Useless Foreign Missions.

From the St. Panl Dispatch.
Those who advocate the abolition of
our system of foreign missions have
conclusive practical demonstration of
the correctness of their arguments. The
reasonableness of the reform has never
been seriously contested by reason. Its
opposition has always been stolidity.
"Every government has foreign minis
ters, we have always had them, why
should we be different from 9TH
ers?' Because we have no use for such
officers. Mr.. Stoughton, our last minis
ter to Russia, says that the work Of his
Office did not require a weeks time in
year, and the only advantage of retaining:
a residen minister was in his learning
the temper of the government and the
people, so as to be better prepared than a
stranger if there should be real work to
do. Close behind this evidence stands
demonstration, actual operation of re-
form, an existing condition which tests
all speculation. For months we have
had no minister in England Or Russia.
We have saved a. hundred dollars day
and lost nothing, either visible or con-
ceivable. All our relations have been
maintained and onr business carried on
as fully as if we had all the time had
legation in all the pomp of its plenipo-
Tertiary and attaches. These vacancies
and their complete harmlessness settle
the question of the practicability of do.
ing without foreign ministers. 1t really
needed no further settlement than reason
could make with reasonable men, but
politicians, hungry for money and Off
cial distinction, are not reasonable men.
There isnot a rational being in the Union
who can, in the face of the empty Eng
land and Russian missions, contend that
we have any more need of them, or any
of their kind, than an iceberg has of an
ice house. There is the fact as big as
hundred dollars day, and it defes re-
sistance and invites scrutiny. If the
matter concerned the private business of
member of Congress he would not stop
moment to rid himself of so useless an
incumbrance. But it concerns the peo-
pie only. The wasted money comes out
of their pockets. Frequently it goes in
to the pockets of his friends, or those
upon whom he may count for reciprocal
service, and he will not move an inch to
disturb their wellpaid uselessness. So,
in the teeth of tact, in spite Of demon
stration, the foreign missions remain and
will remain for many year to tax the
treasury, reward partisan service, and
illustrate the disinclination of mankind
to rub off spot of dirt so long worn that
its dirtiness is forgotten in its familiar
ity.

Eornev's Life of Gen. Hancock.

Il is a singular fact that the most
eulogistic and exhaustive campaign
biography of Gen. Hancock should he
written by one whose pen and tongue
for years have done the most signal SER
vice for the Republican party. Col.
John w. Forney, of Philadelphia, whose
reputation as graceful and forcibla
writer and man of letters, is so we'll
known both in this country and Europe.
pet of republican administrations, and
most of the time an Office holder for 20
years, has not only severed his connec-
ton with the Garfield crowd, but has
thrown all his ability and enthusiasm
into the campaign for the Democratic
candidate; the most important service
of which is full and exhaustive life of
Gen. Hancock. It is destined to high
rank as campaign biography.
Though different in politics, the author
and the subject have been intimate life
long friends, and Col. Forney has per-
sonal knowledge of most ofthe brilliant
achievements of Gen. Hancock and Of
all LUo clICuiuSLduCoS COu1aSS1oo VIII
them. Added to this, Gen Hancock
has so approved his works as to place at
his disposal his personal memoranda,
correspondence, official and private pa
pers. With such facilities the work
will be absolutely full and authentic,
the standard on the subject.
AS a biographer, Col. Forney will be
to Gen. Hancock what Boswell was to
johnson, Lockhart to Walter Scott, or
Abbot to Bonaparte. It is Labor Of
Love-" actuated by a grand enthusiasm
and carried out with degree Of ability
and grace that will place it in the front
rank of American biographies.
The career of the brilliant soldier,
with an army record extending through
35 years, is worthy of such a pen. 1t
is full of event and is soon to be crown
ed by the more important one Of a
transfer to the White House, which will
make the book one of permanent value.
1t will be sold by subscription and will
surely meet with a large sale.
