THE AFTERMATH.

All sorts Of things are being given
as reasons for the rather ignoble end
of the diplomatic career Of Hon.
Charles r. Crane, late minister TO
China. 1t has been reported that ne
is the victim of political intrigue,
but others seem to think that he was
the victim of his own garrulity.
In the light of what has happened
it is rather interesting to read the cd
itorial comment upon Mr.. Cranes ap-
pointment in Golfers of July last. 1t
says:
If there were in the United States
a system which should select men In
their youth and train them both In
scholarship and experience, through
out half lifetime, for just that kind
of diplomacy which is adapted to the
international relations of the present
day, that institution would occasional
ly turn out, as it's most perfect prod
uct in fitness, such an appointment as
that of Charles r. Crane to be minis
ter to China. He is business man
who has handled large affairs with
DOlS0 ana SuCC0SS-duQ tu4S ID 45A e
enough even in a day when nine
tenths of international relations are
inexperienced in commerce and re-
gard it with bored disdain. Mr.. Crane
knows China well and, quite as I'M
portant, knows Russia even more. He
speaks the language and knows the
customs whose mastery will make
him effective. He Is reformer. by
his appointment Mr.. Taft pays no po-
litical debts and secures alone that
kind of political capital which counts
but little in votes. So far as high ap-
probation can go, he should be great
ly rewarded
Mr.. Crane possibly made mistake
in not talking in the language Of Chi
ma and Russia when the reporters IN
terviewed him, but at all events ne
has made it certain that good busf-
ness man is not Decessarily diplo-
mat. aA A-

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 1S.-No hope of

was held out by delegates to the
fourth annual convention of the Amer

Michael Ryan, president Of the asso-

drop slightly for a short time, as there
had been some, increase in the number
of cattle raised recently, but this boon

OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 19.-Stretching

American soil, and, according to Agas-
