A GOOD TRADE.

We believe the general public win enc
dorse the action Of the City Council on
Tuesday evening, making an exchange
with the Board Of Education Of the lot
on the corner OF State aud North Tenn
ple streets. for property on Fourth
South between State and Second East
ard on the corner Of First North and
Fourth West streets.
The purpose Of the trade is to enable
the Board Of Education 90 build a
school house. on a spot which win ac-
commodate a district now unsupp.ed
with school facilities, except by sending
children 20 q great distance east or
northwest. This project has been for a
long time IN contemplation. The only
difficulty In the way was the reluctance
OF the city authorities 10 give the school
board an advantage In the trade. which
looked like getting the small end %
the bargain They were on the lookout
Tor the city's property interests.
As the cost Of moving buildings and
effects win be considerable, a proposl-
tion was made TO divide the expense be-
tween the city and the school board.
This. however, did not prevail, although
1t had on element o. fairness. But, after
all, the burden In either case VIII have
10 be borne by the taxpayers, and the
benefits viii flow to the public, SO, on
the whole, the exchange as 1t stands,
Is a good settlement Of the question
Considering the probability Of a short
age IN the school funds Tor the coming
FISCAL year as It occurs during the pres
ent. there would have been no real help
20 the taxpayers, In making the Board
Of Education meet any OF the expense
involved 10 the exchange The school
house to be built Is an actual public
necessity. and the cost will have 20
come from the public pocket. II would
do no good to hamper the school board
with further expenditures.
The educational facilities and the gem
eral management OF school affairs In
this city, are a source Of pride and sat
lstaction to our citizens. and we are
pleased TO see the prospect now opened
for sim further Advancement IN this
direction Let the ground be cleared
and the building be erected as soon as
possible. We congratulate the Board Of
Education on its success IN this ar
rangement.

A GREAT CRISIS COMING.

COLONIZATION OF TROPICS.


The question whether the tropics can
be successfully colonized By the white
races Is one OF great interest TO the rul-
ing nations Of the world But opinions
differ. It ia maintained By some that
the evil effects Of hot climates are be-
ing rapidly overcome by science, ana
that IN another quarter Of a century
farmers win be able 10 cultivate the
tropics with less danger than they at
first encountered in the valleys OF CALI
fornia.

There can be no question as TO the
possibility Of people from the temperate
zones living comfortably I'm the tropics,
II they have an abundance of time TO
give to their personal comfort But
without that they are liable TO the dis
eases peculiar 20 the hot climate. The
experience gained SO FAR In nearly every
tropical country points 10 this that
while 81 is perfectly practicable TO
transplant civilization TO such countries,
by means Of a picked advance guard,
when # comes TO genuine colonization

far from the conditions 20 which the
colonists have been accustomed. Much
OF the success Of the settlement OF

The logical conclusion Is tins, that
