MIXING THE CoySULs USEFUL.

IF Secretary Evarts is looking for OppOrtuni-
ties to introduce reforms in the Consular Service,
it ia to be hoped that he will consider the
practicability of making the COnsuls useful to
the business interests of the country. They
are essentially commercial officers, and might,
if capable men and properly instructed,
do a great deal to introduce American manu-
features in the localities where they are sta
toned. Their reports have heretofore been
allowed TO gather dust for months in the files
of the State Department, and have then been
sent to the Public Printer, to appear,
when over a year old, in the bulky and
never-read volumes of Diplomatic Core
spondence. Sometimes these reports would
be of great value to the mercantile community
if promptly printed. AS it is, they are worth
less. If the Consuls made it their business to
communicate promptly all important changes
in the prices of commodities, and to
keep their eyes open for opportunities
for increasing American commerce with
the ports where they reside, they would
become invaluable agencies III enlarS-
ing our export trade. The British Government
has long made its Consular representatives
very seryceable in this direction. 1t is an
IMPORTANT part of their duties to take vigilant
care of the commercial interests OF their country
men, and to report promptly every piece OF
information which it might be for the advan-
tage of the commercial public at home to know.
For many years there has not been as favor
able ali occasion for increasing the sale OF
American goods in the markets of the world as
at present. The excellence of orr manufactures
was made known to foreign countries by the
reports of the Commissioners to the Centen'
nial Exhibition, and the heavy decline
in wages and in the prices of material
has SO reduced their cost that they can
now come into active competition with
the products of the great manufacturing
nations of Europe. What is needed now
is active, intelligent effort to bring to the
notice of consumers all over the world such
articles as are better and cheaper than those
they are now buying from English, French or
German merchants. Our Consuls ought to as
certain where such effort promises to be sue
cessful, and their information, communicated
to the State Department should be promptly
gwen to the public.

THE MEXICAN HATTER.

Nearly month since, the policy to be pur-
sued by the Government in relation to Mexican
outrages upon our frontiers was announced
by our Washington correspondent. He gave
also the duasi-oflicial declaration of Secretary
McCrary that the Administration "d did not
want any of the soil or population of Mexico -
it was merely determined that " the raids
across the Rio Grande border should stop"
An aggressive policy towards Mexico" was
with equal emphasis disowned. But Inter-
national relations are so often affected by
unforeseen accidents and occurrences in them
selves trihing, that it would be rash positively
to predict a pacific arrangement of our
present misunderstanding with Mexico. If
one Power is out of temper and unreason
able. or if either is DESTROYS of war for
sinister reasons, hostile mischance for mis-
chief is among the probabilities But we
cannot for an instant indulge in such forebod-
ings. Our own Government is hardly likely to
undertake more than steady maintenance of
a position sanctioned by venerable usage, and
by wel-acceptcd principles of public law. In
deed, we seem inclined to claim scarcely so
much as that law would sanction. The de-
Tense of its own frontier by all legit-
innate means is so clearly duty of the
Government of the United States, that the
Mexican authorities for the time being are not
likely To resent it, most certainly they are
in no position to do SO eilectuslly. The in
strnctions of the Mexican Minister of War to
Cen. Treyino, it must be admitted, are some
what menacing, and would seem to render any
pacific cooperation of the American and Next
can troops for the protection of our territory
impossible. But, fairly considered, the position
of the Mexican Minister is one which he will
find it impossible to maintain. The wrongs
for which our own Government seeks redress
are such as no civilized State would submit to,
except upon compulsion. The Mexican author
tiles, if they have proved themselves incom-
potent to protect us from Mexican robbers and
outlaws. cannot legitimately complain if We
take measures to protect ourselves. Big words
amount to nothing, and mere bulyingis not likely
to fill the Washington Cabinet with dismay
In some of our former difficulties with Mexico
, we have not been exactly in the right now
| We happen to be precisely 30. The question is

pfrSTNFSS CRISIS

Everybody is anxious to forecast the future
of trade and industry. But the task, always
difficult, is now rendered more difficult than
ever. Business waits with bated breath for the
Secretary of the Treasury, for the latest news
from Europe, and for returns from the ripen-
ing crops. Shrewd men are not deceived by
the squirt of rising prices in the Stock Ex-
change, for they understand that the market
is confined to spectators whose ventures are
based, not upon calculation of future pros
perity of railways, but upon their supposed
ability TO put stocks up for a week or month,
as their interests may dictate, and then leave
other SPECTATORS and deluded outsiders to
face the reaction and bear the loss. Whether
thew are in error, even in this narrow estimate,
is not certain. but it is not matter of public
consequence. 1t is only important to know
that the midsummer madness of q July rise in
the Stock Market does not reflect any intelli-
gent estimate of the future for trade or indus
try. The best that can be done, perhaps is to
group the more important influences likely to
control future financial movements, and to con-
slider their probable effects.
]. The Treasury has yet to determine what
proportion of six per cent bonds, Of gold. and
of legal tenders, it will receive ID payment for
over eighty five millions of four per cent
bonds. AS was explained yesterday, the deci-
sion may either make gold exceedingly scarce
and high, or cause an unusually rapid and
sharp withdrawal of legal tenders. For mere
withdrawal of surplus and idle notes. the
business community can easily prepare, if
fairly warned, but withdrawal which would
in that case cause no serious Inconvenience
mighC result in great disasters if precipitated
suddenly and unexpectedly upon the country.
Obviously, it will not answer for the Secre-
tary to bind himself to sell so much gold and
no more. for he would thus open the door to a
gigantic speculation Of ruinous effect. But he
can say, if he will, that he means TO sell gold
enough, and often enough, to prevent any
stringcncy in the gold market, and to avoid
putting up the price. We believe that he
ought to 20 farther and assure the business
community that be means TO sell gold enough,
and to accumulate legal tenders enough to put
down the premium materially, and to prepare
for resumption.
III. Meanwhile, unusually large crops are
generally expected. Some uncertainty as to
the magnitude of the grain crops will con-
tinue for several weeks, but there is no clear
reason to doubt that the aggregate yield will
be full or that the demand for currency to be
used in moving the crops Will be quite az
laIRe as usual. The war in Europe promises

the Democratic party aspres to be respect
able. il may be set down for TACT that
1t despairs of the opportunity TO De
ANYTHING else. The nomination OF Mr.
Adams by the Massachusetts, Democrats last
wear was very inspiring spectacle. 1t was
part of the masquerade of reform, and was
rather better kept up than most OF the o'her
parts in the performance. 1t was gratifying
to Mr.. Adams, of course, to be finally nolll-
mated for something outside OF Springfield J;
il pleased Mr.. Tilden to walk to defeat arm
in-arm with so dignifed parsonage, ana as
to the rank and file, they couldn't have teit
more proud sitting in carriages behind hearse
with six horses covered all over with plumes
1t was n stately if not an enthusiastic
procession. And now this year they are talk
ing of putting up Mr.. Adams again. In oppo-
sitlon to the suggestion, 1t is SAID that MI
CASTOR or Mr.. Abbott can poll more Votes;
but what does that signify, when either one
of them, or anybody else they might nominate
is sure of being overwhelmed by the OPPOSE
ton Mr.. Adams is used to it. He represents
tho "lift,r and all that sort of thing ana
what is more, he has given expression 10 inc
only remaining Democratic doctrine, TO wit /:
Oh his forehead lie accentuates and empha-
sizes the new departure of the party, ana
whatever the party may do in Massachusetts,
there is good reason to believe that MIR. I'll
den and Col. Pelton will rally round HIM as
one man.
Wherefore, we say, the talk about Mr..
Adams-even the very dim and shadowy pos
sibity of his being voted for in the Conyen-
tion-brings to us encouragement and hope.
We have sometimes feared that the time
would come when Mr.. Adams might not DE
talked of regularly for all the various offices
in the gift of the people. Thank Heaven that
period seems now far distant. May we be pre-
served from such calamity. For we can
conceive of nothing more diseouraging to the
true patriot than to have an election come
and go without that honored name being pre-
scpted. True, worse things might happen If
he should ever be elected to anything; but let
us joyfully recognize the fact that that is sim
ply impossible.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS FOR GOVERNOR.
All is not lost There is still some talk of
nominating Charles Francis Adams for Cover
nor of Massachusetts,. Democratic talk, of
course: and of that kind of nomination and
in Massachusetts. Greater uncertainty or un-
satisfactoriness could hardly be conceived than
is conveyed in these three qualities pertaining
to the talk. For there is nothing in this life
more uncertain than Democratic talk: nothing
more intangible and unreal than Democratic
nomination nothing so meaningless and unsatls-
factory under any ordinary circumstances as a
Democratic nomination for Governor of Massa-
cbusetts And yet we say confidently that this
Democratic talk is hopeful sign. We are in the
habit of so constituting the nomination of Mr.. Adj
ans for impossible offices, and We take the same
hopeful view of the vague talk about his improba
BILE nomination for an impossible Office. For it is
sign in the first place that the Democracy
has pretty much abandoned hope for the time
beng. There has been first and last a great
deal of talk about nominating Mr.. Adams for
something. We mean a great deal besides the
regular thing at Springfield. Mass, where it is
so regular and continuous that il does not
count And it has always been noticed that
nobody has ever yet ventured 10 nominate
him or suggest his nomination when the stu
alton contained the rem0test possible cOntin-
gency of his election. When anybody has
said at seems to me that the nomination of
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams would be very
proper at this crisis" the suffers understand
the drift OF things at once, and begin packing
I'D to 20 to the rear. 1t means a retreat.
In this regard Mr.. Adamss name is one
of the greatest conveniences of modern times.
1t saves surrender, and il lends respectabllity
| to defeat. When a physician suggests to his
patient that it might be well to send for 10
| priest, he does not need to communicate his
opinion as to the patients condition. When
| the Democracy talks Of sending for Mr.. Adams,
further inquiries rs to the party prospects are
unnecessary. We consequently rejoice to see
! that MIR. Adams is again i" talked Of" 1t shows
that the Democracy is so far gone as to want
! to appear respectable.
Mr.. Adams represents in our politics the
the-well there are phrases kept standing on the
galleys in Springfeld--whole columns of them,
which describe with great accuracy and force
what Mr.. Adams represents; but the only
thing that we distinctly remember about them
is that he represents the-sort- of general
! lift under the whole body of our politics-thc
aspiration toward responsibility, so to speak
HIS name and his nomination convey this gen
eral notion, and this is conclusive IA to the
! other Interpretation put upon them for when
