MERELY A GILLIAN VESSEL.
Grave Consideration Over the Escape of
the Itata.

The authorities at Washington are greatly
vexed over the escape Of the steamer Itata.
The question of the right of the United
States to take her on the high seas is not
altogether settled
The State Department people have
searched their authorities and have scru-
tintzed the facts in the case, and are in
clined to doubt the right. The whole ques-
ton arises from q dispute as to the charac-
terof the vessel. Were she a pirate, ship
in the service of an enemy to this country,
and vessel of American register engaged
in acts in violation of treaty stipulations,
the case would be a simple one. But she is
merely a CHILEAN vessel engaged in the
transportation of a suspected cargo, a cargo
that may possibly be contraband in the
light of the treaty, and there is a very
grave risk involved.

The esteemed Register garbles, mis-

oRNcER's remarks about the Democratic
Council ticket. What tho 1NTEI11GEN.
GER urged regarding that ticket was that
OF the thirty, six men named for Council,
ten are either saloonkeepers or are in
terested in the liquor buainess, and that
for this reason the ticket is clear out Of
proportion in point OF representation.
In other words, granting, as the Register
says, that the ticket ia 20 representative
one" the IHTELLlaRNcER believes, in
common With great many good people,
that the liquor interests have more
than their share. In other words, the
Democratic ticket proposes to give con-
troll Of more than one-fourth Of Council
to the liquor men, and that is not fair,
and is not calculated to obtain the sup
port Of the best element OF the commu-
nifty.
The 1STELLloENcER takes pleasure in
publishing llst of the Republican can
didates, with their callings. 1t is a
representative ticket and does not pro.
pose to place u dangerous power in the
hands Of men whose business needs
regulating by law. Will the Register
kindly print the Republican list and
point out the Objectionable representa-.
lives omit?
