WANTS TO ABOLISH 1T.

In q recent editorial the New York
Herald rose to remark that: "Our
diplomatic service has gradually be-
come a permanent and vulnerable
target for the scarcely concealed sar-
casm and ridicule of European CAPT.
tails. The wisest thing to do would
be to abolish the whole service" To
which the Minneapolis Tribune says:
Ana We rise to remark that the
Herald struck the nail on the head
with a dull. sickening thud. 1t is a
played out farce to have this country
represented in the diplomatic circles
OF Europe by men, for the most part,
placed in their positions by political
influence, and Is little acquainted
with the subtle byways of diplomacy
as a cowboy with the figures of the
German. America, in this respect.
is the laughing stock of the efete des-
potisms of the old world, and it would
be much better for our national Dig
nifty to abolish the alleged diplomatic
service than to suffer this deroea-
tiOn."
With Lowell and Sargent and a
half score more Of examples before
them, these journals have just found
out what an insufferable lot of min.
comp"ops the Republican party has
been sending abroad during the past
twenty years to represent this coun-
try at foreign courts. Let us try
awhile before we abolish
the service.

New York World: One of the
Washington papers chronicles q
movement at the capital to organize
a cavalry company to be known as
the Presidents Mounted Gusrds.n
The scheme. as announced, includes
the adoption of I" snowy uniform,

sabre, making it a striking feature in
the military organization of the Dis
trlct." No doubt 1t would be-the
programme pre- iicts it. But however
gratifying a show of this sort uipbt

as his public and private record con-
vincingly proved. But in the face
OF such facts 5,o00, 600 voters, includ-

MR.. BLAINE EXPLAINS.

MI. Blaine wishes 1t understood
that he has had: no interview with
Mr.. ,Conkling or with anyone else
intended for the public ear, and
desires his friends to discredit re-
ports to the contrary. Whenever he
desires to communicate with the
public he will do SO over his own
signature. ALI of which Is perfectly
proper for Mr.. Blaine to say and
should be needed by the public. But
as long as Mr.. Blaine's friends keep
him before the eyes of the nation by
calling upon him to make Augusta
speeches the gentleman must expect
to be criticised and very harshl7 too.
MI. Blaine is now a private citizen
and as such his privacy should be
respected. Will his adherents recog-
nize that fact and leave him to con-
tinue the writing of his book in
peace? If so his name will seldom
be mentioned in connection with
politics. Give Mr.. Blaine q rest.
