AmbassadoriaI Rights.

President Cleveland has appointed
Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware, to be
the first Ambassador to Great Britain.
A more peGtting appointment could not
have been made. Heretofore the re-
representatives. of this country to foreign
lands have had the title of Envoy eX.
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary and the giving OF the new title of
Ambassador has made much discussion
in diplomatic circles. This title has
been given because the English minis
ter Sir Julian Paunceforte and the
French minister NJ. Patenotre, have
been recently endowed with the title of
Ambassador. To what extent the En-.
glish and French ambassadors, will
avail themselves of the privileges 10
which their recent promotion entities
them, is a question discussed i'll diplo-
matte circles. An ambassador repre-.
sents the person of his sovereign as well
as the country, and as such, has access
to tie person of the monarch to whom
he is accredited. A minister stands in
no such favored position. An amb6s-
sador, for instance, may call on the m
perOr when lie wants to, and if he
should see him walking the street he
can so up and address him.
At some European courts ambassa-
doris are given precedence over ENJOYS.
This was the rule at Berlin until the
late George Bancroft was our minister,
when it was changed in his favor. Mr..
Bancroft, after having waited a long
time for an audience with Prince Bis.
marck, was, on II occasion, obliged
to yield TO the British ambassador, who
had that moment arrived. AS the am
bassador was personally disagreea6le to
the chancellor, and Mr.. Bancroft was a
friend, he changed the rule so that the
diplomatic representatives were admit
ted in the order in which they arrived.
1t is extremely doubtful that Sir Ju,
liam Pauncefote Of Mr.. Patenotre will
care to exercise any of his privileges Or
whether, when he goes TO the State De-
partment, he will be given precedence
over ENJOYS. This is a matter for Sec
rotary Gresham to regulate.

Washington Letter.

W|aSnlngtOn, april ., 1919.
Three senations in a single week is
certainly piling on the agony, eve for
Washington. People had hardly ecov-
cred from the shock of the unpreceden-
ted proposition made on the floor of the
Senate, to investigate the charges of
criminal ENLIGHTENMENT made against
Senator Roach, OF North Dakota, when
another sensation was sprung upon
them by the announcement that Secre-
taries Carlisle and Gresham lad dis.
covered that x .Secretary of State Eos
Ter, who is U. 5. agent before the Be-
hiring Sea Court of Arbitration, was
distributing Uncle Sans money with a
lavish hand, i'll the shape of allowances
for expenses to favored government EN-
ployes whom he has taken to Paris
with him. Among these are Major
Halford, who was President Harrison's
private secretary, and who was made a
paym%sler in the army just before the
close of the last administration, ut a
salary Of about S., 800 a year; ]. Stan
ley Brown, who was President Gar6eld's
private secretary and is the husband of
Mollie Garfield, who holds q State de-
partment position paying $40 a day,
and a number of other government EN-.
ployes. The allowance made to the
two y private secretaries, in addition
to their regular salary, is SIS a day,
and to the others in proportion. 1t is
claimed that no necessity existed for
taking these people to Paris, and that
it is simply "A pleasure trip at govern
ment expense for them. The third
sensation was the bringing of charges
against the Weather Bureau of general
crookedness ever since it was transfer
ed from the War to the Agricultural
Department, involving favoritism, vio-
lation and evasion Of the Civil Service
law by the employment of incompetent
persons at fancy salaries, and plain
common, every day stealing, all of
which proves conelusively, il any proof
were needed, that all branches of the
public service stand in need of a
thorough we hauling occasionally.
The hottest fight yet made against a
Presidential appointment is now being
waged against J. J. McAlester, recent
ly nominated, but not yet confirmed, to
be U. S. Marshal for Indian Territory.
Charges have been preferred against
McAlester by w. F. Weeks, chairman
of the democratic committee of the ter
ritory, and they have been filed with
the President and with the Senate COM
mittee. McAlester, who is here, is
fighting back, and says he is confident
Of being confirmed.

There is much uneasiness among the
higher officials in the Department Of
State on account of the rumOr, gener-
ally believed, that Secretary Gresham
has a little list of employees, all in the
upper grades, that he intends to dismiss
for ineniciency. Those having occasion
to visit that Department often will do
no grieving if there is a general shake
up among its bureau chiefs, some of
whom have long been victims of the
disease known as the "big head"
After many conflicting statements,
pro and con-, the question Of al extra
session of Congress has been definitely
settled by President Cleveland, the on
" man who had the authority to settle
it. There is to be an extra session, and
1t will be called TO meet early in Sept
emBer, the principal object being to
pass a tariff bill in time to go into effect
in the spring of 1894. 1t is a big task,
and Judging fiom past experience i'll
that line the administration will bei
lucky if the new tariff bill gets through
by the first of July, of next year.
No position under the government is
more sought after than that of govern
menu printer. He has more patronage,
outside of the Civil Service restrictions,
than the head Of any other bureau, 10
say nothing of the control of large dis
bursements for printing material etc.
There are a legion Of candidates, some
from almost every section of the coun.
try. President Cleveland says he will
not make the selection for several
weeks yet, aud that when he does he
intends to appoint a man who will take
the office out of politics and run it on Il
business basis. That will be an limo.
walton indeed, as there has been more
| politics to the square inch in that office
than in any other branch OF the govern
ment service, and although Mr.. Cleve.
lands intentions may be good, it is
very doubtful whether lie can succeed
in banishing politics thereirOm.
There is an impression here that the
Senate will adjourn as soon as it has
decided whether the Senators appointed
by the governors of Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming have Il right to
their seats, and ii begins to look as
though that decision would be in the
affirmative. If that be correct, Sena.
| tor Hoar's resolution directing an i'll
| vestigation of the charge of embezzle-
ment against Senator Roach will not
be acted upon, nor will the new officers
nominated by the democratic cancus lie
elected until next fall.

A inst Judge,

In charging the Hudson County
Grand Jury on Tuesday, Judge Lippin-
colt, of the Supreme Court, after re.
viewing the duties Of grand jurymen
and reading three times the oath of Of
flee, insisted on the suppression Of cor
tain evils or the finding of indictments
without any delay. He first touched
on the violations of the law against Ii
quor selling on Sunday and then turned
to the policy shops and the Harrison
pool rooms. On the subject of race
track bookmaking Judge L%ippincott de-
clared that the recent acts legali2ing
the practice were unconstitutional, and
instructed the jury to indict under the
old law.

Bro. Foster of the Elmer Times still
says THAT Mr.. Diver agreed before
election to support the ace track bills.
If however this was but a mere, rumor
we would not be justified in abiding to
it, but it is more than a rum0r based
as it is on the positive statement Of the
acknowledged Democratic leaders in
Salem county, who allege that right
here in Elmer, Mr.. Diver agreed to
support Thompson's bills; that he was
given seven days to think over the pro-
position and at the end of that time he
offered to put his pledge in writing. 1t
is because of these statements that we
have not hesitated to critlcise Mr.. Div
er's motives in his first votes in the
race track war;"
In defiance to the statement of the
'~'leaders" we still do not believe Mr..
Diver promised to vote for the race
track bills, or that he used Tbompson's
money. 1t looks as if somebody else
did the promising, if there were any, and
as they found that Mr.. Diver was not
the man they could handle, they being
in the tar themselves, are using the
Times as a willing cats paw to smirch
Mr.. Diver for not being led by them.
Because Mr.. Diver proved to be the
kind of goods they could not deliver
somebody is s~quealing to clear them
selves and put Mr.. Diver in the race
track mire with themselves. Mr.. Div.
er's word of veracity we believe as good
as those leaders who voted for Billy
Thompson to go as a delegate TO the
Democratic National convention. If
the promise is in writing why did not
the ''leaders" and Billy have it redeem
ed? Who doubts but that they would
have put the screws on Mr.. Diver if
they had had 1t? Notwithstanding Mr..
Diver voted against the race track bills
twice, and if there had been one more
in the Senate to vote as consistently as
he did there would have been no race
track laws, yet the Times has never
given him a word of credit for that nor
n personal condemnation of those who
voted for the bills. We speak on our
own responsibility of what We know
and from Mr.. Divers independent
course in kicking the caucus and in
voting against the bills, as it was shown
by his subsequent votes to give the PEG.
pie a hearing which, when they had
their say, proved of no avail. Yet the
Times has not a wCrd Of commentator
for those votes. Mr.. Diver will UNI
doubleday speak for himself when the
time comes and then Bro. Foster will
find out who has been doing the awful
lying and their motive Tor doing so. In
the meantime Bro. Foster will be do.
ing his County a great good by doing
some missionary work at home where
the Thompson followers are so thick
instead of trying to make race track
men out of one who proved by his votes
he is not one.
