The Presidents Appointments.

Even the New York Times had TO admit
that President Harrison bad made one of
the best diplomatic appointments that
could be made when he designated Mr..
Richard Potts Shannon as Minister to the
Central American States. And this leads
the Baltimore American to say that one Of
the admirable things about this admins
tration is the strength and excellence of its
diplomatic representation:
Never in the country's history has the govern
ment been more uniformly fortunate in the
character, capacity and real qualifications OF its
~diplomatists and consuls. The absence OF scam
dals is a pleasant contrast TO the preceding adj
ministration. Secretary Blaine and President
Harrison seem thoroughly bent on the selection
of the best men, and the elevation OF the service
to the highest point or dignity and efficiency.
Just as high praise Can be awarded to
President Harrison for the excellence Of his
Judiciary appointments.

THE DISTURBED CONDITION OF EUROPE.

The situation in Europe seems unus-
ually precarious at the present time.
The much-talked-of war cloud is not
lowering Owe the nations, but there ap-
pears to be an unusual uncertainty about
public affairs. The alliance between
Germany, Austria, Great Britain and It
ally was regarded for the time as set
Ting affairs in a manner which would re-
lieve apprehension, but recent develop
ments showing an unusual friendship be-
tween Russia and France have produced
fresh anxiety, particularly in Great Brit
ain, which does not desire to antagonize
Russia or make q foe of France. The
wiser ones in England now regard the
grand reception by the Queen of the En-
peror of Germany as in the nature of a
mistake. Rus STA is making advances to-
ward Bulgaria, and by an alliance
with France might make matters
disagreeable for the members of
the alliance. The government of
Italy is reputed as being very
anxious to deprive the Pope of his tenn.
poral authority in Rome, and will, it is
predicted, call upon Germany and its
other allies to support such action. On
the other hand, 1T is said that France
will defend the Pope in the maintenance
of his temporal power should Italy In
terfere. In the face of these disturb
ances and sources of inquietude, a gen.
eral scarcity of food prevails over nearly
all Europe and is creating considerable
discomfort in Germany and elsewhere.
Partly to retain food at home for its
own millions and probably partly for
the purpose of causing complications in
Germany, the Car has prohibited the
shipment of rye from Russia to Ger
many. This edict has caused ~cOnject.
ures as to the designs of the Car. Just
now the accident which befell Emperor
William appears to be the cause of no
little anxiety. The first reports we're to
the effect that the injury was of little
consequence, but later reports from Ber-
lin indicate that grave ap~prehensions
exist as to the result, because of his inn.
patience and anxiety and the presence
of fever. All these things tend to create
a condition of uncertainty and uneasi-
ness which has rarely existed in Europe
In recent years.

THE setting of what may be called curb
ing along the s~treet-railway tracks OIL
Massachusetts avenue and North Pennsyl-
vania street. something like that separ-
ating the street from the sidewalk. is
naturally exciting q good deal of comment.
If that curbing is to stand above the level
of the asphalt pavement, it will not only
be destructive to carriages, but dangerous.
At best. it seems designed to shut the pub
lie from the portion of the street occupied
by the car tracks. and about eighteen
inches more on each side. If. under the old
regime, this thing had been done. or under
taken, a three-column howl would have
gone up from the News. 1t would be well
for the organs of the street-railway COM
pany to explain this curbing of the rail-
way tracks.

PLUMB rs DEAD.

Once again a season Of Joy Is chang
ed to mourning, and the nation turns
to view for the last time one OF her
sons, in sorrow, and yet with pride.
Swift as the thunderbolt, and as
deadly, the shock came, and struck
low one who but few days since,
stood up in our midst In the full
vigor OF his ripe manhood. One we
had learned to love, for his mani
festations Of good will to US. A man
we delighted to honor because he
was truly honorable. A man who
served his people and his country
well, and who died working. A
man who wears to his grave the
badge: "Well done, good and faith
ful servant" Words are too
poor to express our feelings, but we
may say he was man Of the people,
great and good. honest and true,
faithful and just.
He sleeps, but he is not dead.
Men like him never die, while the
memory of their good deeds and
valiant services remain.
He is gone out Of our sight, yet we
see him in the works he has wrought.
And while we drop the silent tear
on his bier let US do the things he
would have us do. Let US look up
in hope and resignation to the Faith
er who gave him to us, saying:
"Even 30, Father, for SO II seemed
good In thy sight"

WHO WILL BE sENAToR.

1t is sad, but nevertheless true,
that plans perhaps a plenty, were
began ere Senator Plumb's body was
cold, by those who are ambitious to
| fill his place. Governor Humphrey
will appoint some one as Senator to
hold his seat until the next legisla-
ture meets, which is one year from
this winter. Then that body will
elect a senator to fill Mr.. Plumb's
unexpired term-which ends in 1895.
Who will that man be, is problem
that many are just Mt this time try
ing to solve. There Is only one way
for Governor Humphrey to look at
this matter, and that Is, who will be
the best man In the Senate for Kan
sas. We need man to take up the
work right where Mr.. Plumb left it.
A man familiar with the rules Of
that body, and . man who will be
able to command the respect Of its
members. II our other member was
an old wheel horse, and able to
double his load for twelve month,
it would be different. Then q new
man could be selected from the
ranks Of the ambitious and untried
would-be's. But Senator PETER
stands In the Senate alone-without
experience In the ways OF Its proceed
ure, and without . party. What can
he do? He can simply set there and
look on. In time he may make q
brilliant senator, but he is only on
trial now.
In q great measure, any new men,
Der that Governor Humphrey might
name would be similarly situated.
He would also have to look
on. The state Of Kansas cannot
afford to have two students there at
the same time, and therefore, to hold
our own In that august body, the re-
turn OF John J. Ingalls, Is almost de-
manded. He is the only man that
can proceed with the work in hand
successfully, and while he may have
bitter enemies who will doubtless do
their utmost to prevent his appoint
ment, yet the fact remains, that Mr..
Ingalls, can better ill this short term
Of one year than any man in Kan
sas.
