After several postponements at the re
quest of the prisoner and his friends for the
purpose of permitting them to acquaint the
court more fully with all the facts thai
could ho produced In his favor Judge Wool
son In the federal court yesterday sentenced
Dr. J. I. Kcrron for hU violation of the
postal laws by mailing a postal card on which
ho had written an expression of his dcslro
to have John Sherman and others guilty of
"tho crime of ' 73" lynched. When called
before the bar for ncntencc Tcrron dcclarcil
that the frco silver clubs of Colorado hat !
arranged to pay his fine , and ho did not
care how much It might be. Ho has posed
as a martyr and expected to bo severely
punished. The case has attracted n greal
deal of attention all over the country , nnt !
Judge Woolson has given It the most care
ful attention. In passing sentence he re
viewed the lawnnd defined clearly what
constitutes unmallablo matter.
"Tho statute covering this case , " ho said ,
"declares that all matter , otherwise mall-
able , Is nonmailablc If , upon the envelope
or outside cover or wrapper , or on any
postal card , there Is written or printed or
delineated any epithets , terms or language
of an Indecent , lewd , lascivious , obscene
llbclous , bcurrllous , defamatory or threat
ening character , or calculated by the terms
or manner or style of display , and obviously
Intended to reflect Injuriously upon the
character or conduct of another. In this
case Dr. I-'crron has stated In open com I
that ho wrote and mailed the postal care
In question. Ho therefore Knowingly de
posited the same In the postolllcc for mail
ing. And this statute directs that one thus
knowingly depositing nonmatlnble matter ,
of the character above described , 'shall , for
each nnd cve-ry offense , be fined not more
than $5,000 or Imprisoned at hard labor not
more than five years , or both , at the dis
cretion of the court. " The court Is thus
given a wide margin of discretion , within
which to fit the sentence to the offense ,
as the same may bo moro or less aggravated
Congress , In the execution of Its duty ,
wisely enacted In this statute. The United
States has taken to Itself the monopoly ol
providing mall facilities for Its citizens. It ,
therefore , became the Imperative duty ol
the government to protect Its citizens from
fraudulent or outrageous abuse of the malls ,
livery cltben may justly demand that the
government , through congress and the federal
oral courts , should exert whatever power
and energy become necessary to secure him
from such assault and outrages through the
malls. The statute protects the privacy
and secrecy of sealed letters. They may not
bo tampered with and opened while in the
malls , although the law will sharply punish
the Bending of letters , whoso contents ,
under another section of the statute , shall ,
within that section , bo nonmallable. With
this latter provision this case docs not
deal.
ITS INTENTION TOO PLAIN.
"Turning now to the postal card In ques
tion , wo may properly Inquire as to the de
gree of aggravation In the offense to which
the defendant has pleaded guilty. First ,
looking at Its contents. It Is apparent , so
manifest as to admit of no doubt whatever ,
that the contents are nt least scurrilous and
defamatory , If not expressly llbelous , and
that by the terms used , the postal card Is
calculated nnd obviously Intended to reflect
Injuriously upon the character and conduct
of the persons referred to therein. I will
not stop to Inquire as to Its threatening
character , In Its declarations and references
to 'Judgo Lynch' and raising the price of
hemp. But the use of the term 'hell birds , '
the declaration as to bribery , and the other
contents , leave no room for question as to
what was calculated aud obviously Intended
by the writer ot them. And It Is Impossible
for the court to consider the card In any
other sense than as being. In the respects
named , and under the statute , an aggravated
offense. With the ordinary and commonly
accepted meaning of the terms used , and In
the manner they are used on this postal
card , every fair-minded and Impartial Jury
must have found a verdict ot guilty , had
the case been submitted to them. No rea
sonable man could have escaped such a con
clusion.
"Tho defendant urges. In excuse or rather
mitigation of his offense , that ho wrote the
card In a hasty and thoughtless moment.
And he apparently relies largely on the sug
gestion that In some political campaigns ,
and particularly the present , the use of the
terms used by him Is not unusual. This Is
neither the time nor the place for considera
tion of the proprieties or Improprieties of
campaign oratory or literature. But It sccmn
to mo every thoughtful citizen must deeply
regret the manifest tendency In many direc
tions to the unseemly and Immoderate use
of abusive and vituperative epithets as ap
plied to political opponents. With some men
abuse only Is argument. And consequently
the moro violent the abuse , the stronger
the argument. When such men push them
selves lo the front nnd are made or make
themselves the spokesmen for the cause
they thus represent , thoughtful citizens re
gret and all truly patriotic men nro
grieved.
DEGENERACY IN PUBLIC EXPRESSION.
"Tho tendency In many quarters to Ira-
puto to our public nie'n and especially
those entrusted with high public duties
Improper or criminal motives la greatly to
1)0 deplored. From an enemy of our system
of government such conduct might perhaps
naturally bo expected. But wo would as
naturally expect that lovers of our republic ,
believers In that system of democratic gov
ernment of which this union Is , nbovo all
other governments , the foremost representa
tive , would hcsltnto to charge , would only
under most pressing ecnso of duty charac
terize officials of our government , whether
they bo executive , legislative or judicial ,
with the epithets and terms to which I have
referred. Nomination or election to a position
of public trust ought never to bo regarded
as opening against such person the flood
gates of vituperation , abiuo and defamation.
If the day shall ever arrive when the nomi
nees or Incumbents of olllclal positions , because -
cause of such positions , are thereby made
the targets for llbelous , vituperative and
defamatory abuse , It will bo a sad day for
the safety nnd future of our republic. At
times we seem to have drawn HO danger
ously near buch a period as lo cause patriotic
citizens to reflect and tremble for the wel
fare of our nation.
"Criticism , free and fearless criticism , of
.ho policies and conduct of our public men
s wholesome. Our national life-blood Is
thereby purified. The superstructure ,
milt on tli bubatantlal foundation of the
fathers. Is thereby strengthened. But whole
some , purifying , strengthening criticism
jcars no closer resemblance to abuse , vl-
uperatlon and defamation than the nour-
shlii3 , life-giving shower bears to tbo de
structive , death-dealing cyclone.
"Tho defendant possessed the unques-
loncd right , whether on a postal card or
otherwise , so far as this statute Is con
cerned , to thus criticise , freely and fear-
cssly , the conduct , and oven the character ,
of the persons referred to therein , For
melt criticism thin statute has no penalty ,
lut when ho patsed beyond criticism and
wrote on this postal card terms ot defama-
.lon and vituperation , which were calcu-
atcd and obviously Intended to reflect In-
urloutly on the character and conduct of
those persons , bo entered upon a violation
of the statute. Ho has , under this statute ,
lleonte to criticise ; he baa no license thuo
o libel and defame. Where such vltupcra-
Ion bc'glna license ends.
HASTE IS NO EXCUSE.
"That defendant hastily , and perhaps
houghtlcssty. wrote the card In question
ts contents bear witness. Had It been
otherwise his offense must thereby have
been aggravated. But however It may miti
gate , Uefeudaut'e hauty thougUtlcssuCiS
cannot excuse the offense. Ho fihould have
known better. His Ignorance of the statute
which he urges In mitigation cannot wlpo
out the offense. Had the statute not been
enacted ho ought to have known and recog
nized that what ho wrote on this card was
unbecoming to him as an American cltl >
zen and was an outrage on his citizenship
The contents of the card , If we look nt such
contents without regard to the particular
persona referred to therein , breathe the
spirit of anarchy , of destruction to our gov
ernment. They savor of the torch nnd
the bomb. If they truly Interpret the mind
of the writer ho has yet much to learn of
the high privileges and great duties ol
American citizenship.
"But I may and should consider that de
fondant urges his Ignorance of the law. HI
violation of It was , therefore , not premedi
tated and willful. And in many Instances
tinder this statute I have found this same
absence of Intention to Molnte. In such
cases , where then ? were not present clr
cumstanccs demanding of the court differ
cut action , I have been Inclined to n leni
ent adjustment ot the penalty of the law.
If convinced that defendant's violation was
with knowledge nnd willful my duty would
compel mo to n pretty sharp sentence. 1
am pleased lo bo permitted to adopt a
milder course. And yet the sentence must
be In a sense educational , not only to the
defendant , to prevent n repetition , but to
others to deter n like violation nt their
hands. In this \lcw , nnd considering nil
the circumstances which have como to niy
knowledge. I will enter the sentence that
the defendant pay a fine of $25 nnd the
costs of prosecution and stand committed
to the Jail of Pottawattamlo county , lo n ,
until such fine and costs are paid. "
NIGHT SESSION OF THE COURT.
Judge Woolson held n night session of the
federal court last evening for the purpose
of advancing the work to enable him to
close the term today. He has encouraged
the lawyers to bo brief in their arguments
and has pushed the
business rapidly to a
close1. The case that occupied the atten
tion of the court last evening and during
the greater part ot the day yesterday Is the.
land tltlo case ot Austin against Hllcy , af
fecting what Is known as the Winchester
tract. The suit has been In , the courts and

C. M. HnrI returned from Sidney , Fremont
county , yesterday after transacting some
court business. The defalcation of Post
master Yowell and his sudden disappear
ance continue to be atopic of absorbing
Interest. Yowell Is , or wns , for the general
belief Is that he Is dead , n man ot high
standing In the community , where he had
lived for nearly a quarter of a rentury. He
Is 50 years old , and the greater part ot his
life has been spent In the southwestern part
ot the state. Ho was n man of exemplary
habits , quiet and unobtrusive in manner
with keen sclf-rcspcct and apparently a high
sense of hcnor. The shortage of $800 that
has been discovered In his accounts can
hardly be reconciled with his former blame
less life. His friends say that If his shortage -
ago had been made known to them they
would have quickly made It good. The uni
versally good opinion of the man was what
Induced Deputy Marshal Mercer to permit
him to go alone among his friends for the
purpose ot raising the money. The fact
that he never came back and never up-
pealed to them is taken to be conclusive
evidence that the burden of bis shame has
borne him down , and that he has committed
suicide. This opinion Is entertained by Prof.
H. W. Sawyer , who has known Yowell for
many years. _

The connection of the fire engine with the
hydrant Is made with marvelous celerity ,
says the New York Sun. The engineer rides
to the lire standing In the ash pan of the
engine. As the engine comes alongside the
hydrunt , ho takes a wrench from the ash
> an , jumps to the ground , and begins to
[ Hill the hydrant connections , a smaller suc
tion pipe used In first alarm fires , out of
the place IK which It Is carried. Inside the
larger suction pipe. The hydrant connec
tion Is eight feet long , and weighs sixty
pounds. It Is two and a half Inches In dia
meter Inside at the end that Is attached
to the hydrant , and four and a half Inches
nt the end fastened to the e-nglne. When
the engineer has pulled the hydrant con
nection clear of the bigger pipe , ho lays It
on the ground with the smaller end toward
the hydrant , and the bigger end toward the
engine , and jumps for the hydrant with
the wrench ,
With the wrench ho takes off the cap
from the nlpplo of the hydrant to which the
auction plpo Is to bo attached. This cap
serves simply to protect tbo thread of the
screw on the outside of the nipple from
damage. It Is attached to the hydrant by a
chain , and when the engineer has unscrew CM !
It ho lets it drop , and ho does the same
thing with the wrench. Ho simply lets go
of It and lets It fall on the pavement. Then
ho picks up the hydrant end of the con
nection and screws It on to the nipple by
hand. A wrench IB rarely needed. The
screw thread Is coarse , In perfect order ,
and the coupling turns on smoothly and
freely. There Is a rubber washer Inside
the coupling on the hydrant connection ,
held In place there by a metal flange. The
engineer screws the coupling up until the
end of the nlpplo Is seated against this
rubber washer.
Ho has bce-n standing a-straddlo of the hy
drant connection , facing the hydrant. Now
ho turns and faces the engine , shifting his
feet , but 81111 standing over the tuctlon
pipe * . With one hand ho now picks up the
big end of the euctlon pipe and with the
other whirls off the cap from the euctlon
plpo of the pump of the engine. The screw-
thread on the suction of the pump lc
coartcr yet than that on the nlpplo of the
hydraut , and on the coupling at this end
of the hydrant connection there are lugj , or
huulles , vvth | which to turn It. What with
the coarse thread of the screw and the lugs
on the coupling , the engineer connects thlt
end of the hydrant connection In A > ciy
short epacc of tlmd
Then ho tuns nguln and faces the hydrant
once more , shifting his feet , but still standIng -
Ing over the pipe , ha he docs all through
the work , from the time ho lays the hydranl
connection on the ground until he stmts
the engine. He-loses no time In moving
about. "i 'I
Now , as he faces the hydrant , ho wants
the wrench ngaltf , 'and he finds It rlghl
where ho wants ll , oft the pavement In fronl
ot the hydrant , t-hero It fell when he let
go of It. He picks It up and puts It on the
nut on top of the cover of the hydrant nm ]
unlocks the cover1 , ' the cover Is held down
by a strip of metal" on the under side , to
vvblch the nut on top Is attached , the ends
of the strip turning under the rim of the
hydrant. One slight turn , with a sweep ol
a few Inches , Is enough to unlock It ami
then the engineer lifts the cover nnd throws
It back : upon Its hinge. Just below the
cover Inside the hydrant , rising from the
valve In the pipe nix feet below. Is the 'vnlvo
stem. It has a cross arm on top which
might bo n convenient hand hold , but ns It
Is Important especially In winter , that the
valve should not leak , It Is set so tight after
using that It cnnnot bo opened by hand ,
but It can be opened easily with the wrench.
The engineer puts the wrench on one em !
of the cross nrm and turns the vnlvo stem
nnd opens the hydrant. The water comes
up nnd flows through the hvdrant connec
tion and Into the receiving side of the en
glnc > pump.
Whllo the engineer has been nt work
making the connection with the hydranl
the firemen have been stretching a line ol
hose from the engine. WJicn the engineer
has opened the valve In the hydrant ho
leaves the wrench right where It Is on the
cross arm of the valve stem that is where
ho Is likely to want to lisa It next In
shutting off the water and turns once
moro toward the engine , and now ho opens
the throttle and starts the engine and sets
tlio water flowing through the hose. While
the construction of everything brought Into
use ts such as to facilitate the work as far
as possible , yet taking Into account the
amount of work necessary to bo done , ( he
connection of the cngtno with the hydranl
ts mode In remarkably quick time.
There are two engineers attached to every
fire steamer. The work ot making a connec
tion with a hydrant , ns described above , Is
as It is tlono by ono man ; the two engineers
working together can do the work In con
siderably less than half the time It takes one
engineer to do It. For practice , engine 14 ,
In East Eighteenth street , just west ol
Broadway , Is occasionally hooked up ami
driven out to the hydrant In fiont ot Its
house. A single engineer working alone has
connected the engine with the hydrant and
started water through the hose in fifty-five
soconds. Both engineers of the company-
working together have connected the engine
with the hydrant nnd started water through
the hose on sonic occasions in twenty-five
seconds , and on other occasions in twenty-
three seconds.

The American public , let Into the pres
ence of some ot the finest natural scenery
In the world , has acted like a bull in a
chlnn-shop ; it has "gone for It , " writes
Charles Dudley Warner In Harper's Maga
zine. It has never hesitated to destroy the
beauty of a hillside , of a mountain-top , of
a mountain pond or lake , ot a lovely river
or brook , or any sort of natural beauty , by
the destruction of which a dollar could lie
made Immediately. It has even tried , and
fought hard , to vulgarize and make un
sightly the great .monumental wonders , like
Niagara , the mountain aud pond attractions
of the Adlrondacks , the White mountains ,
the Yosemlte , the Big Tiees ai.d the Yel
lowstone pork. In some of these casea the
efforts have been arrested , after consider
able devastation was wrought , but not In
all. We have recklessly spent a considera
ble portion of our capital of natural beauty.
Individuals of taste and associations of lov
ers of nature and of beauty are striving
hero and there to restore this capital , but
many great natural features of beauty can
never be regained. Meantime the public
Indifference to the value of this beauty , and
ot this opportunity for recreation and pieas-
uie , isery slowly overcome. It Is a sin
gular thing to notice In a democracy that
whenever a government reservation Is made
for the benefit of the whole people there
springs uj > a hostility to the government ,
and voters are prone to take the side of the
few"grabbers" nnd demagogues who wish
to appropriate It to their selfish purposes.
This has been the experience in the east ,
and It is even more maikcd now in the new
and aggressive population of the far west.
In fact , it Is In the far west that govern
ment Interference has now become Impera
tively necessary. If the whole future of that
vast area Is not to be sacrificed to the greed
of the moment. The government must pro.
tect the Interests ot the many , and of the
coming many , from the rapacity ot the
present few. Only n few years ago the great
middle far west was regarded as a desert ,
and the mountain ranges , the backbone of
the continent , as useless scenery. The open
ing of mines , the building of railways , which
facilitated mining and gave access to the
mountain timber , and some experiments in
irrigation , changed all that. For a time the
newly discovered wealth seemed Inexhausti
ble. But It was presently seen that mines
could be exhausted , nnd that the removal
of all the valuable timber , nt the rnte It
was going on , was only a question of a short
Lime. Attention was then moro seriously
turned to Irrigation. If water could be pro-
: urcd , all the desert places could bo made
fertile , and even if the mining industry
Tailed , the land could support a vast popu
lation. But plenty of water was essential ,
flow could It be obtained ? Only from the
mountains , and they would remain storages
of sufficient water only if they retained their
forests and their vegetation of grass and
shrubs.
The enemies to this growth wcro the lum
bermen and the sheep. It became evident | <
that If all these natural supplies of water
passed Into private hands their usefulness
as aids of Irrigation would be gone. The for
ests would disappear , the verdure would be
nibbled away and the great went and all the
Pacific slope would approach the arldness of
the moon.
The public has been slow to BCD this.
When ft reservation of the Yosemlto valley
and of the Ulg Trees was made , It was
largely due to a sentimental movement to
prcscrvo national wonders of scenery. The
encroachments of private persons have been
with dlfllculty restrained. The state of Cali
fornia seemed powerless to prelect the reser
vations , and Insensible of the peril to Its
own existence. So long as there seemed only
a sentimental reason for the reservations ,
public opinion wcs Indifferent , and private
greed was allowed to go on with the destruc
tion of the natural resources of the wealth
of the country. But now that it Is clearly
seen that not only the middle far west , but
the whole Pacific slope depends for water
upon the preservation of the mountain
ranges in a state of nature , the government
Is sustained in Its effort to secure the future
pi asperity of that vast region. It Is now-
acknowledged by the thoughtful and the In
telligent that all the coast ranges of moun
tains from the north down to San Diego
county , California , ought to bo reserved as a
part of the public , domain , nnd bo forever
becnro from private * speculation and destruc
tion. If this Is not done , California will
ese Us source of , Irrigation. And what is
.ruo of California Is tuo of vast regions of

Cattle receipts hero have been qullo lib
eral ot late , but It Is evident that not
enough are coming to suit cither the killers
or the feeders. Cudahy continues to buy
train load after train load of western and
southern cattle at Kansas City , which are
reshlppcd hero for slaughter. Yesterday ho
received a train ot sixteen cars from there
where prices arc low enough to leave the
slaughterer n good margin after paying cost
ot buying and freight charges.
Good killing cattle are scarce , and feeder
buyers cannot get enough to suit them
The abundance and cheapness ot cattle nl
Kansas City are proving Irreslstablo at
tractions for South Omaha speculators. One
firm at the yards brought to this market n
train of twenty-one cars of feeders jester-
day and disposed of them quickly nt a gooi
profit. These cattle originated In territory
from which they might Just as well have
come to South Omaha direct They came
from Utah , Nevada , Wyoming and Nebraska
Under these circumstances It la dlfllcult lo
bee where the western shipper can figure
It to his advantage to go to Kansas Cltj
when South Omaha packers and feeders cat
buy cattle there , reshlp them here , stand
Ing the local freight charges and shrinkage
and dispose of them on this market at a
profit.

Monrealc , by many deemed "the noblest
church In the world , " together with the
vast licncdlctlno abbey and cloister "a
monastic Alhambra" ( now , alas ! falling to
ruin ) was created a cathedral In 11S2 by
I'opo Lucius HI , who , looking on the work ,
exclaimed : "Tho llTCe of this church hath
not been constructed by any king , even
trom ancient times ; nnd It must compel all
men to admiration. "
If , externally , In the first -view of Mon-
realo disappointment awaits ono , that may
be because on the way there one's eyes have
grown too accustomed to beauty. For that
same morning one may have seen the sun
rise from the Ivied chapel behind Santa
Maria do Gcbu ; looked thence down upon
the mountain-girdled plain and white-domed
City of Palermo , curving round the azuio
bay. Or , climbing Monte Pelcgrlno , flanked
by Its sheer precipices 1,000 feet , you may
have heard the noon Angelus bell float sky
ward from all Palermo's towers. Then , as
the sunbeams begin to slant , the rldo up
the blossom-starred boughs of almond and
orange trees , past the old convent of San
Martlno gray hermit , cowled In pines up
and up to Monrealc.
If tho'domo appears small and the towers
plain , the eastern portal compensates for
all. Great richness Is produced by _ tno mode
of Its ornamentation ; the Interlaced arches ,
upheld by slender pillars , being ( formed of
alternate blocks of black and whlto marble ,
the panels diversified with multi-colored
mosaics. The three beautiful doors are of
bronze elaborately adorned with scriptural
designs and arabesques , the largest ono
executed by the architect of Pisa's leaning
tower.
Within , the blending of different styles
Is remarkable. In form , according to the
founder's wlsn , n Latin cross ; Its colums
are borrowed from the Roman temples ,
their capitals Greek ; the Byzantine mo
saics. In which Monrealo Is the richest of
all mediaeval church , wrought upon a
cold ground , time has mellowed Into a de
licious purple haze of glory. The nave Is
Steaming : Hot
and made to suit , tlicro
Is no remedy for weak
ness and temporary
down-licnrteJness , so
quick and 5ure as a
