Capt. T. s. Doyle's Appointment.

The many friends of Capt. Thomas
s. Doyle will be rejoiced to hear that
President Cleveland has honored him
with the appointment of consul to
Beirut. Syria, a most important and
attractive post. The government may
be congratulated upon the selection,
for Capt. Doyle possesses the elements
which must fit him peculiarly for such
duties as devolve upon the representa-
tives of this government in the consul
lar branch of the service. Capt.
Doyle's previous training, his scholarly
attachments and his strong common
sense will serve MIN well, and reflect
honor upon himself and the country
he represents. The point to which he
goes involves a long journey, but it
will be pleasant. He will sail from
New York to Liverpool, thence he will
embark upon one of the lines which
will carry him Thu rough the straits OF
Gibralter into the Mediterranean,
thence past the southern coast OF
Italy, by ''the Isles of Greece" to the
farther end of the Mediterranean, not
far from Jerusalem. The city of Bel
rut is very ancient, having been found
ed it is believed by the Phornecians,
and has many magnificent ruins in and
about it, which are of the deepest his
torical and archaeological interest
Apart from this it is city of modern
ideas, full of life and thrift and civil.
cation, and is said to be peculiarly
pleasant place to reside. We extend
to Capt Doyle and his friends sincere
congratulations on his appointment
and hope he may find the work pleas
ant and the position profitable. He
will start for his post about the first OF
the new year.

framers," said the Hon. Frank John
son, ex-Attorney General of the State,
to q Washington rep 1rter. "Under
it's operation there is no discrimina-
ton, and the ignorant white man and
the ignorant black man are treated
exactly alike. 1t is the best law our
State could have had, for it settles a
vexed question on a sensible basis,
and rids us of the manifold evils that
formally disturbed the tranquility
