REWARDS FOR OUTLAWS OF
FERED.

Governor Wells has offered rewards
for twelve notorious outlaws. members
Of the famous. or rather infamous,
Robbers Roost gang. For seven of
them the reward offered is five hundred
dollars apiece; for the remaining five
the reward offered is two hundred dol
lars apiece. What the result of the Of
fer OF these rewards viii be, time
alone can tell, but it should be good, for
they are very liberal The rewards are
not dependent upon the conviction of
the outlaws, quite common provision,
but merely require the apprehension
and delivery TO a safe Jail of the out-
laws. That is the only requirement of
the governors proclamation. Nothing
is said about whether they shall be de-
hvered dead or alive, but it is most
probable that if the dead bodies of the
outlaws are delivered to a safe jail,
provided the outlaws met death while
resisting the officers or trying to es-
cape from them, the rewards will be
paid
We are glad that Governor Wells has
offered these rewards, and we feel sure
that his course will have the hearty
approval of the people of the entire
state. For several years these same
outlaws and others associated with
them have been depredating upon and
raiding the law-abiding citizens of the
eastern part of the state until they
have rendered life and property inse-
cure. Not only have they done this.
but they have brought reproach and
disgrace upon the state itself, and given
it most unenviable reputation. 1t
looks now as though the beginning of
the end had come. Having started to
run these outlaws down. there should be
no let up until they are run down. 1t
may be expensive in the meantime, but
it viii be cheap in the end.

any but firm friends of silver should
dominate the Democratic convention.
After making its prediction, the
tribune says that the result of the ma
tonal convention Will make it neces-
sary for all Democrats, Republicans,
fopulists and Independents 10 combine
and form a new party. But our con-
temporary has frequently of late ex-
pressed the belief that the Democrats
would blindly follow their party no
matter what kind of a platform it
might promulgate. It expressed this
oeilet in its article on the Knutsford
meeting In the event of its predic-
uen coming true (of which there is no
such possibility, it must believe that
the Democrats would follow gold lead
ers' and believing so it cannot believe
mat Democrats would join with Re-
puohcans, Populists and others in
combine the purpose OF which was the
formation of new party. And if. as
the Tribune says, Democrats viii
choose party to principle, and their
party repudiates silver. then there
would be absolutely no hope for silver.
The hope for silver is in the Demo-
cratic party and not in any hotch-pot
party.

THE OUTLOOK IS wAR11KE.

The aspect of the Spanish trouble has
changed so frequently of late. now ap-
pearing warlike. now peaceful. that it
mas been quite impossible to form any
definite opinion as TO what would be
the outcome of it all; perhaps it is yet
impossible to form any such opinion
But matters look more warlike today
than they have at all, for they seem
to have reached that point where the
United States or Spain must make a
| complete backdown or fight. This gov
eminent cannot and will not back
down. and the latest determination of
the Spanish ministry is not TO make
any further concessions. Over Spain
there is sweeping an almost tidal wave
Of patriotism. and it is doubtful if the
ministry can withstand it, in truth, it
is doubtful if the dynasty could oppose
it and live
In our own country the war spirit
is aroused and it will down to nothing
less than the complete surrender of
Spain. The administration itself can
not be ignorant of the public sentiment
on the Cuban question, neither can it
ignore it..
Another thing which shows that war
is imminent, though it may yet be
averted. is the fact that the repre-
sentatives of the six great powers of
Europe yesterday waited upon Presi-
dent Mckinley and presented him with
an address in the name of their re-
spective governments. expressing the
hope that further negotiations will lead
to an agreement for the maintenance
of peace and the re-establishment of
peace in Cuba. The address was re-
ceived in the same friendly spirit in
which it was offered. The incident is
memorable, being the first of its kind
IN history. Just what it's import may
be it is hard to say; it may mean much
or 1t may mean little probably little,
nothing more than a courteous COM
pliance with appeals made to the vari-
Gus powers by the queen regent of
Spain.
AT the present time the outlook for
peace cannot be said to be promising:
but all viii hope for peace until stern
war comes.

FALSE PREDICTIONS ABOUT
DEMOCRATS.

In the course of its comments on the
address Of the Silver Republican COM
mittee and the letter Of Senator Can
non 10 Chairman Lippmap, the Tribune
said:
We doubt very much whether Demo-
Gratis who believe in silver will be able
t. control the Democratic national
convention in 1860. If the country is
blessed by another great harvest, and
war or the misfortunes of the out
side world supply good market at
fair prices for IL, then we predict that
in 1860 the gold Democrats viii pack
the Democratic convention and dictate
its platform and nominations, even as
the gold Republicans win the Repub-
Hcan convention.
II is rather an unusual thing for
anyone to doubt that the great ma
jority of q party viii be able to con-
troll its national convention. The
Democrats who left the party in 1SgG
and adopted the indianapolis platform
make no profession Of allegiance to the
regular Democratic party; in fact, jhcy
repudiate ft.
The Tribune predicts that in certain
contingencies the gold Democrats, as
II terms the national Democrats. win
pack the Democratic convention in
1900, and dictate its platform and
nominations, even as the gold Re-
publicans win the Republican conven-
ton. 1t is entirely mistaken. The test
of admission to Democratic state con-
ventions to elect delegates to a ma
tional convention viii be acceptance Of
and adherence to the Chicago platform.
How can national Democrats pass any
such test? Gold Democrats would
not stultify themselves by passing it
that they might subsequently betray
the party; We do not believe they
would DO that any more than we be-
Ieve Democrats would stultify them
selves TO get into national Demo-
cratic convention that they might be-
tray that party.
OF course the gold Republicans will
dictate the platform and nominations
Of the Republican convention because
acceptance Of and adherence to the
gold standard is a supreme test of Re-
the same as the acceptance
Of and adherence TO the free. unlimited
and independent coinage Of silver is a (
supreme test of Democracy; and be-
cause it is it makes it impossible that

TEACHING CIVIL GOVERNMENT

Michigan has one of the best school
systems of any state in the Union, and
such being the case, it will naturally
be presumed that questions submitted
to those. who make application to teach
Will be thorough and searching, and a
model for other states TO follow The
superintendent Of public instruction
has drawn up a number of questions
on civil government which would-be
teachers must answer. The questions
are not merely interesting. but some
of them are quite amusing. Here are
a few of them:
What federal appointments in NIichi-
gan have recently been made?
Mention any others that are to be
filed
state Briefly the origin of American
political parties.
NVhac member of the cabinet was re-
Gently appointed a justice of the su
Pre- me court, and who was appointed
to fill the vacancy?
State in what respect the colonies
We're extensions of England, in what
respect dependencies, and the basis
upon which these claims were made.
Briefly discuss the complications that
might ensue from the acknowledge
ment of Cuban belligerency by the
United States
Give the meaning of the elastic clause
of the constitution.
What important question was in
VOWED in the Teller resolution? Does
the house or senate favor the ques-
tfo1?
Give at least three reasons why gold
and silver are used in coinage by all
civilized nations. Name some substi-
tUtes for money.
It is a very important matter that
teachers know what federal appoint
ments have recently been made in
Michigan; knowing that, it gives them
a chance to trim their sails; if they
could tell what appointments are going
to be made, they would find such
knowledge invaluable.
Briefly discuss the complications
that might ensue from the acknowl-
edgement of Cuban belIigerency by the
United States" They couldn't be dis
cLssed briefly.
Teachers are asked to give the mean
ing of the elastic clause of the consti- /
tuition. In this case the first thing to
do is to find the clause before giving I
the meaning; in fact, it is easier to give /
the meaning OF the clause when found I
than to find it.
1t would be interesting to read the I
answers 10 these questions. Some Of /
them are proper enough, while some I
OF them are absurd in the extreme Il /
the teachers to whom they are sub
mitted do not know more about civil
than those who formu-
lated them, then they are not qualified
to Instruct the children of the schools.

More Gold Mines.

Stories of big finds" OF gold reach
us, not only from the Klondike. but
from many parts of the country not
hitherto suspected of being veined by
the precious metal. A tremendous i'm
petus to mining industry and the de-
velopment by syndicates of capitalists
of natural wealth in numerous direc-
tions has resulted. The exposure and

been productive of rheumatism, one of
the most obstinate and asonizing of
complaints. As a means of ameliorat-

Some of the officials in Washington
have very peculiar ideas of the func-
lions of their Office. Secretary Bliss IS
one of these. He appears to think that
he is wiser and more powerful than
the law-making branch of the govern
ment- We base this assertion on the
following statement made by him in a
letter to Commissioner of the Land
Office Harmon: Il have to state that.
in view of the fact that provision is
made in the Indian appropriation bill.

Would the secretary then say that he
would not wait until provision in ac-
cordance with his ideas was enacted
into law? He and his predecessor set
themselves up as being above the law

law in the country today,
and this is being supplemented with
executive-made law. 1t is about time
