OTTAWA, April 6-The tent Of tho
proceedings at the conference between
the Dominion and Manitoba govern
ment commissioners, which closed
without result at Winnipeg, hare besp
nAds public. The oha6isl statement

each day for
Religious Exsroises and Tsachlug,

but authorized by tho latter and &C.
ceptable to majority Of the school
trustees. No pupils should be required
to attend the religious exercises if the
parents objected, and such pupils would
be dismissed at $50. This proposition
the Dominion government, through its
commissioners. refused to accept and

A CLEAR ARGUMENT.

The Republican party is indeed very
undecided as to its money plank. Some
of the conventions have declared OPEN
" for the gold standard and others
have straddlsd the question. The
'Crookston convention made the fol-
lowing financial plank:
sBe it resolved, That we are in fav-
er OF the largest possible use of silver
as money that is consistent with the
permanent maintenance of equal val
ues OF all dollars in circulation in the
United States. We donot want mono
metalism, either of gold or silver, and
pledge ourselves to continue the work
Of bimetalism, to be brought about by
all fit means within the power of the
government.
''The largest use of silver as money
that is consistent with the permanent
maintenance of equalvalues of all dol
lars in circulation in the United States.''
What does that mean? It means that
they believe in such an amount of sill
yer money as can be circulated at par
with gold by being .sinterconvertible''
redeemed in gold. And then they
they do not believe in monometallism.
Oh, such consistency It really seems
as though they are trying to hoodwink
the people.
In the Second District the following
plank was reported to the convention
and caused much debate; and though
it did not:pass it was replaced .by no
other plank, and shows how undeci-
ded and afraid they are when it comes
to the financial issue.
I'VE are nnyield ing in our demands
for honeet money. We are unaltera-
ably opposed to any scheme that will
give to this country depreciate and de-
based Currency, but to the extent only
and under such restrictions that It's

[S.SVENSKA AMERlKANSKA
POsTEN A REPUBLICAN !
& PAPERp .

1--WE do not understand what
DR.. Johnson means by booming
Svenska Amerikanska Posten
as he does in the last Willmar
TRIBUNE. That the paper Sven
ska Amerikanska Posten } is now
out and out Republican can be no
question. Aud a paper with
such a future as this has should
not receive commentator from
a Peoples Party man. Probably
DR.. johnson did not know what
he recommended, when he gave
Posten his certificate. -Nye Nor
manden.
We confess that we did not
know that Svenska American
ska Posten, was, is, or is going
to be a republican newspaper,
and we hope that Nye Norman
den is mistaken. Of course
Svenska Amerikanska Posten
does not profess to be an out and
out Peoples Party newspaper,
but rather an independent news
paper, that has never
theless generally been on the
right side of every public ques-
ton as long as we have known it.
It supported Owen in the last
campaign, and we have seen
nothing to indicate any change
of policy in the management of it
so far. To be sure Herman Stock
enstrom has entered the editor
ial sanctvm of Posten, but we
are informed that Mr.. Stocken-
strom is at heart a Populist. AS
all the bright and progressive
minds are today leaving the old
parties and joining the new pc.
litical movement, it was but ma
tural for us to suppose that Mr..
Stockenstrom was on the move
also. However, we may be mis-
taken. Still we can hardly be-
lieve that so able newspaper men
as the Turnblads are, should
change their hitherto prosper
Gus and progressive course, for
one that means inevitable stagna-
ton and decay. We are not
alarmed. Svenska American.
ska Posten has in the past done
a magnificent work in educating
it's readers on the public ques-
tons of the day, and if it should
cease to lead in the van of en-
ightened public opinion, it will
simply be left in the rear, give
place to some other Swedish pa,
per that will take its place. The
political reform movement it has
soably helped to inaugurate can
not be stopped, by anyone, or
even, dozens of leaders dropping
out of the ranks or falling by the
wayside. For everyone that
falls there are now scores of as
able, and brave minds ready to
step to the front.
But we are not yet ready to
believe that Svenska American.
ska Posten has turned it's back to
the front.

"NOW, WEsVEGOTTHE DOCTOR"

1t is exceedingly amusing to see our
political opponents scramble for some
little delinquency on our part, for
basis OF an attack on the principles we
advocate. Two weeks ago our proof
reader overlooked little innocent Co.,
that should have been an "a instead,
an insignificant typographical error,
something that occurs in al newspa-
pers, and straightway our Republican
brethren Jump into the arena, shouting
"Now we've got him!-the Doctor.
Here he writes ''terr incognito'', which
should have been terra incognita."
This proves that he doesn't know how
to spell Latin. But if he doesn't know
Latin he must also be ignorant con-
corning the money question:
The Benson Times says:-Dr. John
son, of the Willmar Tribune, in en-
deavOring to "squelch'' the editor of
the Atwater Republican, says: "The
money question is terra incognito to
Bro. Satterlee." The proper use of
Latin seems to be terra incognita to
&C. J.," and if he does not know more
concerning the money question, he
had better leave the matter of instruc-
ton on that subject to wiser minds.
Bro. Crosby. quotes this, evidently
feeling it was a great point we'll taken,
and Bro. Birch, that accurate and pro-
found scholar, has of course his GUT
faw about it. : IT. s@5s=s= i. 49,.
And they think theyhave demolished
our arguments and facts in favor of
free silverb by discovering that little 90
where it ought not to have been!
Seraphic wisdom! Profound logic!
Doff your hats We simple minded to
these wiser minds A little 90 run
astray has whipped the Doctor, and
there is oygal ore in our enemies camp
over this signal victory for the gold
standard szs ....
IN %. one sense we are not surprised at
this great ado about nothing in our
enemies camp. Drowning men catch

imagine them to BE life-saying planks.
We Do not blame them for their JOY

than q deprecated dollar; it favors
the money men and impoyerishes the
producer and 1aborer while 8 deprec-
lated dollar favors the poor and in
jures the rich. Both, Of course, are
dishonest But who wants a depre-
ciated money? All We want is to re-
store to this country its former stand
ard dollar, the honest dollar.--New
London Times. ..<
Z We quote the above from the
young and virile pen of Eben
Lawson, the editor Of the New
London Times, with more than
usual delight. And not merely
either becausethe ideas express
sed agree with our own. We
quote it more as a rare specimen
of clear and lucid reasoning and
penetrating mental power on a
somewhat abstruse and befud-
died subject by a youth of his
age. But we quote it especially
for the style of language. For
terse, vigorous and pointed criti-
cism this little article would do
justice to a mind trained by long
years of practice in this line of
mental exercise. And it is the
result of the common school, the
old No. z, of New London. Eben
Lawson is going to make his
mark in the world. The little
red school house is doing it's
work just the same, and we may
rest assured that the coming
generation is going to make this
country the grand temple of
justice and liberty that Washing
ton, Jefferson and Franklin de-
signed it to be.
Yes, it is the common school
that is the savior of this nation
and the world: The jewels of
mankind are not found simply
among the rich and afauent, but
in every hamlet and in all classes
of society. Formerly only those
born with silver spoon in their
mouth had a chance of education.
The bright minds of the poor,
the vast majority of mankind,
were left covered with rubbish
in obscurity. But the common
school gives all the pebbles a
rubbing, and the gems from the
log cabin, as we'll as the mansion
gets a chance to shine. The
common school is the glory and
grandeur of American civiliza-
ton.
Higher education is necessary
and proper for those who can af-
ford it, but it is simply the dress
parade, while the common school
is the regular service drill to the
army of humanity.
Every cent spent to support
and perfect our common schools
is the pure seed of a glorious
harvest for time and eternity.
1t is the polishing of the eternal
jewels of human souls.

This city could not make better in
vestment than to create a liability OF
some 100000 now for clear water, a
sewer system and High School build
ing. 1t would not need to be all called for
at once. 1t will take half a year to plan
and decide, 1t will take two years to
carry out and execute completely. In
the meantime the appreciation in
values will more than meet the aug
mented liabilities by producing larger
revenues The debt would be q steadily
diminishing one; its repayment Is by the
Constitution wisely, justly distributed
over a long period, so that the people
present and to come in that time will
bear their fair share, and those present
and to come will enjoy equally the bene-
fits of these needed improvements. We
have expended over a thousand dollars
already in plans for a sewer system.
These plans have been approved by the
best engineering talent. They have
even been approved by the Board Of
Trustees. But after months Of debate
and after paying for the plans. and the

NOW YOU'RE SHOUTIN."
George Cooper Enlivens the Police
Court Routine.

George Cooper" called Judge Davis
yesterday in the Police Court.
Here, SIR" answered a cheerful voice,
as the owner sprang to his feet in the
prisoners dock. He stepped out, and
leaning with a debonnaire air upon the
clerks desk, while broad smile illum-
ined the depths of his countenance,
he slapped his battered hat gear
down ON the cash book like a bull
broker who had successfully bucked
the bears.
George" said his honor, you are
charged with being drunk. Were you?''
Now, you're shoutin'!" answered
Cooper. II was drunk-good and
drunk! You see, Jedge," he added, with
another insinuating smile, II am only
an old drunken miner from Placer
County. I come down here to get drunk,
and-dont let anyone fool you-I did
it all right"
Have good timer" inquired his
honor.
Did I? Now you're shoutin' again!
had an awful good time; you bet I
did! Want to go home? Do /? Well,
rather. I've had all the dog-gone rot
gut I want this trip, because you see, "
he added, with another merry laugh
that rang loudly through the court
room, I'm busted! Yes, sir; financially
broke, and if you'll just say the word,
and 1 just know you will, I'll chase my
self back to Auburn, get a grub stake
and gopher around some more and
make another stake"
The mans spontaneous hilarity saved
him, and the Judge dismissed him with
a warning that utterly failed in its
effect, for he started an harangue that
convulsed everyone in the courtroom.
Here. you'd better stop that old talk
and get out" interrupted Major Ander-
son.
The old miner turned a surprised
face in the Majors direction, picked up
his battered tile and with a deep sigh
said, "All right, old man; I'll go you!"
With that he Stalked forth.

CALLENDINE'S ALIBI
Considerably Shaken Yesterday by
Witnesses in Rebuttal.

The Callendine robbery case was not
concluded yesterday, as had been ex-
pected. The prosecution had a Chi
nese witness on the stand to rebut some
of the testimony on which the defense
relied to prove its theory of an alibi.
and General Hart made such strenu-
Gus efforts to "tangle' the witness in
the meshes Of his own statements that
all the afternoon was taken up in that
way.
The Chinaman's testimony went to
contradict statements made as to CAL
lendine' movements on the day preced-
ing the night on which the car office
was robbed.
John Tyndall testified that Barney
Carroll was in his company on the night
before Christmas, and if this be true
Carroll could not, as he had testified,
have met Callendine in the city.
There was considerable other evidence
given in rebuttal of that Of the de-
fense, including some relating to the bad
character Of Callendine. 1t is thought
the case will be concluded to-day

The terrible tragedy near San Jose
would seem to have been the result of
Unsuitable greed for blood on the part
OF the monster Durham. 1t is incon-
ceivabIe that one with SO little purpose,
having no seeming of reason or excuse
by way of aggravation, could have been
so bloedthirsty and yet be sane. The
very deliberation Of the assassin chal-
lenges the question Of the mans sanity.
But that should make no difference. Eel
lows of the Dunham stripe, sane Or de-
mented, are fit only for the gallows, and
a short shrift at that. If this fellow, SO
well known, escapes the pursuit Of the
officers in search for him it will be mar
velous, and shame and a disgrace.
