! PARIS, Dec. 30.-In the selection OF foraisn
| Ministers there Ia much more to be considered
than their ability to accomplish with wisdom and
discretion the bus1nsss OF state With which they
arc intrusted. 1t is not by any means an rntre-
quent occurrence that = man Of rough extanor
can and does carry his party or. country through
delicate crisin With unqualified snccoss but
| the life OF = Minister is 80 even, and ofteu sn-
important, that the opportunity to distinguish
himself by wise diplomacy comes only oace in 3
great While. II il something like being struck
by lightning. When the lightning does strike,
all eyes are turned towards tho poor victim And,
in the case Of foreign Minister, the lightning
often serves to bring him from darkness into
light. It is often the first time that the people
Of the United States have thought Of him, while
many do not even know his mama. Admitting
tho possibility OF
| DIPLOMATIC LIGHTNING,
tho diplomatlst should b. ready for tho stroke.
! It ia, first, most essential that be should b =
wise man afterwaru, We would ask that he
should be gentleman. For our Minister rep-
Tesents us socially "a we'll ~ politically. We
have Jet to make our reputation for po1itsness !;
foreigners by no meaus givo us = good character
socially; and our Own countrymeu, when they
allow themselves to be just, remark tho differ
