CLEVELAND,
And Speaks Some Plain
Words Anent Our Dip
lomatic and Consular
Services.

General Harrison writes of 'The
Presidential OfIlceo in the March
Ladies' Homc Journal, and his
comprehensive article is outspoken
and plain. He takes occasion to
commend Pres. Cleyeland's NOV.
ment toward establishing q more
permanent consular service. The
ex.President says:
"The need Of q better consular
service has been getting a strong
hold upon the public mind. The
practice has been to make frequ.
ent changes, in these olllces-in-
deed an almost complete change
upon tho coming in Of an admins
tration of o different party. The
duties Of q consul relate almost
wholly to our commerce with the
country where he serves. = : ("
The recent movement by Mr..
Cleveland and in Congress for q
better qualified and perman ent
consular force is TO be commend.
cd.
SIT is remarked that changes in
the home administration in other
countries, such as England and
France, do not involve changes
in the ministers or ambassadors
or consuls, as they do with us
The English Ambassador at Wash
ington holds right on whether
the Liberals or tories are il
power. He represents his coun
try, not q party, and carries GU
the instructions from the hom'
government Loyalty. He is neve
heard to make speecheG attacking
the policy Of the opposing party
or criticising his own people
Perhaps one Of the chief difficult
} les in our getting a permanen
diplomatic and consular selvic
grows out Of the fact that tn
tariff question is one that is a
ways acute in our politics, an
, the reports Of our consuls natul
9 ally take on the views held b
Q them upon this question. w

HALF THE STATES WILL

Commissioner Genera u
Wills Enthusiastic over
POstpOnement.

Last night after the meeting, in
an interview with Maj. Wills, the
Commissioner General, he stated
that, judging from the correspon-
dence he has had with the State
officials and others in the past
few weeks all over the country,
he is firmly of the belief that the
postponement or delay in the
opening Of the Centennial Expo
sition will result in securing ap.
preparations from at least 80 per
cent. of the States in the Union
and 70 per cent. of the counties
of Tennessee, and a liberal APP
preparation by the Congress OF
the United States. Maj. Wills
claims that Tennessee being the
first State in the Union to cele.
brate the Tooth anniversary Of
her admission into the Union OF
States, this celebration will re-
suit in all the States following
with the celebration of the same
event occurring in their own
States, and the States now par
ticipating in Tennessee's celebra
ton will realize the fact that 9
reciprocal favor will be granted
them as their Tooth birthday roll,
around.-American.
