Volney p. Brown being an ex-assrmblyn man

HAYTI YIELDS.

President Legitime of Hayti has been
forced to surrender the detained steamer
to the naval force sent by the United
States TO demand it. He has, also, under
the frown of the Yantic's guns, run up the
American flag on a Haytian gunboat and
saiuted it with twenty-one guns. He is
nov called upon to pay an indemnity OF
considerable amount for having seized an
American vessel. The affair will pro5a-
bly, result in Legitimes overthrow. The
Haytians are very likely to resent the hui
initiation they have suffered by revolution
lzing the government and possibly placing
LegitIme's head upon pikestaff. So far
as the United States Government is con
cerned it has done the right thing-it
could scarcely do otherwise without sub.
Je ting itself to the contempt of the world.
a revolutionary clan of Haytians obtaining
local control, seized an American steamer
on the charge that her captain had used
the vessel to aid another clan contending
with the party in power for control of the
Government. The United States was will
ing enough to leave that claim to be settled
automatically or by arbitration, but de-
n1anded that in the meantime the steamer
should be released and her owners indem-
nified for the detention. 1t would have
been no difficult task for the United States
Government TO have shown that the block
ade the steamer is charged with having
Violated was not such closing of ports as
Is held by nations worthy of recognition
Hayti would not look at the matter as pos
sible of settlement without retention by
her of the seized vessel The United
States has enforced its demand and there
the whole affair rests until the Haytian
Minister brin 5 it up for. further considerA-
ton and which it is not likely he will
do. It has been said that in this
matte our Government has bul.
lied Hayti, that nation being weak and
unable to resist us. But this oh arge is not
susceptible of maintenance Because
Hayti is small and weak, is no reason
whatever why the United States should
permit the property of its citizens to be
unlawfully seized by her. Had Hayti
been as strong as Great Britain the stu
alton would have been just the same 1t
was our duty to enforce the release of the
steamer, and that Hayti could not resist us
in nowise affects the case. Because the
little island Government is pigmy, gives
il no license to trespass upon the rights Of
Americans, nor could it excuse any neglect
on our part to demand and enforce justice
at her hands.

THE Queens speech in proroguing Par
lament is not notable for vigor or decision.
The fisheries difficulty with the
United States is very gingerly touched
upon, but it has the virtue of indicating
very amicable spirit with view
to further negotiation. The reference to
the Egyptian policy is surprising. How
the Queen can have been led to believe
that the rebels before Suakim and in the
Upper Nile region have been dispersed is
amazing. They have met one defeat be-
fore Suakim, but the Egyptian military
lines are not advanced by half dozen
miles as yet, nor is it likely that they viii
be. English and Egyptian arms have won
victories on the west of the Red Sea before
this, but not the paeifcation of the conn-
try; nor since 1888 have they materially
narrowed the power or broken the spirit
of the Mahdi. In other matters the report
OF the speech, as received in the United
States, does not disclose anything of gen
eraI interest, or indicate any lines Of policy

sUPERINTENDrNrs CONVENTION.
Christmas Day Spent in Discussing the
School Law-Recommendatfo


School Law-Recommendatio
The Convention of County Superintend-
ents convened yesterday in the Supreme
Courtroom at 1890 A. M. and remained in
session until 2PM
Several of the committees made partial
reports on amendments to the school law,
and were granted further time.
ARBoR DAY.
The Convention was unanimous in its re-
quest that an Arbor Day" be legally ap-
pointed. Our schools cannot protect the
forests, but they can raise up q generation
which will not leave our hillsides and
mountains treeless; a generation which
will frown upon and rebuke the wanton
destruction of our forests. There is not a
spot on earth that may not be made more
beautiful by the help of trees and flowers.
Trees everywhere exert a controlling moral
influence. Every sapling we plant in our
door yard, or upon the naked sidewalk in
front of our dwellings makes, with every
spreading branch, expanding leaf and open
| ing blossom, home pleasanter and the rec
objections OF it stronger. Let us have a
legally-appointed "Arbor Day." and take
| the children out of our schools and. under
proper directions, teach them how to plant
shade trees, shrubbery and flowers.
FREE TEXTBOOKS.
The question of free textbooks was
| discussed at length. 1t seemed to be the
opinion of the members of the Convention
that a law should be passed which should
call Tor vote IN each county or district to
| decide whether or not such county or dis
| trict shall furnish the free use of text
books. 1t is urged that such plan would
result IN the ultimate saving of one half
| of the present cost of books used where
each pupil furnishes his own. Each pupil
would be placed on an exact equality with
his neighbor, and the poor child would not
be subjected TO the humiliation of confess
ing his indulgence, as he must as the law
| now stands, to secure a free book. Each
pupil should be required to replace any
books lost, damaged or destr we'd. under
penalty of FORGETTING his seat in school. The
books would be much better cared for, and
| the pupils would be taught daily to respect
the authority of the State and care for its
property.
CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
The Convention was of the opinion that
the study of our Civil Government includ-
| ing the National Government and the i'm
| portant points in the State, county and CITY
| governments, should receive more atten-
ton in the public schools
The pupils should be required to men,
| orize the more important portions of the
Constitution, and made to understand its
| import. Such course is in the line of pre-
| pairing the rising generation for the duties
| of citizenship.
The Convention recommends that the
! State Board of Education be authorized to
compile, or cause to be compiled, an ele-
mentary work on civil government, the
same to be published at the State Printing
Office and be furnished at cost. No adj
ditional appropriation for its compilation
will be necessary, that already made
being sufficient for that purpose.

We cannot escape the conviction of
judgment that in the Samoan matter the
United States Government has played a
part not creditable to it, and has been put
upon by Germany in an insolent and un-
pardonable manner The reading of the
treaties with Samoa and the entire history
of the expatriation of Malietoa, i'm
presses one with the outrageous injustice
towards that native prince, the legitimacy
of whose claim to the throne cannot with
justice be denied. Not only American in
terests in the South Seas, but the demands
of civilization and humanity call upon us
to adopt a more vigorous policy in the
Samoan matter, and to resist and defeat
the evident purpose of Germany to dom
mate in the Islands and cripple past re-
covery all trade but that of German mer-
chants.
