WASHINGTON Dec. Lieut. Joseph Powell,
of the Signal Service, has been detailed to pro-
coed to Omaha to organize the meteorological
service of the Union Pacific railroad, which is TO
cooperate with the United States Signal service
Bureau. About thirty stations will be estab-
lished along the line of this railroad It is stated
that the Northern Pacific and Canada Pacific
railroad companies also contemplate the estab-
lishment OF meteorological service and the Signal
service Bureau will aid the project to the extent
of its ability. as these services are expected to
materially assist the bureau in weather prognos-
tications With these aids it is believed that
cold wave or any decided change in temperature
can readily be traced in its eastward course.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Ir McCulloch and the Anarchists Again.

1hr. McCuil0cn ana the Anarchists Again.
10 the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
ITO err is human, to forgive divine"
Mr. McCulloch probably made mistake, in
announcing from the platform on Sunday morn
ing his feelings in reference to the condemned
Chicago Anarchists and his opinion Of the trial
through which the conviction was occurred. But,
in the light of Mr.. McCulloch'sr, 1rd in Indian
apolis, dom. see that we need t. lave been sur
prised at his action, and cannot ses that it calls
for the harsh criticisms that have been made.
There are plenty of people that oppose capital
punishment. under any circumstances; for. while
hanging seems too good for some men, it is a ter
rible thing to hang an innocent man, and it is
we'll known that many in the past have been thus
punished for crime of which they were not gull
ty To deal justly and love mercy goes further
with Mr.. McCulloch than whole burnt offering
and sacrifice" and to my mind Christ to him is
not so much supernatural as superior being
of our own race; helper more than healer.
The beDevolence, the kindness of heart the sym
pathetic feeling as manifested and taught by our
Savior come to Mr. McCulloch as something
more tangible than those mysteries of a two-fold
nature and supernatural powers about which
theologians wrangle. Such, think, is fair in
ference, judging from the work he has done, and
IS doing in Indianapolis; and no one can say that
his work here has been anything but honorable
and raseworthy. If all were as conscientious.
as interchangeable. as systematic as true to their
convictions of the right as they the right.
and, withal, as charitable of feeling toward
struggling humanity perhaps there would be
fewer Anarchists. Let US be charitable in his
case if he has erred in this instance
