The Venezuelan Commission d.

WASHINGTON, January 3l.--The
Ven ezuelan Commission held meeting
to day with all the members present.
A great portion of the session was
taken up in the consideration OF
matters touching on the merits of the
controversy and examining maps and
quantity of material sent from the
State Department in answer to re-
quests, and collected by the secretary
specially charged with the task.
Up to this time the commission has
not received notice from either the
British or Venezuelan government of
their intention to avail themselves of
the invitation extended to appear
before the commission through repre-
sentative.
Nothing has been determined yet as
to sending an agent to Europe to COL
lect evidence there for the commits
sion. 1t is said this work could not
be intelligently undertaken until the
mass of matter already before the
commission has been thoroughly di.
gested and knowledge acquired of
just what gaps remain to be filled
from European archives.

REGISTER.

In company of five gentlemen
last week, when the subject of regis
tration was casually mentioned, it was
found that TWO had registered last
Tuesday and three had not This is
probably pretty nearly the proportion
of unregistered to registered prevailing
throughout the entire city, If that be
true. there are Is, 600 names that should
be entered before election day, and at
least as many of them should be placed
upon the rolls today as were a week
ago. It does not seem that it should be
necessary to urge upon any one this
year the performance Of this. important
duty. The interest is so great. and the
feeling of all our citizens that every
thing depends upon the result of the
November election is so strong, that
most voters might be trusted to attend
to registration without any reminder or
solicitation. But experience shows that
there is an enormous lot of carelessness
in this matter. Therefore, it should
become the duty of every man to turn
himself into a registration agent to-
day, and look, for once, after the bust
ness of his friends and neighbors.
Get out all the voters that you can.
There is but enc other opportunity,
and it is extremely unsafe to wait for
that. A casual Illness, a temporary
forgetfulness, an absence from the city,
or any one of dozen things which
may prevent man from registering
on that day, will be fatal There is no
such thing as voting unless you are
registered. You cannot be certain that
you will be registered unless you look
after it today. When the books are
closed tonight there ought to be over
$4,000 names on the polling lists of st.
Paul. Let US send everything else to
the rear for today. and make a big
registration our first and sole concern.

Commissioner Copeland, Of the public

they have been in attendance upon the con-
vention of the American Society Of Munich
pal Improvements. Mr.. Copeland says thai
the papers read at the various sessions were
singularly able and instructive. embracing
all the topics of interest to the inhabitants
of cities. Pavements, sewers, sidewalks,
electric lighting etc, were exclusively dis
cussed.
II took particular notice. said Mr.. Cope
land that the expert engineers favored
brick pavement. They declared that it. would
be be the future paving material for cities
in which the traffic is not too heavy. The
fault found with asphalt was that in the
northern cities it was subject to cracking
because of the low and changing tempera-
ture, and in the Southern cities, the warm
weather softens IT, Fire clay brick had the
preference
Mr.. Copeland was much impressed with the
great drainage canal now nearly completed
from Chicago to Lockport. ILL.,. distance of
forty miles. 1t has already cost s26 000, 600,
and the total expense will reach $50, 600. GOO.

END OF THE NUSHKA
ST. PALS SWELL CLUB DETER
MINES TO ADJOURN FOR
A YEAR.
NEW QUARTERS ARE DESIRED,
WILL BE REORGAN-
AS A News CLUB EXCLUSIVELY.
Old Ideas Have Been Ou1groun and
Change of Policy VIII
Result.

While the old members of the Nushka
club are reluctant 60 abandon the name
and prestige of the organization which
has commanded the social situation in
this city for period of eleven years,
1T was apparent at the meeting held
last night that the organization as it
exists at present would soon be
thing o. the past. It was an unpleas-
ant service for the OLD members Of
the club to attend a meeting for the
purposes of that held last night, and
the hour was late when they finally
secured quorum, but the problem was
then solved without friction.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
the present quarters were poorly adapt
ed for the purposes of a CLUB of the
position of the Nushkas, and it was
decided that ii would be well for the
club to adjourn for a year. This mol
lifted those who were opposed to
dfsbandment, thus preventing the
charter of the club from Iapsing. and
at the same time providing all the re
lief that a disarmament could have
done. 1t was also decided that when
the club should resume regular social
and business sessions, il should be as a
mems club, strictly swell in it's circle
and thoroughly fashionable in it's ap-
pointments. While the new quarters
will no doubt be on the hill, it is pro-
posed to have a. club which shall be
second to no club in the Northwest and
as ambitious in it's social functions
as any organization west Of New York
city at least.
During the term of year for which
the club adjourned, The president or the
executive committee may call it in
special session for the purposes Of re-
organization. The reorganization will
involve the dropping of the women who
have been members of the present Or
ganization, and perhaps of some of the
male members who have been unac-
eeptable. At the time the women
helped to organize the club. its chief
objects were along athletic lines Incl
dent to the ice carnivals. The mem
bers have gradually outgrown these,
and. the men, on whose shoulders the
chief burden of the club have fallen
have decided that the solution Of the
problem which confronts the club is to
reorganize as an exclusive mems club
Al special committee consisting of w.
c. Read, T. E. Scott and c. A. Otis,
was selected to look out for suitable
quarters for the new club, and it is the
understanding that as soon as the COM
mittee succeeds in finding a habitation
worthy the organization in it's opinion,
it will refer the same to the executive
committee, which in turn will call a
meeting of the full club for the purpose
Of determining the basis Of reorganiza-
ton

ing Tor that dollar marx Wn1cn mas
been for so many years now the goal
OF the farmers ambition. 1t may find
it, but we would not like to be too
sanguine about that. The Minnesota
and Dakota farmer has pretty good
thing of it as it is. His wheat is at
this moment worth more than twenty
cents bushel more than it was just
one year ago. The addition that this
Northwest runs into millions of dol
lars. 1t is no hypothetical increase
either, like the profits which the specu-
lator figures out for himself when there
cash in the pocket of every farmer
who has grain to spare and will haul
1t to the nearest elevator
The roads are still in such condition
that this can be dene without difficulty,
and the improved market is within
the reach of every man who has
wheat surplus to dispose of. More
over. there is a prospect that the pres
crop is in sight. 1t is the result of per-
fectly natural conditions Wheat has
been excessively low because there was
more of it in the world than there was
a demand for, and the price, therefore.
fell to about the cost of production in
those countries where production is
cheapest. Now there is less of it than
will satisfy the worlds demand There
world India, in particular, threat
ened now with famine, is changed from
producer to consumer; and. instead of
being a competitor with us, is purchas-
ing cur wheat 10 keep her OWE people
from starvation. Were this rise in
prices consequence. like others of re-
cent years. of 'cornering'' the market
by powerful bull influences, it would
not be a cause for congratulations The
break might come at any time. and an
artificial rise always has to be paid for
by an artificial fall of equal severity
But natural rise in price is perma-
nent in character. and is an actual addi-
ton to the prosperity Of the community
from which nothing has to be sub
tracted later on.
Better even, to our minds, than the
money value of this market change, is
the political lesson that it teaches. 1t
would be we'll worth the millions that
are now added to farmers receipts to
have them learn the falsity Of the poll
tician's argument that prices are the
result Of something other than the
natural operation Of demand and sup
ply. 1t is worth that to teach them, as
they have been taught by absolute
demonstration in the last thirty days,
that the theory that wheat prices and
silver prices are united by some in
dissolub1e bond in an imbeciIe fabrica-
ton. It is worth it to have them. see
that their fortunes and misfortunes are
not built upon the volume of money in
nothing at all to do with it; and that,
without the addition of one dollar to
the amount of currency prices may
advance more than the total that the
farmer would have expected or the. agi-
tator have promised If some of the
wildcat money theories now in vogue
had been carried into practice. From
whatever side we view it the continued
rise in the price of wheat Is the great
est and most satisfactory feature of the
industrial situation
