under which plan through electric trains would be
run from Park Row, New-York City without any
change OF cars at the Brooklyn end OF the Bridge
This plan Will not only add very greatly to the
comfort and convenience OF the patrons Of the ee-

AID FOR ATLANTA UNIVERSITY

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: So much favorable comment has recently
been made in the public press concerning the COL
legiate normal Industrial and sociological work Of
Atlanta University for the negro that some peo-
pie may have acquired the impression that this
work was amply endowed On the contrary. its
endowment funds near 10 nothing as 10 be
scarcely worth mentioning. The students them
selves bear about one-fourth Of the current ex-
pcnse Of the institution and with the addition OF
a small revenue from funds and miscellaneous
sources about one-thlrd Of the needed Income Is
assured. For the other two-thirds OF its revenue
the university IL dependent on the annual dona-
tions Of KS friends. the amount thus required this
year being about s26OD0. or this amount about
5000 still remains TO be secured. and failure 10

Last winter a newly found friend. desiring 10

from the excessive burden of money raising now

persons each 10 contribute a like amount for two

aysr,eS some s Of our debt would be paid OF our
overworked teachers could be relieved OF the extra
burden thrown upon them year ago by the re-
duction OF the teaching force for reasons of econ
omy, and their president would be enabled 10 give
them and their work more OF his personal atten-
tton than has recently been possible. For the i'm
mediate welfare and growth OF the institution
and on these It's future in no small degree de-
pends-this relief fund Of $4,000 year for two

THE SCARCITY OF DOMESTIC SERVANTS.

Sir: There is much talk about the difficulty OF
getting good help In the house. II is indirectly
much the fault OF the mistress herself. Women
CAD about on bicycles. and attend conventions and
concerts and leave their household affairs TO tho
management OF the imported article. Girls OF the
family not brought up by their mothers ana
aunts 10 do homework. and, OF course. others
must be employed. and that Increases the demand
That Is what makes the scarcity and increases
the price of servants. Surprising each family in
the city OF New-York who employs servant girls
should dispense with of the three or four that
they now employ. Would not that relieve the
labor market greatly Instead Of having a nurse
and a chambermaid and a seamstress and gov
erness and a laundress and waitress supposins
the mistress OF the house should be the governess
and seamstress, and the daughters should make
their own beds and do the otner work that Is re-
quired In that department. and once IN while sew
a button their fathers or brothers coat. Would
that not make a great difference In the scarcity OK

The money heretofore expended seems
to have been used with discretion and

without the needed books of reference
to which teachers and scholars should
have easy access. The present So
called library of the normal is prob
ably surpassed in the number and
value of its books by many private
library in Arizona.
The statement of the committee of
examination that foreign languages,
living and dead, find no place in the
normal curriculum will probably evoke
criticism-perhaps was given out with
an intention to do so. Many teachers
hold that Latin should have a place in
every normal. 1t would be 4 feather in
Arizona's educational cap if she could
prepare her normal students to teach
that language, which is spoken by 50
many of her citizens and which, next
to the English, is of more value to a
young American citizen than any other
language.
1t is gratifying to learn that the gen.
tlemen of the visiting committee find
so much to praise and so little to criti-
cize in the equipment and management
of the normal. 1t is an institution Of
which the territory may be justly
proud, and in whose further equipment
every citizen should feel an interest.

Referring to the campaign in Ne
braska and the part Colonel Bryan
took in it the Omaha
HIS Bee brings up some
ARGUMENTS things that prove
| INCONSISTENT his course to be
very contradictory.
The points referred to are matters of
record. The Bee recounts the resigna-
ton of Colonel Bryan from the army to
go to Washington to lobby for the rati-
fication of the peace treaty, which
would not have secured the cOnstitu-
tional majority in the senate except for
Senator Aliens vote. cast for it under
Bryan's influence. That treaty an
nexed the Philippines to the United
States and placed the sovereignty I'M
der the stars and stripes, entailing on
the president the duty to maintain the
authority and supremacy of the flag in
those islands. If the war to suppress
the Filipino instruction could have
been avoided, did not Colonel Bryan
and the Bryanite senators who took
his advice make it necessary and are
they not justly chargeable for It? the
Bee then asks.
Colonel Bryan now advocates the
establishment of an American pro-
tectorate in the islands instead of ex-
ercising complete sovereignty. Con-
tinuing the argument the Bee asks
would not an American protectorate
impose upon the United States the
duty of protecting life and property,
especially of citizens of foreign nations
residing there and be maintaining
peace and order just the same as if it
exercised the sovereignty itself? Would
it not require just as large an army to
establish and uphold the responsible
ties of a protectorate as now to sup
press insurrection and maintain order
after it's suppression? The inconsist-
encies developed in Colonel Bryan's
course since the ratification of the
peace treaty with Spain relieve his ar
guments of logic and force with the
people.
