Our Diplomatic Service.

The president is showing judiciOus
caution before filling the Chinese mis-
sion. Concerning the gentleman orig
inally selected for that mission but
subsequently held up for more careful
investigation We know nothing addi-
tional to what has been printed in the
newspapers. The tenor OF this inform
alton is that Mr. Charles Page Bryan,
" lille Of admirable y rsOnal character
and social standing, is not sufficiently
experienced i'm large public affairs and
especially i'm the ways and means Of
diplomacy to cope with the task which
recent complications promise to put
upon the next American mnist r to
China.
How true this is We do not know, and
it is clearly to the presidents credit
that, before acting finally, he has TAX
en- pains to have convincing inquiry
made But apart from the personal
significance Of this incident the pres
ent seems a good time to remark that
no American ought to be appointed to
represent his country i'm a foreign land
and robust courage there is any
reasonable doubt. No president may
safely assume that any foreign
mission involving the safeguarding
of American interests and per-
chance American lives in foreign
lands is unimportant. Inasmuch as il
is usually the unexpected that happens,
the rule 9f the appointing power should
be- to select for the governments for
| rign service no man concerning whom
! there is the slightest lack Of faith or
uncertainty of Endorsement. In this

| guessed American consulate may at

II is tho opinion Of Mr.. Rothwcll that

therefore, that they trust only to the
opinion of expert mining engineers who
have made careful personal examination
Of the property offered for sale. We be-
lieve the advice to be sound. In no other

WANTED--A BANKRUPTCY LAW
From tho Philadelphia Times.

From the PhiladelI hia Times.
IT is Il propitious time to inaugurata a
well-digcsted ccmprchens i've and thor
oughly equitable law regulating The cs-
tates of hankrupts. The conflicting pro-
visions of the various states for the col
lection of debts, ana the serious alb
stuclcs which often intcrposc to prevent
the enforcement Of claims of foreign Crcd-
itors against resident debtors, greatly
hinder trade between the different states,
aud only by uniform bankrupt law can
creditors and debtors generally be put on
a thoroughly tair and Just footing. such
a law is needed i'm the interests of buSi-
ness and trade. and congress should en-
act such Il statute before the close of the

Thinks The People
Will Boss Things



"'rhc Philadelphia Inquirer apparently
takes it for granted that the bushwhaCk-
Crs will control the next state convention
and run it rcgai dless of public sentiment.
IT history prCst nts no warning aC liaSt
such a progr lmmc then it will be the
bushwhaCkers' fault II history shall lie
repeated
1t is little difficult to understand what
the Scranton Tribune, which l. response
hle for the above paragraph is driving
at. So far as the Inquirer is concerned, it
takes no such thing for granted, hut
does believe that the coming stat, con-
NentiOn will be controlled by the RcpuD-
liCan people How can it be otherwise" d"
Every year we have the story that Sena-
tor Quay makes the slate. We presume
the same charge will he brought. in fact
is already brought against the coming
convention. Yet it Is a fact, which The
Tribune should know. that Senator Quay
iS taking no part whatever i'm the contest.
and that We are going to have Il canva IS
between the various candidates wholly
free from diCtatiOn.
The Inquirer believes that the people
| should have the largest liberty of cX-
| preston. make up their own minds, elect
| their own delegates and be responsible
| in every way tor the work of the con-
Ventun. There is every indication that
| If Mr.. Connell who now controls the
Scranton Tribune. can secure the MAJOR
| itN of the delegates to the convention 1t
will give the Inquirer the greatest pleas
| ure To support him. If Mr.. Leisenring his
ncighbOr, shall he the successful aspir-
| ant We will take the lead in eleCtlng him.
| If Colonel William \. Stone or Charles
W. Stone or any one of the numerous
| candidates in the congressional delegation
| shall be named there need be no fear as
| to the attitude of This journal. All that
| We desire is that the convention shall be

who will carry the election by a large ma

The Advantage oftionesty.

Nothing is easier than to jump on
man when hc is down. Eut it is graft
fying to observe that this customary
practice has very generally been waived
i'm the case of William NJ. Singerly. and
we intcrnrCt this fact to mean that
honesty of intention combined with
generous instincts and record with
out stain vet suffice in the world Of
business to outweigh disaster arising
wholly from errors OF judgment plus
the general debilitation incident to
hard times. Had there been disclosed
i'm the Sngcrly embarrassment any
trace Of duplCitY or SUSPICION Of con-
scious guilt. Mr.. Singerly's past char
aCtpr would have aNailcd little 90 save
him from wholesale condemnation: but
his manly action in throwing open to
the world the whole condition of his
affairs and in offering to his creditors
without reserve the total of his per-
sonal holdings in satisfaction of their
Indebtedness, although no more than
what an honest man ought to do, is
yet SO vivid in contrast with many
modern business operations that it has
preserved not simply his personal self
respect but also the respect and warm
sympathy of the entire public.
Mr.. SinSerly will recover his business
equilibrium and regain his prestige, be-
cause men of his calibre cannot be
kept down. \ similar instance of
business honesty destined to prove tri-
umphant over revcrseS is visible sim
ultaneously in New York in the case

under in business. but each time he
rose again to the surface, satisfying
utterly every debt and retaining the
! complete confidence of the public. The
| lesson of his experience, likewise, is
! that it pays to be honest. and this is
| the more notable and encouraging in
/ view of the opinion which prevails IN
