HARRISON CONTENDS CEEVE-

And Speaks Some Plain Words Anent

And Speaks Some Plain Words Anent
Our Diplomatic and CunsuIar Ser
vice.
General Harrison writes of "The Pres
idential Office" in the March Ladies'
Home Journal, and his comprehensive ar
tce is outspoken and plain. He takes
occasion to commend President Cleve-
lands movement toward establishing a
more permanent consular service. The
ex- x-Presdent says:
'The need of a better consular service
has been getting strong hold upon the
public mind. The practice has been to
make frequent changes in these Offices
indeed an almost complete change upon
the coming in of an administration of a
different party. The duties of a consul
relate almost wholly to our commerce
with the country where he serves.
The recent movement by Mr.. Cleve-
land and in Congress for better quail
fed and permanent consular force is to
be commended.
at is remarked that changes in the
home administration in other countries,
such as England and France, do not in
voIve changes in the ministers or ambas-
sadors or conSuls, as hey do with U.S.
The English Ambassador at Washington
holds right on whether the Liberals or
the Tories are in power. He represents
his country, not a party, and carries out
the instructions from the home Govern
ment Loyalty. He is never heard to make
speeches attacking the policy OF the op-
posing party-or criticising his own
people. Perhaps one of the chief diff
culties in our getting permanent diplO-
matic and consular service grows out of
| the fact that the tariff question is one
| that is always acute in our politics, and
| the reports of our cOnsuls naturally take
| on the views held by them upon this
question. We cannot have permanent
diplomatic and consular service until we
can find diplomats and consuIs who will
leave their party politics at home. Ii
they are to be aired or exercised abroad
/ then it follows that they must be in har-
mony with the party inpower at home

"The mill cannot grind with the
water that has passed" nor with the
water that has not yet reached it. Take
a lesson from this. Don't wait for op-
porlunltles To turn up; nor try and
glide through the world on a reputa-
ton bullded by your father. Every
man should be his own builder and
pass through the world on reputation
earned by his own merits. This is
true democracy and if every man will

ideal world.

The Paris Exhibition of 1000.

The magnitude of the labor involved
in the preparation for the Paris Exhi-
bi,ion of 1900 may be Judged from the
fact that already the French people are
actively engaged in the preliminary
work of organization, although the
opening day of their great enterprise
is nearly five years distant. 1t is esti-
mated that the preparation of the
grounds, erection OF the buildings, and
general maintenance Of this Exhibition
will absorb round sum of $40, 900, 900.

take such steps at once as will relieve
present distress. When the RepubIl-
can leaders realize that the pressure
was thus thrown upon them they ran
around in surprised and bewiIdered
state. They are well aware that the
financial condition of the country is
bad indeed, and that all existing fin
ancial lawe were made by the Repub-
lican party. These leaders now real
ize that they cannot pursue the do.
nothing policy they had mapped out.
They must set about it to repair and
repeal legislation made by their own

icv which must stand the test of ex-
perience. The Republicans have a
rare chance to appeal to the voters
with a definite plan. They may beg
off with the excuse that their deal with
Populist Senators includes only the
Senatorial perquisites. That would
be to excuse cowardice with a confess
sion of corruption. And the excuse
does not stand. The Republicans

COME TO THE SCRATCH

Republicans celebrate the New
Year by taking complete possession OF
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment at Washington.
What will they do with their con-
troll? If they have a policy for get
ting the country out of the hole into
which the FIfty-frst Congress plunged
it, they can captivate and capture the
people.
Presidential votes should not deter
them. A good policy will be made
better for partisan purposes by wick.
ed Democratic vote.
A Reed Congress ruined the Treas.
ury and reduced the Government to
borrowing funds in a time Of peace. a
Reed Congress caused the issue of
about $3.50, 200, 900 Treasury notes
and instructed the Government to
maintain the single gold standard;
while it wiped out the surplus, mort.
gagged the revenues and rendered the
maintenance of the gold reserve doubt
full Financial uncertainty ensued
and the Treasury became the helpless
victim of the gold dealers.
A Reed Congress has now full
charge of legislation. The Republi-
can party, if it has the potency of
honest government, can atone for the
disastrous crimes of its insane and will
full Fifty.f Congress by showing
how the Democratic soivency of 1884,
SO can be restored. A veto would
not be avoided by a party conscious of
ability and rectitude. It would be
courted; would be forced.
What we now get from the two
houses must be granted as the best the
Republican party is capable of con-
ceiving. five get nothing the party
pleads imbecility.
There is not halt as much difficulty

Miniature Painting an Exaotins Art.


Those who know only the finished
miniature, and have no acquaintance
with the method of its production, can
not conceive of the labor that it rep
resents. Each Of these tiny master
pieces-these ornaments with human
identifcation-these concentrated ex-
pressions of pictorial art--stands for
more toll, OF a peculiarly exacting sort,
than the largest canvas. The brushes,
some of them containing scarcely half
dozen hairs, make strokes so fine that
most Of the painting must be done un-
der magnifying glass. And the touch
es on the frail bit of ivory must be as
unerring as they are light, for the
smallest mistake may destroy the char
acteristic translucence that constitutes
the miniatures greatest charm.
