Chateau Rouge, familiarity known TO the inhabitants OF

years ago these gardens, which constituted sort

To prevent the redmen at Cheyenne from
going on the warpath the agent had deemed it wise to

the allowance OF beef to be cut down one-third This
put the warriors In dangerous MOOD ana congress was
besought for help in the sum OF $4,000 The Senators

earn what they eat and could not get 1t IN any other
way. the House would not be Obliged TO deiend us pre-
negatives.
Denis Kearney does not feel happy about
the veto OF the Chinese bill He has assured San Fran
cisco reporter that "the bird Of freedom has been

great part of their present burden. The creditor
would doubtless be glad to accept bond
issued or guaranteed by the United States, anu
in perpetual demand for banking purposes, at
n low rate of interest, and perhaps in some
instances for reduced principal. A lower
tax than now yields 6 per cent on the debt
without any provision for final payment would
then yield $40 per cent and means for extln-
gushing the debt within a reasonable time. IL
is probable that satisfactory settlement could
readily DO made with creditors, on the whole
81 00,00000O now costing SI2,Ooo'ooo
yearly, for 81 900 900, 900 of United States 3i2
per cent bonds so that half of the whole burden
would he rolled of forever 1t would be ne
cessary to make some provision against future
increase of debt, by any municipality OF state
asserting, without consent OF the United
STATES. and this also would be great safe
guard to taxpayers. In case it should not be
found desirable to include in the arrangement
the bonds of cities and towns, State bonds
only might be made the basis of first ex-
pertinent, or perhaps State and county bonds.
Is there any other mode by which $50, OOO.OOO
a year can be saved to the people, with as great
incidental advantages1 Does not this sugges-
ton seem to be at least worthy Tue attention vi
statesmen in Congress and elsewhere we 40
not now and here advocate it. We recognize
certain objections to its general principle
and complex embarrassments i'll its operation
Nevertheless it seems to us sufficiently practl'
cable and sufficiently desirable to merit at least
the fullest inquiry and the most careful con-
sideration. We throw it out in the hope that
its defects and its merits may alike pass under
the examination of many critics looking from
diff crent poiuts of view.

three other pending canal bills. The special
Committee on Canals appointed by the Senate
in 1881, in the report which 1T presented 10
the Legislature, recommended, az measure
which would tend to increase the commerce OF
the canals and diminish the cost of transpOrta-
ton thereon, that the State at once take steps
TO furnish an increased depth of water In the
Erie and Oswego Canals by excavating them
one foot more in depth from the bottom, and
with the earth taken therefrom raising the walls
one foot, thereby giving two feet greater depth
of water. The committee also recommended
that the Office of Canal Auditor be abolished,
and the duties of that office be transferred to
bureau in the Office of the Controller, and that the
Office of Canal Appraiser and those of Weigh
master and Resident Engineer also be abol-
ished. Bills embodyiDg these recommendations
of this special committee have been introduced
and are now in the hands of the appropriate
committees. None of them have yet passed
either House. Another canal bill of related
interest provides for the regulation of charges
for elevatng grain still another-an old stagsr
provides for the substitution of steam loco
motion for towing boats instead of animals;
third provides for dispensing with the present
locks and for building new set much wider
and longer.
1t is certain that if the people adopt the free
canal resolutions they will be more strenuous
than ever in insisting upon the strictest
economy consistent with the public interests in
all expenditures in the canal department. II 1t
can be made to appear to them that the Audi
tor the Appraisers and the Resident Engineers,
the Weighmasters or any other officials can be
dispensed with without damage to the public
service, they will have to go, and that too at an
early day. And another thin would seem to
be equally certain. If the canals are made free,
the people by way of completing the new policy
can be depended upon to increase their carry
ing capacity so that they may be equal to all
the demands which can Justly be made upon
Them

POINTS IN THE CANAL PROBLEM.

The resolutions providing for an amendment
tolls shall hereafter be imposed on persons or
property transported on the canals" have passed
the Legislature by such an emphatic vote that,
unless the people disagree with their represent
atives, it is certain of ratification at next
November's election. After ratification, what 7
BY the terms of the amendment the Legislature
will hereafter, by equitable taxes, make provi-
sion for the expenses of the superintendence
and repair of the canals, and an annual tax is
to be levied TO pay the interest and extinguish
the principal of the canal debt. This debt now
amounts to about nine million dollars. The
amendment further provides that the Legisla-
ture may, at its discretion, impose for the fiscal
year beginning October l, 1883, State tax
sufficient with the accumulations of the sinking
fund applicable thereto-amounting to about
So, 500, 900 at the end of the last fiscal year
to pay in full both the principal and interest
OF this canal debt. In the event of such action
by the Legislature, that body is to make such
provision for the retirement of the canal debt
az it shall deem equitable and just to the
creditors of the State.
We have thus stated all that the amendments
to the Constitution will accomplish in relation
to the canals. But it is interesting to note that
many of those who have been most active in
their advocacy of them Insist that their ratiGca-
ton will be comparatively useless unless they
are promptly followed by the Dassaee of two or

have got so tangled up themselves that they are
not likely to do much. glance ut the piiis
affecting New-York which have been intro
duced, and careful forecast of the probabil-
ties. show that the revolution is likely to go
over for year or two. But if anything is ac-
complshed il probably will have more MISCHIEF
than good about it. This Legislature taxes
more interest in city bills of doubtful merit or
of positive viciousness than in measures really
deserving support
Much criticism is INDUCED in against persons
in private life who cOnGone crimes committed
by persons in their employ, especially II repara-
tion is made in money. 1t is considered sound
public policy that guilty men should always be
punished for their unlawful deeds to serve rs n
warning for others whose principles need
tonic But the Long Island City officers appar-
eatly think that nothing is so unpleasant and
i'll bred as fuss Some of them want peace
at almost any price, apparently. On Monday the
deficiency in the accounts of the Chief Engineer
was made good by members of the Water
Board by the payment of Il few thousand dol
lars and the complaisant Aldermen decided
to accept this and have no more trouble. But
the taxpayers are by no means satisfied. Ihey
want to know who spent that money without
authority, and what it paid for. Their thirst
for information is commendable. We hope
they will find out.
The education Of the cOlored race in the
South is recognized by every man who has an
intelligent interest in National questions as
among the most urgent and important prob
lens of the day. Mr.. John +. Slater, OF Nor
wich, Conn., has made q magnificent contrlDu-
ton to the solution of this great problem,
having set apart fund of $1,OOO,OOO tor
that object The trustees whom he has Sc
lected are men of such character and posi-
ton as TO give assurance that this noble
Gift will he well and wisely administered
Among them are ex-President Hayes, Chief
Justice Waite, the Rev. Phillips Brooks, OF
Boston, and our own hOnorcd townsmen John
A. Stewart, Morris X. Jesup and William E.
Dodge. 1t is proposed that the incorporation
shall be under the laws of this State, and it is
desired that the fund shall he exempt from
taxation. There should be no hesitation in
making law of the bill which has been intro
duced at Albany to attain these ends. The
New-Ycrk Legislature should be eager to ald
in so benefcent a work i'll this manner. The
generous giver could have selected no wiser
and more fruitful way to do good. May lie live
many years to see the richest results from his
bounty in benefit to the coored people and to
the Southern States, and through these to the
whole country.
