At Foreign Courts.

dorial material il can take care of.
At Foreign Courts.
The rule at most foreign courts is that
ambassadors, being the personal represen-
tatiyes Of their sovereigns, are admitted TO
audience whenever they call upon the sec
rotary of state for foreign affairs or upon
the sovereign himself. Before our repre-
sentative at Paris was made an embassa-
dor American ministers enjoyed the un-
pleasant experience of waiting hour after
hour i'm the antoroom trying TO obtain au-
dience with the foreign minister, while
ambassador after ambassador arrived and
was at once admitted
In the end 1t will be found advisable,
almost necessary, to send ambassadors
from the United States To every foreign
capital at which other governments keep
diplomatic agents of the highest rank. As
one of the acknowledged first class powers
of the world the United States cannot
well afford 10 take back seat anywhere.
III we follow the example of England, we
shall send ambassadors to Turkey, to
Spain, TO Russia and to Austria Hungary,
In addition To the four which we now have
accredited 10 Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy.
Praise and Censure.
President Mckinley has so far been ex-
ceedingly careful in his selection of men
to represent this country abroad Colonel
John Hay, who goes as our ambassador to
London, is thought by many who do not
know him TO be mere society man-what
the brutal would call "snob" There
could not be a greater injustice I know
Colonel Hay very well, and n more thor
ough American there is not There is
nothing of the snob about him. He is
plain, practical, sensible, thoroughgoing
man of the people. 1t is true that, being
blessed with fortune and a fine house in
Washington, Mr.. Hay entertains n great
deal. He is fond of company, is capital
host and has his friends throughout all
ofllcialdom and among the best people He
Is good story teller and witty converse
tionalst. Every one that knows him likes
him for his plain Americanism.
Even Homer mods sometimes, and i am
sorry to see that President Mckinley has
sent abroad to an important diplomatic
post u man who cannot write good Eng
lisn, and whose manners, especially at ta-
BILE, will doubtless prove "A revelation TO
our cousins across the water. Political
services have TO be recognized by all pres
idents, and the craze for going abroad
takes possession Of all sorts of people, SO
that Mr.. Mckinley may congratulate him
self upon escaping many other blunders Of
the same sort.
General Clark X. Carr of Illinois, a con-
spicuous candidate for minister TO Den
mark, was there under President Harri-
son. He was very popular at Copenhagen,
where he became known as a great diner
out. Almost every night in the week he
had his fat legs under the mahogany
of some Danish host. The Danes dubbed
him "The American Dining Carr"

The contributions of the Congregational
Churches to tho American Missionary
Association in tho Eastern district, which
includes all the New England States ex-
cept Connecticut, show u gain for the
last five months of $40, 745. 81 over the cor
responding period of last year. The share
of Massachusetts, in this increase is
81, SS3 81. The increase of contributions i'm
Rhode Island during these five months is
more than the total of their contributions
during the corresponding five months of
1S95-96. The State of Maine has not quite
kept pace with the others in this very
encouraging and hopeful advance, but
throughout the country at large, there is
a substantial gain in gifts from the
churches. The American Association
was organized in Albany, n. Y, in
September 1916, and for fifty years has
worked among the negroes, Indians,
Southern mountineers and somewhat re-
Gently, the Chinese on the Pacific coast.
There arc about II, 600, 600 of these various
classes in our country. There are L. 40
pupils in all the schools; 52l of them
among tho Indians; S93 among the
Chinese; 2i05 among the Southern noun
taincers and the rest among the colored
people of the South, This Association
was the originator of industrial education
among the colored people of the South.

Fifty-seven public libraries, clubs and
reading rooms have within month cast
out the two most conspicuous examples of
the yellow journalism. or course good
many such institutions have never taken
the papers. As matter OF fact,
the new journalism is on the same level
and OF the same brand as the so-callcd
"pollce periodicals which good
many news stands do not show on their
counters, although they may keep them
for sale In the guisc Of daily newspaper
the new journalism has developed into
precisely the same low down and offensive
kind Of thing as the so-callcd police"
papers-like them, rcdolent in illustration
and making a speciality Of criminal and
scandalous news " The prostitution OF the
good name Of newspaper proceeded pretty
far without arousing general attention, but
public opinion Is now plainly getting after
this kind Of newspapers and will compel
them 10 restoration Of dcccncy or force
them to the retirement of the yellow
wccklics which no reputable man carcs 20
be seen with in his hand.

One of the most rcmarkable demonstra-
tions that our time has witnessed is the
blockade of the ports of Crete by the al
lied Six Powers.
What Is the blockade for? Openly, 1t is
TO prevent the landing of arms, ammuni-
tion, provisions and men on the island
for the aid and succor of the Christians.
No objection will bc made to the land
ing of arms, ammunition, provisions and
men for the aid and succor Of Moslems.
As a blockade this is unique. None Of
the Powers engaged In ID are at war with
Crete or with Greece which is behind the
Cretan Christians in their rebellion. No
body is at war with anybody else any
where. A part of the population of Crote
the ruling part. Greece has sent troops
to assist the insurgents and warships to
stand in the way of any aid reaching the
dc jure government. Turkey is at lib
erty TO go to the relief of its government
in Crete In which event war between Tur-
key and Greece would likely ensue But
the Six Powers step I'm and proceed TO "take
sides" with the established government
and, in behalf of it, to starye out the
insurgents
This interference is not so much of n
novelty. The government of the United
States meddled in much the same way
when Cleveland undertook to restore the
monarchy of the Hawaiian Islands. But
there was then, as there was no need
Of, blockade. 1t is the Crctan blockade
which is so extraordinary. A blockade
signifies that there Is war between the
blockading party and the blockadod. If
one bf the Powers, England for instance,
were at war with Greece, we could not
imagine British merchant shipping
arms or provisions TO the enemy. But,
in the present situation, there is every
incentive to such an exploit and except
the emergency law OF the Six Powers
there is no precedent for the stopping of
such British merchantmen by one OF
the blockading fleet at Crete. There is
no good reason why she should not be
allowed to make a landing as usual and
deliver her goods without prejudice to
Christian and Moslem alike To be sure
the British merchantmen may be amen
able to the persuasion of the British
commander, the German merchantmen to
the commander of the feet that carries his
flag, and so on. But suppose Yankee
ship, seeing good chance TO turn n quick
dollar by running over to Crete with
cargo of things necdful, which one of the
representatives Of the Six Powers would
have the right to declare the blockade
in force against her? There is no state of
war. The Powers do not own Crete and
the rebellion is not directed against them
There is no war And there is no blockade
in any meaning of the term that it has
ever before borne.
The Powers ought to have called it by
another name

The Critic gives the thing away in the

reviewed on page $50, is well known In
literary and publishing circles TO be the

sibly written by "a foreigner, It Is amusing
TO see the Evening Post refer to il editori-

submission TO the new journalism" Is
viewed abroad. 1t it written by n

matter of fact the publishers have made

The great bulk Of the American people,
truly declares the American Economist,
only need 20 know that our ships in the
foreign trade can be protected by the
tariff again, as they were from 1889 TO
1925, when our ships carried 70 per cent Of
our foreign commcrce, TO demand that the
same policy shall be pursued now, when
our ships carry but II per cent Of our
foreign commerce. The latter disgraceful
condition Is due 10 the fact that protcc-
tion by tariff has been withdrawn from
American shipping, since when the pro.

The first systematic scientific study OF
domestic service by ucyMaynard Salmon,
professor of history at Vassar College Is
the title Of book published by the Mac
milan Company New York, and based on
information obtained 10y sending out,
through period of two years, series OF
blanks, one to be filled out by employers,
one by employees and one asking for mis-
cellaneous information from many who
are supposed TO have exceptional oppor-
tunities for forming judgments on the
subject. The book deals with such topics
as the following: The History of Domes-
tic Service in this country with its chang
ing Aspects; The. Scales of Wages paid To
Domestic Servants; Difficulties in Domes-
tic service from the Standpoint of the
Employer; from the Standpoint of the
Servants; Advantages in Domestic ser
vice; It's Social Disadvantages; Doubtful
Remedies which have been proposed and
occasionally Tried; Possible Remedies and
General Principles underlying them. In
conclusion the book makes strong plea for
a further scientific study of the industry
and for the recognition of its place in the
industrial field on the part of statisticians
and economic specialists. A pamphlet con-
tanning the Preface and n full table OF
contents of Miss Salmons book will be
sent to anyone who will send his address
to the firm. 1t should be clearly under
stood that this is not an order for the
book: it is but an expression OF interest
i'm the subject and wish for further in
formation in regard to the book.
