Cur Late Minister at Paris.

The death of the Hon. John 7. Mason,
American Minister to France, although
unexpectedly announced, will not create
great surprise in this country. lis
health has been seriously impaired for
some time past, SO much SO that his re-
tirement from his position was at one
time confidently expected, and the ma
ture of his affection paralysis such as
to justify the anticipation Of his d~ccease
at any time.
Mr. Mason was not a very old man,
having reached only his sixty fourth
year. lie has been long in public life,
and, although not a brilliant statesman,
has maintained 8 highly respectable
rank among the public men Of the day.
A Virginian by birth, and a lifelong res.
ident, he has held a prominent position
in his native State and for many years
has been actively connected with the
| Administration Of the General Govern
ment. He was a representative III Con
gress from 1881 to 1887. During the
latter part Of Mr., Tylcr's Administration
he held a seat in the Cabinet as oecreta-
ry of the Navy, and also held the same
position during the greater part of Mr..
Folks term, having been transferred
from the post Of Attorney General to the
Navy Department in 1916.
Mr.. Mason has represented this oEn
try at the TuiIeries since the accession
of President Pierce in 1854 period Of
six years-during which time he has
very crcditably discharged the duties,
seldom irksome o. iaborious, of the po-
sition. It is probable that had our re-
lations with France been Of a character
to require great mental or physical APP
.plication, he would have felt compelled,
on account of i'll health, to resign; but
the President has not been disposed, So
long as Mr.. Mason could continue salts
factorily to discharge his duties, to name
a successor. Death, that memorable ar
bitter, has, however, suddenly created a
vacancy which must o he filed from
among the leading statesmen of the De
nocratlc party.
These is already much speculation as
to the appointment of a successor to Mr..
Mason, and we may expect a tloed OF
me until the selection is made. There
are doubtless many gentlemen who will
a~nxiousIy await the Presidents action,
and who would be willing to serve their
country IN that honorable position. We
do not give much credit to the sugges-
ton that either Secretary Floyd or Sec
rotary Cobb will be transferred to a for
eign mission, since there can be little
doubt that the President is anxious to
keep his Cabinet together throughout
the full term, without change, Should
Mr.. Floyd, however, be selected, the
name Of Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, Of
Virginia, has been spoken of for Score
tary Of War, and in the event Of Mr..
Cobb leaving the Treasury Department,
there is a strong probability that Hon.
Erastus Corning, of n. Y, would be in
vited to assume lis duties. Probably
no name will be more prominent for the
French Mission than that of Hon. John
A. Dix. But the matter rests solely
with the President, who alone will be
charged with the responsibility Of the
select!on.-Jouraa5 Of Commerce.

ance we touch that subject, seeing that
the future prospect 81 the present crop
is growing from bad to worse. With
drought, frost. and continued dry wealth
or, but little over half crop will be re-
allied in this parish. Hence, it is of
no use to count on more than eight
