his young assistant would be able to
circumvent this shrewd girl. It Is not

CONSULAR SALARIES.

Philadelphia Press.
The propriety Of Secretary of State
Sherman resembling the order made dur
ing the Cleveland administration. and
which requires consuls to pay into the
public treasury the fees they receive, in
stead of apporpriating them to their own
use is being discussed by the newspapers.
and very varying opinions are expressed.
The order Of Secretary Olney was made
near the end of his term and when it was
perfectly evident that the consuls whom
Quincy had billeted on the service would
have TO give way to their appointees. But
while it was death-bed repentance order,
there may be some merit in it, although
1t has undoubtedly reduced the income of
many consuls below the living point But
instead of restoring the fees TO consuls. It
would be better to raise consular salaries
TO a level that compares with the service
rendered and the dignity of the office
filled. other countries DO this, and it is
not an inspiring sight to see this great,
rich nation making beggars of the men
whom It sends to represent its interests
abroad.

THEIR REAL REASONS.
Now York Tribune.

New York Tribune
Russia says it dhe Cretan question:
shall not be settled, because she wants
Crete herself, and she has a particular
hatred for Greece. Germany says it shall
not be, because the Emperor is angry
with his sister for the manner of her mar
rage 10 the Crown Prince Of Greece. and
because the young champion Of the divine
right of kings is unwilling TO let any peo-
pie have any voice in choosing their own
government. France says it shall not be-
because she wants to please, or does not
want to displease, Russia. Great Britain
says it shall not be, because she is con-
tent to say ditto" to France. And Aus
Hungary and Italy say 1t shall not be-
because they are mercy following the
crowd. And so these six great powers, so
solicitous for the peace of Europe. rather
than settle the thing right and peaceably,
insist on settling it wrong, even at the risk
of war.

Nobody yet knows what the rates in

will know with any certainty until the two

day against all the dutiable foreign goods

the rates materalize and acquire the force

A FAT CONSULATE.

Boston Herald.
Few people know exactly what the Of
flee of consul general to London is worth
to its occupant, but there is no doubt
that its emoluments are considerably less
than they are reported to be. There was
time when it yielded $4,000 net to the
consul general, but that was before it was
required that portion of the fees be
turned into the government. 1t is fact
that the recent occupants of the office. in
Guiding Thomas NJ. Waller. John c. New
and Gen. Collins. were all disappointed in
their official income. though this is not
saying that the office is not the latest
one in the gift of the President. 1t is I'M
derstood that Gen. Collins has been able
to lay aside something like $4,000 during
his four years sojourn in London, and he
and his family have lived handsomely
during their residence abroad.

THE CRAZE FOR NEW OFFICES.
Atlanta Constitution.
The creation Of new Offices seems 20
have become a craze which must be met
sooner or later and squelched. This de-
sire to increase the office-holdiaS class
makes itself manifest in the numerous pro-
posals to add new departments % the ma
tional administration. Almost 2v"ry
bureau of any Importance in any one of
the present departments has grown,to be
so self-sufficient that they imagine they
should he represented at the Presidents
council table. This would call for new
cabinet officer. for an assistant, for first
and second assistant. and directly for sew
eral thousand subordinate officers in or
der TO add proper dignity to the big man
who has succeeded in having his name
added 10 the eight who now sit with the
President.
