RAID on THE C0YsULAR SERyIcE.

The Administration is rapidly breaking up
the best Consular service the country has ever
had. One of its latest experiments is the re-
moval of Colonel s. ii. NJ. Byers, Consul
General at Rome, to make room for Mr. Alden,
of The Ne,C- York Times Colonel Byers is a
brave soldier who served in the Union army
and on this account made himself obnoxious to
Secretary Bayard and the present Administra-
ton He was appointed Consul at Zurich,
Switzerland, in 1871, and speedily distinguished
himself as a most faithful, energetic and bust
ness-like official. After acquiring a thorough
acquaintance with the German and Italian Ian
guages, he was promoted year ago to the Office
of Consnl-General at Rome. He possessed
special qualifications for this post. He had
made an exhaustive study of German, Swiss
and Italian exports to the United States he
had exact knowledge of the details and qualities
and values of articles shipped from Italian
ports to America; and he was thoroughly con-
versant with the general commercial interests
of the two countries. Fourteen years of expert
ence have trained him for the discharge of the

THE SILVER MEN WANT A SCALP.


Mr.. Burchard, the Director of the Mint, is
likely to be turned ont, it 10 said. He claims
that he was appointed for fixed term which
has not yet expired, and that the President has
therefore no power to remove him. 1t Is stated
that his resignation has already been asked,
but that he has not thought it consistent with
his public duty to relieve the Democratic party
from embarrassment by rendering it. There
upon Democratic reports state that he will
presently be suspended, and an effort is
being made to get up charges respecting the
management of the Office in order TO furnish a
pretext for his suspension. Mr.. Burchard Is
probably: aware that the. Senate will take
occasion to look into charges of that descrip-
ton, where they are obviously made for the
purpose Of getting Republicans out of Office and
furnishing places for Democratic aspirants.
1t would be well for Mr.. Cleveland to con-
slider one fact before acting in this matter.

penter case encourages the belief that the prls-
oner will reap no greater advantage than he Is
in law and humanity entitled to from his
assault on himself in the Tombs. The injuries
which the man inflicted 7On himself are thrilling
and all the circumstances indicate that his pur-
pose was rather to lengthen than to cuTtall
his lease of life. Though Carpenter may not
profit by his act, it is to be hoped that the re-
sponsibiity for his possession of a knife will be
placed where it belongs. The dignity of the

The facts disclosed by the examination of
four persons charged with the murder of a
colored couple in Darke County, Ohio. are such
as almost to make one think.that the shotgun
habits of the South had somehow oeen trans
planted to one of the most tolerant and en-
lightened Northern States. 1t is not an Ohio
custom to shoot down fleeing blacks like wild
beasts, and now that the evidence points to the
guilt of the men who have been arrested we
can rest in the conviction that outraged public
sentiment will see that justice is promptly and
completely satisfied.

An utterly grievous state of affairs among the
Southern Senators is described in letter from
Washington printed in The TRIBUNE this
morning This is sad. The Senators should
bear in mind the moral of the story of the three
little bugs in basket who fell to quarrelline
about the crumbs. If the patronage doesn't
reach around, they had better share what comes
of bread and crumbs and leave no little bug in
the cold. 1t is every bit as good and beautiful
a thing for brethren to dwell together in pros
perity as in adversely.

Senator Mcpherson, of New-Jersey. replies to the
attacks madeupon him by The Trenton True American
with unusual heat. He says with truth that 1t has
not been his habit to defend himself, and perhaps
for that very reason when he does boil over, the
ebulliton is more noticeable and suggestive. In
general way, his reply is the simple one that the
statements made are lies Bat his adversares will
not be slow to note that there is moro of assertion
than of proof in his observatonsa nd that his state
ments of his own services to his party are not much
restrained by any fear of ng 10 do injustice to
other Democratic leaders. Thus he says: From

lutely of the Democratic politics of the State"

this remark Is a personal aGrOnt And some will be
pretty certain 10 reply that If Others had not been
in charge and had not taken Mr. Mcpherson by the
nape of the neck 50 TO speak. during the last cam
paign. the results in New-Jersey m ght not have
been satisfactory to Democrats. Respecting per-
sonal matters, however, he replies to charges
against him by citing in addition to his own denial
a letter from Mr. Rushing, which was published last
January. Tho Senator seems to be disposed to
praise President Cleveland for his course in the
matter of the appointments, and it would be really
ungencrous if be did not Besides. II would be UNI

The Canadian fishermen at least will rejoice
over the temporary diplomatic agreement which
extends for six months the fishery clauses OF
the treaty of 1871 with Great Britain. This
course will no doubt avoid difficulties which
might otherwise ARISE from the termination of
the treaty in the midst of the fishing season.
The Canadians have been FESTIVE under the
prospect of having to pay duty on their fish, for
which they find market on this side of the
line. If the Administration intends to renew
the treaty it ought not to delay consideration
of the matter. The desire for its renewal how
ever, comes principally from the Canadians.
