LIBERAL OFFER TO AeulNALpo
Remarkable Terms which tho Chief of
the Tagala Refused.

INV AhNAAhNNt
New York, Sept. IS.-A special to
the World from Ithaca, N. Y, says:
Your correspondent is able TO say on
authority that the Schurman peace
commission offered every inducement
short of absolute self government TO
Aguinaldo and his followers. Agui.
naldo was promised as the price for the
restoration of peace in the Tagal tribe
bonus Of more than 1000 a year
while the Tagals remained peaceful.
He was told that he could choose men
from his own tribe for the minor mu-
nicipal offices. The commission won't
so far as to promise Aguinaldo the
moral support OF the United States gov
eInment, if such were needed, TO make
lis leadership Of the Tagals thoroughly
secure.
With all these inducements, tempt
ing as they must have been. Aguinal-
do, as the recognized head OF the insur-
gent movement, declined to yield. He
insisted upon immediate self-govern-
ment, and as his insistance was 80 firm
as to make an agreement impossible,
the American commissioners ceased n
gotiations.
President Schurman was frank
telling your correspondent day or
ago that he favored giving to tho various
tribes the largest possible measure of
home rule at the earliest moment. He
thought the several tribes could admin
lister their local affairs. elect their
municipal officers, establish courts and
penal institutions, ETC., but did not
believe IL possible to allow the natives
to participate in the general govern
ment.
"How could they govern the islands,
in view OF the hetrog4nity and multi
plicity Of the tribes?" he added.

-BOers Mean to Fight.
London, Sept. l9.-The reply of the
Transvaal to Mr.. Chamberlain's latest
note is said to cover nine pages. 1t is
eminently of the negative and incon-
elusive" character, which Mr.. Cham
berlain declared would compel the i'm.
perial government to consider the situ-
alton afresh. 1t practically repudiates
suzerainty, reverts to the seven-year
franchise. and declines to give equality
to the Dutch and English languages in
the volksraad. In short. it is politely
negative and defiant. The full text
may not be available for day or two,
but 1t will not change the aspect Of
affairs. The cabinet will probably
meet on Wednesday or Thursday to
consider the next step.
1t is supposed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaa is an
appeal to the powers, begging them to
recommend arbitration ON the lines OF
the conference at The Hague.

Must the Canteen Go?

In securing the adoption of a clause
In the army reorganization BILL which
has just passed the house of repre-
sentatives. abolishing post and camp
canteens. it Is doubtful whether the
w. c. T. U. has accomplished the end
which It sought. The sale of intox-
icating liquors has always been pro-
hibited in canteens, but that has never
interfered with the sale of beer. Beer
has always been declared by army of
ficials a Notwithstanding beverage, and
efforts to prevent its sale to soldiers
have been futile. 1t remains to be seen
what construction will now be placed
upon it.
No officer or soldier has ever been
allowed to preside over a canteen.
though soldiers have always maintain
ed them and profited by them. Can
teens are cooperative establishments.
supported by the soldiers exclusively,
who also share in the profits, and they
have always been run by men con-
nected with the posts. The soldiers
usually select one of their own number
to look after the canteen. and he re-
ceives a discharge from the service In
order that technicalities may be COM
piled with, and the establishment may
be managed by a civilian. AS post
tore-keeper he is able to purchase sup

plies at wholesale rates and to sell
them at a minimum profit. This ap
plies not only to beer. but to articles
of food. dry goods. athletic outfits and
other things required by soldiers. In
this way the men are able to obtain
for little money many more comforts
than they otherwise would enjoy.
The w. c. r. U. looks upon the can
teen as an institution exerting an evil
influence over soldiers. but experience
shows that this view is erroneous. The
canteen has done much to suppress dis
reputable resorts in the vicinity of
army posts. for 1t has provided the
soldiers with place of recreation
where they may meet and engage in
harmless amusements without having
to go beyond the limits of the reserva
tions. 1t is the testimony of army Of
flcers that 1t is easy to keep the men
under control in canteens. while it is
impossible to do so when they go out
side the reservations. for they are I'M
der the direct control of their COM
handing officers and amenable to army
regulations. The canteen steward is
obliged to restrain the Incorporate de-
sires of the soldiers and is forbidden
to sell beer to any man whose condi-
ton indicates that he has had enough.
Neglect to maintain order and dis
cipline In a canteen means the loss by
the steward Of his position. So the
man who has charge of a canteen is
directly interested in running his es
tablishment on temperance lines. Prac
teal army men are unanimously in
favor of retaining the canteen.

Relief Legislation for Our Schools.

The Ramsey county delegation is
unanimously in favor of an increased
levy of a mill and a half for the public
schools fund. No self-respecting citizen
can be opposed to any proposition to
improve our public schools There be-
ing entire unanimity of opinion as to
the need of school improvements and a
moderate increase in current ex-
penSes-nO mOssback has entered an
objection, so far as we know, unless
McCardy Is to be considered as such
nothing now remains but to push a re-
lief measure as rapidly through the
legislature as is possible
1t often happens that the more haste
about any matter, the less speed 1t
appears to be conceded that the city is
so tangled by an absurd charter as to
make it next to impossible to secure
relief when relief Of any kind is abso-
lutely necessary. That being the case,
the Ramsey county delegation is obli-
gated to give strict attention to the
form of proposed legislation for st.
Paul, as well as to it's substance If
there is doubt about the school bill or
any other public measure being I'M
constitutional, then ought there to be
settlement Of the question forthwith.
If general legislation will point a way
cut of the tangle, then let it be gen.
eral legislation No pride of opinion
on these two points should be tolerated.
What the parents and teachers of St.
Paul want is relief. What the Ram
sey county delegation must furnish. not
only as an evidence of Intelligence. but
also as a guarantee of good faith, is
legislation that will hold water" if
its integrity Is ever questioned.

Charles Dickens on Child Culture.

James l.. Hughes, inspector of the
Toronto public schools, sets forth in
the current number of the Century
what Charles Dickens did for child
hood. ''The Froebel of England" he
calls him. and proves the appropriate
ness Of the sobriquet.
While no man, at the head Of a
school system, can now, command re-
sEect for himself as an educator who
does not fully appreciate and intelli-
gently foster the kindergarten de-
partments Of the public schools. if
was another matter to advocate their
maintenance a. half century ago when
Dickens wrote in Household Words"
There would be fewer sullen. QUAR-
relsome, dull-witted men and women
Ii there were fewer children starved or
fed improperly in heart and brain. To
improve society-to make men and
women better-it is requisite to begin
quite at the beginning, and to secure
Tor them wholesome education dur
Ing infancy and childhood"
To the Gradgrinds everywhere
says Mr.. Hughes, land to the large
class who object to What they call the
educational frills for children of the
working classes in order to reduce
their taxes. Dickens gave direct re-
ply: 'Ctilitarian Gradgrinds. skeletons

tales and poetical myths for children
once said: Bring me yonder baby

Dickens exposed the wonder-lsilline-

which prevailed at that time. and has
not entirely vanished yet for the "won-
