Our Rented
Legation Buildings.

China is to build homo for its lega-
tion in Washington. Meantime, our
| own ministers and ambassadors have
to occupy rented homes in various
| foreign countries. 1t does seem as if
something were wrong here.
The thing which is wrong is proba
| bly, false notion OF economy and
self-respect II is all of a piece with
the idea that any sort of American cit
izen who can hold office at home is
fitted for the duties Of a diplomat. 1t
he is not a matchmaker, or to an cleo
| trician that he is not a carpenter. Men
who are quite equal TO the duties of
official life in America have from the
/ beginning of the Republic made more
or less of bungle of filling diplomatic
posts abroad.
early years of the country's history for
two reasons. First, the country was
small and young, and could not be cx-
pected to furnish palaces for its diplo-
mats. Second, these diplomats were at
first men who were accustomed 10 Off
cial society. Social life was much
simpler then, and a man who had had
what was called the education of a
gentleman was at home anywhere. The
whole constitution of things was diff
ferent In this age of specialization
and training it is more than ever i'm
portant that our diplomats should be
men trained in one way or another for
their posts, and that they should have
at hand all the paraphernalia neces
sary to enable them TO do their work.
Heretofore they have generally had
TO supplement their salaries by the
use Of their private means, and take
the difference out in honor and glory.
which is not a very dignified thing for
a minister OF the United States to have
to do. 1t is absolutely necessary for
diplomat TO entertain, and to entertain
he must have house in which to do
it. He should not be compelled TO fur
nish that house for himself

be right. But they have never taken ad-
vantage OF it and cannot now, because
they find so much OF the ground occupied
by the Republicans.

of British methods of hampering his eX-

find British warships assigned to attack

A Painting of Mckinley.

A large oil painting of William McKin-
ley, representing him as delivering his
address at the Buffalo Exposition, has
been placed on exhibition in the public
reception room of the Senate. 1t attracts
so much attention that it may be neces-

place.
The portrait is thought by Senator

probably be offered for sale to the Gov
ernment. although as yet no such propo-
sition has been made.
