Female Prosecuting Attorney ousted.

Mrs. Merrie Hoover Abbott, prose-
cutting attorney of Ogemaw county, by
an opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court on the 18th, cannot hold
the Office. The constitution of this
state does not express constitutional
or statutory authority which would
make a woman eligible to hold this
office, hence the judgment of custer
against Mrs. Abbott is ordered. Only
electors can be chosen for this office.

girls at the present time are
worth $50 acres of land and

pretty-that is, a majority of
them are-and they have been

the white people generally, and
it is not such a difficult task to
win one. Tams Bixby, chairman

that he expects one thousand
weddings to take place in the
Choctow nation within the next
fifteen days.

The object of the former school
law was TO make school books
free to pupils, but the changing
of the books entails such heavy
expense that scholars must bear a
part of the burden or there can
be no full term of school. 1t will
be interesting to know if the new
books change the fundamental
principles of mathematics, geog-
raphy, grammar, spelling or writ
ing. Perhaps the legislators
found new way to measure q
yard, or to add up a column of
figures, or to compute interest, or
to spell dog and cat, or to define
the boundaries of a country, or to
extract metaphysical knowledge
from the horoscope of pedagogi-
cal luminosity"

H. Bloomfield Bare, F. r. l.,
B. A, of Liverpool, has succeed
ed in inducing the science and
art department at South Kensing-
ton, London, to recognize his BIZ
manual system of teaching. Mr..
Bare, says the Liverpool Post,
'has shown thorough knowl-
edge of first principles in adopt
ing drawing as a medium of am
bidextrous instruction. His con-
current methods, by which both
hands are made to perform a sim
ultaneous function, has obviously
retarding as well as a stimulat-
ing influence. In other words, it
withdraws attention from the
right hand, whose dexterity in
the majority of cases become me-
chanical, and directs it to the left,
the result being that after a very
little practice Complementary
forms are produced with an ease
and accuracy which at the outset
might be justifiably deemed i'm
possible. The drawing of com :
Elementary figures is a severe
test of bimanual dexterity. The
superiority of the right hand is
obviously matter of pure prac-
tice, for so-called left-handel
people generally employ both
hands with equal facility" Chill
dren, as a rule, use both hands
impartially. Why should they be
compelled to use only the right
Why should the left hand be

mandarins trained upon language
and innocent of pure logic, are
said to be the keenest practical
logicians of the world. The
forms of reasoning, indeed, to
which a child is stimulated in
catching the meanings of SEN
fences of the mother speech, or
which a boy uses in making out
the meaning of sentence in his
Caesar from the imperfect data of
words and syntax, are the forms
o contingent reasoning which are
almost exclusively employed in
the decisions and judgments of
actual life. Men who pretend to
regulate their lives according to
weLl-constructed syllogisms-and
1t must be pretense or self-dccep-
ton, Tor there are no such syllo-
gisms in iife-are generally re-
garded as impossible men. They
are what are politely known as
CranKs.
So long as imitation of the larg-
er life, the life social and the life
spiritual, have power to call man
out of himself and his cell, these
studies have their place in the
schooling of mankind; for the
reach of the soul is higher than
the clutch of the hand.

The following incident of the
proceedings of the Nebraska Re-
publican State convention carries
its own comment:
Scarcely had the members
strolled into the building before a
modest, handsome fellow with a
clerical air entered and took a
seat in the rear. He was discov-
cred, and in a moment a roar
went up from the crowd, the
band began to play national airs
and the man was carried by main
force to the platform. 1t was the
Rev. Mr.. Mailley, chaplain Of the
First Nebraska, who distinguish
ed himself in many battles with
the troops in the Philippines. His
short speech drove the crowd
wild. He said:
81 am no politician, simply a
preacher. Frequently l am a dis
senter in religion as we'll as in
politics. l have voted against the
sentiment of whole communities.
In fact, never voted the Repub-
lican ticket. In peace am
against the administration if it is
wrong, but in time of war, after
the old flag has been fired upon
by an enemy whom we were try
ing to save and civilize, then l
am for the administration, right
or wrong. followed the First
First Nebraska over the rice
fields of Luzon, and shot the best
| could. Now have come home
to vote, and work the way l shot
for the administration"
This created great enthusiasm
and put the convention into splen-
did humor.

This query heads the following
statement in a recent number of
the New York telegram:
Deep researches as to the
structure of the human body have
recently furnished some startling
facts regarding changes which
man is undergoing physically.
1t is believed that man was en-
dowed formerly with more teeth
than he possesses now. Abund-
ant evidence exists that ages and
ages ago, human teeth were used
as weapons of defense. Unin-
tentionally, traces of such use are
often revealed by a sneer. The
teeth are somewhat barred, dog
like, ready, as it were, for action.
The practice of eating our food
cooked and the disuse of teeth as
weapons are said to be response
bic for the degenera ton that is
going on. The wisdom teeth,
in fact, are disappearing. HUI
man jaws, found in reputed Pale-
olithic deposits, have wisdom
teeth with crowns as large as, if
not larger than, the remaining
molars.
In ancient times a short-sighted
soldier or hunter was almost an
impossibility; today a whole ma
ton is afflicted with defective vi
sion. 1t is almost certain that
man once possessed a third eye,
by which he was enabled to see
above his head. The human
eyes formerly regarded the world
from the two sides of the head.
They are even now gradually
shifung to a more forward posi-
ton.
In the dim past the ear flap
was Of great service in ascertain
ing tn direction of sounds, and
operated largely in the play of
the features. But the muscles of
the ear have fallen into disuse,
for the fear of surprise by enc
mics no longer exists.
Again our sense of smell is
markedly inferior to that of saw
ages. That it is still decreasing
is evidenced by observations of
the olfactory organ. But the
nose still indicates a tendency to
become more prominent.

give. This is the best mission
airy, knowing when she may
knock at the door of the most
curmudgeonly hearts, without be-
ing turned away unheard. For

She is the home of the outcast,

and the wealth of the needy
Lowell.
AS the snow gathers together,
so our habits are formed. No
single fake that is added to the
pile produces sensible change;
no single action creates, however
it may exhibit mans character;
but as the tempest hurls the ava
lanche down the mountain, and
overwhelms the inhabitant and
his habitation, so passion, acting
upon the elements of mischief
which pernicious habits have
brought together by impercepi-
BILE accumulation, may overthrow
the edifice of truth and virtue. -

Is there a Democratic party9
We do not make the inquiry with
the least touch of sarcasm. We
think the facts and appearances
warrant the doubt that there ex-
lists today the compact, fully de-
veloped organic body which once
represented the spirit of Jeffer-
sonian simplicity and Jacksonian
martial vigor combined. IL there
is such body, where is it, and
what principles are guiding it?
Jefferson was an honest man and
patriot; Jackson was an honest
man, a patriot and a fighter.
Neither of these great Democrats
ever stood in sympathy with an
enemy of the flag or supported a
financial scheme for watering the
basis of the public credit.--New

A Great Gold Year.

This is going TO be the banner
year for gold mining. So far the
Rand leads the world, and un.ess
the war interferes with mining in
the Transvaal, the product will
greatly exceed that of any ofber
country. Then Australia during
the first six months of the present
year Increased her product by ID
per cent in excess of last year.
The estimate now is that the ex-
cess tor the year will be 90 per
cent. The Melbourne corresp IN
dent Of the London Econons. st
sta Is that the god product Of the
A. ira ian colonies during the
first slA months Of 1899 was close
up to - 90 900 ounces, and this
he says leaves 40 doubt thai the
yield for the year will fall little
short of GI6,ooo,ooo or $8o,ooo,-
900. The two colonies of Great
Britain, South Africa and Aus
tralia, will yield This year about
$2oo,ooo,ooo. The gain in Aus
tralia has been steady and very
wonderful. 1t was about Co.
900, 900 in 1896, Ell, 100000 in
1897, &I3,25o,ooo in 1893. 1t
may be mentioned that some of
the gold ore in Australia is the
toughest to reduce that has ever
been found.
The new discovery of gold on
the Alaskan coast is likely to be
a very pronounced feature in the
gold product of that country next
year, because the accounts cor
respond with legend that has
been running through mems ears
for a long time, how a ships
crew that went ashore in a little
boat for water were run off by
Ind ans, but while embarking in
their little boat the captain saw
traces of gold in the sand, filled
the pocket of the storm jacket
that he had on at the time with
handfuls of the sand, which jack
ct he put aside when he reached
the ship, and never thought of it
again until his little craft reached
Valparaiso, when lying in port
one day, he happened to think of
the incident, went and dug out
the old jacket, washed out the
proceeds in his pocket and had
$50 in gold. That place has been
sought for for fifteen years, and
it is believed that it has now been
found. The last accounts were
that 6ooo min rs had gone there
to winter, and that 5000 more
would be there in the spring, and
that the three creeks running in
to the little bay had been eXplor-
ed and all had been found to be
exceedingly rich in gold.-Sait

no man who read the evidence adj
duced at his trial will say that he
is guilty. Rather will h. predict
the downfall Of a nation which
tolerates such prosecutions. Il is
safe to say that no more liberty
loving people reside anywhere
than here and the people unive-s-
ally considered his conviction an
outrage, and yet the great COM
mouwea!h of the fair State of
Idaho, through its governor, has
and is now perpetrating equally
as great, If not greater outrage,
owing to the suffering, upon the
citizens of the Occur d'Alene, a
part of our own State, than the
farcical Dreyfus trial in France.
Let us look at the facts calmly
and see what we are guilty of
doing through Steunenberg.
On the 29lh day of April, 1870,
a few hot headed, rabid, radical
men, because of some grievance,
imaginary or otherwise, banded
themselves together and blew up
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine.
The owners of the mine, prior to
that date, fearing violence, called
upon the State authorities for
protection, but their request was
UNDECIDED. After the damage
was done the governor called up
on the National authorities for
Federal troops to aid him, which
of course were furnished, and he
went with the battle Scared vet
Grams Of Santiago to the scene Of
outrage and had every miner in
the district corralled, like sheep,
and thrown into the now notorious
"Bull Pen" No inquiry was
made or effort used to find out
who was guilty or who was inno-
cent, but all alike; the clean and
the NANCY, were guarded by the
Federal troops. Not even con-
tent with this, every man seeking
employment was forced to go be-
fore the Secretary of State and
bow his head in solemn awe and
say, "Oh, please, Mr.. Bartlett
Sinclair, give me permit to la
Dor that | may earn the where
Withal with which to feed and
Clothe my wife and babies. "
Writs of habeas corpus were de-
MED and the governor was, for
the time, monarch of all he sur
Veyed. The innocent were de-
MED the right and privilege which
the Constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen,
OF proving himself innocent, but
We're for. ed TO wait the will! and

trying to make political capital

mOcracy for calling upon and us
