The Colombian Minister'S Letter.

The Colombian minister at this capital
has resorted to a most unusual expedient
TO bring to public attention the fact that
his government is dissatisfied with the
course of the United States in the matter
Of the Panama revolution claim. Having
failed to secure a favorable answer to
the Colombian demand that this matter
be submitted to arbitration, Senior Ospina
takes it upon himself to give out the
text of letter written by him, in his
own name and without any knowledge
of the views of his government in the
matter Ito use his language) in which he
notifies the State Department that the
Secretary OF State would be wise not to
include Colombia In his South American
itinerary, a visit there may happen
to be considered as inopportune."
Senior Ospina's letter, in effect, charges
the United States with bad faith in that
1t has refused to submit the Colombian
question to arbitration. 1t is the more
offensive in its terms in that the minister
asks that his suggestion be regarded as
horn Of desire to avoid aggravating the
difficulties between the countries. If
that was the DESIRE. why the publication
Of this letter at the minister's own in
Stance? If his purpose was merely to
prevent the inclusion of Colombia in the
Secretary's itinerary. it could have been
accomplished most satisfactorily without
publicity. The fact that the minister has
taken his present course suggests that
his object has been not so much to pre-
vent a difficult situation as to create a
sensation by exposing the fact of his
failure to secure a satisfactory adjust
rnent Of the Colombian claim.
The text of the minister's letter bears
out the assumption that he is taking this
means to appeal from the State Depart
rnent. He cites the ex-President of the
United States as urging the propriety
and desirability of submitting to arbitra-
sdon "the decision of International con-
troversies involving such questions He
also cites the Impotence shown by the
United States in 1S93-04 when in such
peremptory terms it demanded the SUBJ
mission to arbitration of the boundary
question then pending with Venezuela "
The State Department. position in the
matter has not yet been set forth, but it
may be easily understood to be one of
denial that there is anything now pend
ing to arbitrate. If Colombia in effect
accuses the United States of theft, the
United States has long since denied the
charge. and the. question is not one that
any self-respecting government can SUBJ
nit to court. There is no boundary dis
pute between Colombia and the United
States No other issue has been raised
than that of the American responsibility
for the Panaman revolution. which re-
suited In the establishment of new
nation that has received the recognition
Of all other governments save Colombia
itself. That question the United States
probably does not regard as '.justicia BILE. -

Breaking of the Frost.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
A wonderful message was transmitted
from bud to bud and from bulb to bulb
when the soft sun of the past few days
fell upon the soil. Hard, impervious as
is the frost that reached to a foot or
more In depth. the sun weaned 1t from
it's lair and caused 1t to come forth into
the open and thus to relieve the soil of
the dearth 1t IMPOSES upon 1t. The soil
would only need to be scratched over to
show q multitude Of green sprouts that
lie scarcely covered ready to burst out
from their thrall and to show they have
answered the call Of Mother Nsture.

Canada and Invitations.
ne Springfield Republican

Arizona's admission to the southern
Confederacy, in 1852, was not very unlike
Canada's admission to the Union in ITS.
Arizona did not accept the invitation SO
politely rendered her by President Davis
And SO with Canada. Any one who takes
the trouble to read the old articles of
confederation, under which we existed as
an independent nation prior to the adop-
ton Of the federal Constitution, will come
upon this interesting article:
canada, acceding to this confedera-
ton. and joining in the measures of the
United States. shall be admitted into and
entitled to all the advantages of this
Union; but no other colony shall be ad-
mitted into the same, unless such admis-
sion be agreed to by nine states"
The latest standing invitation to Canada
is the reciprocity law which remains on
our federal statute books.

feel that he has a sort of secular pas
torate over all the adjoining region. He
ought to have the aid. support, ability
and pay that will enable him to be a
social leader as well as teacher, and to
understand that a part and not the least
important part of his work is to keep in
close relations with the life about him,
aiding, directing, stimulating and inspir-
ing 1t. Every one in a schools territory
with anything to give in the way of
such aid or support ought to feel that
there is no more important use to which
to put an evening or two q week than the
task of making the schoolhouse a social
center, by going there and aiding 1t to
become SO by general effort and through
personal contributions.
