that we all have nOtiop something
like that
A QUEER CONSUL.
The American consul at Hamilton,
Maxwell Green, is an unusual sort of
chap. For his headquarters, he has
two rooms on the water front-one
large, bare, quasi-public room, and the
other a private apartment which he
uses Cor his sanctum. 1t is MaxwelPs
deeply-seated belief that this inner room
is as sacred as is the presidents apart
ments in the White House, inasmuch
as he thinks he is the personal repre-
sentative of the country's chief magis-
trare. Notwithstanding the commonly &C
copied notion that a consul is merely
commercial agent.
The stranger visiting Green's office
obtains his first knowledge of Green's
views when he is commanded to remove
his hat and to please keep it removed
as long as he remains in Green's pres
ence and in the office. Some Americans
who have decided views about the de-
mocracy of their nation and believe that
public officials are the servants of the
common people, sort of flare up when
Green makes his request to uncover,
but they allow his request when he ex-
plains the theory upon which be pro-
ceeds.

AS TO MR.. BEACHAM.

The fight is over, and while we
regret that Mr.. BraXtOn Beacham
was not elected to Congress, there Is
qualification in the attitude OF this
county toward him. lie pOlled some
fifty-one more votes in Orange coun'
Nv than the five of his competitors
put together.
Mr.. Beacham belongs to that class
OF conservative men that finds it not
within his power to cry aloud his
virtues. One Orlando man explained
his defeat yesterday, by saying, He
refused to kiss the babies" And there
is a great deal of true philosophy in
the simple. humorous statement.
The American people persist in ad-
miring bluff and buster. A man mus:
rant and rail. if he would catch the
ear of the crowd. This attitude is
not altogether to be condemned;
there is something fresh and stimu-
lating about it; it makes for inter-
est in life in sense. But as long
as it persists. the best public men
will not be elected to office.
From the standpoint Of depth OF
character and real ability there can
be no possible comparison between
MIR. Beacham and Mr.. 'Engle. The
people chose the latter. Like seeks

are not grown to the stature TO get
