PROTECT AMBASSADORS.

When DR.. David Jayne Hill was appointed
ambassador to Berlin those who knew him
we'll declared that he would be unable to en-
dure the strain of the rigid etiquette of the
German court Some Americans seem to be
fond Of all the petty regulations in regard to
dress and precedence which one must observe
at most European courts, but Hill is not one
of those men.
Stories have come from Berlin and have
been printed i'll the newspapers showing that
the court rules have been violated often by
Dr. Hill. who appeared to regard these regu-
lations not applicable to democratic
American 1t is also true that no man of
moderate means represent this country sat
isfactorily at London Paris. Berlin, Rome, Vi
emma or St Petersburg The muti-millionare
ambassador has spoiled all these places for
the man who wishes to live on his official sal,
airy. This salary will not pay the rent of
the house he is expected to rent, while to
entertain his predecessors have entertained
will require two or three times his modest sal
AIRY. The first thing that this government
should do is to buy residences for ambassadors
in these large foreign capital, and to furnish
them rent free to representatives Then
there would be some show that man of mod
crate fortune and fine abilities could afford to
accept an ambassadorship.

GALL UNLIMITED.

1t was to be expected that the Southern
Pacific railroad would seize the opportunity
afforded by the mobilization Of the army to
victimize the government but not even its bit
terest enemy could have imagined it would
do the shameful things it has done
The Southern Pacific has. bridge that
spans the gorge of the Pecos river at great
height. 1t is costly structure and its loss
would cripple the Sunset route for long
time. The Mexican boundary is but few
miles away, and fearing that the bridge might
be destroyed by the insurrectos the Southern
Pacific was exceedingly DESTROYS that its prop
crty should be protected by the federal sol
diers.
General Duncan, commanding the depart
ment of Texas sent part of the Twentyahrl
regiment to guard the bridge. He acted ON
his votion while the Southern Pa
cific making its plea to General Carter
How the Faroad reciprocated this action
is best told by this extract from dispatch
printed in the New York Sun:
I'll CHOW, so it was learned today from
Langtry, Texas the nearest town on
the railroad to the big bride, the rail
road has put in u bill against the army
for water that the men and dozen odd
animals comprising the bridge guard
have been drawing from the railroad
tank near the bridge Water is scarce
down in the Pecos river country and
the railroad has made it practice to
sell water to Stockmen taking herds
over the lines.
Though the railroad has charged
for the water that the border patrol
detachments of the Third and Fourth
cavalry and Twenty third infantry gave
been using at their camps in Marathon,
Alpine. Maria and at other places
along the line, the army men believe
that the charge in these cases was legi-
innate since the soldiers quartered
there were not guarding railroad prop
erty primarily.
But they are not in sympathy with
the railroad action in charging the
army for the water used by soldiers
whose sole reason for being at Pecos
brige is protecting Southern Pacific
property.
And yet, why should surprise be expressed
The Southern Pacific has ever shown nlim
tied gall in its transaction with the different
states through which it operates. 1t has
maintained strong political bureau; it has
controlled governors and legislature for it's owl
financial gains. Hence why not work on thu
government when the opportunity is afforded
