Teachers Pensions.

That there should be some opposi-
ton to the idea of granting pension to
our common school teachers is quite
natural.
But, if u person has spent the best
years of his life in the school-room
and the salary is inadequate to lay up
anything ''for rainy day." in spite
of the strictest economy, is it unfair
to ask for aid?
And, if pensioning our educational
veterans would better the condition of
our common schools, what wrong is
there in so doing?
Minnesota is now forty years old as
a state, and some of her teachers have
borne the brunt of pioneer life in the
school-room, having been served as
educational footballs by public opin-
ion with chaos as the general result.
There has been tendency to hire
cheap help, to overcrowd the studies
and pass away time so that our school
children hardly know what to do.
Theory and practice have not gone
hand in hand, and slip-shod work has
run rampant until many are actually
getting ready to curse the whole sys.
tenn of education.
But, so long as we cater to new
tangled ideas and put experience at a
discount, SO long shall we be the
looser-we are indeed getting cheap
work.
The proposition $4,000 may seem
rather steep; but: we are pensioning
our soldiers to the extent Of $145, 000,.
600 annually-an average of over
So, 600, 900 for each state; and the "pro.
posed bill'' is not an unreasonable
one, although it may seem SO at first
glance. And, showing how to live is
really better than showing how to kill
The points raised by our local pap
ers seem we'll taken, and I am glad be-
cause our progressive press is in favor
of the measure.
Let the good work go on.

Pensi0ning Teachers.
Raymond, Minn., Dec. 18th, 80

Raymond, MIMI, Dec. 18th, '9S.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: you
will find an article which [ clipped
from the Argus, to pension teachers,
and will you allow me the same space
in your paper as they do their readers.
For Several years there has been
more or less agitation among school
teachers and those interested in them
towards securing pensions from the
state for those who have served long
and we'll. The matter is important
to the people and we presume that OBJ
jectiOns will be made from the begin
ming. But, why should teachers be
pensioned? We give but two reasons:
LIST, because they are not paid in pro-
portion to the salaries usually &C.
corded other professions requiring no
more scholastic preparations. End,
because the tendency is to relegate the
older teachers to the rear to give way
to the younger men and women.
Think over these reasons and if YOU
do not agree with the editor, give your
reasons. The columns Of the Argus
are open at all times for the discus
sion of topics of general or special
Importance to it's readers.
To pension teachers is wrong,
think. They give only two reasons
why they should be pensioned: LIST,
because they are not paid in proper
ton to the salaries usually accorded
other professions requiring no more
scholastic preparations. End, because
the tendency is to relegate the older
teachers to the rear to give way to the
younger men and women.
Well now I think that is no reason
why teachers should be pensioned.
II a teacher agrees to work for dis
trict for q certain sum OF money, then
I think the state should not be called
! upon to pension them, because they
did not get as much as they would
like to have had.
Further on it tells about copy be-
ing circulated at Willmar for names
to petition the approaching legisla:
ture. It would be much fairer for
| the voters to vote on such question,
land it would be more wise to make i,
| lawful to assess parents about S. for

ConccnIing the situation.

Positive news by cable direct from Ma
Mia need not be expected by the public
for some time to come, unless the War
Department should change its present
policy. which is to maintain strict CEN
sorship over Philippine dispatches 1t is
announced that Otis has been instructed to
apply the press snuffer relentlessly. "and
to be consistent" which we take to mean
that. in future. he is not to let the real
facts of the situation leak out, as he did
a short time ago, when he saw that it was
the only way to let the country know the
terrible need of troops in Luzon. and that
for important political reasons the Ad-
ministration did not intend to send him
any, but would let him wear himself out
hopelessly against superior numbers, the
climate, and Mr.. McKinley's doddering
civilian meddlers. He has been carefully
warned not to repeat this breach of AL
gerian discipline, and, being an obedient
soldier. OF course he will try to comply
with his orders. But that will not serve
the turn of the Administration beyond
keeping back current news from the Amer
ican press two or three days. The ombar-
go, indeed, only whets the appetite of
newspaper enterprise, and suggests con-
ditions such as have been asserted by Ma
Mia correspondents without exception and
persistently denied by our war authorities
Instead of the interesting cable messages
we have been in the habit of receiving
daily and nightly straight from the scene
OF strife, our representatives will now
be obliged TO send their censorable matter
by way of Hongkong and may have to be
clever even TO DO that without getting
into trouble. But if Mr.. Alger and General
Corbin think the news itself can be bot
tied and corlled securely at the military
censor's Office in Manila they are more
Innocent in that matter than We have ever
suspected them Of being in any other.
II is noteworthy that every time a train
ed military officer in. or recently from, the
Philippines gets a chance TO express his
private opinion about affairs in that part
Of the world. he corroborates what The
Times mas NIL along asserted the real con-
hitions to be. 1t is reported that letter.

latter would offer the basis of an arrange
ment which would amount to equity to the
British residents of the Republic, who rep
resent two-thirds of the country's indus
trial development, and pay nearly that pro-
portion of its revenues. but who are de-
barred from the slightest voice in its gov
ernment. In fact, it may be said that the
people of the johannesburg district do
most toward supporting the Government.
while they are regarded and treated as out
landers. If not outlaws and public enemies.
They have frequently petitioned the Boer
and the British Government for a redress
of their grievances. They have been ham
pered and placed in the wrong by the op-
erauons of adventurers like Jameson. and
their Dutch masters have taken due ad-
vantage of such episodes: but their case
is a good one and their home authorities
cannot and will not ignore it.
Much had been hoped from the Bloem-
fontein conference. 1t has gone up in
smoke. President Kruger, it is said. was
willing to grant concessions, but only on
the basis of an international arbitration
OF the questions at issue between his coun-
try and England. OF course that could
not be granted by paramount power to
one under its protectorate, and so the
matter stands in South Africa as it does
in other parts of the world. Anglo Saxon
civilization and progress is brought to a
standstill, unless senseless distractions
can be removed. In view of it all the
British Government is calm and inclined
to diplomacy rather than force, but it is
evident that force will have TO be used,
or that the Beers viii recede from their
present position. which they are not likely
to do Then there will be war in South
Africa and the bold Dutch pioneers will
be suppressed. But it will be pretty
fight, as those people who remember
Rorkes Drift will well remember.

Our Differences with England.

1t is possible. now that direct negotia-
tions are proceeding between the United
States and the British Foreign Office, that
the Alaskan boundary question may be set
tied in accordance with the equities of the
case and the unquestionable rights of this
country. Our Ambassador at the Court of
St. James is an unusually able and learn
ed international lawyer while for once in
way we have in our Secretary of State
a sturdy American, who thoroughly under
stands his country's position and inter-
ests, and is not in the least danger of hav-
ing the wool pulled over his eyes, as has
been the case with some of his bucoIic
predecessors.
Publication of the protocol of the last
days session OF the British American Joint
High Commission sheds additional light on
the impracticability of the Canadians. in
their insistence that the two-penny poiiti-
cal interests of colonial party in power
should be paramount to considerations of
vital Importance to the relations of two
of the worlds greatest nations. 1t ap-
pears that all the questions at issue before
the Commission, that of the boundary ex-
cepted, were as good as settled, and that
the Imperial and American Commissioners
were on the point OF an amicable arrange
ment with regard to Alaska when the Ca
nadians suddenly conceived the idea that
any proposed solution not involving the
maximum of their baseless and ridiculous
demands might give the Conservative party
in the Dominion an advantage, and so they
promptly kicked over the traces and forced
an indefinite adjournment without action.
The lesson of the High Joint Commis-
sion will hardly be lost on our Govern
ment The fact that we ever permitted
ourselves to go into the commission busi-
ness with England, at the same time al
lowing one of its dependencies to take part
as a distinct sovereignty, is merely due to
the other fact that the Secretaryship of
State in Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet was va
cant from the time of his Inauguration un-
til the Hon. John Hay was appointed TO
the place. We are not likely, to repeat the
mistake In like circumstances, if we were
to propose to Lord Salisbury commits
sion to which the State of Ohio should be
a distinct party, on account OF some inter-
est that subsovereignty might claim in
question involving our lake defences, we
should be laughed at. Equally, hereafter,
when Great Britain has occasion to nego-
tiate with us, it is to be hoped that she
will be asked to keep her colonies out of
the matter, reach an agreement with US
directly, and enforce it herself upon her
subordinate communities. Experience has
taught us that the more courteous consid-
Grafton we extend to Canada the less de-
cent treatment we get in return, and there
should be an end to these attempts at
pseudo diplomatic relations at once and
for all time
