the diplomatic service is has just
affair. There was a dispute between
Americans and Germans over some
islands IN which neither country had
any valid right or good claim; if the diplo-
matte service had been worth anything, the
trouble could have been adjusted at Berlin
or Washington in short order, but the am
bassadors and ministers were ignored and
three special commissioners were dis
patched to the German capital to ar
range matters; they went forth
charged with ample instructions
from the secretary of state, being
allowed little if any latitude. Having com
pleted their labors, they were powerless to
act: they could not close the case and at
tach their signatures, until all they had
done, including the text of the treaty, had
been cabled to Washington and Secretary
BLAINE had examined and approved the
proceedings and given his authorization for
the commissioners to sign. AS matter of
fact, the Samoan convention was arranged
at Washington and Berlin, and the minis
tiers and commissioners were little else
than figure heads. Everything that can come
up between a European government and
this country must be adjusted by the home
officials of the two governments, the
ambassadors being powerless to act, and
there being no occasion for them to act,
the cable and the fast steamers making it
easy for negotiations to be conducted at
headquarters. There was time when the
diplomatic service was of some value, but
the time has long since passed. Instead of
erecting and maintaining costly palaces in
foreign countries, craftsmanship and
economy both suggest the propriety of
recalling all our representatives abroad
save the consuls at more important ports
and cities, and abolishing a service which
is continued for no other purpose than to
provide places for politicians who are dis
posed to put on ''style.n
We are sorry that Mr.. PHELPS was not
proof against the infection which seems to
aff1ict so many Americans who come under
the influence of royalty.

HAILEY'S APPEAL.

There comes another appeal for aid for
an afflicted and distressed communicative
third such call within few weeks This
time it is Haley which applies to the gen
erous- hearted and the charitable. The
brave and proud little city did not like the
idea of asking assistance, and set out to
carry its weight of distress single handed
and upcomplainingly The people were
courageous and independent, as are all
these mountain communities; but when
they recovered from the first shock, and
could look around them and see how great
was the disaster which had befallen
them, they wisely concluded that it would
be better to permit the kindly disposed to
help carry the load which the fire put upon
the few. The board of trade appeal, which
appears elsewhere in this issue of The
HERALD, is frank and manly, and should
call out a generous and prompt response.
There are not many cases of destitution in
the city, but such as there are should be
relieved at once. 1t must also be borne in
mind that provision must be made, not alone
for the afflicted, but for those who
are dependent on the business and indus
tries of the town until such time as mat
tiers can be restored to their normal condi-
ton and labor and opportunities for az
curing the means of subsistence can be
provided, otherwise. "a more severe blow to
Haley than the half millon-dollar fire will
be struck. If the people leave, as many of
them must do unless they are provided for
during the paralysis of business, many
Of them will not return, and the town will
suffer a severe set-bac
The people of Haley have many friends
hereabouts, and many of our citizens are
interested in the afflicted city. Besides,
our peoples generosity in such cases is pro
verbal, hence we expect Salt Lake will be
prompt to do her full duty at the time

GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.

IT Is to be feared that some of the mucl
that has been printed regarding the heat
of our late minister TO Great Britain hav
ing been turned is too true. Before hC
went abroad Mr.. PHELPS was an American
through and through, but be had not beer
absent long before he was charged will
aristocratic leanings. 1t was said that he
swelled out with the Importance of his
Office, and long before the end of his tern
he was more royalist than those born with
titles. Party loyalty compelled the Demo
Gratis to defend the gentleman and maintain
that he was humble citizen of the republic,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was forced
by the duties of his position to hob-nob
with royalty and titled ones.
If the gentleman is correctly reported
the structures on him during the past four
years by his political enemies were not al
together malicious and uncalled for. Mr.
PHELPS is now credited with scheme
for disposinG of the treasury surplus
which would indicate that his for
eign residence has done him no
good. His plan comprises, first,
the immediate building of an immense
navy, and the construction Of strong and
ample coast Notifications. Having made
the country reasonably safe as re
CARDS attack from a foreign power,
he would have the United States
erect at every capital in Europe
a magnificent diplomatic establishment on
a scale equal to that of the foremost nation
Of the world. In unfolding this grand
scheme, he says, with too much ostentation
TO be relished by the average American,
that ''the navy is the right arm of diplo-
macy.n
Isn't it little singular that brief Off
cial residence in Europe almost invariably
fills the head of the heretofore sensible
and patriotic American with old world
ideas of government, and makes him the
champion of ''style" which he was before
ashamed off, The United States have no
more use for the diplomacy of which ex-
Minister PHELPS talks than they have for
any other thing or institution which they
do not need The diplomatic service is a
costly farce, and it would be the most
shameless extravaganza to increase the ex-
pense. There is no possible complication
which could arise that would require
magnificent diplomatic establishment at
any European capital, with its ambassa
dor and long line Of attaches.
What an idle and worthless thing

1t Speaks Public Opinion.

The Iowa State Register hits the nail
squarely On the head in the following item
"It is a pleasure to the Register to recon-
mend an article of merit, and this is the
case with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy, as it has proven to be
all that is claimed for it in many instances
that have come under the writer's imme-
date notice, and the Register believes that
every family should have bottle of this
sterling remedy at all times at their homes,
as it may be necessary wien least ex-
pected Messrs. Chamberlain & Company
present testimonials as to the virtue Of the
life-saving preparation, from nearly all of
the states in the union, and many instances
ar given where death has been averted by
its timely use. Three different epidemics
are noted, in which this standard medicine
has come out victorious, and this was the
most successful of all the remedies EN-
ployed. Too much care cannot be exer-
cised to preserve the health Of the children
as well as the heads of the house, and it is
always best to be prepared at all times.

REPUBLICAN ALARM.

There is alarm at Washington over the
outlook in Montana. Last week the Presi-
dent, members of his cabinet and certain
Senators of the northwest, discussed the
situation, and a correspondent says the
President expressed himself that the
Republican National committee should
make a determined effort to bring the terri
tory into the union as a Republican state.
1t was the sentiment of every gentleman
in the conference that the matter was one
for the legitimate and special exer-
ton of the national committee, and
the meeting adjourned with the
understanding that the committee would
put money and men into the field at once,
while the administration would do its ut
most in the premises. 1t is realized that if
Montana goes in as a Democratic state, in
all probability it will be a long time in
changing; that it will cost less money and
less effort to make the capture now than
hereafter Furthermore, there is des-
perate need for the one Representa-
tive and two Senators to come from
the new state. The Republican party,
having a majority in Congress, will
be held responsible for all legislation dur
ing the next two years; it will also be held
accountable for the lack of legislation. At
present the party has a majority in the
House of three, which is almost as bad as
no majority at all, as the Democrats will
be dolts indeed if they cannot prevent
wicked law-making under such circum-
stances. If all the new states elect Repub-
lican Representatives the party will have
a majority of only eight, and if Montana
shall chose a Democrat, the Republicans
will be cut down to Ska majority which
cannot control, though it involves such an
ugly responsibility. We are not surprised
that the administration is worried, and has
resolved to take hand in the contest for
The salvation OF the party.
Meantime the Montana Democrats are
doing good and effective work. They are
not trusting to the prestige of their victory
in the constitutional convention election to
carry them through, but are conducting an
earnest campaign which they intend shall
be thorough and bring to the polls
every Democrat. 1t is also proposed
to have all tc the Democratic
ticket, including the hundreds who went
over to the Republicans at the delegate
election last November because they didn't
like their party nominee, and for the reason
th4t they were Disguised with the way in
which the Democratic majority in Congress
had treated the appeals of the territories
for emancipation from oppression and mis-
rule The contest is a close one, with the
Democrats slightly ahead, such advantage
as there is being with them.
It is observed that some of the Repub-
lican organs are expressing fear lest in the
confidence of the party managers in the
certainty OF winning, the Democrats will
steal march and capture Washington,
thus reducing the Republican majority in
the House to four, the Senate remaining as
it is. THE HERALD cannot think there is
any likelihood of such an event, the Repub-
licans really having a large majority in the
territory. However, the prize is worth a
determined effort.
