SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC AGENTS,

The president has appointed Hon.
John A. Kasson, of Iowa, a special
commissioner, with full powers, to ne
gotiate reciprocal trade arrangements
with various governments. What these
arrangements may be is provided for in
sections and of the Dingley law. If
the task of making these arrangements
and not to our regular diplomatic rep
resentatives, perhaps no better seiec-
ton than Mr.. Kasson could have been
made, for his diplomatic experience has
been large, he having been minister to
Austria from June II, 1871 to May, 1881
and minister to Germany from July 4.
1884 to March. 1885. He also repre-
scented this government at Berlin at
the conference which had under con-
sideration the affairs of Samoa. He
has also had large experience as a
member of the national house of rep
resentatives, there having served as a
member of the committee on ways and
means. That he is eminently well quail
fled to discharge the delicate duties of
his nov Office there is no doubt.
But Mr. Kassops appointment brings
up anew the question: What does the
government maintain diplomatic rep
resentatives at the various courts for?
If the negotiation of reciprocity trea-
ties is not a purely diplomatic task,
what can be? If our ambassadors are
not fit to conduct such negotiations
then they should be removed and such
men put in their places who are cap
able of discharging the duties of their
Offices. If it is preferable to entrust
important negotiations to special
agents. why not conduct all negotia-
lions with foreign nations through such
agents? The application of steam to To-
comotion and the invention of the tele-
graph have very materially lessened
the functions of ambassadors, at least
of American ambassadors. for they
take no important step without con-
sulung directly with the state depart
ment at Washington. When the Jay
treaty was negotiated it was not so.
President Mckinley seems to have a
penchant for special commissioners to
take up important questions with for
eign governments. as witness the VOL
colt commission and now the appoint
nlent Of Mr.. Kasson. One would like
to know whether our ambassadors and
ministers plenipotentiary abroad feel
that a slight is put upon them.

thority from parliament to do SO, but
the answer, while it may ask for de-

TO be unfavorabIe."
And this reminds us of the story of
the man who refused to enter the ark
when Noah told him TO come in And
Noah said to him that the rain was be-
ginning and that it would not cease I'M
til all the land was covered with water.
But the man refused to believe Noah
and became stiff necked and rebellious
and would not go into the ark. And the
rain descended and the waters rose and
the earth was hidden from view And
as the ark sailed away Noah bade the
man good bye. and the man answered
Noah s'aying, Good bye and good luck;
l don't think there is going to be much
of a storm, anyhow
And our contemporary refuses to be-
lieve what the British are saying about
their ark.
