Great Britain will dilly daily
with that Venezuelan question un-
til she is forced to conclusions, then
she will come into the arrange
ment that she cannot avoid. 1t is
her disinclination to have any of
her acts questioned that is at the
bottom of her refusal to arbitrate
the Venezuelan boundary, for the

tentions in the main.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, '95

Boss Platt's insistence that there
should be a late meeting of the
national republican convention,
does not seem to have had any
weight in determining that mat
ter. The date set, June Is, is a
week earlier than the convention
OF 1892, and about as early as the
conventions have averaged. II this
could only be accepted as an indi.
cation that Boss Platt was losing
his grip, it would be most cheering,
but unfortunately this is not the
case.

THAT VENEZUELAN QUESTION.


the returns to find out what Spain
permitted to the Netherlands in
encroaching upon her territory at
the Orinoco. This government is
only interested in seeing that the
lands which Venezuela actually
received as the successor to Spain
are not taken from her by trumped
up British claims. If, as asserted,
Great Britain claims no more than
she. vas given by the Netherlands,
when she succeeded to the posses
sions Of that power in the disputed
territory, then there can be moth
ing in that boundary question for
the United States to find
fault with. What is needed is
a peaceable arbitration OF a
matter somewhat complicated, in
order to ascertain facts. 1t is more
a com mission OF enquiry tn 1t is in
order than an arbitration upon
questions of disputed territory. 1t
is purely a question Of territorial
right, and this dating back to the
earliest period Of Orinoco settle
ment by the Spaniards, that is the
problem to be decided. Spain made
the original discoveries and settle
ments there. The Netherlands,
SPANS rival in exploration, squat.
ted upon lands in Spanish South
America, that were not actually
settled by the Spaniards. The ex-
petitions OF Spain to drive out the
intruders were not successful.
The Netherlands continued to
occury the lands lying be-
tween the mouths of the
Orinoco and the Essequibo and
perfected such title to them as per-
manent occupation for the period
OF her holding them could confer.
The contention that then arose
was between the rights Of Spain
by discovery and those of the
Netherlands (the DutCh) by actual
possession. Only twice has this
actually possession been disputed, lin
1895 and 1865, when the Spanisrds
drove the Dutch temporarily be-
yond the EssequibO, and again in
1897 when they attempted to dc
so and were repulsed. This state.
ment, asserted to be true upon the
examination OF the official dOcu'
ments at Washington, shows that
there has been no established claim
by Spain to these lands for over
300 years. The possessions o.
Great Britain, France and Holland
lying south OF the Orinoco, have
not been in the possession OF Spair
for more than three centuries, il
the exception is made to the tenn
porary occupation by force Of arm'
as above stated. Upon this show
ing of the case, there will be no in
reference with continued British
occupation thereof. No matter
how agreeable it would be to Ameri
can flesh and blood to aid in thu
ldispossession Of that territory, anC
fork it over to Venezuela, it canno
be done at the expense OF every
consideration OF international'pre
cedent. Better be right. thar
sacrifice right to feeling.

WHATOTHERS ARE Saying
Women in Rhode Island.

~
One Of the special bulletins Of the Rhode
Island State census board deals largely with
the population as regards the sexes. and is
very interesting.
In Rhode Island there are found to be 10. 600
more women than men in a total population
Of sSi. 75s. The excess of women over men is
not far from tie same ratio that exists in
Massachusetts, and other New England states.
In the city OF Providence, containing a popu-
lation of las, AZ, there are 500 more more wo'
men than men.
IL is interesting to imagine the state OF
affairs that would prevail il in Rhode Island
the complete suffrage of women were an ac-
complished fact, and the women had made up
their. minds TO run things" and look the
men out of politics. In all but one county the
women are in the majority, and they have a
majority in nearly every town and city.
Under our electoral forms they could control
everything politically, should they ever com
bine on Sex issues in an exigency.
OF course this is only a superstition. and Is
least of all intended as an argument against
make woman suffrage a more serious question
in the East, where the women predominant,
than in the West. where the men overwhelm.
ingly predominatc, as in Wyoming.
IL might be well for far West journals. who
arc now sneeringlY herating 4adYanled.idea'
endum, to take these things into account.

THE CITY DEBT.

I'M VII DLDis
The reform campaign attempt to make
1t appear that the city OF Providence Is
heavily burdened with debt is one OF the
many ridiculous features of the ''move-
ment."
The affairs Of the city of Providence
have not been extravagantly administered
by the present city government or any
of it's immediate predecessors. No such
idea was conceived until the men with
grievances and motives undertook to get
up a hurrsh under the cry of reform.
Mr.. +. ID. BAssETT has talked about sex
travagance'' and "debt" from the plat
form, and has made himself ridiculous by
his evident lack OF understanding OF com
mon school arithmetic. The Journal has
had the surprising good sense not TO
monkey with the figures SO absurdly 70
has Mr.. BAssETT and has contented Itself
with telling half truths trusting thereby
delude to u~nthinking readers.
City Treasurer GRANGER, according 10
custom, has issued a card giving a brief
statement of the Indebtedness of the mu-
nicipal corporation. 1t tells the who'e
story. The Indebtedness of the city to-
day. net, is sl2, 1924, 500, and of this the

is a debt only in name. Ii IL. reilly IN

over the interest on the water bones and
cost of maintenance. Calling this SO, 9S5,-

Indeed it /, almost a mistatement. II

argument or argument that has a purpose
to deceive, to get in its fine work.

ment our net debt is found to 10 lesJ
than SO, 900, 900 and Of this eonsiderab bly,
more than 50, 900, 600 is invested in our
sewerage system.
We would like to find out wherein there
has been extravaganza. In what respect
are we over 5urdened with debt. We
know, MS a matter OF fact, that the bonds
of the city OF Providence are eagerly
sought for and easily command a high
premium. This is the best evidence IN
the world 10 controvert the malicious
and ignorant argument OF the ''reiorm-
ers." And we furthermore know that
the property actually owned by the city
corporation represents value, for
sale at auction, II you please, far
in excess OF the Indebtedness. Closed out
today tie assets of the corporation would
be found to easily cover the liabilities.
