Three Inadequate Reasons.

1t may DO assumed that the formal pro-
test which Minister HosHI has filed with
Secretary SHERMAN comprises all of i'm
p%ortance that his Government has to say
against our annexation of Hawaii, and yet
1t Is certainly not enough.
I the three reasons brought forward, the
first, that the maintenance of tho status
quo of Hawaii Is essential to the good
understanding of the powers which have
interests In the Pacific" is clearly not
sound. The fact Is that, of all the ma
tions that nave interests In hat sea,
Japan is the only one which has made
a protest, and Japan herself did not pro-
test against the previous treaty Of an
nexation made by the Harrison Admins
tration over four years ago. We may there
fore conclude that our annexation of Hawaii
would not interfere with the good under
standing of the powers any more than the
many annexations Of France. Germany.
Spain and England In the Pacific, or than
Japan's own recent annexation of Formosa
has interfered with it.
TIT second reason brought forward is
that annexation would "tend to endanger
the residential, commercial, and Industrial
rights OF Japanese subjects in Hawaii, Ss-
cured to them by treaty and by the Consti-
tuition and laws of that country" I'm
doubleday rights depending on the contin-
ued existence of treaties would be en-
dangered, because all treaties necessarily
lapse when one of the parties ceases
to be a sovereign, t~reaty-making power.
That. however. is q rule applying to
all annexations. and not a special hard.
ship imposed IN Japan. To argue that
this fact should be treated as moro Inn.

in m instructor of youth and q man who
stands before them as an exemplar. Mr..
Lows vocabulary 10 usually suggestive OF
the mercantile letter rather than. Of tho
taste, precision, and nicely In the choice Of
language which distinguish the writing
Of q man Of education. His use Of terms,
also, is sometimes incorrect. Situation,
for instance, he calls location" He talks
about the educational tender OF the col
lege;" "a greatly improved educational ten
DER" meaning, we suppose, the range Of its
instruction. but using a term suggestive
rather OF the slang Of trade than OF an at
mosphere Of refinement and scholarship.
Such a use of "tender" has no Justification
In good English usage, but smaoks Of tho
shop. and of vulgarlty.
These, however, are superficial blemishes,
mere defects Of polish, rs compared with
the tone he adopts toward his associates In
the college, and moro especially In speak
ing OF his predecessor, the late President
BARNARD. DIR. BARNARD was President
of Columbia College for twenty-five years,
and ho brought to 1t high distinction in
the world of scholarship and science. He
was q man of great breadth of knowl-
edge and notable scientific accuracy. The
development Of tho college into tho uni
versity It has now become was due
to him moro than to any other man associ.
ated with It throughout its long history.
When Mr.. Low succeeded to he'll Presidency
on the death Of DR.. BARNARD, he was .
young man, q merchant. So far as con.
Germs his qualifications Of scholarship and
general education, he was about on the level
of the usual college graduate. He had
passed from college to pursuits which were
other than intellectual, and probably his coll
legiate experience left no moro mark on his
mind than 1t does on graduates generally
who depart from college Us from o school
at which they have completed their purely
scholastic training for once and all. He did
not even use his undergraduate discipline as
q start toward further intellectual progress.
He was the son of o very rich merchant,
and was therefore FREQ to enter into any
sphere Of activity for which he had an In
clination. He chose trade, going into his
fathers mercantile business as q clerk.
Hence he is now without q liberal educa-
tion, as his paper 30 plainly indicates.
DR.. BARNARD gave his whole life to In.
tellectual pursuits and the study Of the
problems Of science, philosophy, and educa-
ton. His knowledge was extensive and
profound, and his mind was distinctively
Of the cast of the student and scholar,
philosophic, scientific, and %originative.
Mr.. Low has never been a student
at all since he learned his lessons as
ga -aaaergraduete. Of .Calpmbie-. AUD. he
has made no contribution to the worlds
stock Of ideas or knowledge. He has not had
even the intellectual training Of profess
sional study, He cannot be called an edu.
Gated man in the sense which We now use
the term as distinguishing thoroughly and
broadly trained and cultivated minds.

Bolton and Richelieu.

Tho resolution before tho Senate author
izing the President ito employ such means
and exert such power as may be necessary"
to secure indemnity from Spain for the
wrongs and injuries inflicted on AUGUST
cannot be called hasty.
The grievance complained of happened
long ago, and hitherto all attempts to OBJ
tain indemnity for the victims have been
futile. BOLTON and RICHBL1BU were Amer
lean citizens, fishermen by occupation. who,
through stress of weather, were compelled
to put into Santiago de Cuba in an open
boat. Ordinarily persons thus unfortunate
are welcomed and Hospitality treated; but
these strangers were at once suspected of
being spies or flibusters, or of being con-
nected in some way with the Instruction.
There was nothing about the appliances OF
poses, and they had asked to be directed to
the United States Consul; but they were
arrested and thrown into prison.
Only after emphatic remonstrances from
Jul Consul, and after being held from the
latter part of February to the early part
of May, were they released from confne.
ment at Santiago de Cuba; n mean
while they had been Ill, and had
suffered much. When at last they had
left the island. they fled a claim for $1O,.
900 indemnity each; but. although there is
no pretence that the slightest evidence Of
wrongdoing exists against them, Spain has
refused to discuss their claim for that sum
or for any part of 1t, and says that she con.
siders the transaction as closed.
Mr.. LODGE and the Senate Foreign Com.
mittee think 1t is about time to secure repa.
ration for some of the wrongs done to Amer
lean citizens in Cuba, and tho case of Boil
TON and R1oHELIEU seems to be q good one
to start with.

why Spain Has Failed in Cuba.

Mr.. THOMAS G. ALvoFp. Jr., who since
January of this year has 81 knt four months
m Cuba, and who has travel ed all over the
island, undertakes to explanO4e he July
number of the Forum why, with the i'm
mense military force at her disposal, Spain
has proved unable in two years and five
months to exterminate the re~volutionists.
who annot muster, all told, moro tina
10000 indiferently armed guerrilla SOL
diers. MI. ALvoRD denies that the
solution of the puzzle is to be looked
for in the defensible character of the
country and In the advantage pos
sessed by the insurgents in their familiarity
with its swamps, mountain passes and
natural strongholds. These advantages are
moro thai neutralized In his opinion by
their ignorance of the art of war. The
Cubans are brave, but refuse to learn the
most ordinary tactics. They have no in
fantry worthy Of the name; they prefer to
do all their fighting in the saddle and their
~favorite weapon Is not the carbine or revolt
yer. but the mnchete, a long, narrow, razor
like blade, blunt at the point, but sharp
ened ut both edges and hilted like a sword.
How has 1t happened, then, that thirty
thousand men, undrilled and indifferently
armed. have been able to gain almost un-
disputed possession of the two eastern
provinces, Santiago de Cuba and Puerto
Principe, while even in the other four
provinces they are practically the rulers
outside of the large cities7
A four months stay in Cuba, in the course
of which he talked with a multitude of
Spanish officers. from Generals to corpo-
rails, convinced Mr.. ALvoRD that it has not
been the purpose o: Gen. WEYLER to
put an end to the rebellion. We cannot, he
thinks, escape the alternative, either that
WEYLER Is destitute of the slightest mill
tary ability, or else that from sordid mo-
tives he has deliberately made 1t easy for
tho insurgents to keep up the strife. Atten-
ton Ia directed to the extraordinary manner
In which the Spanish force of 235. OOOmen Is
distributed. From the outset the novel
plan was adopted of building small forts
all over the island, a plan which put the
Spanish forces In the position of awaiting
attack instead of pursuing the enemy. 1t
seems that the number of these forts Is
astonishing, and, as the defenders never
leave them. 1t is computed that at least 1bO,-
600 of WEYLER's force of 235. 900 are thus
prevented from taking an active part In
the campaigns. Then again, an esti-
mate made last April. from the most
Trustworthy figures then obtainable in

Water for Indian Farmers.

About 5000 Of our Indian wards live for
out on the desert plains of southwestern
Arizona, on the Gu River Reservation
The river there b NNAaaiar ba6aIA the
mighty cations 1T dug among the noun
tains. and flows through the middle of the,
long, narrow reservation on its way to the
Colorado. These Indians, for many genera
tions, have lived where they are to-day, and
their reservation Is limited by the area of
the desert they have turned into the finest
Of wheat and corn fields, hay meadows, and
gardens. by means of irrigation canals,
many of them miles in length, and some of
them, Major POWELL says, antedating tho
Columbian epoch. The Indians are now in
trouble from a very unusual cause, and
they deserve sympathy and relief in their
present adversely.
n' question are the Pimas
ma inc Maricopas. The valley of their
river, below the reservation, is strewn with
ruins that are relics Of the ancient culture
of their forefathers. They nave always
been self-supporting. and always the friends
of the whites. The pioneers who took the
southern route to California found their
homo . friendly oasis, a resting place in
the desert. These tribes Joined the emf
grants, too, in rcpelling the Apaches, who
were the scourge of the Southwest long
before the Government took them in hand,
and many a ton Of hay and hundred weight
Of grain have gone from the ella River
Reservation to the troopers and their horses
while posted around San Carlos trying to
keep the Apaches in bounds.
A few years ago many white settlers In
Arizona were impressed suddenly with the
Idea that II the Pima and the Maricopa
Indians could thrive by agriculture In the
ella Valley they themselves might also
make homes In that district. The Land
Office encouraged them in this view, and
lands were allotted to them along the
river above the reservation. They dug IT.
rigation canals, and now their part of
the valley Is beautiful with yerdure. But
they have tapped the source of life of
the reservation, for they have diverted to
their own purposes almos the entire water
supply of the poor Indians below. The In.
dian fields have lapsed into desert again,
and these people, among the thriftiest
aborigines of our country, are now reduced
almost to the condition of paupers and are
dependent upon rations issued by the Gov.
ernment to keep them alive. The Indian
Bureau, encouraged by their industry and
f~riendliness, had been making special eff,
forts to educate them and improve their
condition. whilo another bureau has ruined
them by its successful efforts to reclaim the
upper part of the valley,
