The election of General Ignacio Andrade
as President Of Venezuela is regarded as a
signal victory for the proposed arbitration
between Venezuela and Great Britain. Gen.
sral Andrade has always been an earnest
advocate OF that means for settling the
long standing disputes. His election was
considered for time in doubt, owing to
the violent opposition Of political schemers
in the Venezuelan Congress to the treaty
recently ratified largely through his efforts.

of the State Printing Office says one
of the reasons why the work in that es-
tablishment costs so much is that those
who write the copy" make so many
changes in their matter when they get
the proof sheets. He exhibited some
proof sheets that had been twice re-
vised and said it would be cheaper to set
1t aneV than to make the corrections.
The State Printer having no control over
the writers, has to have work changed
twice and perhaps oftener because the
writers do not observe proper care in
the first preparation of the manuscripts
or because they have found new matter
they want to substitute for the old. The
proofs exhibited were those of reports
of the State University, where manu-
scripts should be carefully prepared if
anywhere and were probably not the
worst samples of double and triple trou-
BILE. This instance will go to explain
why composition in that office has some
times cost 81 per 1000 ems.
