Paid for the Corn.

T. H. Caley's corn crib appears to
have been considered public property
by several parties. Last Saturday on
good information a warrant was issued
charging John Thomas with the theft
OF some corn but Thomas, although
denying his guilt, settled for it by pay
ing $50 rather than go to trial. Mr..
Galley dislikes to settle with a criminal
but as the man who gave the informa-
ton was afraid to go into court and
swear against Thomas there was moth
ing left for him to do but accept the
settlement

A Barcelona newspaper, Ell Diluvio,
expresses the Spanish idea of colony
very frankly as follows: "We do not have
colonies to protect them with our money.
We have them as markets in which to
sell our products, whether they like it
or not, and if we civilized them, giving
them our language and religion, we
have the right in exchange to send our
sons there to make their fortunes, and,
furthermore, it is our privilege to enjoy
here all the benefits Of possessing those
distant lands.''

Increase Of Population.

The government authorities and DO
utical economists of France are becom-
Ing seriously troubled at the slow in
crease Of population in that country. In
some sections the number of inhabitants
Is stationary, if not actually declining.
The marriage and birth rates have fallen
on alar1ningly. The authorities will try
10 take some measures to arrest by law
the decline, whether by making mar
mage compulsory or by giving bounties
to the parents Of large families is not
stated.
The situation, however, proves only
that the French people, the best econ
omlsts in the world, are wiser than
their rulers. They show, indeed, the
highest wisdom in refusing to increase
population already too numerous for
the means of support. There is in all
naturally constituted persons Of both
sexes fondness for little children.
Their beauty, innocence and helpless
ness appeal as nothing else does to the
>~S' oAAouAAuSAh W COul1O1 CttU1o C1I
cumstances, with ample means for Civ
ing their beloved offspring the best start
In life and for making their youth and
childhood joyous. mankind almost with
out exception would find their best hap
piness in the family relation, surrounded
by their children.
Without such ample MEANS however,
children with wan faces and ragged
garments are merely 50 many accusing
angels to father and mother Of any
sensibility. No people Oh earth are
tonder Of children or of domestic life
than the French. That families are de-
olining among them only shows there
fore that they know they are too poor
to bring children up with the advan-
tages they should have
Those who try to encourage marriage
and large families in France under pres
ent economic conditions are therefore
barking up the wrong tree. Let these
economic conditions be overhauled not
only in France, but everywhere.

The bill introduced by Representative
Hubbard Of Missouri to appoint COM
mission to decide on the Indebtedness of
the Pacific railroad to the United States
has at least one merit. While it gives
$40, 900 in lump sum as compensation
to each Of the Is members of that COM
mission, it does not provide for the
length Of time they shall serve. If ap-
pointed according to the provisions of
Mr. Hubbard's bill, therefore, the COM
missioners will hurry their work through
in businesslike way to get their money
as soon as possible.

For the Nicaragua Canal.

DR.. Albert Shaw, in The Review of
Reviews, thus speaks out for the people
OF America on the subject of who should
build the Nicaragua canal:
The government of the United States has
made innumerable blunders, both diplomatic
and Legislative In connection with the 18TH
mian transit question:, and it is earnestly to
be hoped that there will be enough courage
character and resolution at Washington to get
this question finally settled within the coming
four years. The best policy would be that Of
out and out construction, ownership and Do
litical control by the United States govern
mcnt, with the ownership of strip Of terri
tory along either bank of tho canal, such as
Nicaragua has in the past agreed to confer
upon the United States This would put our
government in the same position respecting the
Nicaragua canal that it holds toward all the
other navigable waterways of the United
States. In building our own canal on our own
territory, we avoid diplomatic questions alto.
sether, and also provide what Is by far the
most economical and effective Arrangement
The alternative proposition would be to allow
= private company to build and own the canal
with money borrowed from European capital
lists under the bond guarantee of the United
States government. 1t would be better that
our government should issue it's own bonds
direct for the prosecution of the canal as a
government work, rather than to guarantee
she bonds OF private company. In the gov
efnments direct construction and ownership
OF the canal there would be no scandals and
no extravaganza. But it will be practically
dlfhcult to avoid scandals and extravaganza
and the ultimate swindling of the government
II private promoters to float the scheme
with the United States guaranteeing the
bonds.

A Splendid Offer.

THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE.
always at the front where genuine
newspaper enterprise is concerned,
makes a wonderfully liberal offer to
the teachers of the Northwest, and
which is worth their early and careful
consideration. The offer involves the
formation of different words from the
title ''The Tribune'' and includes
forty splendid prizes, the value of some
OF them amounting to nearly $3.50. 90,
they range from two trip tickets to
the National Exposition, with snug
sum in cash, down through list of
money and transportation prizes, anv
one of which will repay the effort
necessary to comply with the very SIM
pie conditions.
The offer is not limited to teachers,
either although they are given special
inducements, but is within the reach
OF every one who desires to enter the
contest, and as the details of the same
have been thoroughly advertised for
the past week or two, no one need be
in ignorance as to what is required,
However, we have no doubt THE
TRIBUNE will answer all inquiries
concerning the offer, and as the con-
test closes July 20, teachers and others
anxious to compete cannot begin too
early. The amount involved in prizes
is a cool $1,000.
This is an opportunity for some of
our bright young people to show their
enterprise. Get to work. We may
just as we'll have some OF THE TRIB-
UNE'S good things and want to see
some of our readers travel at their ex-
pense or wear a gold watch set with
diamonds.

John Hays Hammond, the American
who was mixed up in the British raid
In the Transyaal, and who was one of
those captured and subsequently released
by Paul Kruger's government, writes
for The North American Review a pa
per on the future of South Africa. He
says it will certainly be 80 years yet be-
fore the gold deposits in Witwatersrand
district are exhausted. Three billion
dollars may be put down as moderate
estimate Of the gold that will be obtain
ed altogether from the district When
we consider that the entire output of
California from 1849 up to the end Of
1896 has been only $1,282, 900, 900, we
form an idea Of how rich the South At
rican central gold yielding district is.
Mr.. Hammond believes that in a few
years the annual output of the Rand
district will be 800, 900, 900.

ut makes difference whose OK is

A LOW-LiYed Sneak.

Some time Wednesday evening of
last week some evil-minded person en-
tered T. H. Caley's warehouse and cut
and slashed the leather trimmings of
four buggies besides soaring the
bodies. The damage was estimated by
Mr.. Galley to be somewhere about $40
and he has very strong reason to be-
lieve that he knows who the guilty
party is. This malicious destruction
OF property was done by man of the
most dangerous criminal inclinations.
He is sneak who would burn property
or poison cattle on the slightest provo
cation and should be brought to &C.
count. Mr.. Galley offers a reward of
800 for information which will con-
vict the sneak, which amount will be
paid very cheerfully.
