THE ACoUITTAL OF sPRECkELs.

4 San Francisco jury has rendered
verdict of not guilty in the case of
Adolph spreckels, who few months
ago shot and dangerously wounded
NJ. FL. de Young, publisher of the San
Francisco Chronicle. The case was
very remarkable one in many impor-
tant respects.
That Spreckels intended to kill de
Young is certain. That he had no
adequate cause for his murderous de-
sign and attempt is equally certain.
That he should have been convicted
and severely punished no dispassion-
ate person who has read the testi
mony will deny. That the precedent
established will be productive of de
plorabIe results is conclusive newt
able
How, then, says the Virginia New
Chronicle, did it happen that twelve
men-presumably intelligent, upright
citizens. sworn to uphold the law
| were brought to find verdict in de-
| fance alike Of law and common sense?
The answer is that the father Of the
accused is very rich man-worth
| several millions of dollars a man
whose income has been estimated by
good judges to be about $4,000 per
day. The son of such man enjoys
the ancient prerogative of king: he
'scan do no wrong" The money bags
of the sugar king monopolist were
/ opened wide for the defense of this
case. The ah1est lawyers that money
could employ were retained; all the
leading daily and weekly newspapers
of San Francisco were either subsi-
died or bountifully 'patronized' to
do all in their power to mould public
sentiment in favor of young Mr..
| Sugar Barrel and against the man he
tried to murder. The San francisco

MONTANA POLITICAL MATTERS

7. G. Power of Helena, one of the
prominent business men Of that -four
ishing city, is in ST. Paul. He says
the appointment of Hauser as govern
or gives general satisfaction IN Mon
tana, and the people are very much
gratifed- since a successor to Car
penter had to be appointed under the
Democratic administration-that the
President selected a resident OF the
Territory. Carpenter, he says, has
made good governor, and goes out
of office with the best wishes of all.
Mr.. Power asserts that he knows
nothing of the alleged political com
pacts and charges, and the counter
charges being INDUCED in, but he
/ doesn't believe the stories have much
foundation. They originate with poll
ticians of the sensational stripe. He
is confident that they do not emanate
from Hauser or Maginnis. In fact,
/ he doesn't think either Of these gen
tlenen made any special effort for the
governorship, and consequently they
are free from the charge of doing any
of the wire-pulling and scheming that
has been talked about. He doesn't
believe there is any Ill feeling between
the two at all. While the people are
we'll satisfied with the appointment
of Hauser, there was probably a slight
preponderanea Of sentiment in favor
Of aIasiinnis. From financial point
Of view, Maginnis needed the office
and his long, faithful and honorable
public services in behalf Of the Terri
| tory deserved recognition. But there
lis no dissatisfaction. It was the sentl
ment before the appointment was
made that either Maginnis or Hause1
would be satisfactory. Mr. Power
says that, of his own knowledge, he
knows nothing of any political com
!, binations that may have brough
about the selection of Hauser; but hi
doesn't believe that Hauser ant
Clarke. as has been alleged IN dis
patch from Butte, have entered into
] compact to capture the United State
senatorships when Montana is admit
: ted as State. In the first place
, Montana hasn't the necessary popuia
ton. and, then, again, the people don
want to be admitted. They are dolns
well enough under the present form
i Of government. Congressman Toole

received the toothsome sugar-plum.
Truly the power of the press has
been signally illustrated in this case.
Now that the great victory has been
won, let us all sit down and patiently
await the ferocious attacks of the
moral press of San Francisco upon
Governor Stoneman the next time he
pardons from the pentitentiary some
wretched yagabond who has served
but twenty-three months of the TWEEN
ty-four to which he was SEN
fenced for stealing ham.

Most of the farmers are, however:
very clever at telling the time Of day
by the sun. AS my return from Mon
tana ended my heightened journeys
IN the West, / am reminded that the
absence of giving gratuities adds
greatly to the comfort of the traveller
in America. The only person who ex-
poets anything, or would receive it if
offered, is the colored attendant in the
sleeping car who cleans your boots,
and considers anything you give him

L should say that Minnesota has
greater heat in summer and more
disagreeable, because damper cold
in winter, though the thermometer
may not fall as low as in Dakota. It
is necessary, however, to speak with
some caution about these western cll-
mates, because, as I have remarked
about Montana, the country has not
been long enough settled to give the
necessary experience. Indeed what
we are disappointed about in this eli
mate is its uncertainty. It seems to
be almost as unreliable as the English
climate and the variations of temper
ature are, Of course, far greater.
''To sum my own personal expert
ence up may say that | have not
been accustomed to outdoor work; but
that [ worked out Of doors in the Lot-
test weather all through last summer:
that I rode on wagons with q cool
breeze blowing when I was drenched
with perspiration; drank gallons of
cold water when I was very hot, and,
generally, did things that would have
killed me at home, and / have never
had cold or days illness. In win
ter I have gone from a warm kitchen
to the stable with the thermometer
below zero without a great coat.
These facts, I think, speak volumes
for the healthfulness of the climate,
which I had almost forgotten to add
is a bright and sunny one, gloomy OF
dull days being quite the exception.

A PLEA FROM RIEL.

A Quebec special says: A letter has
just been received by DR.. Fiset from
Louis Riel. After speaking of his
ready surrender, his chance to escape
if he wishes to do so, and the specific
effect his surrender had in bringing
the rebellion to a close, Riel says it
should have some weight in securing
him a hearing before the supreme
court in Lower Canada, for it is there
alone that he can procure all his wit
nesses. He says he was in the United
States, laboring to create future for
himself, when he was invited among
the half-breeds to assist them in pc
titioning the government. He worked
peacefully until the time when arms
were taken up He says, also that he
never dreamed of war, but by intrigue
and forged letters a complication OF
affairs was brought about by interest
ed parties. He desired to return to
the United States, but the people
would not listen to him. On March
Is they were proceeding to St Lau-
| rent to celebrate the feast OF st. Jo-
seph, and had to pass st. Antoine en-
route, when they learned that 500 po-
licemen were coming by forced
marches to disperse them and kill
their leaders. When the half-breeds
learned this they stopped their wag-
ons and made an arrest of an Indian
agent. They also made one or two
other arrests. Riel says he was not
present when these arrests were made,
but he was notified, and when he went
| to the place he found the people had
/ decided to take up arms in their de-
fense. In twenty -four hours the whole
population were in arms. he con-
cludes by asking not to be treated
ike murderer, and not to be chain
ed before the jury have pronounced
upon his case, and feels confident they
will not find him guilty. He says his
incarceration Is telling upon his
health, Notwithstanding the kind at
tention of his jailors.

4 COSTLY HAT.

A passenger in the Pullman coach
from the West last night when he
boarded the car on the plains brought
IN and carefully deposited in the
drawing room, on one Of the cushions,
fifty dollar Mexicaa hat, stiff with
by a he read e,ls}arz -,v ar1 ..;,..l.,1.
Adams, who, though only twenty
eight years old, is able out of the prof
its Of his New Mexico ranch to indulge
in the luxury Of a ffty-dollar hat, but
purely as a piece Of interior decora-
ton for an Eastern friends house.
Sheriff Ware, Of Mitchell county, who
with Millionaire Gregory, of Chicago,
was admiring the hat, said that Gen
erai Naides, when an exile from Mexi-
co, had with him a hat that cost six
/ hundred dollars and California sad
| die that cost two thousand three hun
dred dollars. Both were heavily en-
broidered with gold and silver lace,
and the General was very proud Of
them. Its a common thing" he ad-
| ded, 'sfor these Texans to wear hats
that cost from fifteen to twenty-five
dollars. In fact, a cowboys hat and
saddle cost more than the whole OF
the rest of his outfit The boys get
these big hats from the east, where
they are manufactured, although they
are never worn. A silk hat is as I'M
common out here as one Of these
sombreros is on Broadway.
The big hats are the best in the
world They are warm in winter and
cool in summer The Texans are very
/ particular about broad brims. They
will touch nothing with brim mar
rover than three and one-half inches
and they often want a hat that is five
and one half inches IN width of brim
The hats last four or five years, ane
some cowmen have a superstition
about them if they have good 1ucl
while they own them, and ter they
have worn them long while they
will send them off and have then
cleaned, and wear them several years
longer.
Many men have made all their for
tunes under one hat There is no
only economy and durability as rea
sons for the custom, but there is healtl
in them. Have you ever seen a bald
headed sombrero wearer? Then th,
color. too, which varies from 1igh
dun to buff, prevents reflection from
