THE STTUATToY AT PANAMA.

The Panama situation appears to be good
deal confused. Admiral Jouett teiegrophs
that he has withdrawn the troops from Panama
on the assurance of the local government that
American interests will be respected and that
no more barricades will be built in the streets
AS the local government for the time being
is a body of insurgents, the AdmiraPs negotia-
ton with them seems incomprehenslble. How
they could give him any assurances OF the
least validity it is also impossible to under
stand. 1t is apparently mystery, too, why the
Admiral should have withdrawn the troops at
all, seeing that no change had occurred III the
situation since they took possession OF Panama
If it is held that the performance OF our treaty
duties-the keeping open of communication ana
transit across the Isthmus, that is to say-can
be secured without occupying Panama, 1t would
seem to follow that the original occupation was
uncalled for, and in fact wrong. If 1t was
justified by the attitude of the rebels under
Aizpuru, on the other hand, the withdrawal
could not have been warranted
Whatever dangers existed at the beginning
of the occupation were in force at its termlna-
ton, in short, and it seems difficult to ma an
explanation of the action of Admiral J0uelt
which does not involve the confession OF a
serious blunder somewhere. The recognition
of Aizpuru is the most remarkable feature in the
case, though the acceptance of his assurances
and the consequent ignoring of the Colombian
Government, are not less surprising. 1t seems
clear that no such arrangement can be binding
or effective and that if there was any point III
our possession of Panama, as against the rebels,
it has been abandoned through the most unique
negotiations perhaps ever heard of; the United
States being put in the position of handing over
a city belonging Co a friendly State to band OF
rebels in arms against that State. This, how
ever is but one phase of an affair which
threatens to furnish abundant complications.

Good BILLS TO PASS.

Among the bills awaiting action in the Legls-
lature which should be promptly passed are
those relating TO the offices of the County Clerk
and Register of Rings County. The passage OF
these measures would apply to Kings County

Ign Boss McLaughlins machine has drawn
its sustenance principally from the county
Offices. If these bills are passed the Register
and County Clerk will be paid salaries and
their enormous fees will be turned into the
county treasury. The Mclaughlin machine
stoutly opposes the bills, but the citizens of
Brooklyn, irrespective of party, demand their
passage. 1t is question to whether that
machine or the people of Brooklyn are to have
the most influence in the State Senate.
Both of these bills passed the Assembly on
March 12-the Registers bill by vote of 70
yeas to IL navs, and the County Clerks bill by
a vote of 70 yeas to nays They went
TO the Senate and were favorably
reported by the Judiciary Committee, and
have since remained in the general
orders of that body. Senator Daggett
is charged with secretly opposing them and
also with defeating the excellent measure pro-
vIding for an accounting by the Sheriff OF his
fees. But such statements are probably I'M
lust TO the Senator. No one has appeared be-
fore either the Senate or Assembly committees
to oppose the bills. They were prepared in
accordance with the well-ascertained wishes of
the people of Kings County and the platforms
of both political parties adopted by their
nominating conventions last October. 1t is
not likely, under such circumstances, that any
Republican will oppose the measure. Mr.
Daggett, being the only Republican from
Brooklyn in the Senate, ought to see that these
bills are pushed forward promptly.

GEyER1L MIDDLETOH'S REPULSE.

General Middleton's official report of his fight
with Riers rlen is an evident effort To put the
best face on what was in effect repulse for the
Canadian forces. 1t appears from careful
ANALYSIS of all the accounts that the rebels,
though driven into the ravine at Deer Creek by
the artillery fire, wore not surrounded, as at
first reported, nor was their position one OF
danger. At the close of the day it was General
Middleton who rctreated, leaving the battle
field in the possession Of the rebels 1t is
further evident that the Dominion troops sus-
tanned by far the heavier losses, the rebels
being all skilled mlrksmen and firing from
cover with deadly effect. There is In fact no
evidence that the rebels sustained serious
losses. The volunteers were mostly raw re-
cruits, and as usual in such cases probably fired
at random, doing little execution.
late report is TO the effect that General
Middleton was awaiting rebel attack. If this
be true it indicates a significant and ominods
change in the situation. IL was lrst stated that
he had beaten and surrounded the rebels.
Then, though he rctreatel without capturing
them, he was going 10 renew the attack OH
Sunday. Lastly il is said that he is waiting for
Rlel's men TO attack him. This would Indicate
even a more serious repulse than the reports
show, for it looks rs though the General could
no longer trust bis men in forward movement,
and had to put heart in them by keeping them
behind intrenchments As Middleton had
altogether some 500 men under him at Deer
Creek, while Rers men were estimated at 300,
the failure to drive them from their position
threatens to increase their prestige dangerously.
1t is EVIDENT that a telling blow ought to be
struck quickly, in short, but the general
news does not Justify an expectation that
the troops can assume the aggressive promptly
with much hope of success. The difficulties of
the case are indeed no greater than have been
anticipated, but as yet the means of surmount
ing those difficulties has not been found

INDUSTRIAL INSTRUCTION.

The efforts of the State Board of Charities TO

to prove successful. In the Supply bill now
before the Legislature there is an appropriation
for that purpose. The desrability Of such in
struction in the reform schools, and of teach
ing scientific principles which underlie all use
full trades and occupations, is sef-evident. The
lack of educated Industrial workers is shown
in many ways, the want being barely made up
by the importation Of foreign workmen.
mistaken idea of protecting themselves has led
trades unions to adopt a system OF restricting
the number Of apprentices which has
contributed TO lessen the number Of really IN
telligcnt wOrkmen in comparison with the
whole number engaged in any branch of me-
chanic arts. Industrial schools are being estab-
lished in many cities to overcome this difficulty.
But in no place is there so urgent demand for
such training as in the reform institutions, the
graduates of which mist necessarily become, to
large extent, industrial workers.
The industrial school idea is gaining ground
in various directions. In Boston the system of
normal education has been engrafted upon the
public schools, and the Superintendent says
that the experiment has already gone far
"enOugh to prove that work of this kind can be
COINED to the ordinary grammar school work
"wth good effect" and he advocates industrial
training for girls as well as boys.
The trade schools IN this city have proved of
great advantage. Cincinnati and Philadelphia
have worked III the same direction with salts
factory results. AS there Can be no doubt of
the practical advantage of such instruction.
every encouragement should be given for its
extension, and nowhere can that be done to
better advantage than in the reform schools.
Hence there should be no hesitation ON the pant

the Supply bill for that purpOse
