THE EUREKA PUEBLO SCHOOL.

Principal w. L. Butler Of the Eureka
public school gives the SENTINEL the fol-
lowing regarding the condition and work
now being done in The school:
The third week in our school term finds
the work well under way and . most
gratifying interest on the part Of the
pupils. At present the pupils and teach
ers In the High School are very much
interested 10 making the rooms more at
t~rsctive and giving them Q "home-like" sp-
pearance. believing that these attractive
rooms will play no little part 10 giving our
young people right ideals and lofty sspira-
tions.
1t lie an accepted fact that . great many
young people leave their homes before
reaching maturity. simply because their
homes are unattractive and afford them no
amusement whatever. 1t Is also q fact
worthy Of note that the home that fur.
nishes its children with smusements and
takes On active interest in their sports and
work, is the home that wields the greatest
influence in the development of q true man
or woman and in fitting them for their right
positions in life. With this idea in view,
the pupils and tesohers are making this
effort to beautify their rooms. .ig'

nate . copy Of their papers to the library,
so that the pupils may get in touch with
the resources and affairs Of the State and

gently and faithfully when they come TO
exercise the duties of citizenship. In sddi.
ton to this . number Of magazines and peri
odiosls have been subscribed for. thus keep.
ing in touch with the latest scientific and
industrial developments. which are seem.
ingly in their i%ncipienoy.
In order to advance the interests Of The

manner rather than go before . convention.

THE A CANAL.

AS announced in yesterdays papers,,
the isthmian canal bill has finally pass
ed both branches of congress and now
goes to the president for his signature.
The president, of course, will sign the
bill, as he favored the Panama route
in preference to the Nicaraguan
scheme.
The bill as passed provides that the
president shall pay $40, 600. 900 to the
Panama Canal Company after salts
flying himself that a good title can be
secured to it's franchise and holding on
the isthmus. AS the president favored
this plan there is little doubt that ne
will make the purchase.
Thehe is difference of opinion
among the congressman and senators
who have investigated the status of
the Panam Canal Company as to
whether a good title can be secured
from it by our government Senator
Morgan. who made such a valiant
fight for the Hepburn bill. which pre-
vided for constructing the Nicaraguan
canal. is of the opinion that such title
can not be secured. and he still thinks
the canal. whenever built, will be
through Nicaragua and Costa RIGA.
His firm belief that our government
cannot secure the lamar Canal COM
pany's property was n Of the causes
which influenced him in yielding to the
advocates of the Spooner bill and cast
ing his vote for it rather than oppose
it when he found a majority of the
senators favored it. Senator Morgan's
first desire is for an isthmian canal: if
he cannot get the route he considers
the best, he is willing to take h he
others think best, believing that in the
end his views will be found to be cor
rect. .
As matters now stand we are a long
ways off from the contamination
OF the scheme for a canal con-

RESULTS OF THE COAL MINERS
STRIKE.

From manufacturing points in all
sections of the country come complaints
of shortness of the coal supply. Many
declare that they will soon have to
close down if the mines do not soon re-
sumo operations. This would throw
thousands of men, women and children
out of employment. There would be
Ilaborers forced into unwilling idleness
lin nearly every section of the country
which depends OF the Pennsylvania
and Virginia coal mines for fuel.
1t is a duty which the coal operators
lowe to themselves and to the public
that they should prevent there being a
coal famine. 1t is encumbent on them
to supply these industrial concerns with
fuel so they can keep their machinery
going n their employees occupied.
The strike of the coal miners is no ex-
lcuse for the non-delivery of this coal.
If the coal operators are prevented from
doing so by reason of the strike then it
is their duty to concede to the demands
of the union men and agree to arbitra-
ton of the matters in dispute between
them. The only point at issue is the
arbitration question. The miners say
they have certain grievances and ask
for arbitration on them The mine
owners deny that there are any causes
of complaint and refuse to leave the
Question to arbitrators to settle. Would
they agree to this the miners would re-
turn to work pending consideration by
the arbitrators and that would put an
end to the cry of scarcity of coal by
the cotton factories and all other indus
trial plants in this intire section
The striking miners recognized the
gravity of the situation and put their
desire to refer all matters in dispute to
arbitration upon the ground of their
consciousness of the great response
bility resting upon us and the danger
Threatening our commercial supreme
cy."
The coal operators responsibility re-
~garding the same matter is equally as
lplain; but they either do not see it or
do not heed it; anyhow, they refuse to
regard it and theirs is he responsibility
for the near approach to a coal famine
which would be so disastrous to thou
Isands of people.

Bossism and ring-rule by the Ar
kansas republicans. 1t seems, was car
Iried too far for the masses Of the party
lin that state and they have kicked out
lof the party traces. The kickers, after
protesting against boss rule. have put
up a candidate for governor. Now the
regulars have either got to surrender or
have two tickets in the field.
This split in the republican party is
not needed by the democrats of Ar
kansas in the matter of electing their
Estate ticket of congressman for every
district is now represented by n demo-
crat. elected by a big majority, hut it is
Iof interest and Importance to the demo-
lcrats of the country generally IS show
ling schism in the republican party. It
is additional evidence of unrest and dis
lcontent in that party among it's rank
and file, another Indication OF the
peoples determination to thu ow of the
the party and mas become so CALLING to
them.
The democrats SHOULD draw a lesson
from this state of affairs in the repubIi-
can party n should be more than ever
bent on harmony in their own ranks
and determined upon a conservative and
open conduct of primaries and nomina-
tions. Let there be no cause or SEM
blance of cause for the cry of bossism
or machine rule in our party during this
campaign.
With harmony in our ranks and a
spirited, determined fg;lt, and no fool
lish mistakes the next house of repre-
lsentatives will be democratic. The
democrats have eve had a better
showing for victory than is presented
by the conditions under which they en-
ter the opening campaign. While the
republicans are quarreling among them
selves; while the people see their lead
lers opposing each other or some of the
most important party measures why
lcannot the democrats put aside personal
preferences n party differences and
fcome together with full determination,
by united and strenuous effort, to re-
lgain what We have lost by strife and
Idiscord within our ranks. United we
stand; divided ave fall.
