Consular Reform.
From the New York Tribune.

The United States consular service has
been greatly improved in recent years, but
it is still far from being a perfect instru-
ment for the development of our foreign
commerce. The old idea that a consulate
is a convenient berth for political workers
to a considerable extent stifl holds sway,
and the offices, especially those which are
largely remuneratlye, are almost always
bestowed political rewards. The Lodge
was pressed in the last Congress, but the
influence of the 90 spoilsmen was great
enough to defeat It. The advocates of the
reform are not discouraged. The National
Business League is making an active cam
paign to arouse interest in the matter, is
seeking any information which may lead
to the still further perfection of the meas
