WORKING PRISONERS.
The Supreme Court Makes Distinction

The Supreme Court Makes a Distinction
in Sentence.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 1Sth.-The Su-
preme Court sitting in bank, dismissed
the writ of habeas corpus yesterday, sued
out by Fie Kie and others, for release from
the custody of the Sheriff of Yuba county.
The petitioners were convicted for con-
tempt, for disobeying an Injunction against
hydraulic mining, and were fined $780, in
default of which they were ordered to be
imprisoned in the County Jail at the rate
of one day for each dollar of the fine.
They sued out writ, but they were held
by the Supreme Court to be legally held
After that, the Sheriff placed them at hard
labor, and the Supreme Court yesterday
decided, in passing upon their latest appli-
cation, that the judgment only authorized
their imprisonment as a means of collect
1.-THE tine, but not as a punishment. If
judgment at hard labor were imposed, it
would be void. The respondent contended
| that the Supervisors, who had directed all
County Jail prisoners to be worked on
county roads, could make any police regu-
lations of that character to lessen expenses.
IF the Board could add to the iudg-
ment, said the Supreme Court, "by order
ing prisoner to be worked on the streets
as means of rendering his imprisonment
less burdensome and expensive to the
! county, they might, on the same principle,
order him to be hanged, thereby relieving
the county entirely of the expense of his
keeping" The Court ordered the petition
ers released from further work, and re-
| manded them to the custody of the Sheriff.

What He Says About the Terry Case
Who Has Jurisdiction?
SAN Francisco, August 1Sth.-Hon.
Greed Raymond, on being interviewed on
the Terry tragedy, said II knew Terry
very well. In my opinion Terry has not
been himself for year past. He has been
crazy for year. 1t was not the Terry of
former days who walked into that dining
room at Lathrop among women and chill
dren, and did an act that could not but in
some way have led to bloodshed 1t is nv
belief that if he had killed anybody dur
ing thepast twelve months he would hayrs
been acquitted on account of his mental
condition. 1t was not the Terry of few
years back who caused that disgraceful
scene few months ago in the United
States Circuit Court. l witnessed that re-
variable defiance of the judiciary. / tried
to calm him in his fury. When he thrust
his hand into his bosom beneath bis vest
caueht his arm with my hands. With his
grei strer g.h he threw me off as if were a
child.
Several weeks later a friend of mine
told Terry of my experience with him.
he was surprised, hardly believing it.
With some emotion he said that he hadn't
the least recollection of my actions. II
United States Marshal Franks had not been
remarkably courageous that day Terry
would have been killed. A timid man would
have shot him. Terry met death at the
hands of Nagle and nothing can be done
to him for the shooting. Under the ate's
laws he is not guilty.. The first subdivision
OF Section 1877 says that homicide is iustifi-
able when committed to prevent murder,
or felony, or when there is an attempt to do
some one great bodily injury. This latter
ClanSn p0p9 tI1rthpr than ha L.

Homicide is not justifiable for a mere
blow-a simple assault not accompanied
with desig ign to do great injury. Each

The man that assaulted Field had pre-
vlously threatened him. Maggie was acting
under the authority of the National Gov

was his duty to protect Field against this
man, who was in fury because of some
judicial acts of Field.

Further, the killing did not take place on
State property. The Courts of the United
States have decided that the right of way of
the Southern Pacific Road IS a military
highway of the National Government. The

highway"

Brutality to DIS.

The ceaseless brutality of the Italians to
birds is incessant, writes Ouida, and is the
more striking as contrasted with the love-
illness and innocence of their victims. Il
alians everywhere prosecute birds with a
rancor which seems incredible. Their ut
ter ignorance of the agricultural utility of
many species makes them see in every
winged creature an enemy and proper
prey. Neither the song of the nightin-
gale nor the plumage of the oriole pro-
tects them from slaughter. There are fairs
at which the only articles for sale are poor
blinded cbaflinches. Therarest birds are sold
for the roasting-spit in all the markets.
The children of the aristocracy are allowed
to regard it as their choicest sport to crush
the heads Of the birds caught alive in the
decoy nets, and are not ashamed to go out
with a cage of blinded fncnes to entrap
starlings, blackcaps, larks, pee-wits and
all the numerous feathered tribes which
flock to Italy to meet sad and unmerited
fate.

UNBIASED JUDGMENT.
An Editor Passes ConscientiousIy on His
Own Work.

Own Work.
From the Boston Transcript
Speaking of editors, the case of the ed
itor who wants TO contribute an article
to some other periodical than his own-a
magazine, for instances a curious one.
For the time being he puts himself in the
place of a contributor, and feels the panqs
of timid author. The Listener one knew
a newspaper editor who was inspired TO
write an article of light and entertaining
character, suitable for a magazine. He
wrote 1t IN his odd moments, and then set
to speculatlng as to whether it had any
particular value. 1t seemed to him that
1t had, but the reflection that he might be
prejudiced in its favor troubled him. He
had had precisely the same feeling when
somebody had brought him an article that
he wanted to judge favorably. How was
he to get his own impartial Judgment on
his own article? He thought abont il
some time, and finally decided that the
only way to get the necessary conditions
was to send himself the article through
the mail, to receive it with other contri-
buttons, and to treat it all the way through
as if il were somebody else's.
The plan worked to charm. The
SuItoI hIOte little note 10 himself TO dc-
company the article, inclosed stamps for
reply or return of the manuscript and
mailed the whole at the postoffice. To-
ward the close of the day, when the editor
was near the end of a lot of weariscme
communications, and had got himself into
the declining mood that comes with ia
tigue, his article arrived. After he had
allowed it to be around awhile, he broke
the seal and read it. Then he took little
slip, wrote on it refectively, inclosed it
with the manuscript in big envelope,
stuck on the stamp, sealed the envelope
and put it into the compartment marked
"postoffice" in the tin box that hung by
the side of his desk. Next morning he
received the parcel back, and read with
breathless interest this note, which accom-
panied the manuscript:
Unavailable. Too discursive and triy-
ial in its tone. Should have been elabor-
ated with more care. Many passages not
needed in the presentation of the idea.
Contains promise, however. Author is adj
yised to try again."

STEVENS, the cyclist, has made COM
plete "bungle" of his expedition in search
of Stanley. He confesscs failure, and is
making his way home The most he did
was to attach himself to the caravan of
DR.. Abbott, who was sent out by the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington to study
the botany and make collections of the
flora of and the entomology of interior
Africa. Stevens stuck to DIR. Brown like a
leech, and never made SO much as day of
exploration on his own account He has
done about as much, indeed, as any one of
the dusky water-carriers of DR.. Browns
expedition might have done towards dis
covering the whereabouts of Stanley. As
a bit OF newspaper enterprise, the New
Yord World must feel that its discovery
scheme has resulted humiliatingly. Stevens
tagged on to the Brown caravan until it
penetrated the M'sai country, when it
turned back, having accomplished all the
doctor desired, and the courageous cyclist
turned back also, with his wheel safely
stored on cancels hump. Perhaps it
was best, for it may be assumed that if the
man had gone up into the lake region
with his half-dozen attendants, where
Stanley has for eight years been endeavor-
ing to gain foothold, we should never
more have heard of Stevens.

UPoN what basis do the directors to the
action of the Federal Courts issuing writ
of habeas corpus in the Nagle case rest
their contention; that as fair trial and as
complete vindication of justice cannnot
be had in United States Court as in a
State tribunal? As matter of fact there
is called to The bench of the United States
Courts, rs rule, a higher order of talent
than to the State benches; nor are the de-
lays and the technicalities of procedure in
the Federal Courts so numerous or vexa-
tons as in the State Cour;s-to the dis
credit of our State system be it said, but
the fact we have stated remains undenia-
bic.
