THE BARREN ISLAND PROBLEM

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial OF December H. 1905. dealing
with the Barren Island nuisance was timely. and
dealt quite comprehensively with the subject from
the sanitary standpoint. Il failed. however. 70

do not write you for the purpose OF recommend
ing some other process or system that might turn

pose OF drawing your attention TO what consider
TO be the only feasible solution and the only one
worthy Of adoption by the greater city Of New
York.
Barren Island has for years been famous for
everything disgusting sight and smell although
situated IN one Of the most beautiful bays on the
Eastern sea board.
Jamaica Bay is the natural outing spot for hun
dreds of thousands OF our toiline citizens place
where they can boat fish swim and breathe the
ri:re air they are so much IN need OF.
II Is not for the health departments OF STATE or
city 20 discuss further this problem as they nave
utterly failed In absting the nuisance Inc re-
They have an opportunity presented 10 them SUCH
as has never before presented Itself Inc city -
site could be selected than Barren Island, situated
within a short distance from the centre o.. oIf

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The undersigned. constan. reader Of your
daily paper. is much gratfed by the fairness with
which you treat the race problem confronting our
Southern people. In your Sunday issue there is
an account Of a negro school in South Carolina.
and statement in this strikes directly at the
root OF the troubles: Education with the
negro means living without work In the lam

This writer asserts and Is prepared to prove. that

any business. industrial. commercial or profess

work Of hand or brain. hence the only occupations
he takes 70 preaching and politics; T. e. talking.
not working. All preaching 70 negroes IS done by
men Of their own race. and II is significant fact
that while the aggressive negro (and there are not
many 20 their credit be Il said will try 20 force
himself into the white mans hotel theatre, rail-,

rule the whites. and in this he can never succeed
The Anglo-Saxon has submitted TO no otner race
since the days Of Caesar. least Of all would he come
shown no ability TO rule himself in his own land.
and in Hayti and Santo Domingo which have
been abandoned the negro and the hybrid what
is the result? A retrograde course into voudooism
and barbarism When. II ever. he shall gain con-
must be similar result: the better class OF resi-
dents would migrate. and the remainder would go
down IN darkest African condition.
In New-York and Massachusetts, the proportion
Of negroes is not per cent Of the population
In South Carolina. Mississippi and Louisiana II is
over 30 per cent. hence IL Is very easy 10 see that
a widely different is required In dealing with
this class OF population In the several localities

RAGUAN WATERWAY UNDER

London Dec. 23.-There seems TO be little
doubt that Great Britain will agree TO abrogate
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The temper Of the
Cabine; and public opinion, which largely in
fuences the Governments policy, points TO such
action though no definite understanding with
the United States has yet been reached Great
Britain desires that the Nicaragua Canal shall
he constructed. and is willing that the United
States should control II II the United States
guarantees It's neutrality and safeguards British
interests.
The reports from Washington that the British
Ambassador there. Sir Julian Pauncefote has
been instructed 10 negotiate the abrogation Of
the treaty are incorrect although II is likely he
will soon receive instructions 10 that effect.
