New York, Jan. 27.—The Tribune prints the following from Washington: * The new Extradition treaty with Great Britain, negotiated by Secretary Blaine, and now pending in the Senate, is given liere~ with in foil, together with the letter of the Secretary of State submitting the treaty to the President, and the letter of the President transmitting the treaty to the Senate Tim treaty itself differs radically front the one negotiated by Secretary Bayard, in that it does not contemplate, in the remotest degree, the surrender of wliat are called “political criminals,” and also in that it adds a large list of crimes to the ones which, under the treaty of 1842, are declared to be “extraditable.” There was no difficulty, it is believed, in negotiating the present treaty, both countries being equally desirous to ob* tain the surrender of their embezzlers and other criminals. The letter of Mr.'Blaine explains each of the provisions of the treaty in an exhaustive manner. The provisions made are applicable to the following crimes: 1. Manslaughter. 2. Counterfeiting or altering money; uttering or bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered money. 3. Embezzlement, larceny, obtaining money by false pretenses; receiving money or other property, knowing the same to hgve been embezzled, stolen or fraudulently obtained. 4. Fraud made criminal by the laws of both countries. 5. Perjury or subornation of perjury. 6» Rape, abduction, child-stealing, Kidnaping. 7. -Burglary, house-breaking or shopbreaking. 8. Piracy. 9. Revolt, or conspiracy to revolt on the high seas; wrongfully sinking or destroying a vessel at sea or attempting to do so; assaults on board a ship on the high seas. 10. Crimes or offenses against the laws of both countries for the suppression of slavery and slave-trading. DITTMAN’S BODY.

The Decomposed Body of Banker Joseph Dlttman Found Floating, in the Schuylkill River In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Jan. 27.—The decomposed and swollen body of Banker Joseph Dittman, who has been missing since December 11 was found floating in the Schuylkill yesterday under the Pennsylvania railroad bridge which crosses the river at Filbert street. The body was at once taken on board a police tug and a search of the clothing settled the question of identity. The gold Watch and diamond ring worn by Mr. Dittman when last seen alive and a small amount of money, some papers and a card which requested in the event of accidental death that the finder of his body notify James Pitcher, secretary of the Mutual Accident Association, No. 302 Broadway, New York. The card indicated that deceased was insured for $5,000 in that association. The body was taken to an undertaker’s by direction of the family, and when an autopsy is held the funeral services will take place. Mr. Dittman, on the afternoon of December 11, started out for his daily drive in Fairmount Park, and about dusk his deserted carriage was found in the park with the reins broken and other'apparent indications of a runaway accident Marks of carriage wheels on the bank of the Schuylkill led to the belief that Mr. Dittman was thrown from his carriage into the river. There were no marks of violence on the body when found yesterday and whether Mr. Dittman’s death was due to accident or suicide will probably never be known. Gutted by Fire.

fORAKEH’S VILLAINY. Ml r»IWe»l Cou»pirary Vi hieh Stand* Alone In AwricM Dbtorf. If a common and notorious criminal is found consorting with those of his own class, no one is surprised; if, under stress of examination before a court of law, such a man admits that.be has used as tools mee-everr meaner than himself —expecting to profit by their rascality —the world says: “Why, it is only a case of Fagin and ‘The Artful Dodger — employer and employed, the one promising support, advancement and protection; the other returns.” From criminals we all expect crime, and long familiarity with its manifestations has dulled the edge of surprise. When, however; the scene shifts from Crime-to politics and we Snd a mac but yesterday a prominent candidate of one of the leading parties for the nomination to the Presidency of the United States—the crowning honorable ambition of every statesman—confessing to] haying dealt with a trickster to compass his election as.Governor of Ohio; confessing to the long scries of lies, evasions arid tergiversations which marked the earlier history of the episode of the Wood letter, it is enough to bow the head of every American with shame that such things can be, and iead him to pledge the efforts of his life to purging, not alone the party now involved, but the political system of the country of such evil.

it is scarcely worth while to go deeply into an analysis of the case, and the Free Frees will not attempt it Two witnesses—accomplices in this atrocious political fraud- combine to place Mr. Foraker before the American people, convicted as charged. These are Wood, who concocted the forgery, and Joseph | Benson Foraker. the beneficiary con- | templa ted when the crime was hatched, i Imagine a man, a leader in his State, prominent in the National councils of his party; % lawyer—one who had been a jndgo—imagine him being “deceived” by such a person as Wood. The wish of “Mr. Foraker was the devil which stood at his elbow and Inspired both thought and act. The thought in his mind may have been this: “I am Governor; I wish to be Governor again, that I may one day be President 1 feel defeat in the air. If I am defeated, my end is come. 1 will risk all on this last device.” = And so jtbe .iaafl recommended to him by an obscure political heeler was retained to produce certain evidence; and he did so. It was delivered to Mr. Foraker. The candidate did not intend it for publication—not at all; it was tooshaky for-that He intended it to be shown to this one and that one “about headquarters.” To be talked of by Democrats and Republicans; to elbow its way into the press in the form of insinuations and innuendoes—and to kill Mr. Campbell—whom Mr. Foraker in his heart knew to be innocent because it would not take form definite enough to be answered; before it was too late to counteract its influence. The testimony shows one thing with the utmost clearness. It shows that neither Halstead nor Foraker was above using a paper upon Which the name of one Democratic candidate appeared accompanied by those of Sherman, McKinley, Butterfield and other Republicans as a weapon against that Democrat, while the signatures of the Republicans were suppressed. This brands Foraker' and Halstead alike us political tricksters. The testimony shows another thing to the safcisfac tiofl (ff every thinking man—that Foraker was a party, from first to last, to the fraud which was planned to defeat Campbell ancl compass his own election. This is shewn in the stories be told at the time Of the original exposure, when he denied that he knew at a certain date that any other name than that of Campbell appeared upon the paper—a story contradicted by his own testimony upon the stand; this is shown by his easy deception by a cheap adventurer; his payment of money to that man to go upon a second mission for him, when Foraker himself so seriously suspected Wood that he was led to hire another man to watch him; it is shown by his tacit consent to the preconceived exposure and his failure to give any man whose name appeared upon the forged paper the least chance of explanation. Foraker is as dead as Rameses I,; Halstead should he also. But what of Forakerism and what of Halsteadism? Do they die with those who will give them name for all time? Let us be thankful thlat even Harrison rather than Foraker is President, and that Halstead is at home rather than at 'a foreign court-. Then let us put the : heels on the head, not the tail, of the Ohio-idea snake and bo done with it.—Detroit-Free Press.

THE BOUNTY SYSTEM, What BepntUcui Demagogy May Accomplish in Time. The hearing before the ways and means committee at Washington has accomplished one useful purpose. It brought the tariff discussion down to a rational basis so far as the farmers of the country are concerned. Mr. Alexander J. Wedderburn, representing the S’atioual Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, made the demand that, if the present high tariff is to he maintained, then Congress shall vote a bounty to farmers on all their products. He showed that the p;-e3ent tariff increases the profits of manufacturers, and that these profits come ©nt of she pockets of the farmers and working-msn of the country; that there is no way through raising the tariff by which farmers may be benefited, and that the only way to square the account is to vote money outright from the treasury to the farmers of the country. This proposition puts the protective tariff on a basis where every one can understand' it. The effect of the high tariff in most cases is precisely the same as if a bounty werB given to manufacturers directly out of the people’s money in the Federal treasury. That is its design, that is the meaning of the phrase “encouragement of home industries, “as applied to tariff, taxation. The proposition to repeal the tariff taxes on sugar and in place thereof to pay a bounty for every pound of* sugar raised in this country has already done something to make clear to the people the workings of “protection,” as now applied in this country. Mr. Wedderburn’s proposition to pay a bounty for all farm products make the matter still clearer. But after every one has a bounty how much better, off will any one Tie than he would be if there were no bounties at all? All that the Federal treasury pays over to him by way of bounty, and perhaps more, top, he must at onco pay out to seine one else fortbe bounty on hi3 produot, and the second person must in tarn pay bis bounty over to still » third. A system or * ProVsstira tfri*

system, can not be so devised a to help everyone. If that is its aim S helps no one. A bounty, or tariff s; tem, to be of help to any one must bel certain men and harm others. Thai is the operation of the present ta ff, I and every increase in its rates inert *>s the injustice of the present system If the Republican party pet mss to vote a bounty for every pound f sugar raised it must a)so vote a bo ity for every bushel of potatoes, id the bounty the potato-raiser gets v U stay in bis pocket just so long as hi cajjfc go without sugar, and no longer.
