The machine in this CITY, knowing
this early that fair and honest regis
trasion and election will lay its candi-
dates on the cooling board, mas had
several thousand blank "applica lions"
issued, copy of which is printed above
The scheme is to place the "applica-
tions" in the hands of ward agents and
heelers who will approach the voter os-
tensibly in the interest OF the Citizens
Ticket. The voter Is asked il he has
registered. When he answers no, the &C
commodating heeler generously pro-
poses to save him trouble and see tina
he is properly registered.
All the voter Ia aaked to do is to sign
his name to the registration (?) blank
form and he, the &C ,om modating heeler,
Will do tho rest. Tho voter signs,
thanks his ubiquitous friend and goes
about his business. The heeler smiles
In his sleeves and when he turns the
hrst corner tears the regis tras ton"
blank into fragments and throws il TO
the winds. On election day tho inno-
cent voter will be informed by The
judges Of election that his name does
not appear in the books and he is not
entitled to vote. The deluded victim
has no rec purse. He has simply al
lowed himself to be swindled out OF his
vote. This is diabolical scheme and
oil fair.minded men of whatever party
will thank The TIMES for exposing it.
Let every voter remember that he
must appear in person before the regis
trar of his ward in order to have his
name registered according to law.

Interior merchants are placing more

larger distributing csnters report sales

The more unfavorable features arc

aud energies of American statesmen
Luckily Congress is committed at the
present time to nothing more than the
determination by commission of the
probable rights Of Great Britain and
| Venezuela in the disputed territory. 1t
has not undertaken to declare in advance
what it's policy will be in case the COM
mission should report in favor Of Nene-
zuela. 1t has not followed the President
up all the avenues to further negotia-
tions by anything like an ultimatum,
it has not endorsed what Mr.. Dingley
calls the snapper" on the Presidents
message. Fortunately, too, the Thoughtful
and influential elements of the British
population are manifesting conciliatory
spirit War is apparently just as unpnpu-
lar with them as it is with the similar
elements on this side of the water. The
situation still is that the intelligent peo-
pie of both nations deprecate an appeal
to arms. With this spirit pervading both
nations it ought to be possible to renew
negotiations with good prospect of find
ing solution without war and without
humiliation, if no more fuel is ADDED to
the flame by fiery speeches and threats.
The mischief has been DONE not by in
sistance upon the Monroe doctrine, which
we believe this country must adhere to
for self protection, but by q threat of war
thrown out before we had established be-
yond reasonable doubt that the nation
threatened, was determined to ignore this
doctrine. While in some way we should
efface that threat we should not abandon
the Monroe doctrine nor withdraw our
request that England submit the ques-
ton of the disputed territory to arbitra-
tion, unless our commission report that it
is clearly hers We have been guilty of
something that looks like bullying, but
in regretting that, we ought not to rush
into obseq uiousness

1t is not very profitable to undertake
to aDportion the responsibility for the pre-
dioament the country is in anent the
Venezuela matter. 1t doesn't oil rest
with the President, though the major
portion belongs there. Congress was to
blame for rushing through a matter of
SO great IMPORTANCE, and the sober
minded and thoughtful people of the land
are blameworthy for not expressing their
sentiments so oner. What makes the
President to blame far more than any,
body else is the fact that he acted with
elaboration. He did not write his mes
sage in an atmosphere surcbarged with
enthusiasm. Ee had plenty of time
