DIPLOMATIC REFORM.

In an article defending the policy OF our
government in keeping up its diplomatic
CORDS which is published in this mornings
GLOBE the Hon. G. c. ANDREWS quotes
President PIERcE's definition Of the design
of diplomatic work in support of his argu-
ment. Mr.. PIERcE's definition that 1.-The
object of diplomatic missions is to adjust
differences and conduct affairs between
governments in regard to their political and
commercial relations" had an application in
his day that it does not have at this time.
That was before the days of the submarine
telegraph or of fast steamers. Then it re-
quired from six TO eight weeks to
send a message from Washington to
London and get reply. Now it only
takes as many seconds as it formerly required
weeks 10 correspond with foreign govern
ments. So far as relates to matters of di
plOmacy, the secretary of state can sit in
his Office in the state department at Wash
ington and be the nations representative at
all the important courts of the world. In
cases of special emergency, where it required
q representative of the government 10 APP
pear in person at any particular court, it
will only take few days to have him there.
But in addition to this fact, it must be
remembered that the United States has its
cansuls and commercial agents in every city
in the world, rendering still more unnecessary
the presence of ambassadors, ENJOYS eXtraOr-
binary and ministers plenipOtentiary with
their high-sounding title and hifalutin' man
ners. Take for illustration the city Of
London. There the United States is repre-
scented by both a minister and consul gen.
eral. And yet Consul General WALLER
does more work in one day than Minister
PHELPS will do in four years. All Of our
commercial interests are looked after by the
consul general, while all the political inter
ests could be as satisfactorily taken care Of
by Secretary BAYARD at Washington as by
Minister PHELPS at London. There is
nothing that Mr.. PHELPS does that could
not be done as creditably to our government
by Consul General WALLER. And
what is true OF London is equally
true of Paris, Berlin. Vienna, or
any of the courts of Europe or Asia.
This being so we fail to see the necessity
for the government to incur the expense of
keeping up these sinecure places. The dig
nifty of our republic is not of that farcical
kind which has to be maintained by ridicu-
lous efforts to ape the customs of decaying
monarchies. Our institutions are peculiar
and so is our dignity. AS our system OF
government is different from that of every
other nation of the world, so it is we want
to reform and reconstruct our diplomatic
policy on purely American basis.

The Interest Excursions.

Carnival headquarters in the Ryan was
deserted last night, the room was dark and
the door was locked. About all those
usually to be found there had gone on one
of the excursions. The scene at head
quarters was about typical of the carnival
festivities in the city yesterday afternoon.
They were not observed in the city but at
MankatO, Faribault. Litchield and on the
trains between St. Paul and those points.
Work progressed quite rapidly at the pal
ace and good deal was accomplished in
preparing the arches and other outside at
fractions. Ii it were possible the eXcur-
siOns only increased the general interes
that is taken in the coming events.

CALIFORNIA frhit-growers who were trying

siderable impartiality, after all.

Too Much Expense.

The state of Texas doesn't yearn for an
extra session Of the legislature. They cost
too much in proportion TO the benefit to be
derived from them OF course. everybody
would be glad TO have the legislature save
the country from the impending revival
OF fence cutting, but not at such a heavy
expense.
As the convalescent patient said to the
doctor when an eXtrayagant bill was pre-
scented:
What's the use of your saving my life If
you shove bill at me, afterwards so big
that worry myself TO death over it."
