GERS of the United States on duty in for
eign countries, and is designed to prevent
their corresponding with home newspapers
and utilizing in their dispatches fnforma-
ton obtained by them In their official
capacity. 1t is altogether too absurd to
suppose that the United States could enact
statutes regulating the conduct Of minis
tiers accredited to this government. Those
functionaries are governed by the laws of
tLe!r own lands just as ours are governed
by the statute referred to. They are, in
addition, governed by the code of diplo-

It Is just as we'll to be accurate as to be

Ing OF arguments to defend Secretary
Gresham's action in asking the Hawaiian
government to recall Minister Thurston
contain the statement that the charge pre-
ferred against the minister by the admin
istration is founded upon a statute of the
United States. This statute is quoted and
proves to be that section which prohibits
any diplomatic or consular officer from

1t was a cruel joke that some one played
on Mrs Lydia Dominis. Better known as
the ex-queen of Hawaii. when. a. gor-
gecusly-covered volume of the report of
the board of public works of Chicago was
sent to her with the cards of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Gresham enclosed. This explains
the entry in Mrs. Dominis' diary wherein
she refers to her gratitude at receiving
a present from the President Of the United
States. 1t is probable that"at the time the
precious volume arrived, with all it's wealth
of illustrations of sewers and paving
stones. Mrs. Dominis was far too. busy
ccnspiring against the government to ex-
anime its contents with the care that a
well-regulated. patriotic ex-queen- should
show In a matter Of such 1nomentous i'm
portance. The Presidents Indignant denial
of the truth of the statement in Mrs. Dom
iris diary is thus completely verified and
his reputation indicated.

From the Baltimore American.

The mayor Of Brooklyn says that women
would make excellent inspectors of streets
and thinks he would like to try the expert
ment. 1t may have been noticed by the
observing. as 1t doubtless has by the
mayor, that, while it is difficult to get
men who will keep streets clean. restric-
tive ordinances have to be placed about the
Clearly zeal Of feminine householders
whose ablutions of the public portion OF

Confide in the People,

y.
There are two reasons why SO much dis
trust Of public officials exists in America
today. One is full knowledge that the
public affairs have In many instances been
wretchedly handled, and the other origi-
mates in a lack Of knowledge of the actual
amount Of work. good or bad. performed
by the council or commissioners in the
course of their official life. The remedy for
the first named depiorable condition is be-
ing sought in all manner of devices, but
there has been little attempt to change the
second one.
