J1BH LIFE SAVED.
Mrs. Mnybrlck will not dlo by the
gallows. The British homo secretary ,
an able lawyer , nftor n most careful
study of the ovldonco in the case , found
reasons to justify n commutation of sen
tence to nonal servitude for life. The
unfortunate woman has boon prostrated
since her conviction and nontonco to
death. The action ofiho homo secre
tary may have an effect upon her moro
salutary than all the skill of the doctors.
In being rescued from the valley of
the shadow of death , and given hope of
further clemency In the course of tlmo ,
there may come a reaction that will re
store her to complete health.
Knglish jdstlco will gain in the re-
spcct of the world by the action of the
homo socrotary. The trial of Mrs. May-
brick was in some respects so extraordi
nary as to challenge ) criticism from the
most intelligent and conservative Eng
lishmen , while in this country there
has been nothing but condemna
tion of it. The remarkable charge
of the judge seemed plainly
to show that the court was strongly
prejudiced against the prisoner. It
was in effect nu order to the jury to
convict. Another extraordinary fact
was the freedom allowed the jury , in
reading the newspaper reports and
opinions and discussing the case with
individuals. So far as the jury was
concerned the trial was little bettor
than a farce. Nowhere in this country
would a jury having Iho life of an ac
cused person in its power bo al
lowed to do what was permit
ted to this English jury , and
it was probably without precedent
in England. It ia presumed these ex
traordinary features of the trial had a
material influence in determining the
action of the homo secretary. They
were certainly most potent In inducing
the tons of thousands of signatures to
.tho petitions asking a commutation of
sentence.
No criminal case has ever excited amore
moro general interest throughout Eng
land tluiti this , and had the death sen
tence boon carried out the popu
lar denunciation of the govern
ment would have boon greater
than has been known in many
years. It is not questionable that the
government would have lost thousands
of friends , while the course taken will
doubtless gain it friends. At any rate
it will not nave weakened itself in the
popular rognrd. The homo secretary ,
also , has improved his claim to public
respect and confidence. Ho gave to this
case careful , thorough and conscien
tious study , nnd there is every reason to
believe that his action was prompted
neither by the public demand nor by
sentiment , but by a full conviction that
justice required it.
Mrs. Maybrick has friends and re
sources , and if * she recovers her health
and a way can be found to prove that
she did not poison her husband , doubtless -
loss no effort will bo spared to establish
her innocence. But as a celebrated
case that has commanded an unusual
degree of popular attention and dis
cussion , it will now speedily p is ? from
public consideration , a condition which
it may bo assumed will be especially
satisfactory to the remarkable judge
and jury \vho tried the caso.
PItOTECTlON OF FJEDEHAL JUDGES.
The question of providing special pro
tection for federal judges is naturally
suggested by the California tragedy.
A writer in the Now YorK Sun , whom
we assume from the initials to his com
munication to bo George Ticknor Cur
tis , the distinguished lawyer , discusses
this question , observing that it is very
evident that there are regions of coun
try within the United States in which
the judges of the federal courts need
special protection from violence
at the hands of persons whom
it has been their judicial duty
to punish , or to decide adversely
the litigations in which such persons
have boon engaged.
Mr. Curtis fully approves of the in
structions given by the attorney gen
eral of the United States to the marshal
of California , to protect the person of
Judge Field by a special guard. In the
absence of a statute providing for such
protection of the federal justices , ho
remarks , it is the plain duty of the de
partment of justice , when a particular
judge is known to bo in peril from a
lawless person , to detail u guard for
his protection. There could bo
no moro suitable guard than a
deputy of the marshal. California is
not , says Mr. Curvis , or was not on the
day of this occurrence , a state in which
the attorney general of the United
States could rely on the state authori
ties .to protect the parson of Judge
Field , under all the circumstances by
which he has been surrounded since ho
punished Terry for an outrageous con
tempt of court. The instructions under
which the deputy marshal acted will ,
in the opinion of Mr. Curtis , furnish no
defense for Naglo when ho is put
on trial for killing Terry , but
the event , ho thinks , ought to
furnish a reason why the people of the
United States should provide , by act of
congress , for the protection of the
presence of federal judges wherever
they aj'o.
Mr. Curtis says it is undoubtedly
within the constitutional competency of
congress to pass a law for this purpose.
The power to establish courts of the
United States , to appoint judges , and to
define their functions , clearly includes
a power to take any necessary and
proper measures to enable them
to discharge their functions in
safety. Suoh a statute , sug
gests Mr. Curtis , should make every as
sault on a federal judge , committed be
cause of anything that ho is doing or
has done in his olnoial duties , pun
ishable in the federal courts alone , and
provision should bo made in the law
for the removal into a federal court of
any indictment or other proceeding
itibiltuted iu a state court. The pun
ishment for such assaults should bo fur
heavier than in ordinary cases , and
when the case amounts to an assault
with intent to kill the punishment
should not bo less than imprison
ment for life. It li intolerable , con
cludes T lr. Curtis , that the federal
judges should not be ublu to discharge
their functions without taking their
lives in tholr hands.
It la to bo expected that BOIUO such
law a < is thus suggested will bo proposed -
posed in congress , and very likely
there would bo no serious opposition to
It. The American people have a pro
found regard for the judicial branch of
the government , and any measure nec
essary to glvo its officials complete secur
ity while in discharge of their functions
wilt bo approved. But there If ) in this
very fact of a universal doep-scntcd re
spect for the federal judiciary u source
of protection which to many will scorn
ample with such safeguards as are al
ready provided. This California inci
dent was without precedent in our his
tory. In the hundred years of the Hfo
of the supreme court of the United
States no member of it , so far as wo are
aware , was ever before threatened with
violence , and certainly none was ever
personally assaulted. In a century there
has appeared but one man with a dis
position so lawless , reckless and
vindictive as to publicly attack ajustico
of the supreme court , and unless it bo
admitted that Uio popular respect for
the federal judiciary is deteriorating a
parallel to this case may not happen in
another century. Certainly such an ad
mission can not bo made in view of the
nearly unanimous popular verdict upon
the killing of Terry. While , therefore ,
there may bo no serious objection to
special legislation for. the protection of
federal judges , it may bo doubted
whether there is any real urgency
for it.
A STKP TX TUB UlGllT VIRKVL'ION.
The cattle and hog growers of western
Iowa have every reason to bo pleased
with the announcement made that the
tolls between Council Bluffs and the
South Omaha stockyards have been ar
ranged on a bitsis of four dollars a car
load. The order takes effect at once ,
and shippers will not fail to take advan
tage of these reduced freight rates im
mediately.
It has long been a ground for com
plaint by the Iowa stockmen that
despite the fact that a profitable
market exists at Omaha they have
boon discouraged by the high railroad
rates and inconvenience ; ! by the irreg
ular service from shipping tholr stock
across the Missouri rivor. The reason
for such discrimination by the railroads
is apparent. It is to their advantage to
carry cattle and hogs to Chicago and
benoflt by the long haul.
The new order which has just gona
into olToct giving the farmers of Iowa
equal facilities to ship to that market
which offers the bust inducements has
been brought about by the force of cir
cumstances. But it is mainly duo to the
growing importance of Oniuhu as a cat
tle and pork paoking center. Within
the past few weeks the receipts
of live stock have been unusually
heavy while the prospects for an en
larged market in the future growing
out of the extension of the buof and
pork packing plantsaro most promising.
Credit , however , is duo for the speedy
realization of the long promised freight
reduction and improved transportation
facilities to the directors of the Union
Stock yards and especially to Acting
President Babcock. Thoroughly con
versant with the transportation question
in all its details , and alive to the
necessities of Omaha stock interests ,
Manager Babcock has been able to pave
the way for greater benefits. A stop
lias boon taken in the right direction.
The reduction of rates andtheimprovod
transfer facilities are but the entering
wedge to choapar and speedier connec
tions with Omaha.
SECHETAHY WJXDOM proposes to in
ject a little of civil service rules in the
method of appointing soecial agents of
the treasury. - . Hereafter candidates for
these positions will bo obliged to stand
up before a board of examiners and
testify to their fitness. The treasury
department has been handicapped for
voars by the appointment of mon in
capacitated by ago or other infirmities
from assuming the duties of special
agents. The position was one of the
soft snaps sought after by suporanuated
politicians , because there they could
draw a comfortable salary without exer
tion. It was highly necessary for the
secretary of the treasury to reform this
branch of the tiervico before it became
useless through dry rot.

blanket morterago , provided ho can negotiate -

ono hundred and twenty million dollars

additional debt is a curious piece of
financiering which needs an explana
tory key for its solution.

They Protest Atinliiit Paying Furo on
Street Hallways.
The letter carriers of the city have boon
notified by the consolidated street railway
company that after September 1 they will
have to pay tholr faro upon all horse and
cable cars the same as any ono else. They
claim that this is at variance with custom in
vogue all over the United Slates of allowing
Uncle Sam's letter carriers the privilege of
riding free on all street railway conveyances.
The letter carriers are very indignant over
the mailer as It will consume from ono quar
ter to one-third of their salaries , or will delay -
lay them in delivering their malt. It will
cost letter carriers who deliver in the
suburbs about $15 per month for car faro.
Some of them are getting only $50 per
month and have families to support. Car
riers having routed in the vicinity of Han- \
acorn park , Kountzu Place or other extreme
portions of the city will find it almost im
possible to walk from the postofllco to their
routes heavilv loaded , und yet they cannot
afford to pay car fare.
Mr. Goodrich , of the Street Car company ,
wns seen , and said that the order was made
upon a demand of thu other organizations of
the city. These men claimed that they were
us much entitled to ride tree us the mail car
riers. Mr. Goodrich said that he did not
know of any other city in the United States
whore mall carriers are allowed to ride free.
In Kansas City , ho asserts , the street c'ir
companies have u standing contract with the
government for carrying the mail carriers.
Postmaster Gallagher was also seen. Ho
considered the action of the company nn In

THE RECONCILIATION.
Two urchins strolling on the beach , Lo , while they strove , a stranger tall ,
Beside the tranquil sea , Strode quickly to the spot ,
Beheld a pearly block , and each He stooped beside the champions small ,
Cried , "That belongs to me ! " And took the prize , I wet ;
And both nt once with eager hands , Then spoke in solemn voice and slow ,
Began to scramble in the sands , " Yc both are richer than you know. "
Like alabaster pure and white , Then with a string he did divide
Upon the pebbled shore , That precious cake , and smiled ;
That treasure lay , a lovely sight , "Tis Ivory Soap , share it with pride ;
And well woith fighting o'er ; My lads , be reconciled ! "
Long struggled the contending twain Each took his hair and went his way ,
The pric so coveted to gain. Oh , licli and happy boys were they.
A WORD OF WARNING ,
There are many wlillo soaps , each represented to be "just as good ai the 'Ivory1 ' j"
they ARE NOL but like nil counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
Jio genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting It.
