Judge Belcher on the Release of
PriS OnerS Under Arrest.


Pris Oners Under Arrest.
Drs. Won Werthern and Driscoll and
harry Gray were on yesterdays calendar
Tor trial before Judge Belcher or the mur-
DER OF Clara Matthews, but owing to the
sickness Of Assistant District Attorney
HInkle their cases were continued until to-
day.
After court had adjourned Attorney Nc
Pike, who is engaged to defend Won
Werthern. applied to Judge Belcher for
permission for his client to be placed in
charge of Deputy Sheriff and permitted
to transact his daily business during the
progress of the trial in place OF being con-
fined in the County Jail. Judge Belcher,
however, refused 10 entertain Mr.. Nc
Plke's proposition and iemanded Won
Werthern into custody.
Judge Bslcher said afterward that his
views on this subject were very pro.
nounced, and he wished attorneys TO un-
derstand them: Il fud no authority under
the statute" said the Judge, ITO let pris-
oner out of jail except on bail, or on a
writ of habeaS corpus, or under certif-
cate of probable cause. And if were to
make such an order it would be legally
void; and if on such void order a prisoner
were TO effect his escape the Sheriff
would be held responsible as for volun-
tary escape, while l as the Judge would
come IN tor no small amount of blame.
Il wish this to be standing order in
my court once and for all: that will not
permit prisoner to be set free from jail
except IN manner prescribed by law"

FRUIT SHIPMENTS EAST.
A New Scheme. Which Is Attracting
Much Attention.


The new system of shipping fruit and
vegetables by express which has been in
augurated by the Santa Fe route is attract
ing good deal of attention among growers
and shippers in this city. Ii is an expert
ment which promises much to the grower
if it proves successful. and, its advocates
are not backward in claiming. will be of
direct benefit to the entire State by OPEN
ing up profitable market for the class OF
shipments mentioned at time of the year
when such shipments have hitherto been
only partially successful owing to circum-
stances which 1t Is thought possible to
avoid under the new condition OF affairs.
1t is claimed by those who are most out
spoken in favor Uf the plan that the great
drawback to The shipment OF California
fruits and vegetables into the Eastern
markets is the commission man. II Is
alleged that he not only fixes the price on
the goods sent him for disposal. but bases
his estimates on the most uBmark eta BILE
portion of the shipment he Is able to finu.
Illustrations innumerabls could be
given of consignments made by California
producers to Eastern commission men. the
results Of which were not only uDsatisfac.
tory but absolutely disastrous TO the
shipper.

which be was compelled to pay S7OO out of
his own pocket to cover all expenses after
the shipment had been disposed Of An
other man was Known TO have shipped two

him $500 above what they brought in the

.Pardoning Convicts.
From N. o. PIcayune.I !

From N. o. PIcayune
The lenience of the American peo-
pie to convicts is remarkable. If
the condemned person have any sort
of attractive manners, agreeable per-
sonal appearance or pleasing social
charasterics, the public resentment
is soon appeased and his pardon is
mere matter of circumstances. 1t IS
really wise for such aperson, if guilty,
to surrender to justice, plead guilty,
accept o sentence of imprisonment
and hope for the pardon which is
sooner or later to come. Then, #
the convict be sharp enough to have
laid away enough plunder to make
him rich, when he gets out of prison
he will by no means have such bad
time. The Northern bank presidents,
whose heavy embezzlements have
ruined hundreds of their customer,
seem to have little trouble in getting
pardoned out of their States prisons,
and, being out, they hold their heads
as high as ever if they have been
smart enough to hide away money
with which to enjoy their freedom
There have been some remarkable
cases of this sort up North recently.
If punishment is intended to deter
men from criminal actions, it should
be certain, severe and without dis
elimination for or against any class
or social degree.

The Newspaper as an Educa-
tor.

The claims of the newspaper to the
right to be called a apopular educator
are now being more extensively recog-
nized than ever, befoEe. An illustra-
tion of this is found in an address by
Dr. W. T. Harris, of Concord, Mass,
before the National Teachers Conven
vention at San Francisco a few years
ago on tie educational power of news
papers. He said: ga young girl or
boy who misses reading the newspa
per misses the worlds greatest oppor-
tunity of self-instruction."
Unfortunately for scholars it has
been too much the fashion with them
to sneeratnewspapsrs. Some of them
seemsto think that nothing is valuable
that they share with the masses
They would be much nearer the truth
if they thought that nothing was
valuable that they did not share with
the people.
This idea has made gulf between
many scholars and the masses, and
has made their education curse to
them instead of. q blessing. 1t has
made them less influential instead of
more influential. A man who would
move the masses and influence them
in any way, must understand them
and feel an interest in the things that
they enjoy. A man whose tastes in
snlate him. from the masses had as
well live in q, different world from
them.
The newspaper not only makes
men acquainted with the events of
the day, but with the men of the day.
tits a messenger of information and
of civilization, and bond of union
among men that unites them in
thought and feeling as nothing else
does.
True, there is a great deal in the
papers that is useless and a great deal
that is harmful, but these things con-
stitute the exception-not the rule
and they are rapidly becoming more
and more rare.
The press is already the greatest Of
all powers. It is generally used for
good, and as time passes the good il
it is growing and the evil is. disar
pearing.

that if vote be reached the bill will pass,
although in such form that it may find
its grave in a conference committee.

creased agitation among democratic mem
bers of the house by means of private
conversation to day is the natural result

EJECT Cleveland has recently held with
Bourke Cochran and other democratic
! representatives. Mr.. Andrew, of Massa.

man act requiring the purchase of 4,5O0,.
900 ounces of silver every month, forms
the storm center of the conflict between
the free silver and the conservative demo.
Gratis, said to TIE GLOBE correspondent
to-day that he now feels assured to the
point of certainty that the committee on
rules of the house will assign day for
the consideration of his bill. This is
more than the friends of the measure
have thus far publicly claimed.
Even this concession, however, to Mr..
Cleveland's wishes by the committee On
rules is far from meaning the passage of
the Andrew bill by the house. Mr.. Bland
and the large contingent of free silver
democrats will obstinately oppose the
passage Of the Andrew bill if it is coup
led with either provision for the abso-
lutte free coinage of silver of the minting
of all bullion now in the possession of
