thinking when he left the United

secret understanding between
America and England which made

When he found all these things
out he indicated his self-respeot
by resigning. Then it was that the
State Department, in order to save
itself from criticism, stopped to the
level of q common gossip and ao-
cused him of cowardice.

pansion of American foreign trade has
thus far been effective in bringing the
subject before congress In tangible form.
A measure is now pending which looks
to the establishment of an improved con-
sular service, in which the merit system
will be the chief feature, and which, If
substantially carried out must in the
course of time operate to place the serv-
ice on a safe and sensible basis. The
measure authorizes the appointment by
the president of commission to assist
him in the work of reorganization. The
commission is to be composed of two SEN
of the state department, and it's mem
bership is to be distributed fairly po-
litically. Under it consular appointments
will be made after examination of the APP
two department officials. Original admis-
sion is to be secured only in the lowest
grade of the service, and promotions will
be according to merit, and after competi-
tive examination. The tenure Of office is
during good behavior, and promotions are
secured only as the result of experience,
knowledge and fitness.
There is much in the bill as outlined
that 1t is hard to understand. This diff
ficulty of understanding is doubtless due
to the politics which lies concealed in its
does not propose that the start will be
made in the undertaking without some
reference at least to the effect on his own
political fortunes Of the initial steps
taken to put it in operation. And it Is
not improbable that 1t is designed, to some
extent at least, as all such undertakings
have been in the past, to secure num-
Der of party politicians in the offices
which they presently hold.
But after all such objections are ex-
hausted the fact remains that the most
essential requirement to the establish
ment of a capable consular service is
recognized by the measure which is the
holding of office during good behavior,
and the admission to the service only at
the foot of the official ladder. This is
the principle for which all friends Of re-
form in this direction have been holding
out during many years. The large com
mercial interests Of the country who are
engaged. in foreign trade. have been loud
in the demand for such a service; but
their demands, ait least until the last ses-
sion of congress, when this measure had
been seriously considered, have been
ignored It is earnestly to be hoped that
the measure in question or an equivalent
of it will soon become law.

Natural causes have met the require

years, giving us a greater volume of gold
money than we ever had before of gold
and silver money combined. For this,
and many other reasons. the silver ques-

Croker, Whitney and others in the East
cannot mislead Republicans as to its be-

IMPROVED CONSULAR SERVICE.

The Improvement of the consular serv-
ice of the United States has received
general discussion at intervals for many
years past But politics has remained
the controlling force in appointments to
that service, and is as much so today as
1t ever was Every class Of intelligent
citizens recognizes that a trained and ex-
perienced consulateis the first prerequisite
TO the promotion of American commercial
interests in foreign lands. The PROPOSE
ton is indeed plain to INSTRUMENTATION.
No foreign market can be made available
as readily or as completely in the first
instance without as with the presence
on the ground Of a representative Of the
nation affected who is alive to the COM
mercial possibilities of the situation Nor
can the rights and interests of merchants
be as completely safeguarded.

INDIAN CRADLE SONG.


Swing thee low In thy cradle soft,
Deep in the dusky wood;
Swing thee low and swing aloft-
Sleep, as papoose should;
For safe Is your little birchen nest,
Quiet will come, and peace and rest,
If the little papoose is good.
The coyote howls on the prairie cold.
And the owlet boots In the tree:
And the big moon shines on the little
child
AS it slumbers9 peacefully:
So swing thee high in thy little nest.
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night wind brings to thee.
The father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming of hunt and fight,
And the limeieaves rustic with mournful
sound
All through the solemn night;
But the little papoose in his birchen nest,
Is swinging low as he takes his rest,
TIL the sun brings the morning light

.When a man drops from sheer ex-

too much like common sense or hui
mainly, and he will be likely to balk again
when overloaded.
'Ply the whip frequently on man who
is at work. No matter If he Is doing his
best, hit him often, lest he take some
comfort If his load is light, oblige him
to go faster to make up for it. Work,

THE DAY AND THE MAN.

NO American pubic holiday is observed
more reverently than that Of the anniver-
sary of the birth of Washington. His
contemporaries freely. awarded to that
great man all that history has claimed
for him; and as the years go by and re-
search goes on into the events of the
great epoch In which he played so prom
inent a part, and into the events OF his
personal life, it is a remarkable fact that
Washington's character remains that OF
truly great and just man, a patriot, hu-
manitarian a man of genius, to whom
came the greatest opportunity vouchsafed
to mortal. and who acquitted himself so
as to leave him immortal. .
The American people have shown
disposition to defy Washington This IS
not to their discredit Granting the SLAM
ders which assailed him, personal or po-
lidcal, during his lifetime the greatest
weight which the truth will award to
them, the man who is accepted as the
Father of his Country still remains above
and beyond the grandest characters in
the worlds history, the best-rounded and
the most complete type among the bene-
factors of the race.
Many of the dangers which Washington
foresaw as likely to threaten the perpet-
utity of the free institutions which he
did SO much to found on this continent
are already upon US. The vast growth Of
the country in wealth; the perils OF con-
quest; the insidious consequences of al
lance with foreign nations; the dlsp.ace-
ment of the simple habits of democratic
people by the rule of riches and luxury,
assume threatening proportions. But as
long as this people continue to accept
the teachings of Washington, and to re-
we're his public and private character, as
they do today, there is little fear Of such
deviation from the paths of democracy,
either on the part of our statesmen or of
the mass of the people, as need give vi
tai concern to the friends of liberty any
where.
There is corruption permeating every
American masses remain sound and
wholesome at the core. The deep SINGER
fly with which today they lay aside the
cares of business to commemorate the
virtues of the leading character in their
history shows what an abiding place has
the life and example of Washington in
the minds of his countrymen.
AS on the Fourth of July the Declara-
ton Of Independence Is regularly read
among our people, and on Decoration day
the people lay their tributes of sorrow
and love on-the graves of those who died
to save the country, so on Washingtons
birthday 1t ought to be that our people
should assemble in public places and have
read publicly before them the second
great document of the American Revolu-
ton, Washingtons farewell address.
With its precepts in their minds, there
can be no fear that this people will ever
fail in their devotion to the benefcent
constitutional system which Washington
and his contemporaries bequeathed to
them, as the grandest possession of any
people eXtant

Cause of Milwaukee In Seeking
COnvention-ResuIt Is Due Today.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-On the eve
OF the meeting Of the national Demo-
cratic committee, which assemblies here
tomorrow to fix the time and place for
holding the national Democratic conven,
ton, Kansas City and Milwaukee ars
struggling earnestly for the honor of
entertaining the convention. Although
there is some desultory talk Of Cincin-
natl as compromise, the fight is be-
tween Milwaukee and the metropolis of
the Southwest, with the chances tonight
seemingly in favor of the latter city.
Both cities have headquarters at the Raj
eigh hotel.
Milwaukee has raised a fund of 100000
for the entertainment Of the committee.
The amount which Kansas City has
proposed to expend has not been dis
closed Senator Jones, chairman Of the
committee, is holding aloof from the
fight, and not throwing the weight Of
his influence either way.
The Milwaukee boomers are making
much of the political effect of holding
the convention In Wisconsin for Its ef-
feet upon the Germans who. they as
sert. are disposed to be hostile to the
administrations expansion policy.
After counting noses tonight, Kansas
City claimed a. clear majority of the
votes, but the Milwaukee contingent were
equally certain that they had a MAJ
jority.
The consensus of opinion Is that the
convention will be held before the Re,
publican convention, early in June, or
probably the last week in May.
