DEMOCRATS, BEWARE!

That the Republican party is hard
pressed for campaign material, and with
out it, chances are decidedly against its
success in 'SS, is conceded fact by all
who follow the course of events, and give
even short time to their study. That it
is in accordance with precedent, to man
ufacture that material, where none exists,
and work it for its full value is also con-
ceded fact, but in all cases preceding the
present one, the efforts of the Republi-
can party have been turned toward the
production of some sort of plausible story,
which could be backed up at least by an
that it was truth, and sur
rounded by set of cunningly contrived
pros and cons, which always mystify the
average brain, and force the hearer to
believe the story, rather than hunt for its
confirmation. To General Henry V.
Boynton, the Washington correspondent

GERONIMO'S CASE.

Our dispatches indicate great diver.
sity OF opinion as to which is the legal
course to pursue in the trial and punish
ment of the Apaches and their lead er
Geronimo. At this distance, and in
view of the ascertained facts in the case,
it does not look clear why this should be
so, and again there are precedents for a
military trial as in the case of the Mo-
docs and Sioux. Geronimo and his
bucks were on the reservation under
military surveillance, and they treacher-
ously escaped, under cover of the kind
ness extended to them, after the first out
break, and they are now just as much
under military control and jurisdiction, as
before they broke loose, having done
nothing to release themselves from it,
but by their trip, having added doubly to
the causes for which they were originally
held. The Indian policy of the Govern
ment has always been problematical,
and never guided by fixed rules in any
two cases alike, and only as occasion
arises, can justice be administered, soley
rs the merits of each particular case shall

demand. This murderous and migrate
full rascal has placed himself and accom-
plices outside of the pale of pity and
compassion, by reason Of the brutality
and nhumanity of his crimes, and the
havoc he has wrought among settlers
in the wilderness-a class that calls
for the closest care and guardianship
of the Government-calls for his speedy
punishment, not alone as proof OF the
power of the Government in his case, but
as an example to the hordes of miscre-
ants of his blood who are even now
threatening this Territory with similar
crimes. That there should be desire to
give him the full benefit of just trial, is
natural enough, but that thousand
harpies should spring up and beat the air
with ridiculous arguments as TO how he
shall be tried, is ludicrous, and altogether
out of order AS the DEMOCRAT has said,
it is the time for the well-meaning but
always inopportune humanitarian to
mount his hobby and try to impress the
Government with the exalted idea OF
Christianizing this cruel man, and such
appeals were expected, but the plea OF
lawyers that, if legal rules are allowed to
govern the case, he cannot be tried at |
all, is humbug, and should be so treated.
Geronimo has committed many cruel
murders, and stolen thousands of dollars
worth of settlers stock and materials, and
for these crimes he is amenable to the
law. The law placed him under military
Jurisdiction when he was cornered the
asst time, and he is under that care now.
The next step, and the one for which the
country is waiting, is his speedy trial and
and that is the only inter-
of the law in his case which will
atisfy the people of the western half of
he Continent.

of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, is
due the credit for going several points
ahead of Munchasen, and leaving the or
binary, common everyday perVerter of
truth in the background. In the mala-
rial atmosphere of the Potomac Flats
alone could such gilt-edged yarn find a
birthplace:
''It can now be stated, upon authority of
an official of the Government holding high
position of a non-political character, that
the blunt and unusual course adopted Ill the
Cutting case was designed by the Admins
tration to force war; and that the objects in
view were to arouse the war spirit of the
country, and direct it to the political
strengthening of the Democratic party; and,
by the final annexation of the seven north
ern States of Mexico, and the admission of
some or all of them into the Union, to so in
crease the Democratic strength in the Elec-
toral College as to perpetuate the Demo-
cratic party in power"
How will men ofreason and sense Judge
this yarn? How can they judge it, but
as the drooling idiocy of man who is lost
to all sense of the dignity of the journal
lists profession? Boynton heretofore has
been known as thorough writer, and
his work has always challenged respect
from those who differed with him in polit-
ical faith, but then, he has always con-
fined himself to facts or reasonable con-
clusions therefrom, until his publication
of the foregoing clumsy day-dream. Sec
retary Bayard is open to censure by rea-
son of his peculiar tatics pursued in the
Cutting case-as understood by the press
at large-and he has been severely criti-
cized in consequence, but no sane man
ever thought the Secretary was totally
daft and in his dotage, until Boynton
sprung his wonderful story, and now the
iact is patent that Boynton is daft. The
Commercial Gazette has many sins on its |
'oul-if it has such thing-but this is
he silliest, wickedest of ALL In the COM

oetuation of Democratic doctrines in

Indians and that they did not intend
that we should ever see Nisqually.
Their plan was to camp at Gig har-
Dor that night and while we slept
make good Bostons of us, take what
we had and return home. But as
we were we'll armed and of course
disagreed with their cunning plan,
they made slight mistake in their
calculations. When we arrived at
the barbor, which was late in the
evening. thev made signs to us that
they were going to camp and sleep
at the place. We gave them to un-
derstand that it was all right. We
all got out of the canoe and made
camp. A fire was built and some
salmon cooked for supper. We
watched for an opportunity and
when it presented itself we took pos
session of their muskets, made them
launch the canoe and get in. Glas-
gov took a seat in the stern, guild
ing the boat. / sat Immediately in
front of him, covering the Indians
with my revolver. Then we started,
and can assure you the Indians
did not get much rest that day.
When we arrived at Balch's passage
fair wind sprang up and we made
up our minds that we had no more
use for our Indians, so we put them
ashore on the little island in the CEN
ter of the passage, leaving them to
shift for themselves. We arrived
safe at Tumwater the next day.

The Value Of Institutes.

The Thurston County Teachers
Institute will be held in Olympia at
the public school house, beginning at
"a. NJ, July 9th. Daily sessions will
continue during tho week; evening
meetings for social intercourse, pro-
fessional readings and practical dis.
cussions will be held at tho residence
Of the County superintendent.
Prominent educators, all over the
country are discussing the import.
ance of improving the condition
of tie common schools, particu-
larly in the rural districts. The
principal factor in the work of
reform and progress is the teach
er; it ia the teacher that makes
the school, and, as general rule.
careful training and preparation
make the teacher. To establish Q
school system, to create school funds,
to build school houses, and then
send children to be taught by half.
educated, unskilled, incompetent in
structors, is o kind of wasteiulness
not found in any of the material en-
terprises of life. II the teacher is Q
failure, the school must be q failure,
and its unhappy results must striks
a fatal blow at the very life and
prosperity Of society. BY special
preparation and training, the aver.
age quality of persons in any profess
sion will be vastly improved, while
those who possess talent for o Ger.
tain calling will be made capable Of
higher achievements if they have ia
cilities for cultivation suited to their
wants. Education does not con-
sist merely in imparting knowledge.
1t is rather the formation Of Charac-
ter according to higher standard Of
manhood and womanhood. This
great work must be- considered not
only as an art, but as really the
highest and most difficult of all arts,
with its conditioning principles ly-
ing down deep in the nature Of man"
These principles must be learned
and applied by the great masss Of
teachers before they become educa-
tors in the true sense of the term.
Porf. Taylor, of the normal de-
partment of Seattle University, and
Prof. Follansbee, Of Olympia, both
successful institute conductors, will
render efficient service during the
coming County and Territorial Insti.
tutes, and no teacher in Thurston
can afford to lose the golden oppor.
tunity for improvement. Teachers
from other counties are invited to be
present; those expecting to attend
the county institutes who are unpro.
vidsi for with homes, will please no.

North and South Churches.

At the general conference of the
Methodist Epis copal church, South
which met in Richmond, Virginia,
a resolution was introduced calling
for the appointment of a committee
to meet and confer with similar
committee to be appointed by a gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church for the purpose of
bringing about union of the bodies,
if possible.
1t is indeed strange that these two
Methodist churches are not united.
They were separated by tho slavery
agitation long before the war. But
slavery has been so long a thing OF
the past that it is beginning to be
forgotten. There is no longer any
dispute between the two branches of
Methodism over the slavery question,
and upon all other questions they
were mover disagreed. They have
the same work to do and they preach
the same doctrines. They are both
wealthy and both have large mem:
bership. But, separately, they can
not do the work that they could do
if they were united. 1t might have
been thought at one time that they
would be divided upon the question
Of prohibition; but now the South is
leading the North in the opposition
to the liquor traffic.
Very much the same thing may be
said regarding the two branches of
the Presbyterian church. The
Northern and Southern Presbyterian
churches separated during the war,
and the dispute in their case was
also regarding slavery. But slavery
is dead, and there remains apparent
ly only certain declarations OF the
Northern assembly on the question
of slavery to keep them from uniting.
This is the obstacle to union which
appears upon the surface. But in
addition to this there is probably,
and that most unfortunately, q lack
of the spirit of brotherly love be-
tween the church members, and par.
ticularly between the preachers OF
the two churches.
They do not seem to recognize
that they are giving great scandal to
the cause of religion by this division.
If Christians should forgive each
other unto seventy times seven times,
it would seem that neither general
assembly has fully discharged its
duty in this regard as yet. Neither
general assembly has made 400
different offers of reconciliation
which have each and all been re-
jected. 1t would seem also that the
obligation not to reject such over
lures of peace is as strong as the ob.
legation to make them. Verify,
Christians have burned each other,
quite persuaded the apostles would
have done as they did

The Llander, published at Day
ton, says:
u" There is large class of extreme
prohibitionists who are not willing
to accept any compromise whatever.
They fight whiskey from a high
moral and sentimental standpoint.
Sentiment is very good and the
world could hardly get along with
out it, but it must be tempered with
a judicious mixture of coinmr sepse.
1t is not likely that prohib, ion will
provo the grand success that its ad-
vocates anticipate, aud i'll all likeli.
hood some middle measure will ulti.
ma;ely prevail and be found to an
swer the best. In this Territory
there are large numbers OF believ-
ers in prohibition who have slight
faith in the local option law. The
extremists of course feel that if pro-
hibition is only voted, it will hasten
the millennium, while on the other
hand the doubters look upon it a
good deal like blowing in IL gun to
sec if it is loaded"
