DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS.

In the list of diplomatic appoint
ments announced recently there were
no surprises. AS a matter of fact.
surprises in the line of patronage are
rare these days. Newsgatherers are Wig
liant and every move of managing poll
iticians and their ambitious friends
toward office is noted and reported II
Mr. Smith wants to go abroad to serve
the country, or Mr.. Jones wants to
euvers are in some way exposed, and
the public promptly gets the story.
Sometimes sentiment is taken in
advance by suggestion, shrewdly
put out, that Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Jones
is under consideration for an import
ant place. which is named. Then the
public speaks, and the politicians and
the appointing power get line on
things. If there is approval, and good
reasons for it, SO much appears, and
the appointment follows. If there is
| disapproval and good reasons for that,
| nothing follows but the statement that
the suggestion was but an idle rumor
| 1t is to be observed, too, that the
| list with but one or two exceptions,
marks the recognition of experience
! by the administration. The men named
/ even the secretaries. have transacted
! diplomatic business at one place or
another, and in the new places should
soon feel at home. They will need no
| guide to show them around.
Mr. Kerens is to try his hand for
the first time. A successful man of
business and a political manager,
long operating against heavy odds, he
Knows men and everyday values well.
and has an everyday way Of making
friends. He is popular even with his
political opponents. We have tried
| such men in diplomacy and sonnet mes
with excellent results. Mr. Kerens goes
to an important capital, and the ad-
vanced years of the Austrian emperor
may make it more important in the
next four years than ever If Francis
Joseph should die in that time, Aus
trian affairs might become for sea-
son the most interesting in Europe.
We have worked up thus to a very
satisfactory condition of diplomatic
service by promotions. and it should
justify itself. 1t is a fact however,
not to be lost sight of, that this has
been made possible by the long con-
troll of affairs by one party. The re-
publicans have ruled the roost since
March, 1871 period of nearly thir-
teen years What will take place three

an or another. come in is mere conjec-
ture.- But it is safe conjecture that
pressure will be brought to bear in
that case. as after March, 1897 for re-
; cognition of the faithful" and that
many of the faithful, upon party con-
siderations alone, will find good as
, signments abroad.
