, made three or four treaties with second-class powers, in which it surren- dered this power. But America has the unenviable dis- tinction of being the first free people to do this, first with Belgium and Luxembourg in 1882 and 1883, and now with the Czar of all the Russias. England has never done it, and I venture to say never will. When Switzerland was asked by President Thiers in 1871 for the surrender of persons charged with murder, arson, and robbery in Paris during the Commune, it replied... that the right of asylum would not be refused to mere political offenders, and that each case would be acted on as it arose, persons demanded being held in custody a reasonable time, till it could be determined whether they were to be classed as ordinary criminals or as merely political offenders.^ This is the whole principle for which I now contend, and while there may be no practical danger in disregarding it with a constitutional government like Belgium, there is grave danger in disregarding it and tying our hands in dealing with a despotism like Russia.
