Coaching an Ambassador.

Jimmy, how does the job of ambassador
to France strike you? Good place for a.
young man of means and address, and
you're that sort of chap"
Eyes, but It's entirely beyond my reach"
why so? Think a moment. Arthur, in
his day, sent Waldorf Astor to Rome.
Cleveland sent Perry Belmont to Madrid.
and wanted to send Jimmy Van Allen to
Rome. Jimmy's check to the democratic
campaign fund was no larger than yours to
the republican fund"
But what of the duties of the Office? 1
don't know blessed thing about them"
"Oh, they're easy. Don't worry on that
score. The President gives you letter to
President Loubet, reciting that you are to
look out for Uncle Sans affairs in France,
and saying that any favors shown will be
appreciated by you and by him. You de-
liver that, with little jolly of your own
about Lafayette and the old friendship be-
tween the two nations, and you're off.
Then you retain all of Horace Porter
clerks, who know the ropes and will run
things, and four happy years are spread
before you"
about that fellow Lafayette"
"Oh, well, look him up. Fine old chap.
Blooded. you know, and came over and
helped washington and our ragamuffins
lick Johnny Bull. You can work off some
very pretty sentiments on that theme
But about the newspapers Won't they
write me up again as they did at the time
OF my fancy ball?'
Suppose they do. AS public man you'll
get used to that sort of thing. Kiss it of
with a smile. Pretend to enjoy 1t yourself
And why shouldn't you enjoy it? The beg
gars are not malicious. They help keep
you in the public eye, which is vital in the
case of politician. Why. Beaconsfeld

Cleveland, they tell me, chuckled at the

McCurdy Strips Himself.

The public is advised that the salary of
President McCurdy of the New York Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company has been re-
duced at his request from one hundred and
fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand dol
lars per annum. Times change and sala-
ries change with them. Mr.. McCurdy is a
victim of the wave of concessions to
virtue which just now is sweeping over
the country. He consents like a philoso-
pher to prevailing prejudice. A hasty
thought might be assuring as to the amount
he leaves himself. But we must consider
that, while some men could manage to get
along comfortably on seventy-1Ye thou
sand a year, this man has become accus-
toned to the larger sum, has cultivated
his tastes on that basis, and must sigh
when he reflects on the reverses that have
set in. Henceforth he will suffer as one
with "a champagne appetite and lager
beer income" However, Mr.. McCurdy' S
loss is the public's gain. 1t marks progress
in New York on a line in which the public

the later aspects of the Russian trouble
are highly significant of the historic paral-

just as they did in France. There Is the
same distrust of the throne and of the man

The cars task Is really much heavier than

he should have been the strongest. Nicho-

a population of divergent elements, ready
to fly at each other. He has just lost
costly foreign war. He has no navy worth
mentioning, and his army is honeycombed
with disaffection. His liberal pledges have
failed to reduce the clamors for popular
government. The terrible Russian winter
is about to open, and the people are seri-
ously depleted in resources.
And the man of the hour, who is to

eloomier Reports From Russia.

Today's dispatches from Russia are more

He has had something to say about bosses

over the fate of Cox OF Cincinnati, Durham

Identified with the Tammany organization
At the solicitation of this attorney the ac-
cused was admitted to BAH In the sum of
5000 cash for appearance In the after
noon, the postponement being granted to
give the counsel chance to confer on the
case. When the case was called after re-
cess the defendant failed to appear. His
attorneys told a queer tale to account for
his disappearance and his cash bond was
forfeited.
Immediately the entire city jumps to the
conclusion that the leader of Tammany
Hall, Murphy, has connived at the escape
of this man, whose trial might develop
some awkward facts bringing the guilt too
close to the doors of the wigwam on Four
teenth street. The circumstances are all
Indicative of burning interest higher up"
Sin the disappearance of the repeater. The
fellow probably never had five thousand
cents at one time in all his life, yet he was
able to furnish cash bail in one hundred
times that sum, and he forfeited 1t without
qualm within a few hours.
Now the district attorney of New York
county, whom the people have reelected
because they know he is the kind of man
to dig out just such criminal secrets, has
chance to display his qualities. Who was
sufficiently interested in this mans disap-
pearance to hire lawyers and spend $1,000
in cash to prevent his examination? Per-
haps one way of solution will be to hold
personally responsible the two lawyers in
whose custody the prisoner was permitted
to take recess. Their imprisonment
might persuade them to talk. And if they
tell frank story there will be much more
sensational disclosures TO follow. For IL
there was one repeater under Tammany
auspices at the recent election-a fact viz
tually established by this remarkable case
of bail-jumping-ther were undoubtedly
many others.
The hunt for the crook is indeed getting
very warm
