Our Consular Service.

Hon. Samuel e. Morss, the retiring
consul general at Paris, grants an inter-
view to the Associated Press, in which
he comments at considerable length
on the consular service. He defends
our consuls against the comments so
frequently made respecting inefficiency
unreliability, etc, and attributes the
criticisms both to ignorance and a de-
sire to find fault. He declares that
the American consuls compare favor
ably with those in the service of Eng
land, France and Germany. He con-
tends that many of them have greater
duties to perform, citing his own case.
Especially is this true in Europe where
so many American travellers come
every year and whose calls upon the
time and attention of the consuls seem
almost innumerable. Mr.. Morss, how
ever, does admit that our system of
political changes in the service could be
improved upon but to secure better ser
vice he believes it equally necessary
for larger salaries to be paid.

Compromises Begun.

All who appreciate the Imperative
need of expediting the tariff measure
are gratified to learn that the Senate
and House leaders are already coming
to an agreement respecting the con-
ficting features of the two bills, in
stead of delaying the matter for the con-
ference committee. Just what the
notifications decided upon are is not
definitely known. 1t is said the
changes include modification of the
sugar schedules, retention of the
Hawaiian reciprocity arrangements,
dropping the proposition to increase
the tax on beer and the raising of the
wool rates in a slight degree on some
kinds. Compromises have got to
be made and it will be better to have
the bill when it leaves the Senate as
nearly in completed form as possible.
