the cost nor thieyish enough to
play the game. The middle class receives the
hardest knocks from the system, no doubt; but
the bribe takers themselves suffer indirectly,
as the East Side janitors discovering to their
sorrow. For the vast majority of persons In
vOved the tipping game is a losing one, but Its
bad effects indirect and remote that few
of its victims will ever believe a dollar earned
to be worth two dollars in tips. The janitors
will not cease taking tips even after having
learned how hard it often is TO give them. The
Golden Rule does not apply TO small silver.
The other moral is given in the words of Com
missioner Craven, who, upon learning of the
rascality of his employees, said: The citizens
themselves make conditions worse by bribinC
"our men and helping TO make them grafterS.
"Thes" jantors are usually crying about graft,
but they don't tell ne anything about II. Not
"a report of any kind has reached me from
their side"
This tlabby acquieScence in easily remedabe
corruption and the encouragement IT gives 10
big and little grafters is a story so often re-
counted somewhat tartly to invertebrate com
plainants against the government that, In spite
of its unalloyed truth we refuse to publish 1t
again just now.
New-York tribune., 1907-06-05

month If there is an excessive. issue of bank
notes and redemption is proceeding rapidly, the
excess retires from circulation automatically.
If there is an excessive issue where redemption
requires two years, there is such possibility OF
imitation as the bank circular points out
Apparently the banks are responsible for
some of the slowness in redemption here. 1t Is
not ali due to the inadequate and expensive sys-
TEN. The National City Bank circular says:
A factor making for small redemptions is the
growing tendency on the part of national banks
in counting their reserves TO neglect to dis
criminate between national bank notes and other
forms of money. There is little room to doubt
that the amount of bank circulation held in bank
vaults and improperly counted as legal money
has greatly increased in the last few years.
This tendency to count lawful money bank
notes in reserve removes almost the only motive
for forcing notes back for redemption.
Bankers examined before the Congress com
mittee last winter in regard to currency reform
acknowledged this habit of including notes In
their reserve. The practice is against the fed
eraI banking law, and, now that there should be
every encouragement to the redemption Of
notes, It is a risky one
