TnE DlrLoMArIc APPOINTMENTS - Mr..
BELMoNT-Tho New York Mirror com.
ncnds several OF tho recent appointments
to foreign POSTS very highly, but says of Mr.
Belmont:
"Of The propriely Of Mr.. BeImonl's ap-
pointmenl there will DO n strong difference
of opinion. An Austrian by birth; ; Jew
by blood; an arstocral by position, if moi
by nature; and, worse than all, million
aire, the 'unwashcd Democracy will be
apt TO insist that the appointment of the late
Austrian Consul as American Charge des
Affnires TO the Hague is not exactly in ac-
cordance with the eternal fitness of things,
but they should no, forget where the snews
Of war came from 10 helr them along in the

in the country. Including his last flock we
