Lots Like 1t Being Done Right Here In

Astoria people are surprised at the

teet brings the matter frequently be-
fore the public. At first there were

THE AsToRuAN PUBLISHING CO.,
CONSULAR SERVICE REFORM

&ONSU1Ah SErNiIE INEr ONM
AS soon as the Fifty-eighth congress
has buckled down to business. Senate
Lodges bill providing for sweeping re
form in our consular service will doubt
less be re-snbmitted for consideration
1t failed of passage in the last session
OF theFlfty-seventh congress, but ha:
since been so strongly endorsed by the
National Business League, an organic
alton comprising hundreds of promi-
nent manufacturers, exporters, import.
ers and merchants in general. that Its
chances for passage in the congress are
considered decidedly promising.
There is every reason why 1t should
become law. The bill appears to be
weIl drawn, it is in consonance with the
requirements OF the times. and should
II passed. prove an efficient factor in
promoting the growth of our foreign
trade. Our present consular system is
absolutely and glaringly deficient. 1t
Is obsolete and unbnsinesslike. 1t Is
not representative of the energy and
intelligence OF the American business
community. What we need is a train
ed corps of well-qualified consular of
ficials. Applicants for this important
foreign service should have prelimin-
airy training and knowledge. They
should be conversant with at least one
foreign language--the French, Russian
German, Italian or Spanish.
They should be adaptable, and willing
patiently TO study the habits. customs
and political and economic institutions
Of the country where they are sent.
Most Of our consular officials of the
present day are inexperienced and,
therefore, inefficient They regard their
posts as merely political jobs. They re-
fuse to make special effort TO ascertain
and meet the particular wants of mer-
chants abroad. They look at foreign
conditions and requirements from an
American standpoint exclusively. I'm
like the consular representatives of the
leading European nations, they act on
the singular theory that foreign buyers
should accommodate themselves to Am
erican goods.
If we had a more capable class of con
suls our trade with South American
countries Ito cite only one instance)
would be great deal larger than it is.
The British, German, and French con-
suls in the Latin republics are men
appointed on personal merit alone.
They are good mixers" They are
anxious to please merchants. They
crafty whims. They explain and point
out special advantages. In fine, they
act more like commercial drummers of
proven ability, tact and courtesy. At
the same time they are highly educat-
ed and qualified to enter the best cir
cles of society.
1t is by appointing men of this kind
and of fbic Lind onIv that fha ITntfad |
States can hope to promote its COIN
interests abroad to the extent
that it desires. American consuls |
should be well educated business men,
with a comprehensive grasp of broad
political, economic and legal principles,
rather than untutored and bumptious |

tiations between that country and Russia
The Japanese Parliament meets Decem-

sires to be able to report that It has

otherwise the opposition party is certain
to attack the Ministry Violently. demand

public sentiment to the war point.
1t is pointed out that the negotiations
have dragged recently, especially while
the Gear and his foreign Minister. Count
Lamsdorff, were absent from Russia,
Baron de Rosen. the Russian Minister at
Toxic, representing that nothing definite
could be arranged While they were away.
The Japanese claim that the Russian
tactics have been dilatory throughout.
They point out that Japan first preached
the subject of the Manchurian treaty. and
that when Russia did not fulfill her pledge
to evacuate the second Province Of Man
churia, Russia suggested that the negotia-
lions be deferred until NJ. Lessar, the
Russian Minister to China, who was on
leave Of absence. returned to Pekin.
Then Japan renewed her overtures, and
Russia proposed q further delay until the
Russian War Minister. General Krapot-
kin, had returned from his visit to Japan.
The Japanese, consequently. express the
opinion that the object of Russian policy
has been to gain time to re-enforce the
army and navy of Russia in the far East
so that she might be prepared for possible
war,

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Has 1t ever been your unhappy lot to be
told by you physician that you must go
to a hospital and submit to an operation?
II so, you remember with what dread and
shrinking you awaited the day when you
must endure the knife.
The ~present-day surgeon appears to be
possessed by a mania for operating, espe-
, cially in cases of hemorrhoids or plies. and
while the greater number of the profess
sion do not recommend this last resort"
the fact remains hat much needless OPP
Grating is done, and the patient put to
much expense and suffering for what?
To obtain a possible temporary relief.
In MIN cases out Of ten the affiction re-
turns and the patient is just where he
started from. Oftentimes he could be
cured much more simply and easily by
the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid
Pile Cure. This has come to be recog-
for the painful disease named. and the
druggists now sell more. Of 1t than all
other pile remedies combined.
The writer personally knows people who
bleeding and ~protruding piles. and who
were permanently cured by the use of
Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one Of these
cases the attending physician had assured
eoald sq he ria f himself s9is " Il he az a,se epssati so
much for the infalllbility Of the doctors.
This remedy. which is sold by all drug
gists at the low price OF fifty cents, is in
suppository form. Is applied directly to
quietly and painIessly. The Pyramid Drug
Co., Marshall, Mich. will mail free to
any address q book telling all about piles
or hemorrhoids. their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that II the reader
this book be sent for, as II viii be found
invaluable.

that negotiations were in progress or in
contemplation affecting the absolutely in

foundation.
President Williams of the Seaboard Line
refused TO make any statement regarding
the reported negotiations for q loan.

Air Line years ago. is prominent in the
more recent developments connected with
the system.
No confirmation Of this was o%btainable
