his seat until Mr.. Bonyngc had

TRIALS OF DIPLOMATS.

They We're Many In the Early Days
of American History.
There exists a popular tendency to
overrate the delights and to underrate

that the office of an American diplo-

A FENDER ORDINANCE.

According TO a resolution Of the street
and sewer Department the local street
railways win be compelled to equip all
enrs with tenders and wheel guards
within forty-hve days. This resolution
,s IN response TO general sentiment
demanding this sort Of protection.
The railway lines in the past have
shown disposition 10 abide by such
a decree. providing its terms are rea-
sonable. But there appears to be the
same fatal objection to this resolution
that there was to the provisions Of the
ordinance passed by couneil-whieh
was declared null and void-it pro-
vides that these Tenders shall be ap-
proved by the department
At first blush that proviso appears
reasouablc. but when II Is Interpreted
At must seem utterly unfair For we
observe that no particular tenders arc
specified, not even their general nature
is set forth. This means that the rail-
way companies will be obliged to equip
their cars with tenders on a pure guess
and the street and Sever Department
may conslgn the whole lot TO the
scrap heap.
II would have been much better had
the department prescribed tenders OF
general nature. for then the companies
,,irht have had some certainty OF hav.
ing their selection approved; hut We
doubt whether they viii undertake th'
expensive experiment Of guessing th'
state OF the ofiicial mind. Il appear
20 as that the railway companies nigh
very properly say: I'VE viii equip on
cars with tenders when YOU specify IN
kind you want us to buy we are not n

NEW YoRk REPuaLIcANs.

The New York Republican convention
yesterday, as anticipated. instructed its
delegates TO use all honorable means
to bring about the nomination OF
Roosevelt. and adopted platform
which follows the orthodox Republican
lines.
It named as delegates at large the
big Four Platt Odell Black, Depew.
This may be taken as an indication
that there is to be harmony and q
united action ON the part Of the New
York leaders IN securing the nominal
tion and election Of Roosevelt.
Interest in the platform arises chiefly
from the fact that 1t is probably in
large measure an embodiment of the
views OF the President, since this is
the declaration OF the Republicans OF
his own State and at a convention
where the delegates are pladged to his
support
Il challenges the Democrats on al
policies, past present and future. and
declares for the continuance Of the
policies under which the country has
prospered.
Protection and sound money are th'
main planks, as usual and they arr
likely 10 be prominent issues IN tn
approaching campaign, unless indeed
Bryan and his school should be utterl,
repudiated, IN which case free coinag'

A news item says that the Brideshoro,

as saying that 'the members fear that
they cannot do their Christian duty

leads to swearing and lighting"

than two are used. The little bell
