To-Day is the fifty.ilrst anniversary
of the mobbing Of William Lloyd Gar
rison in the streets of Boston. Wonder
ful, almost to a phenomenal degree, is
the revolution that has since been
wrought. No half century in the.
worlds history embodies such a record
of change and progress as these fifty
years have witnessed in the United
States. Yet the identical prejuiices
that eliminated in the assault on Gar
rison in 1885 are discerniblc in
modified form in 1886, and in Boston
as well as Richmond 1t will take fifty
years more TO fully eliminate them
from the public sentiment Of the coun-
try and complete the revolution.

Republicans had It all their own way

most effective use they could of their

aG INCREASED COMPENSATION URGED. z
Pursuant 70 a provision Of the diplomatio and
consular appropriation act, approved July /,
1856. tho estimates submitted BY the secretary
Of state for the maintenance of the consular
service have been reoast on the basis Of salaries
for all officers to whom such allowance Is deemed
advisable. Advantage has been taken of this to
redfstribute the salaries of the officers now ap-
Hproprtated for in accordance with the work pGr-
formed, the Importance of tho representative
at each post. Tho last consideration has been
Too often lost sight of In the Allowance hereto
fore made. The COMPENSATION which may suffice
Tor the decent maintenance Of a worthy and ca
pablo ott1cer in position Of onerous and repre-
sentative trust at a post readily ACCESSIBLE. and
where The necessartess of life are abundant and
cheap, may, prove an inadequate; pittanoe in
distant lands where the better part of a years
pay Is consumed in reaching the post Of
duty, and where the comforts Of ordinary
9iyslized existence can only be obtained with
difficulty and at exorbitant cost. I trust thatfiu'
considering the submitted schedules no mis-
taken theory Of economy will perpetuate q sys-
lem which N the past has virtually closed to
deserving talent many offices where capacity
and a~tta1nments Of . high order are indispensa-
Die. and In not a few instances has brought dis
discredit on our national character, and; entailed
embarrassment: and even suffering on those
deputed to uphold our dignity and interests
abroad. In connection with this subjece I earn
ing some mode Of trustworthy Inspection and
report Of the manner In which the consulates
are conducted In the absence of such reliable
Information efficiency can scarcely be rewarded
or Its opposite corrected. Increasing competi-
tlon In trade has directed attention to the value
OF the consular reports printed by the depart
ment OF state, and the efforts Of the government
to extend the practical usefulness Of these re-
ports have created q wider demand for them at
home and q spirit of emulation abroad Constt-
