The reflections suggested by the Presi-
dents proclamation in regard to tonnage
dues, and by German comments thereon,
concern the questions. why the exemption
from these taxes has been withdrawn. and
why it was ever allowed bv us.
The privilege was conceded to Germany
during MIR. CLEvELANDs first Administra-
ton, in 1883. The enormous difference
between the number and tonnage OF Ger
man merchantmen entering our ports and
of ours entering German ports must have
suggested Mt that time that, while the as
sumcd reciprocity of the arrangement then
entered into was clear. there was nothing
like an equality OF benefits.
Indeed, the very excuse now given for not
earlier discovering the state of facts on
which the Presidents proclamation is based,
| shows The vast inequality of the bargain,
even with its observance by Germany rs we
understood it. He finds that Germany has
been accepting the exemption of her ships
from tonnage dues, while imposing such
dues on our ships in her ports. 1t Is
explained that, during the eight years since
1883, only twenty-five American vessels
have entered Hamburg, there to find that
lhO Supl'ooSu iCN'pioIi'S N'N ''S N'N'SN' $500
that they must pay n tonnage tax. 1t Is
averred that. with more ships claiming ex-
emption, there would certainly have been
an outcry long ago, which would have pro
voked the remedy now applied,
| 1t would seem that, with the advantages
so heavily on her side, agGrcgating hun
| dreds of thousands of dollars in the case of
the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg
| American lines Germany would have found
her interest in strictly carrying out her
agreement, apart from any demands of good
faith in the matter. The explanation
OF the Cologne Gazette is that no State
tonnage duties are levied upon our ships,
the dues actually imposed being for the
use of special port facilities." The pro-
test lodged by the German Government
against the Presidents proclamation takes
substantially the same ground.
But the fact is not disputed that, to what
ever purpose revenue 30 derived IL applied,
the tax is one on tonnage. The comment
has been made that, during these eight
years we might almost az we'll have col
lected a tax on German ships for the main
tenance OF the Marine Hospital service,
since this, in fact. and not the general
Treasury, receives our tonnage taxes.
The real difficulty, however. 1t is suggested.

skin of an enormous grizzly, measures twelve
feet from tip to tip. and together with sew

an interesting exhibit such as is not to be seen
every day in San Francisco: Mr.. Darling has
a marvellous tale to relate Of a natives way OF

The Public and the Paroeh,., Schools,

To TIE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir: Although
the Schuylers had 10 do with the founding OF
the republic. New York city lie. think. the last
place TO pretend to teach "Americanism." 1t
was conspicuous rather for Toryism than pat
riotism during the Revolution. and many of its
vans " had TO flee their nativeHudson IN con-
sequence when the war was over. At the pres
ent day know OF no town less American than
New York.
Still. there's the Public Education Association
OF tina, city choosing Mrs. Schuyler Van Rens.e-
lae- tor its President. and laying down by her
mouth the conditions necessary for inspiring
the children of immigrants with our national
spirit. She is quoted in your paper OF the 2lst
nit. saying that mo school that recog-
EI2cs a particular creed or nation besides
our own can Americanize young"
Now. | wager neither Mrs Van Rensse-
laer nor any of her Batavo- American ancestors
ever attended other than school established
under the influence OF "a particular creed or
nation besides our own" All the public schools
Of New York up to 1910 or thereabouts. and in
England up 20 1870, were church or private
schools. Ii she can be American In spite of This,
nay. even the chosen champion Of Americnnism.
why does she libel the parochial schools? She
never went to public school, nor did her
mother or her husbands mother. They belong
TO circle that prescribes public schooling for
later arrivals, but will not condesceud to allow
their owr children IN hr educated by public off,
Gals at the public expense.
I've lived many years in New York State. and
know these people. " m.ie surprised at this
woman's position. am sorry to find "A defender
of the parochiai system enioined by the Balti-
more Council of the Catholic Church in the

With the acceptance by the Caracas Gov
ernment Of the eOLNEY-PAuNCEFoTE plan for
the settlement Of the boundary dispute, only
two steps remain prior to arbitration.
or these the first and all important is the
concurrence Of the Venezuelan Congress in
the plan; and this will be asked for at an
extra session. to be held at an early date.
The other is the negotiation of treaty be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain, and
this is likely to be intrustcd to Mr. An
DRADE and Sir JULIAN PAUNCEFoTE, at
Washington.
There have been rumors of Cabinet
crisis at Caracas, and a consequent change
Of Ministry. There is also possibility that
political enemies of President CREsPo may
seize on this affair to attempt his overthrow.
But the latest tidings represent Venezuela
as quiet, with every pr )spect that the
boundary scheme will be ratified. and diplo-
matte relations resumed with Great Britain.
After that, the drawing of treaty of arbi-
tration between the two countries will be
only a matter of detail.
There is now good reason therefore, to
believe that, to the triumph Of the MONROE
doctrine, already achieved. will very soon be
added the settlement of the Guiana bound
ary dispute, on the basis of fair dealing, as
n substitute for the law of the stronger.
