One would feel inclined to smile at
the ridiculous condition of affairs at
the United States consulate in this city
were 1t not for the fact that serious
contemplation of it Is humiliating in
the extreme to all Americans resident
here who desire that their country and
its represen tstives be respected. That
a very great improvement in the con-
duct OF the business of this particular
consulate Is contamination most de-
voutly to be wished, is unquestionsble,
and for many reasons it is to be hoped
that the state department of the United
States will order an investig CATION into
its affairs. We can readily understand
that, while the United States govern
ment continues to appoint as consuls
men and boys who have no particular
fitness for such important positions,
errors and mistakes must naturally
occur. But there are very good
reasons why this consulate general
should be filled by an exceptionally
able official. and in view of that fact
we hope that such cognizance of it's
affairs will be taken as may give to
Americans in Mexico the relief we
pray for.-Mexican Herald.
