british Diplomatic Salaries.

Much has been said and written during
the past few years concerning the differ
eLCes between the English diplomatic sys-
TEN and the American, and, until lately,
almost always TO the disparagement of the
latter. Little, however, is ever said on the
score of the comparative emoluments of
the diplomatic posts of the two govern
ments. There is now just al hand an in
tefesting little fat book entitled who's
Who?" published in London, which gives
not only the names of all the notables of
the civil. military and diplomatic services
of the British empire, but adds the inter-
esting facts oil salaries attached to the
various high posts of the nations system
By means of this guide it is possible to
note the fact that the English diplomats
almost without exception receive much
larger salaries than do their corresponding
American colleagues in the international
field. Sir Julian Pauncefote, ambassador at
Washington, receives 50, 900 a year as sal
airy. not counting perqusites. Mr.. Joseph
| Choate, as ambassador at London, will re-
| ceive $1,000 a year. The British ambassa-
! dor at Paris receives SIS. 600, at Berlin s4O,-
| 900, and at St Petersburg 500, eco as
against s1T,500 paid to the American am
| bassadors at those capitals. The British
| the American $4,000. The British ambas-
| sador a Constantinople receives $4,000 and
| the. American minister $4,000. The same
| disproportion runs all through the list, as
| to both ministers and consuls the British

amount paid by the United States 1t is

VIZ. AIlisnn,s Decisinu.

The announcement that MIR. Allison is to
remain ut the head of the appropriations
committee Of the Senate is one in which the
whole country may take hearty satisfac-
ton. That committee is always charged
with work of importance. 1t does not rise
or fail in the scale as other committees do,
with the issues Of the day. There have
been times when even the Finance and the
Foreign Relations Committees had little to
do. But the business of preparing the gov
ernments supply bills is always of the first
consequence. and always calls for wisdom,
plenty of hard work, and a wide range of
useful information. 1t cannot be neglected
or poorly performed but to the injury of the
whole country.
The supply bills. it is true, do not origi-
nate in the Senate. But custom has given
10 the Senate such liberal power in revising
the work of the House that the work of re-
vision often takes on the aspect of initla-
tiou in matters of real magnitude; and in
ali conferences between the two houses on
the subject OF appropriations the Senate is
on a perfect equality with the House. The
chairman Of the Senate Committee on APP
preparations therefore exercises power from
which the country may expect no adequate
dement, unless II Is repOsed il man Of d
very high order OF character and ability.

tors in opposition to the treaty as 1t stands,
half of the Senate and far more than
enough to defeat the treaty on direct vote
for ratification. To amend the treaty will
require a majority vote, forty-six. The
proposition for a compromise amendment
is thus seen to be no less than sugges-
ton that twenty-eight senators-or less
be permitted to WELD the power which be-
longs to forty-six or more. Why do not these
alleged twenty-eight combine with the al
legged seventeen, making forty-five, and trust
to good fortune and good management to
secure one more vote somewhere wherewith
to carry an amendment? 1t may be that the
twenty-eight who are said to be willing to
compromise by amendment-which would be
a compromise all on one side--can not count
upon the seventeen thus figured out to be
in absolute opposition. Yet it is not clear
what the seventeen-or less-have to ex-
pect from continued obstruction. If they
accept this compromise they defeat the pol
icy of expansion at the Threshold. They
accomplish all they can hope to gain. Some
sort of treaty must eventually be ratified
The war can not go on forever, even under
truce. The matter must be settled on a
permanent basis. Is 1t possible, in the light
of these matters, that the opposition is real
ly measured by the twenty -eight-or less
who are now said to have made this propo-
sitIon TO the friends of the treaty? If So,
why should they not be forced to declare
themselves at once. for ratification or for
defeat, for compromise or for filibuster,
so openly and Enthusiastically that the world
may know who is standing in the way of
peace?

The Senate's StuItifyinS Delay.

From the hcago-Times Herald.
That there is no excuse for the humil-
iating delay of the Senate is proved by the
rapidly with which it acted in the series
of votes that rushed US into the war with
Spain. Then was the time for deliberation,
if ever. But the Senate acted as if some
one was driving rowels deep into it's dila-
tory sides.
Now, when it's action is necessary to
bring the peace negotiations to an honor
able conclusion, it sleeps upon its duties
and wakes UP to make speeches that can
not change a vote alter a single pro-
vision in the treaty.
In every court of Europe there is amaze
ment and Scorn over the sterile and stulti-
flying action of the United States Senate.
Even in Paris impotence ard frvolity find
in the obstructed Spanish-American treaty
cause for congratu ating France that she
is not the only republic in the world where
patriotism sleeps while dangers and diff
culties multiply.
While can afford to bear the taunts
and sneers of Europe, We may have to pay
dearly for the contempt of American au-
thOrity the Senate's delay breeds in the
Philippines. Firmness and promptitude are
the first requisites in dealing with such a
situation. The Senate forbids either While
we pause the natives have time for con-
spiracy and rebellion.
Today the United States Senate Is a
mil stone about the neck of American ac-
ton in the Philippines.

The war with Spain was not party war.
Ii grew out Of a national sense OF duty
All parties and all sections subscribed to
the proposition that Spain. for her offenses
against civilization. should be punished

spirit and considered neither politics nor

brigaded the men of the south and the men
of the north togcth her. put into commission

from democrats, populists and republicans

When Dewey sunk the Spanish fleet at Ma
Mia. when Sampson and Schley finished
Cervera at Santiago, and Shafter and

The whole matter from its incipiency
then having been truly national and nom
partisan, it is all the more greatly to be
regretted that, at the treaty stage, it
should now take on the aspect of party, and
even of faction. The opposition to the treaty
in the Senate is nine-tenths democratic. 1t
is led by an aspirant for the democratic
nomination for President next year. 1t is
composed of men who voted for the war,
who appiauded the achievements of the
war-and none more vigorously than the
sea fight at Mainland who We're consult

commits this government to no particular

been formally accepted by the ratification
Of the treaty.

The Harm Delay May Work.


Senator Hoar and the other obstruction
lists must know that complications of a
serious nature are liable to result from
continued delay. Latest reports indicate
that even if Aguinaldo does not lose his
head his subordinates are likely to break
away from his restraint. Natives have
been discovered smuggling Mauser rifles
into Manila itself, and they are freely
predicting an attack upon the city. The
situation of the American soldiers is one
that ought not to be prolonged a day more
than is necessary. They are defending
hostile Spanish prisoners against hostile
natives, and yet are under orders not to
precipitate conflict if it can be avoided
1t Is unfair to our soldiers, injurious to our
prestige and subversive of good order
throughout the islands. The peace treaty
should have been ratified before now II
Is the most important and pressing matter
before the Senate. If 1t Is delayed much
longer 1t will be impossible to establish
a wise and just government of the Phjlip-
pine Islands without bloodshad in dealing
with Aguinaldo's impudent rabble. Let the
treaty be ratified without further delay.

Postal Inconvenience.

During the long years of waiting for
proper post office facilities for the nation S
capital there was consolation in the thought
that when at last the new building for this
purpose was finished Washington would
enjoy comforts and conveniences thorough
ly in accord With all modern opportunities
and compromising for the delays and the
inadequacies of the past. The building is
sufficiently finished to be of local and
the people are visiting it by hundreds daily.
1t is in order to note that much has yet to
be done there to give the public the degree
of convenience which the character and size
of the city demand. Until a few days ago
there were no signs to indicate the stamp
windows or to distinguish between those
where stamps We're sold at retail and those
for wholesale transactions. But even with
! the signs there is an inadequacy of force
at times which is annoying. especially dur
ing the busy hQEr between and 0 o'clock,
when the departmental employees are in a
hurry to post their letters. 1t is often the
case that only one retail window is open
and a line of waiting people is frequently
| to be seen. The letter drops are located
| in the east corridor, some steps away from
| the entrance, and not in sight from the
front. There is no sign to direct the people
| to these drops which must be found by
much questioning wandering. When
reached they are not as convenient as
though they were more plainly marked. The
signs over them, distinguishing between the
various sorts of mail matter and routes,
are small and in some lights almost illegi-
BILE. There is no contrast between the let
ter and the body of the sign and only with
difficulty is the proper drop found. The
facilities for the addressing of letters, the
stamping of envelopes and the performance
of the many small details which are de-
manded by the constant use of the post Of
| flee are entirely inadequate. Two small
desks, each capable of accommodating not
more than two people comfortably, stand
| exposed to the whims of the air whenever
| the doors are opened. The storm doors on
| the outside do not seem to be well adjusted
| for the inner door is swung open the en-
| trance door of the vestibule is drawn in by
| the suction and direct draught is estab-
| lished which is often strong enough to blow
| away stamps, letters and other papers
| which may be placed temporarily on the
| small desks. 1t is to be assumed that these
| details will eventually be attended to by
the officials in charge, but to the outsider
| there seems to be little reason why they
| cannot at once supply the deficiencies and
remedy the defects which are within cure.
| 1t is to be regretted that the misfortunes
| OF the architects in the designing and con-
| StructlOn of the great pile should be given
| tangible form in the little details which
| measure the post Offices degree of useful

Tributes to Mr.. Dingley.
From the Boston Herald.

The public will have to wait for the con-
gressional eulogies to CONGRESSMAN Ding
ley to learn fully how much he was es-
teemed among his associates. In the mean
time. those that come from the press are
remarkable. We remember no instance in
public life-not excepting that SO recently
realized In the case of Senator Morrill,
where public man was more spontaneous
ly and heartily praised than Is this repre-
sentative from Maine. A pronounced parti-
san always, and steadily distancing in his
progress to distinction the most of his party
friends, he had no enmites among his no.
litical opponents. and no envyings among
his political associates. He won his way
to fsme by genuine deserving, and in at
tanning 1t he never wounded the feelings
of any of his contemporaries, or sought to
push others aside to promote his own ambi-
ton. 1t Is difficult to remember an instance
of one in high position who exhibited fewer
of the weaknesses of humanity there than
did Nelson Dingley.
