4 the distribution of patronage,

in the distribution of patronage, or
the shaping and direction of its
policy; suppose the senator is entirely free
from any revengeful or personal animosity
in the sentiments he has now published to
the world, the question is certainly per
tinent as to how long he has known the
facts which he states, and if they are of
the damning character asserted why has
he remained so long silent and without
uttering any public protest against the in
fanny which has been perpetrated,
Whatever influences may have con
strained him to silence thus far, be has
spoken too publicly, and said by far too
much, not to render it imperative upon
him to go further and to let the nation
know all that he knows, and all that his
position and eminent personal abilities will
enable him to ascertain. The nation as
such. and without regard to party claims
or party measures, has deep and imperi-
GUS interest in knowing whether or not

Importance of our Consular Servi,

Importance Of our Consular Service
There is one division of the civil service
In which all ship-owners and business men
connected with foreign countries and trade
have direct and special interest. This
is the consular division. Consuls, exerci-
sing their functions in foreign countries,
acting under the watchful eyes of foreign
states and peoples, should, both In their
private and official character, truly repre-
sent the honor, responsibility. and integ-
rity Of their country. In their selection
reference should also be had to the nature
of the duties required at the various con-
sRlates to which they may be appointed.
No man should be sent as consul to ma
rhine port, where an important and per
haps the largest part of his labor will be
to perform such duties as the laws, usages,
and consular regulations require of him
in regard to American shipping and all
who sail under its flag, who is not tolera-
bly, familiar with shipping, its laws and
