Consular Promotions.

The decision OF the president to
adopt the promotion system in the Sc
lection OF men to fill important consul
lar Offices will, if the civil service
system is not too closely applied. re-
suit in steady Improvement of the
consular service When young men
feel that appointment to a minor con
sulship does not mean that a man is
to be put off into some hole from
which he has no chance to extricate
himself, but that, on the contrary
good work in a minor office will insure
promotion TO a better, there will be
some incentive to good work.
These promotions must, however
be made with discrimination. If the de-
sired results are to be obtained
While our present consular system
may be open to improvement, the fact
must not be lost sight of that it brings
results which are the envy of Euro
pean merchants, suffering as they are
from the red tape OF an officiaIdom en-
throned in power by ii civil service
system which fails to take into ac-
count special qualifications of aspi-
rants Promotion in the consular ser
vice OF those governments is more
matter of tenure Of office than Of any
display OF merit, and that is the nat
ural tendency of the operations of the
civil service system everywhere. Ger
man and British and French CONNER
cial societies are always calling for
better results from their consular Off
GERS and hold up IS models the reports
made by American consuls, most or
whom have not been away from nome
so long as to lose the American
spirit.
If promotions are to be made be
cause OF demonstrated merit, the inno-
walton agreed upon by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of State Hay
will probably be beneficial; but the
present system gets better results
than are obtained by foreign govern
ments under their civil service meth
DDS. The possibility of falling into
that rut should be carefully guarded

It's Best Results.

That the new vagTancy law is bring
ing substantial results is shown not
only by the number OF arrests made
in the cities and towns in accordance
with its provisions, but particularly
by the reports concerning the labor
situation in the agricultural sections
Of the state
Bib county farmers are quoted else
where as testifying that one effect
of the law has been to impress upon
the negroes the advisability of get
ting to work Farmers who have
heretofore found it difficult to obtain
hands because the floating population
has preferred to loaf, are having a diff
ferent experience now the negro has
discovered that but two alternatives
present themselves to him, either to
work in the fields OF to work for the
counties and the municipalities upon
the roads Harvest time fever, super
induced by the micrObe Of laziness, is
bv no means so general or so virulent
as it once was. The shiftless whites
and the shiftless negroes are busily
getting busy
This was the chief end the support
ers OF the Calvin law had in mind.
The general assembly in enacting that
measure sought 10 make people work
who would not otherwise work, not to
fill the iails and the chaingangs. Since
the shiftless class has been made to
realize that the law means business,
there will be fewer arrests, because
arrests will be unnecessary; but the
law will be bringing daily results and
good results, all the same.

Damaged War Ships.

! The usually accurate Baltimore
American is authority for the state
ment that more ships were injured in
the recent sham battles along the New
England coast than were damaged in
the entire war with Spain; and that,
further. in value of ships injured the
cost was greater than during the
whole civil war, from 1861 to 1865.
It is possible there may be eXag-
geratlon in the estimate of the money
damage sustained. but there can be no
nuestion that the two Spanish fleets at
Manila and at Santiago did not 60 our
navy as much harm as has been done
in those summer maneuverS off the
New England coast.
The responsibility Tor this should be
the subject of rigid investigation. Is
If true. or is il not, that the primary
object of sending the warships to the
foggy waters off Maine and other New
ENGLAND states is to please the
wealthy resortcrs who are summering
IN there, ard the proprietors Of those
simmer resorts? Does the RESPONSE
biljty for the various accidents to the
ships of the fleet belong to the navi-
gators. or may it properly be attrib-
uted to the conditions under which
this expensive war game is played?

If, as reported, the trouble has come
from contact with uncharted rocks, is
not somebody responsible for the i'm
projections Of those charts? great
deal of money has been appropriated
TO the navy for this work OF preparing
proper charts, and certainly if the
waters OF any section OF the country
have been given religious and prayer
full consideration, it mas been those of
New England.
This "uncharted rock" business
sounds fishy. To the landlubber, the
responsibility for these accidents,
which have seriously crippled some of
the best ships of the navy. calling not
only for heavy repair expenses, but
putting these ships out OF commission,
would seem to be upon the official or
officials who ordered war game"
off the fog-bound coast of Maine. The
demand that the responsibility for all
this trouble be fixed is certainly not
unreasonable. The expense Of these
accidents seems likely TO run Up into
the millions OF dollars. and the tax

"westerner' ard as 4 splendid repre-

Who's Hunt, anyway? Let us have
something definite about him.

conviction that the ideal running mate
