A Party of vigilantes Fooled.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., May "A we'll.
organized gang of vigilantes had an
ranged to attack the Jail between two
and four O'Clock this morning and lynch
the Shellenbergers. The sheriff, how.
ever, having been informed of the plot,
has removed the prisoners to the peni-
Tertiary at Lincoln. 1t is now thought
that Allen Shellenberger was concerned
in the murder of Thomas Leonard, who
was mysteriously killed here two years
ago, and in still another murder and 9TH

by the murdered man Leonard has been

A Scene of Pomp and Splendor.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Indian and Colonial
exhibition was opened at South Kensing-
ton to-day by Her Majesty the Queen,
with all the pomp and splendor that char
acterizes the Queens appearance in pub
lie. The weather is brilliant. The Queen
drove in state from Buckingham Palace
to the exhibition grounds, and all along
the route she was enthusiastically and re-
peatedly cheered. The exposition build
ing was crowded at an early hour by
members of the nobility, gentry and elite
of London society. All foreign princes
and diplomats were also present, while
hundreds of army officers in the gay and
attractive uniforms of their respective
regiments added variety and beauty to
the scene.

Senator Frye,s $500, 600 Amendment.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The prevailing
sentiment among Senators appears to be
that the amendment of Mr.. Frye to the
Post-office Appropriation bill, appropriate
ing $500, 900 for the carrying of mail in
American vessels to South and Central
American ports, Australia and Japan, will
be carried by majority OF about
ten or twelve. 1t will not be
a strictly party vote, by any means, as
there are several Republicans who will
vote against it and several Democrats
who will favor it. Mr.. Plumb, who is in
charge of the bill, is very confident OF the
adoption of the amendment. AS soon as
the question is settled heintends to leave
the city for a few DAYS

HoRNELLsvILLE, N. Y, May "A
prominent young man of Almond, this
county, was married last week. In the
evening number of mischievous youths
of the village assembled to give the bridal
pair an old-fashioned "sksmmelton.
They went to the house with horns and
tin pans, and the bridegroom invited them
in and treated them to the wedding feast.
Afterward many of them were taken very
ill, and there was great indignation when
it was found that the host had treated
them with croton oil mixed with whisky,

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
YOUR FATHER.


My boy, be kind to father,
For he's been kind TO you:
He's sought to lead You safely
Your life's brief pathway through;
He's cared for you and loved you,
He's tried to save you pain,
And given kindly counsel
hope not all in vain.
He wants to sec you happy;
He wants you to be true;
His hope and pride is centered,
Believe it, boy, in you.
How much Of joy and comfort
Is in your power to give
This faithful, loving father,
If rightfully you live.
Be manly, true and honest
In every thing that's done.
And show him that his counsel
Is treasured by his son;
Be kind when old age sprinkles
Its snOw-f1akeS in his hair,
And make his last days happy
With loving word and care.

THE ExrRApTT1oN TREATY.

The exemption from the operation of the new
eXtradition treaty of crimes of political cha
racter' is causing some complaint in England
on the ground that II is sure in practice TO re
dOund 10 the benefit of dynamiterS Any dyn-
amlter who blows up building or bridge.
and causes loss of life in the process, might on
making his escape to the United States and be
ing asked for by the British Government plead
with perfect truth, the London Standard points
out, that his crime was ''Of political charac-
ter'-that is, that his design in committing it
was 10 compel a government to do or not to do
certain thing.
There is not force in the suggestion.
Political eriminality is well defined. 1t
consists in no sense in wholesale assassina-
ton, in endangering the lives of innocent
women and children, in killing human be-
ings except according to the methods of
warfare recognized among civilized peo-
pies. Moreover, every government de-
termines for itself what constitutes po-
litical ofiense, and never is the culprit's
declaration that he did this or that for a
political end taken into any account what
ever. We are more than surprised that so
able journal as the London Standard
should fall into error bythe singular sta.e-
ment that the plea of dynamiter could
be put forth with perfect truth that his
crime was political because his act was in
tended to coeroe government. Such plea
would have excused Guiteau; it would
have exculpated J. Wilkes Booth; il
would save from punishment every COW
ardIy assassin who strikes in the back.
Even the Post of New York is inclined to
believe the position of the StandarG to be
correct, but it finds a loophole in the fact
that = dynamiter is a criminal of the ord
mary stripe, and that the government chat
is asked to surrender kim is the sole Judge
of his intent. Now we do not believe that
this government will ever hold that the
throwing of bomb into pronaiseuous as
semblage, in the hope OF killing an official
is a political crime, or anything less than
murderoHs assault, and if killing follows,
rank murder. 1t Is inconceivable that
republic will ever ceuntenance by any in
depreciation any such acts as less than
criminal. Suppose that on application

FURNISHING JURORS.

Hundreds of the thousand citizens sum-
moned as jurors in the Anarchist trials at
Chicago "lied," says the Current, in order
to escape jury duty. What does this duty
mean? Deprivation of liberty; total abb
sence from family and business; cut off
from the world and the news of the day
isolation from home duties for weeks; con-
finement in room with men possibly in
compatible in habit, temperament and
thought general physical and intellectual
Generalization parades through the
streets in charge Of keeper. Now, asks
the Current, why should these men be
locked up, watched and cut off from the
world any more than the Judge? Why,
indeed? We do not propose to undertake
to answer the Currents question. 1t is
simply unanswerable. Why, indeed,
should jurors be confined pending a trial
any more than witnesses? If there is any
force in the argument in favor of the
Court custom, it applies far more directly
to witnesses than to jurors. Yet the former
are simply INSTRUCTED" by the Court not
to discuss the case with anyone, not to talk
with anyone about their testimony, not to
debate the facts among themselves Why
should not jurors be placed under similar
instructions in capital cases and permitted
to have their liberty? And we assert
again that there is no adequate answer to
be made The custom" is relic of an
age so far behind this that it ought not be
mentioned in the same breath The real
truth is that the jurors mental and physi-
cal equilibrium will be better maintained
by liberty in the non-court hours; he will
be better qualified to listen to the wit
nesses, can better measure their statements,
better weigh and contrast conflicting testi-
mony, and in every way better contribute
to the ends of justice. Let the juror go
home at night, as does the Judge-he will
come back to the trial fresher, clearer and
in all ways better juror. The result of
the system is to attach to all jurors the
suspicion that they are corrupt and need
only the opportunity to manifest it, or that
they are mentally so weak as to be irrevo-
cably influenced by any chance word about
the issue in hand that may reach their
ears 1t is absurd. The man fit to be a
juror is fit to be trusted with his liberty in
the recesses of the trial The opposite
system simply excludes the shrewdest,
clearest-headed men from the box They
know how to avoid service and provoke
challenges of their fitness. Let us have a law
next winter abolishing the last remnant of
the absurd "court" custom, and, if it is
supported by written law, let that be re-

EYrRA-sEssIONAL NOTES.

A meeting OF the Senate Judiciary Committee
was held yesterday afternoon, but no important
action was taken on any of the bills before the
committee
Frank K. Ogden, of Oakland, and p. T. Riley,
of Grass Valley, have been appointed clerks to
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, and W
f. Bond is serving in the same capacity for The
Committee on Irrigation and Water Rights.
The Senatorial question is one of the most
prominent just now in all groups wherever as
sembled. The query, ''Nho is the Coming Man ~
is the chief conundrum of the day. 1t is gener-
orally conceded that the contest in making the
selection will be quiet one, with the tacit I'M
derstand.n g that the present election will in no
manner be a stepping stone to the full term soon
to follow. Among those very frequently men
toned for the vacancy, which the extra session
compelS . Uncle George" to step down from, is
Speaker W. IL. Parks, Henry Edgerton, J. Mem.
Shaiter. Senator Boone and A. l.. Rhodes are
also spoken Of by friends OF those gentlemen.
Among the memorials presented to the Senate
by Mr.. Cox was the following from Alameda.
which was numerously signed: I'VE, the under
signed, whose signatures appear on the Anti
Riparian petition heretofore circulated at the
instance of MessrS Haggin and Carr in view of
their action, hereby revoke our signatures
thereon, as they were obtained without full
knowledge of the use for which they were in
tended. We, as citizens, are in favor of irriga-
ton, but we renounce all connection with the
call for an extra session 1.-The Legislature the
unwarranted attack upon our Supreme Court,
and the taking of water without compensation
to the riparian owner. We believe in irrigation,
not contiscation. and urge upon our Legislators
to protect vested rights, the welfare of the peo-
Pile and the reputation of our State and not to
rush hurrfedly into the legislation proposed by
MessrS. Haggin and Carr.

IRRIGATIoN AND STATE INVESTMENT.
1t is proposed to the Parliament in Aus
tralia to appropriate means to carry out u
S190000O0 irrigation scheme to bring
5000, 600 acres, now desert, into agricult-
ural activity. This would call for an out
lay of but little OYER Sc an acre to convert
land now worth nothing into garden,
and make it reach values five OF six times
the cost of the scheme, to say nothing of
afiording large population a new field Of
occupancy Under it it is proposed that
the lands benefited shall repay the sum
advanced BY the Government, in term of
years Of discharge of the lien. As a
business investment, assuming that the
S19,0e00OO will be Sufficient to accom-
plish she end desired, why will not the
Australian Government profit by it ? The
Salt Lake Tribune, referring to the matter,
says:
Had California twenty years ago levied
special assessment TO pay the interest on 50 05o
| 900, borrowed the money and used it to estab
| lish permanent system of irrigation, and as
| fast as completed have sold the water to the
! landowners, using the money as fast as re-
! ceived to extend the system, and so worked
1 faithfully up to the present time, the Sacra-
mento and San JOAQUIN valleys would to-day
have been vast vineyards and orchards and
! their crops this year would, exclusive of wheat,
| have brought Sl0o,0o0.000, and there would have
| been plenty OF work for double the people that
| the State now has.
Whatever there may be of error in this
estimate, it is certain that the question is
daily gaining more and more of import
ance i'll the eyes of the public, and that
such speculation as to results is full Of in
terest to the people. As against it there
are, of course, not few objections, such as
the debt to be created the taxation neces-
sary to meet the interest the issue OF
localism or of unity of interest between
all the sections of the State sure to be
joined; the involvement of the matter in
politics; the enlarged opportunities to
filch from the State, etc. But it is to
be said also that these objections may be
raised to any proposition upon lines of
advancement calling for the expenditure
of State funds. There is no definite pub
lie judgment that public control and State
ownership shall be considered as identical
in this irrigation question, but it is certain
that the public judgment is opposed to
any recognition of any irrigation system
that will result in any sort of monopoliza-
ton of water by either appropriations or
riparianists.
