1t is not surprising that the govern
ment OF Colombia has made demands
In excess Of what our government, in
framing the treaty with that country,
deemed to be fair and reasonable. We
have heretofore pointed out that this
was a difficulty to be expected. Colon
bia, believing that the United States
had conclusively decided to purchase the
property of the Panama Canal company
and construct the canal, has simply de-
termined to exact the most favorable
conditions for herself, and it is not prob
able that she will recede from these
unless convinced that the United States
may abandon the Panama route and
enter into negotiations for the Nicaragua
route, as the president is authorized to
do by the Spooner law.
1t appears that Colombia has notified
u government that the proposed COM
p%ensation for the land to be acquired is
not satisfactory and that the amount
must be considerably increased, the
rental price to begin at ono Further
more, the territory which our govern
ment desires canno be secured In per
petuity, as provided In the Spooner law,
but can be granted for not to exceed
one hundred years, with stipulations for
renewal. 1t is very doubtful If this will
be acceptable to congress, and indeed 1t
is pretty safe to say that it will not be
II a better proposition in regard to ter
ritory can be obtained from Nicaragua

We remarked a few days ago that the
fact that the new Panama Canal COM
pany could give a valid title to it's prop
erty did not remove the only obstacle
to the canal negotiations and the latest
advices fully confirm this view.

GIVE THE INDIAN a CHANCE.

The United States government could
do nothing better for the welfare Of the
Indians than to persevere in and enlarge
the effort to enable them to render them
selves self-supporting, Not to discuss
the many utilities and anomalies OF our
policy for a century and more in dealing
with them, it is sufficient to. say that
nothing could have been worse, more
demoralizing and more fatal to the In
dams themselves than the system OF
maintaining them in idleness by govern
ment supplies of food, clothing, cash,
etc, and herding them In large bands
under strict surveillance and conditions
which absolutely deprived them of the
means of the employment and industrial
occupation necessary to earning a liveli-
hood. The inevitable result has hap
pened. Placed under similar circum-
stances and foreclosed from the oppor-
tunity Of s~elf-support, the strongest race
on earth would infallibly degenerate,
would lose self-reliance and individual
initiative.
Precisely the reverse policy should
have been adopted by the government.
Every effort should have been made to
AFFORD the Indian opportunities for earn
ing his W living, for developing in
dustrial capacity and for working out
his own salvation like other men. 1t is
gratifying to be assured that the efforts
lately made by the Indian bureau in this
direction have been In high degree sue
c~essful, and that they disprove the old
contention that the red man absolutely
would not work except by compulsion,
and that IL compelled he could not sur
yive. Where the Interior department
has offered them the alternative OF being
dropped from the ration rolls and going
to work for wages for the government
building roads, reservoirs and the like,
the Sioux Indians at the Pine Ridge
agency responded with alacrity and &C
quilted themselves well. 1t was purely
voluntary on their part. The govern
ment did nothing but afford the ppor-
tunity 10 work. and the Indians, al
though immemorIally subjected to the
Generalization Of dependency, manfully
accepted and improved IL.
II a 1.-THE of the expense and pains that
have been incurred by the government
TO maintain the Indian in Incidence had
been persistently devoted 10 provide him
with ample chance 10 work and to de
velOp in him the ambition and capacity
OF industrial independence, it would
have been incomparably better both for
him and for the government. The ma
jority OF the Indians before now would
have made themselves self-sustaining
and would have been nan marches
more advanced o n the road Of progress.

DESTRUCTION I'm NIoBr SCHOOLS.


Night schools have become an impor-
tant adjunct of the common school in
all the large population centers. They
supply a pressing demand for the edu-
cation of bread winners who have been
either deprived Of the opportunity of
ties or by the lack Of opportunity to ac-
quaint themselves with the rudiments of
the English language. The prevailing
opinion that any ordinary teacher is
competent to supply the wants OF pupils
that attend the night school is
The night schools require more capable
teachers than the day schools. Children
attending the day schools have been pre-
pared for grade work. They are aceus'
toned to methods of study. Grading is
practically impossible In the night
school. where students must be treated
individually and greater skill Is essen
tial in teaching than is necessary In the
graded day school classes.
Pupils in the night school are for the
most part young men and women en-
gagged in arduous employment in the
daytime and fairly tired out before they
enter the school. Frequently the night
school pupil, who Graves an education,
is compelled to deprive himself Of needed
rest and recreation. Under such cOn-
ditions he cannot be expected to digest
and absorb instruction like the boy or
girl entering school bright and alert
after refreshing rest or from exhilerat-
ing play.
A large proportion Of the pupils in the
night school are. moreover. OF foreign
I birth and only partially familiar with
the English language. They, therefore,
require more expert teaching than the
pupils In the day school A great ma
jority Of the day school pupils receive
continuous training in the schools for
years until they reach the high school
grade. The night school pupils at best
can only AFFORD TO pursue their studies
a few weeks during the winter. Hence
1t becomes OF the utmost Importance to
them tina the instruction afforded should
be directed in the channels that will
supply their wants in the shortest pos
sible time.
The consensus OF opinion Of educators
