RRrrAIS N VENEZUELA.

II the Brtlsh go no farther than asking
FOR an indemnity FOR tire arrest By Yene-
zaela OF Sergeant Be1rens and his fellow
policemen, It may be that the present con-
troversy viii result merely IN a second
Corlnto affair Behrens wes arrested on
what Venezuela claims was her territory,
but that country has already acknOwi-
edged her error In making this arrest by
returning 70 tire arrested men all the
property taken from them and eompensas-
Ing them 70 some extent for their trouble.
ard our government has advised and ap-
proved Of this action.
SO far as the Behrens arrest IS con-
eerned. quite number think that Great
Britain's demand for an indemnity for the
Imprisonment Is neither unwarranted nor
oppressive. John A. Kasson. who is one
OF our most experienced diplomats, be-
heYes the British justified in asking for
satisfaction. provided the demand relates
solely 10 the Behrens affair and includes
no recognition Of the British title 20 the
territory wherein Behrens was. Mr.. Kas-
son Iikens the act OF arresting Behrens 10
the arrest OF some OF the Canadian Off
cials. say some members OF the mount
ed police OF the Northwest territory, who
should enter Alaska and make temper
AIRY location there. Such an arrest by Or
der of our government would, he thinks.
be unwarranted and would be equivalent
to an act Of war or an offense against
Great Britain. for which we would be in
atsfxy eseasred 20
Lord Salisbury could consistently press
his demand for reparation because OF the
arrest and ignore the land dispute, but it
is extremely unlikely. If the two questions
are separated. The one viii be a very
valuable adjunct IN the settlement OF the
other. Should the policy followed in Mica
Tauga be adopted and strong positions
taken ostensibly with the idea OF getting
a Behrens indemnity, il IS not a. all likely
that they would be given up until the
Venezuelans had made boundary conces-
sions. Such maneuver the state de-
partment IS of course looking out for.

THE ELECTION TODAY.

No ONCE in local government Is OF more
importance than that OF member of the
school board. but there IS generally very
little interest taken by the taxpayers
There are three tickets IN the feld made
up apparently without limit upon age. ma
tiouality. politics, sex or prexious exhibit
ton OF exceptional fitness. The Popullsts
have political ticket, but none of the
other candidates have taken a particular
~ active part in politics.
In some respects the election this year
is unusual. There has been less OF or
ganizatiOn than generally takes place.
most OF the candidates are comparatively
unknown. and the efforts TO elect any
ticket have been confined TO the friends
OF the candidates. For two or three years
an active minority. never Influential
enough 10 accomplish anything itself, has
acrimoniously resented any suggestion on
the part OF the press OF special qualifca-
tons OF candidates. They cannot COM
plan on that score this time. for there
has been a remarkable avoidance OF any
appearance OF par,iallty for individuals.
Every taxpayer should attend the polls.
and aid In the election OF the manor wo-
man--he thinks bes, fitted for the posi-
ton. Our school system IS a great inst
tuition. and Its success depends very much
upon the character and ability OF the gov
ern!ng board
The taxpayers should not forget that the
election today carries control Of the board.

SEATTLE, SATURDAY. NOV. Q.
THE cITy,s LOAD or DEBT.

There have been within ths past two
years very painful Indications that the
people OF Seattle are oYerburdened with
debt and consequent taxation. Much OF
that debt was wisely incurred. some Of IL
was due 20 our extravaganza and over
confidence IN the rapid growth of the city.
Nevertheless. we have taken upon our
selves the responsibility Of that debt. and
IL viii take as some years 20 get into such
shape that the annual amount OF interest
sent out OF the city. shall cease 20 be a
hardship. But in the rame OF common
sense we protest against any more OF IT,
We ara already subject TO an interest
burden Of $50 for every day ia the year.
Just think Of IT, Fifty cents for every
moment we breathe: $50 a day; 81. 500 a
month: SID. ioS a year for interest alone.
The following figures show IN detail why
Il is that this city Is 50 slow TO feel the
benefits Of the returning prosperity.
We arc so deeply involved that we cannot
set the profits OF our trade. but are send
ing the money away In interest to outside
hondholders.
The bonded debt OF the city OF Seattle,
the purpose thereof. the rates OF interest
and tho annual interest charges are as

MANITOBA SCHOOL COMPROMISE.


The Manitoba school question is not az

compromise has been reached which e
really victory for the Manitobans and
the friends OF non-sectarian schools The
local statute Of 1890 abolished the double
system which had previously existed. thus
doing away with the Catholic schools
which had been supported by public taxa
ton. The Catholics appealed 70 the crown
and a remedial order came back granting
them ell the privileges which they had en-
joyed under the old law. The Manltoaans
threatened TO resist the enforcement Of
this order. and thus the matter has stood
for some months. The Canadian govern

compromise.
