Englnnrs Claim on Venezuela.

Great BritainS demand upon Venezuela
for SEC, coo indemnity for alleged indignities
suffered by Englishmen on what is claimed
to be British territory at the hands of the
Venezuelan authorities is about to be re-
ceived by President Crespo at a most inter-
esting and for his purposes opportune time.
There is every probability that Great Brit
aims reply to the American note on the
boundary dispute will reach Congress with
in a week and 1t is expected that in COM
paratively short time the policy of the adj
ministration will receive a hearty support
from both houses OF Congress. The VeneZ-
this indemnity would amount to an acknowl-
edsement of the British claim for territory
based upon the various surveys and they
have therefore declared that they would not
pay the amount that might be assessed but
would prec:pitate the trouble by their re-
fusal to accede. Doubtless in this program
they rely with more or less confidence upon
the support of the United States and it Is
difficult at this time to understand how this
government can repeat its mountaineering
policy of the Corinto affair Gs an outcome of
which Nicaragua paid large sum in in
demnity to Great Britain. That case had
no bearing upon boundary question. while
this one grew directly out of dispute over
territory. The claim for indemnity and the
claim for territory in the Venezuelan mat
ter are indivisibly associated. The indem-
rity demand since it is based upon the ter
ritorial claim ought to be submitted along
with the latter to arbitration.

A Long CamnalSu In ,OR.

The national republican convention of
1896 will be held in St. Louis June 16 next
Geographically and chronologically there is
no real surprise in this decision. for it was
not confidently expected that the national
republican committee would break away
from the custom of seeking a southwestern
city and an early date for the great gath
ering of delegates. 1t was hoped by some
that the republicans would yield to the de-
mand for a shorter campaign by fixing a
late date for the convention, but instead OF
doing this the party has gone backward
and by selecting June 16 has insured q
longer campaign. or at least a longer lapse
of time between nomination and election.
than has been the case at any time since
the war. According to custom the admin
tstration party will hold its convention
prior to this date, so that the republican
convention will be the final one and will
mark the real beginning of political excite
ment The only way for the democrats to
yield to the pressure applied by the bust
ness interests of the country for a briefer
campaign is to ignore the custom of many
years and select later date than June 16
which will probably not be done. In 1864
the republican convention was held June Z
and the democratic August %; in 1853 the
republican convention occupied May 20 and
Fl and the democratic July to H. the
dates in 1872 were, republicans June and g.

ministrdtion party-June I, republicans
June 81; in 1892 repubicans-adminstra

pears that June p is the earliest date on
which the second of the nominating con-
ventons has been held since 1864 and thus
instead of shortening the campaign the re-
publican national committee has practical
ly decided to lengthen it,

future, for 1t scarcely keeps pace with the
natural increase of the urban populations.
The rapid rise of this class as a political
factor in Berlin, on the other hand, can
be traced to political causes. 1t is a pow
erful element in a general national move
ment, as evidenced by the strength of the
socialists in the reichstag. 1t may be that
the latter correspond In measure to the
populists. representing the dissatisfied,
restless elements that are to be found in
all great bodies polite. If such be the
case the inconsiderable increase of the
socialist vote in the two great American
cities named can hardly be regarded as an
alarming symptom of an unwholesome de-
velopment, for it is an accepted fact that
the populist movement has spent its force
and thinking men no longer apprehend-
as they once may have done-a tidal wave
of third-partyism, Overwhelming all the
conservative institutions of a century of
national growth. Nor does this country,

afford first-class opportunities for the
spread of socialism. 1t may be that this
very liberty is in itself the best safeguard
against unwholesome political develop
ments. Such, at least. is the opinion of
many sociologists who claim to see wide
expanse of uninterrupted domestic peace
for this ration, despite the occasional pur-
poseless up-starting of restless spirits who
would reform all the world in ten minutes,
while you wait. The socialist vote in New
York and Brooklyn must be many thou
sands stronger than it was this year, and
it must be cast for far more radical and
more revolutionary objects than are at
present proposed. for it to become worthy

MIR. Dayard's Predicn ent.

Mr.. Bayard will not be lmpeached for his
recent un-American utterances abroad, but
the introduction of resolutions to that effect
in the House has served to expose the utter
lack Of defensive arguments in his Eehalf.
Regardless of the economic principle in
volved in the case. the fact remains that
Mr.. Bayard committed what even mis- strong
est partisans will admit was an indiscretion
of a grave nature. and his utterances at
Edinburgh, containing such a serious char
acterization of the Americans who honestly
believe in protection, were wholly uncalled
for and improper. Mr.. Bayard has not
been guilty Of treason, bribery or other
high crimes and mlsdemeanors," and his
ofrense IS not properly Improbable. But
he deserves to be reprimanded by the Amer
lean people through their representatives in
Congress assembled, and this rebuke will
doubtless be administered.

Certain German journals are commenting
on the fact that the socialists at the re-
cent American elections polled over fifteen
thousand votes in New York and Brook
lyn and are intimating by comparisons
with the socialistic vote in Berlin that it
Will not be long before this element In the
American metropolis will be as strong as
1t is today in the German capital. This is
IN unfair and improbable deduction. The
population Of New York and Brooklyn is
largely cosmopolitan in character, and
there is strong undercurrent Of the radi-
cal sort Of socialism running through
considerable percentage of the voting
classes. The lax immigration laws have
given the large American cities an album
dance of material for the creation of such
conditions. but the development of the So
ctalistic strength is not a matter for the

Short Walk. for Consre..men.

Some of the members of Congress from
the south and west may have entered
Washington this year to attend the session
over the historical and famous-it might
more justly be termed infamous-Long
Bridge, that rickety causeway that is used
by the Pennsylvania railroad and its south
ern connections. This bridge was old and a
fit subject for replacement by a modern
structure twenty years ago. Today it Is
unsafe for those who cross 1t, and an an
pual source of danger to the city from
freshets in the spring, when the ice comes
rushing down the river, collects against
this low-lying structure, makes it more
than ever dam instead Of bridge, and
threatens to turn in the Potomac upon
Pennsylvania avenue and South Washing
ton. Those Congressman who are not well
acquainted with its condition and its record
might profitably take a turn in that direc-
ton some day before noon, in order to
appreciate to the full the recommendation
contained in the annual report of the chief
of engineers that this bridge should be
torn down and a new one erected in its
place. This recommendation has been
made many times but without avail, and
now the question comes whether one more
Congress is going to let that disgraceful
and dangerous structure remain in service
another season. By the terms of the bar
gain whereby the railroad is permitted to
use this bridge the company Is required to
keep it and the driveway adjoining the
tracks in repair, but the performance of
this duty is purely perfunctory and eva
sive. and inadequate repairs are made only
when the direst necessity is the compelling
force. Some time ago the company found
that the old frame was being shaken to
pieces by the vibrations caused by the
trains and sought to strengthen 1t by in
Producing arc-shaped wooden braces of
such size that the clear space between the
side of the car and the edge of the struc-
ture Is now only about six inches, thus
creating a dangerous possibility of acct
dents. The bridge Is also soon to be used
by the cars of an electric line connecting
Washington with Alexandria and Mount
Vernon, and the pressure upon the ram
terially. Its piers, never solid. have been
protected from the action of the tides by
heaps of stones which reduce the channel
way for the rivers current and add to the
danger Of ice gorgeS in the spring. What
is needed Is a fine, new bridge, that will ac-
commodate not only the railway traffic but
the ordinary travel between the shores as
well. Such bridge might easily be built.
to be an ornament to the city and a final
reparation to the community for the delay
that has continued the old Long Bridge in
service many years after it should have
been abandoned.
