SECRETARY BAYARD did not intend that the
appointment of Judge Manning as minister to
Mexico should be made public just at this
juncture but the Judge could not keep the
secret. The great trouble with nearly all of
the Bayard appointees has been their ten
dency to garrulousness. He should at once
establish civil-service examination for the
purpose of testing the qualifications of would
be diplomates. It might be necessary to
preface this by the organization of school
where the aspirants could be taught that the
