THE DAILY RECORD TO THE RESCUE.

THE DAILY RECORD TO THE RESCUE.
Three days after the explosion The
Daily Record, which had from the first
given exceptional prominence to every
thing connected with the outrages, is
sued special supplement, in which, in
letter to the people of England, the
editor said that in view of the infamous
conspiracy which had been formed
against the welfare of the British en-
pire and against the lives Of British
citizens, the proprietors Of The Daily
Record had some months ago decided to
bring all their resources, capital and
energy to bear upon the discovery of
the promoters Of the conspiracy. In the
carrying out Of this investigation the
services OF the very ablest English and
foreign detectives had been engaged,
their instructions being that, so long as
absolute secrecy was observed and ul-
innate success attained, the question of
expense was to remain entirely uncon-
sidered. AS result, he was now able to
supply the names and, in three cases.
personal descriptions and portraits of
seven men who were beyond all ques-
ton the leaders Of the movement, and
one Of whom. though which he regret
ted he was at present unable to say,
the notorious Captain Shannon himself.
The proprietors Of The Record had not
intended, he said, to make known their
discoveries until the investigation had
reached more forward and satisfactory
stage, but in view Of what had recently
occurred they had decided that it would
not be right to withhold any informa.
ton which might assist in bringing the
perpetrators Of the diabolical outrage to
justice. In conclusion he announced
that the proprietors of The Daily Record
were prepared to offer the following re.
wards:
First. They would pay to any person.
by means Of whose information the can.
ture had been effected, a reward of g.
600 per head for the arrest of any of the
seven men whose names appeared on
the list.
Second. any person who would
give such information as would lead To
the arrest Of Captain Shannon, and at
the same time furnish proof of his iden.
dty. they would pay a reward Of e2O..
900.
And in Offering these rewards thew
made no exception in regard to the per.
sons who were eligible to claim them.

DISTINCTIONS, are doomed, and that their
utter downfall is only matter of time?
Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy,
France and England are undermined to
the very cores by socialism and anarchy.
The mines which are to destroy society
as society now exists are laid, though
they are out of sight, and at any mo-
ment the opportunity may come to fire
the train. Such an opportunity once &C.
Cured in France, but what happened
then, though it served to show what
hatred of its rulers was seething unsus-
pected in the lowest stratum of society,
was mere accident. But, if an ACCT
dental outbreak like the French revolu-
ton could set rivers of blood running
in France, what may we not expect
from the great revolution which, when
it comes, as come it must will be the
result not of chance. but Of long years
of systematic propagation of socialistic
principles among the masses?
''There are people who will say that
what happened ON the other side Of the
channel can never happen on this But
those who know what is going on in
London, Manchester, Birmingham and
all the largest towns know that we are
living on the edge of q volcano; that
England is ripper for revolution today
than France was in 1889, though the
danger is as little suspected now as it
was then, and that what happened then,
and worse, may happen at any time in
England unless her councillors have the
foresight and the wisdom to give to the
people what the people will assuredly
otherwise take.
