OR pIpL0MATIc SERYIcE.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The intimation that Mr.. William
f. McCombs and DR. Charles w
Eliot both declined the high positions
offered them in the diplomatic SER
vice because Of their inability to
meet the expense and make the finan-
cial sacrifice involved in acceptance
once more brings up a question that
has been a frequent subject OF dis
cussion In the past. Here were two
men whom the President thought
specially fitted for the posts which
he offered them, but both Of them
fell obliged to decline the honor be
cause they cannot afford it. There
may have been additional reasons in
DR. Eliots case. though the none
tary consideration is reported to have
been influential but Mr. McComb
is said TO have told the President
that his private income added to his
salary as Ambassador to France
would be insufficient to maintain the
sort Of establishment that has come
TO be expected Of the American rep
resentative in Paris. Moreover, his
long residence abroad would inter
rupt a law practice which he might
not easily be able to build up again
when he returned. In commenting
on Mr. McCombs declination the
President laments that tho country

REAssURING TmID CAPITAL.

most encouraging signs among the
ordinary fundamentals Of good bust
ness, industry is hating and absolute

sion wait on the return Of confidence
Capital can't be threatened or scared

and leisure, and the diplomatic SER
vice is unnecessarily hampered.'
Mr. Henry Whites views on this
subject are especially entitled
TO consideration not only by reason
of his extended diplomatic expert
ence. but because Of the unusual
ability and brilliant talent which he
brought to his work. He believes that
"it is monstrous that no one, unlesF
he be possessed Of a large income,
or willing to spend his capital. can
now accept one of the important en-
bassies," and maintains that we mot
only pay a salary which is vitality
Inadequate in any Of the important
capitals but, owing to the lack OF
any house in which the Ambassador
can live, even this meagre salary Is
uncertain. as the recipient cannot
tell what amount will have to be de-
Quoted therefrom for rent And he
further points out that lin these
days the difficulty of obtaining for
rental houses in Paris Berlin, Rome
and. l believe, in st. Petersburg. Isl
almost impossible. and the rentals
asked are enormous"
The simple fact OF the matter is
that the salaries of our Ambassadors
have been inadequate. They couldn't
pay rent and live decently in the
foreign capitals on what our Govern
ment paid them. Out of this inader
quacy has grown the practice of
sending rich men to the courts OF
Europe They in turn have lived lin.

has suffered in reputation from such
extravaganza. What we need is to

I houses for all of our diplomatic rep
resentatives-houses that could be

would be a restraint on those who
had private means. Such houses
would give character and uniformity
to our representation in foreign
countries.
