The hurricane of Friday week pro-
badly did more mischief on land than
any storm that has passed over Eng
land for many years. At sea, though
destructive enough, it does not ap-
pear to have been quite SO destructive
as the storm which occurred just "a
year previously. But no storm of
wind that we can remember within
the last ten years has torn up SO many
trees, blown down so many walls and
chimneys and skylights, caused SO
many fatal accidents on land, and
stripped the trees SO largely Of their
lovely autumn dress. In Windsor
Park alone there must be a hundred
Eoble trees down, to say the least,
without counting, Of course, the innu-
merable branches, and we fear that
thatnumber is much beneath the mark.
Nor is it a trifing loss to have all the
glow Of autumn stripped SO prema-
turely from the woods, and the coming
of winter ~nakedness fastened by
many days, if not indeed some
weeks.

derable amounts of property were
stolen out of the shops. The shop
keepers are now, therefore, %convinc-
ed that police are useful; and it is
proposed, half in jest and half in
earnest, that the gentlemen OF the
deputation to Mr.. Forster sIiall make
good the damage, instead Of the
municipality. At Limerick, the riot
ing was more serious, many police
men being wounded, and about
eighty citizens, chiefly by the char
ges Of the police; but though the
Scots Greys were called out and
cleared one street, no lives were
taken by the military and by the
latest accounts the riotous spirit had
subsidized, the roughs having become
aware that the Government is deter
mined to restore order. AS a rule,
anarchy of this sort seldom ends till
life has been taken but that evil
may this time be avoided, as the
cities are garrisoned by irresistible
force, and the people are not prcpar-
ed to resist the cavalry. Cavalry UNI
resisted rarely take life, as the IN
fantry are compelled to.
On October 18th 1881, Lord Corn
wallis surrendered, with the British
Army, at Yorktown, Virginia, and so
virtually terminated the war between
Great Britain and the United States.
The Americans, who recoilect their
own history, have this week celebra-
ted a grand national festival, or cen
tenary, in honour of this event,
which terminated in the following
General Order by President Arthur
-"In recognition of the friendly rela-
tons so long and $ happily subsls-
ting between Great Britain and the
United States, in trust and confidence
OF peace and good will between the
two countries for all centuries to
come, and especially as u mark OF the
profound respect entertained by the
American people for the illustrlons
Sovereign and gracious lady who sits
anon the British Throne, 1t is hereby

ceremonies, commemorative OF the
valour and success Of II forefatherS
in their patriotic struggle for i~ndepen-
dence. the British flag shall he salu-
ted by the forces of the Army and
Navy of the United States now at
Yorktown" That order is most
graceful, and will be felt SO by every
man in England. There is something
almost beyond imagination in the
victors of Yorktown, on the anniver-
sary of the very darkest day in Bri-
fish annals, saluting with all military
honours the British flag. Issued, too,
as it is, in the midst Of the Irish
turmoil, the order may teach Irish
men how little they have to expect
from America, and Englishmen how
little difficulties signify, when they
do not debase the national character.
What is all that has happened or
that can happen in Ireland, to the

Apparent Cali Bey) and the Tunisian
troops,-a piece Of madncss unless he
is morally sure of sustaining no re-
verse. His march Of ten days will, it
is said be impeded by incessant
attacks but the city itself will not
be defended, the Arabs expecting an
early retreat, and thinking, if it is not
made, that an insurrection in the
streets will embarass the French more
han a previous resistance. An lndi-
an General in General Saussier's
place, would, we think, d~istrustthis cut
and-dry programme all through. He
would expect that ifthe force were SO
small, the Arabs would resist dasper-
ately on the road, that some kind of
trap would be arranged in the city for
the Europeans, that on the first re-
verse the Tunisians would revolt, and
that he himself might have to fight
his way back through swarming
horxemen. We shall see but we
suspect treachery, and should like to
know how far native Arabs control
the supply Of water in kairouan.

The march of the French from
Tunis to Kairouan commenced on
the 18th inst, but it is most difficult
to understand the French position.
In spite of the immense reinforce
ments, SO many troops are in hospi-
tai, so many occupied in garrlsoning
Tunis, and so many in defending *
posed places, that it is believed Gen
eral Saussier, when he arrives before
the Holy City, will have. only 5000

OUR FOREIGN CoNsuLs.

Civil service reform Is greatly
needed in our system of appointment
to foreign consulates. When COM
pared with other nations the diplo-
matte corps of the United States lacks
dignity, character and ability. An
observant correspondent, who had
rare opportunities for judging, re-
Gently declared that taken as whole
the body of American consuls abroad
compared unfavorably with those of
the smallest European nationality.
This statement does not apply to
the incumbents of our first-class
foreign missions. James Russell Lowell
who is minister to the Court of st.
James, Minister White, at Berlin,
and Levi p. Morton, who holds the
French mission, are all gentlemen of
ability, culture and refinement, and
no doubt able and respected represen-
tatives of our government.
1t is when the smaller consulates
are examined that our diplomatic
service is seen in its most unfavorable
light. The greater portion of our
consuls possess neither the experience
or training for the duties of their
position. Many of them have never
been in the public service
in any capacity whatever. The fact
that their appointment is only for a
limited term of years and that the ex-
piration of that period will probably
witness a successor installed in their
position forbids any incentive towards
acquiring that experience which would
prove most valuable to the state de-
partment and the government which
they represent. The absence of any
system OF diplomatic promotion re-
moves another incentive to the accept
ance of the consulate by first-class men.
Our consulates have, in short, be-
come the mere rewards of party
fidelity to be filed more according to
the political necessities of the sena-
tors than with a due regard to the
best interests of the government.
In marked contrast to the plan
pursued by our government, is the
method of diplomatic training and
education which prevails in the older
countries of Europe. There the
foreign office, corresponding to our
state department, furnishes from its
employees the incumbents of the con-
sulates in other countries. Trained
from young men to knowl-
edge of diplomacy, and ex-
perienced in watching and reporting
all movements in other countries
which may bear upon the interests OF
their own, they became valuable and
integral parts of the government
whose services cannot be replaced by
men less experienced and without
training. There is, moreover, regu.
lar gradation Of promotion. Merit il
Omaha daily bee., 1881-07-23

rewarded with advancement and the
consul of twenty years ago if found
competent fills high position OF trust
as minister or ambassador.
While it is undoubtedly true that
the ocean steamer, the railway
and more than all the telegraph and
cable has revolutlonized diplomacy by
bringing the subordinates into quick
communication with the centre of
government, it is unlikely that any ma
ton could dispense with its represen-
tative in foreign lands. There will
always remain outside of any political
complications sufficient CONNER ,ial
interests to call for large
number of consulates and an able
corps of incumbents. This be-
ing 80 it is highly important
that unfavorable comparisons should
continue to be drawn between the
consuls of the United States and
those of other nations. If the nomi-
nations for our representatives abroad
lay with the department of state and
a sure system of promotion was
brought into active operation, and Sc
cure tenure of office guaranteed to the
ncumbents of our diplomatic offices,
our country would have less cause to
complain of her foreign consuls.
