Indecent Haste Of the Powers i'm
Provoking War.

Secretary of State Seward. in 1861.
when the allied powers of England,
Spain and France invited this gov
eminent to join them in obtaining
by fOrcible measures the payment of
claims against Mexico. gave this re-
ply:
The nited States does not feel in
clined to resort to forcible remedies
for their claims at the present mo-
ment, when the government of MeXi-
co is deeply disturbed by factions
within and war with foreign nations
The plea that was good for Mexico
then ought to be good for revolution
racked Venezuela now. However just
the claim of Great Britain and Ger
many against Venezuela may be. and
however unqueStionable may seem
their right to satisfy those claims.
the fact remains that these two
powerful nations have taken n mean
advantage of the little republics dire
distress.
y remarkable feature of the af-
fair is that the German and British
ministers at Caracas. backed by
powerful fleets of war vessels. chose

mands Il festival day. when all the
public offices were closed. delivering

want at the private residence of the
Venezuelan minister of foreign af-
fairs and then, as if to preclude all
possibility of amicable response.
closed their legations and repaired to
the war ships. as if war had already
begun. There clearly shows upon the
face of this action n determination
not only to receive no answer from
flame her wrath ana to prod her. if
possible, into striking the first blow.
The Cleveland Press strikes the Situa-
ton exactly when it says:
This indecent haste with which
hostilities were begun may have been
due to apprehension least the United
States might offer Venezuela assis-
tance i'm meeting her obligations and
extend to her the protection that
under the Monroe doctrine is right
fully hers. There seems TO lie more
eagerness for war than for an adj
iustment. Surely if any nation can
ever afford TO be fair and patient.
these two great powers might have
shown some little generosity to Nene-
zueia at this juncture.
Decent respect for the opinion of
mankind. if not for fairness to the
shattered little republic, ought to
have moved them at least to give her
an opportunity to reply to their de-
mands.
"A prospect of her making provis-
ion for payment of their claims was
certainly no menace to their just
rights. Payment was all they could
justly demand"

lowed with legal process and punish
ment.
AS n safeguard to stockholders, a
protection to investors. n sort of
stock-speculator's signal service for
the benefit of lambs who otherwise
might be shorn, the elaborate public
reports provided for by the Little
field bill will be of obvious value. But
the unloading of trust stock for more
than il is worth on unwary investors
is not the chief evil of monopoly. 1t
is of no consequence whatever com
pared with the levying of eXtortiOnate
prices on the necessities of life by
virtue of monopolies of the home
market created by unlawful combina-
tions and buttreSSed by prohibitive
rates.
Attorney General Knox said at

A LOWER RATE.
The Taxation for Territorial Pur-
POSES This YeaT.

The Territorial Board of Equali-
cation did not quite finish its
work yesterday, though it got so
far along that the general result
may be outlined There will be
some satisfaction in knowing that
the Territorial rate of taxation
will not be so high as it was last
year. II will be l.l3 and fraction,
instead of III. The total valu-
alton Of the Tearitory will be $780,
83,l7T5T, which is an increase of
S229,3 ,34G over the valuation of last
year. The increase is really con.
siderably more than is shown by
the figures for the returns of last
year from Cochise county amount
ed to more than 100000. The
attempt to collect taxes on that
valuation involved the county in
a great deal of litigation with the
mining companies, and in the, end
was unsuccessful. This year the
county accordingly fell back to
something near its former figures,
S3,000,000 less than the returns OF
a year ago.
The loss of the showing made
by Cochise county, as we'll as the
apparent gain for the whole Ter
ritory, was made up mostly by the
counties of Yavapai and Cochise,
the former by higher assessment
on the mines and the latter by a
higher valuation on railroad
lands.
The returns of the counties are
as follows.
