TFNEZTELA PAYING UP.

So many unpleasant things, some true, some
false have been printed about Venezuela ID re-
cent wears that 1t is peculiarly agreeable TO oo-
serve news concerning that country ana It's gov
ernment which is of a positively credItabie ana
nIaaeant character Such is the announcement
now extant that Mr.. Castro's government IS
making the first of its payments to its seven
deferred creditors" in settlement of their
claims The claims of ten American and Euro
mean countries against Venezuela have been the
cause Of much controversy and Of some military
action. and much reproach has fallen upon the
South American republic their account not
all of which has been deserved There has
been no sufficient reason for supposing that
Venezuela ever meant to repudiate any or her
lust obligations She did object to paying enor-
mmsly inflated and cxtortionate claims, ana
she was quite right in doing Now the pc
,uniarv claims of those countries against her
have been adiudicated. and she accepts the re-
suit and is at the present moment engaged in
paying the judgments 1t is a creditable and
satisfactory consummaton.
Pleasant and encouraging. too. is the an
nouncenent that an agent of the Colombian
government is now at Caracas, negotiating for a
settlement of the boundary dispute between the
TWO nations and for resumption of diplomatic
relations. In thcir political vCissitudes Ven
ezuela and Colombia have been very much alike
They were formerly united under one govern
mcnt. and their geographical relations make
each the most important neshbor OF the other
and Indicate that the political commercial and
social interests of both Will be best served by
close degree Of amicable intercourse between
them. After a period Of storm and stress each
has now apparently entered upon new era OF
better things, and the time seems therefore op-
Fortune for "A re-eStabllshment of friendly rela-
tions.
In more than pecuniaFy sense. therefore,
Venezuela is paying up. or at least has an ad-
mirable opportunity TO do 50, which she seems
inclined To improve. 1t rests with her 10 atone
for the errors and msfortunes of the past by
pursuing n course of discretion and justice, and.
therefore undoubtedly OF prosperity. Her pres
ent government is reputed to be strong. Indeed.
its masterful qualities have been amply de
monstrated as to leave no doubt of them. All
that Is needed, then, to assure NeneZuelas place
in the esteem and confidence of the world Is for
that strength to be used for the ends of peace
and Justice. both at home and abroad. If that
is done the world will be quick to recognize the
fact and to give full credit for it, even TO the
extent of condoning the arbitrariness of die
tatorship which achieves such results.

THE STUDY OF MARS.
Professor LOzcePs Dissertations at

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A clipping has been sent TO Professor Lowell
which contains such complete misstatement OF
the work at this observatory that in view Of the
high standing of The Tribune 1t seems wise to
rect It
First-The special polar phenomena mentioned by
DR.. Lowell (see the Lowell observatory bulletins
procurable at all large public librarIes) not
only what was not known thirty years ago. but
were discovered at Flagstaff only through OBJ
servations prolonged beyond previous

their development from the polar caps, discovered
here. not Schiaparers idea at all. that
eminent observer believed the dark which
surround othe southern cap TO be seas through

ment made by Dr. Lowell from his observa-
tions in the northern hemisphere OF the planet and
OF so much OF the southern could then be IN
vestsated Far from its being true that the sup
position had been previously entertained II has
been violently combated
The great Importance Of ths years observations
consists in the detection OF a similar canal cx-
istence and behavior in the Martian antarctic re-
gfons in It's corresponding spring time. Such
ton has striknEly borne his theory. the facts
being not only unsuspected at the last similar
Fonal showing of the southern hemisphere seven
years ago. but the then state Of the study OF
Mars not permitting OF the necessary minute OBJ
servation.
Third-Whether his chain Of evidence that some
form OF life exists on Mars such as would
convince court of law is a matter of guess: that
It convinces Professor Lowell and Is influencing

The Tribune will realize that astronomy like the
medical profession. IS highly specialized and
that the opinion OF A in line not au-

Zone OF the most convenient sources of in
formation about SchapareIIrs work and beliefs

the analogy between the growth and shrinkags

doubling OF the canals a seasonal occurrence he
