A MODEL CONSUL,

The determination of President Mckin-
ley to appoint only meu of high character
to foreign eonsulates has not been vio-
lated in his selection for Cairo. Egypt.
Mr.. Harrison, who has been appointed.
is generally known as a wealthy sugar
refiner. but he has a history which takes
him entirely out of merely commercial
ranks. He is a man of fine education, and
although actively engaged in business has
taken a deep interest in public affairs.
He has never held an Office. yet he has
distinguished himself in his country's ser
vice.
When the war broke out Mr.. Harrison
was engaged in business, and he hired a
a young man to serve as his substitute.
paying him a monthly salary. and paying
the necessarily high premium for insur
ance on the young mans life all through
the war. When the struggle became more
serious. he responded to the call for men
and served for four years in the navy. Ii
is said that he and the Count of Paris
| are the only men who refused to accept a
cents pay for their services.
Since the close OF the war he has been
in business again. but has travelled eX-
tensivcly and become a warm friend OF
the khedive of Egypt. at whose capital
he will now be stationed. He will be the
highest official representing the United
States in Egypt diplomatic usage prevent
ing, OF course. the sending of a minister
TO the court of suzerain- 1t was re-
ported that the khedive had unofficially
intimated TO the president that Mr. Har-
rison's appointment would be very agree
able TO him.
With men OF character such as this 10
represent the American government
abroad. the national prestige will be ad-
mirably sustained. The appointments 50
far made. with the exception of Mr..
Gowdy. of Indiana. have been received
with generai approval Even that exeep-
ton may prove to be justified. but II Is a
little unsafe to send abroad men who are
laughed at in their own country.
We have no particular interests in
Egypt now. but there is always danger of
a complication through the rivairies Of
England France and Turkey; and the
presence Of capable and cultured man
az Cairo may ne found OF great service
to this government when an intelligent
comprehension OF conditions becomes es-
seutiai

plan as formulated BY Lord Salisbury and

considerable negotiations. and appeared to
be equally fair To both countries.
The exceeding caution Of some Of the
United States senators resulted in amend
ments which gave a manifest advantage
10 this country II may be patriotic To
seek 10 make treaty more advantageous
20 ourselves than to the other contracting
government. but II Is not the right spirit
in which 10 deal with proposal OF means
10 avoid a difference of opinion.
The original treaty excluded from con-
siderstion questions affecting the honor
of the country. II they could not be
amicabiy settled By COMMITTEES in which
the United States was amply represented.
Moreover. no treaty agreeing to general
principles of arbitration. could compel this
country To bring within its terms such an
affront or overt act as would constitute
a casus beili under the laws of civilized
nations.
The senate has. however. seen Mt to
amend It SO as TO be unacceptable 10
Great Britain. and has then wisely killed
It. We may regret the failure Of the SEN
ate to agree 40 the establishment Of the
principle Of the settlement OF disputes by
civil means. but there need be no regret
that the bill in It's ahortive form has
failed TO pass.
