The Harrison County Teachers Institute

able Manner.

the firm Holmboe & Laferty, arhftects,
Of this city, made very instructive ad-
dress Thursday morning to the Harrison
county teachers institute. His subject
was school Architecture he handled
the subject with ability, being experienc-
cd in that line, ON account OF the fact
that mis- arm has done great deal Of
architecture for school buildings and are
very successful in that, as well as all
other respects. He described a proper To-
cation for school house and told how
to select plans, material, etc. He also
drew on the blackboard floor plan for
a district school, with hallway, cloak
rooms, etc. A plan for two-room build
ing was also drawn by him. Then he
ably discussed various features rs TO
heating, lighting and ventilation, dwell
ing infinitely on the several topics. so
that the institute might gain an intelli-
gent idea of this part of the educational
system. He explained where the win
dows Of the school room should be plac-
ed; also the blackboard, and told what
kind of blinds to use. Mr.. Lafferty- is
n very pleasant speaker and, having his
subject thoroughly in hand, he filed this
number of the program with ease 20
himself and profit to his auditors.

4 TEyEZUELAN COuPRONIsE.

The latest tidings indicate the probability that
q settlement Of the Venezuela dispute will pres
emily be effected upon the basis Of such a COM
promise as that already suggested in the col
unns Of The Tribune. 1t viii be recalled that
Venezuela offered to pay the claims against
her by surrendering therefor part of her Gus
toms receipts uutil they were satisfied, but stip
ulated that all valid claims against her, pre-
ferred by whatever power, should be thus dealt
with equally and simultaneously. The three al
lied powers Great Britain, Germany and Italy
accepted the first part Of the offer but rejected
the latter stipulation, insisting that they should
he treated as preferred creditors and that all
their claims should be fully paid before those
OF any other powers were taken up. To this
Venezuela replied with a proposal that the
three powers be treated preferentially for
limited time after which all claimants should
share alike.
We expressed on Tuesday the hope and ex-
pectat1on that this proposal would be accepted,
the powers and Venezuela agreeing through
mutual concession and compromise, upon the
length Of duration Of the preferential treatment
1t now seems probable that precisely such a
settlement VIII be made. The three powers at
first demanded preferential treatment until
their claims were paid, which would have been
about six years. Venezuela proposed that they
have # for only thirty days, period perhaps
long enough 10 establish principle, but not TO
afford them much material advantage. The
compromise now apparently acceptable to both
sides fixes the period at three months. That
length Of time is, we are told suggested by
Baron Speck Won Sternburg. We may therefore
assume that il win be satisfactory TO Germany,
and, If 10 Germany, to the other two powers
also.
Upon such an arrangement all who are con-
cerned viii be entitled TO congratuIations-by
no means least OF all the German Minister, y no
thus auspiciousiy signalizes Che opening of what
we may hope viii be long and successful ca
reer at Washington. 1t viii be for all probably
the best and certainly the easiest and quickest
way out Of q situation which has daily been
growing more irksome if not actually perilous.
We may hope that when it is all over and done
with the lesson of the incident viii not be for
gotten Venezuela certainly should never again
let her international obligations thus go to pro-
test As for the three militantly protesting

SENATOR HANNA'S FOUNTAIN OF Y0UTI

SENATOR HANNA'S FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
The Southern Governors and others who are
so industriously and so angrily giving certif1-
Gates to President Roosevelt as the chief friend
of the negro may have to revise some Of their
estimates and admit that there are others. Sen
ator Hanna has introduced bill in Congress
granting pensions and bounties TO all eX-slaves
who were freed by President LincOlD's Procla-
nation of Emancipation.
We think our Southern friends have been
overready TO ascribe the Presidents action on
negro appointments TO unworthy motives, par
ticUlarly he has named fewer negroes to Of
fee than his predecessors and has taken great
pains to select worthy men, whose advancement
would be an incentive to others of their race
to make honest endeavof for respectability. We
are not sure indeed, that the present bitterness
is not due TO this feature Of the Presidents
policy. Perhaps the South would be content to
see certain definite number of offices set
apart, so to speak, as the negro quarter of poll
tics to be tenanted by disreputable persons.
What they object 10 may be the idea Of no
negro quarter. but the occupation of even a few
offices by worthy men on an equal plane with
white people They have tolerated without
complaint the use of low negroes in politics,
but apparently do not want responsibility in
DNe%AA@ON
President for playing politics in this matter,
but they know that he has not gone about it
In the way TO play politics even if he had any
need TO do so. They will probably also blame
Senator Hanna for playing politics, and charge
that he is jealous of the Presidents strength
with the negroes and has devised rival scheme
Of his own.
That would, however, be an unjust conclu-
sion, for Senator Hanna has frankly declared
that he has no Presidential ambition. 1t is
much more likely that, while the President is
striving TO teach the rising generation of negroes
TO be honest and industrious, Senator Hanna is
from philanthropic motives attacking the other
half of TIE problem and seeking to help those
who are too old TO learn new ways bv tapping
for them a fountain of youth. Mr. Hanna has
taken active interest in the welfare Of the
laboring population of the whole country and
his benevolence is not unnaturally aroused in
behalf of those workers who had not the chance
in early life TO make provision for old age hav-
ing been compelled to labor without reward
We do not see that the South has any reason
to complain of this bill For years the pension
stream has been flowing over the North, en-
riching not merely the veterans, but the neigh
borhoods in which they dwell. The South has

4 CASE FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
At a place of public resort in this city on
Tuesday afternoon James ]. Corbett signed
articles of agreement for twenty-round tight
Will, Jeffries in Canada next June for the heavy
weight championship of the world, the winner
to receive 10 per cent Of a purse Of S25,oo0.
The law of the State of New-York relating to
prizefghting, sparring exhibitions, ETC., Is as
follows:
A nerson who. within this State, engages in,
institutes aids, encourages or does any act TO
further contention, or fight, without weapons,
between two or more persons, or a nght con-
monty called a ring or prize tight, either Wlthlh
or without the State, or who engages IN a pup
lie or private sparring exhibition, with or with
out gloves. within the State, at when an aoInls-
sion fee is charged or received, either directly
or indirectly, who sends or publishes chal-
lenge or acceptance of a challenge for such a
contention, exhibition or fight, or carries or de-
Uvers such a challenge or acceptance, or trains
or assists any person in training or preparing
for such a contention, exhibition or fight is
guilty Of misdemeanor-
As to the fact of Corbett's signing the agree
ment referred to for a championship fight with
Jeffries we suppose there can be no doubt what
soever, and consequently we take the liberty OF
calling the matter TO the notice Of District At
torney Jerome. 1t is an immense advantage to
the State TO have driven the actual business Of
priZehght1ng beyond It's D0rderS, Dul IL WouIu
be well to complete the process of expulsion by
compelling all who are engaged in it to make
their agreements, arrangements and prepara-
tons somewhere else. No trace of the depraved
and fraudulent prize ring ought TO be left in
New-York. 1t will be observed that the law
forbids anything to be done within the State in
furtherance of pugilistic combat either within
or without the State. In signing here an agree
ment to fight Jeffries in Canada Corbett clearly
defied the law and is guilty of misdemeanor.
Others are obviously in the same position, but
If might suffice to begin with him. VIII Mr..
Jerome bring his case to the attention Of the
grand Jury?
