THE OFFICIAL. JOLLIER.

From Dublin, N. H., the summer headquarters of
the British embassy in this country comes report that
Mr.. Dudley Field Malone Third Assistant Secretary
of State and Official diplomatic entertainer and jollier
of the Administration, spent the weekend as guest
of the British ambassador.
Mr.. Malone has just recently closed a very sue
cessful engagement as courier to Dr. Lauro Muller,
Of Brazil, in the processes of which we hope he Con-
WINGED that eminent diplomat that he ought to get his
government to be nicer to US in the matter of coffee
prices. Now it is intimated the official joIer has
gone up to Dubn-a Malone to Dublin; what could
be more appropriate-to try his arts of persuasion
on the British envoy, by way of convincing him that
its great mistake for the United Kingdom to boy
cott the San Francisco fair.
II the Coffee trust can be tanned by the pleasant
process of turning the other cheek the Malone cheek
is precisely the right Likewise if the hard heart
of the British Board of Trade can be melted out of
Its stoniness toward the canal show, the sunshine of
the Malone countenance is precisely the correct ele
ment TO produce that desirable result All honor and
success to the diplomatic joer; more power to the
elbow that rests lightly on the polished mahogany
and crooks occasionally in amiable response to the
magical suggestion of Another of that same please

"A SENATOR" AND "THE SENATE"

nice little constitutional question is raised by Sen
ator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi who knows
good deal about the Constitution. Secretary of War
Garrison has resented the ntercesson of Senators in
behalf of the promotion of army officers, and some
letters from his Office have informed Senators that
their communications were not received with ap-
proyal. The Secretary even intimated that such
intercessions might work to the disadvantage of the
officer concerned.
Appointments and promotions of army officers
have to be confirmed by the Senate. Wherefore
Senator Williams retorted to the Secretary that the
right of any Senator to advise concerning any officer
whose appointment depends on confirmation by the
Senate is constitutional and be thrust aside
BY any executive order"
The Constitution, however, uses the phrase, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate. "
Isn't theresa difference between the Senate" and an
individual Senator? The Senate by IrSolution doubt
less could advise" the executive authority, though
il hasn't been in the habit of doing it that way. The
Senate, in its organized capacity votes approval or
disapproval of executive nominations.
But surely there is sharp difference between
the constitutional rights of single Senator in this
esard, and. those of the Senate. 1t would be inter-
esting to know just how wide that difference is.

Department, as by the rest of the community, as a
forlorn hope; means of occupying difficult interval
of time while waiting for eventualities. Huerta and
the Carranzstas have made plain that they will have
mediation. The extreme measures that have been
adopted by certain American advocates of interven-
ton have worked exactly the opposite effect to that
desired misrepresentation and unfarness have been
INDUCED to extent that My have strei gthened
the determination of President Wilson that he will
not yield in the face of such unfair attacks
Every day makes it more apparent that the one
reasonable way to settle the trouble in Mexico is to
let the opposing sides have arms and fight it out, As
matters stand, the Huertistas may get from the
United States; the Carranzstas may not. The enjoy
ment of that exclusive privilege amounts to meas
of recognition of Huerta that bellies the general
attitude of this Government. If Huerta is no more
government than his opponents, then he is entitled
TO no superior privileges In effect we are refusing
that measure of recognition which would make the
of this Government carry weight with
the Huerta regime, and yet are extending all the
recognition that Huerta needs to maintain him in
position of military advantage.

sully & Kleinteich. OF New York
A book for the foreigner written in
English. Italian. Yiddish, German, and

would become a citizen Of the United

of tie Constitution and Declaration OF
Independence. together with various
words OF advice and miscellaneous in
formation by the author.
No matter for what specific priyats
utility such book may have been
written whether merely for the money
to- be gained through the sale or for
some other reason, the author Is. willy
niliy. a practical philanthropist, and
avoWedly one of those people who IN
stead Of bewailing calamity set about
to make the best Of things as they are.
While others are prognosticating and
arguing as to what win happen ten
or twenty years from now II the pres
ent immigration conditions continue.
men like the author OF this book are
doing all that they can TO mediate pres

JOHN LIND.

John Lind, of Minnesota, has been practicing law
with distinguished success for a number of years.
Before that he was one of the remarkable men in
national politics. and his return to that realm cannot
but have peculiar significance at this time.
Lind was originally Republican, and came to
Congress as SUCH He went Democratic in 1896, and
got elected then he his parys successful candl-
cate for governor winning by sheer force of personal
strength in the States confidence. In his day he was
b Minnesota Democracy what John Johnson after
ward became: Democrat who couldn't De beaten in
an overwhelmingly Republican State
Ii is not wild conjecture that if Mr.. Lind should
be successful in his present difficult mission in Mex
leo, he would be backed by the National hdmnistra
ton for the United States Senate in Minnesota. With
the Republicans and Progressves closely dividing the
old Republican strength in that State, and with such
q man as Lind running as Democrat, the chance of
picking up an additional Democratic Senator in an
unexpected locality would be excellent. The politics
of the Lind mission is not its least interesting aspect

HANDY ANDY CAP-A-PIE.

We were not surprised when Andrew Carnegie
was created a justice Of the peace for his native
county in Scotland where he spends large part of
every year. AS a man of peace the donor of the
palace The Hague, where the nations of the world
ought to settle good many of their differences even
if they DON'T is strictly o. K When he was in
business and used to have a runn now and then
with competitor he noted for turning the other
cheek-of the competitor-and giving it good, hard
swat, which produced profound peace, at least until
the swatee returned to consciousness.
But we scarcely credit the report that the
Laird of Skibo will probably be created lord euten-
ant of the county. While the lord lieutenant has
certain civil and social functions, the title is asso-
ciated historically with command of the militia aud
hence, for Andrew-never! 1t is not easy to be-
leve that he will be seen at the head of BODY of
hay-foot strawfoot troops, decked out in military
gauds, and brandishing vcious-looking sword while
he calls to them that Britain expects every man to
be there with the goods. The iercest weapon we can
believe him capable of using is pair of scissors to
clip his Steel trust coupons and in that case We
rather suspect that he hires man to do the Job for
him.

THE EXPRESS RATE ORDER.

The order of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to express rates is primarily interesting be-
cause ~of sweeping reductions; but it has a really
much greater significance. 1t is the biggest accom-
plishment effected in this country, in the drec-
tion of efficient Government regulation.
There never before was real system" of ex-
press rates The express companies either would not
could not organize and state their rates that
anybody save an, expert could make a respectable
guess at charges in given case The result was that
overcharges were s. common as to have an important
effect in raising the revenues of the companies; and
the public without protection because it couldn't
know when il was overcharged
The Interstate Commission has not only ordered
rates reduced. 1t has done something much more
important II has made complete schedule of ex-
press rates for the country systematized them and
Invented a plan for their publication which is so
simple that nobody need in future be the victim of
overcharge, whether accidental or intentional.
Going back just few years to the supersttous
era when men spoke with bated breath of the tre-
mendous wisdom involved in making transportation
rates, and when it generally believed that supe"
men with more than human intellects must adjust
these dijcult and delicate relations there must be
realization that We live in vastly more ilumined
epoch. Corporaton-made express rates not log
calculated intelligently to get what the traffic would
BEAR" they were not published so that the shipper
could know whether he getting the right rate or
the wrong one; charges were frequently taken in ad
vance and then collected again on delivery. Against
that chaos which existed under the magnificent eff
cheney of American corporate management" we have
handed to today, from the great regulatory tri-
bunal, perfected scheme of adjustments, relations,
and publication of rates, which covers the entire
country.
This is the first time Federal authority has made
schedule of rates. Various State commissions have
made schedules of State rates. and the British Rail-
way and Canal Commission made schedule of rates
for the railroads of the United Kingdom, which parlia
enacted into law. But in this country the idea
of nationwide schedule of transportation rates
being made by the Government has seemed till now,
quite too vast a task to be seriously contemplated
Making Schedule of express charges is parallel
tc making like schedule for the railroads. The
plan that has been adopted of stating rates for the
express concerns could be modified to meet the case
Of the railroads. There is widespread convic-
ton that before very long the power absolutely to
make the schedules of rates for the nation will have
to be vested in the Interstate Commerce Commission
Its present authority is merely to change for linn
tied time rates fixed by the railroads; and to do this
after hearing and decision, in specific cases. This is
far cry from the service that has been rendered in
the matter of express rates.

THE MEXICO PROGRAM.

Any uncertainty that may have persisted as to
this Governpents general attitude toward Mexico,
is removed by the Administrations manner of ACCEPT
ing Henry Lane Wilson's resignation as ambassador.
He receives no word of commentator for his services
in trying time; rather, the curt observation that his
course has rendered him incapable of representing
this Governments policies. His resignation is not to
take effect for ten weeks; yet he is forbidden to re-
turn TO Mexico City. This is a peculiarly pointed
intimation that the ambassadors course has not in
spired the confidence of his superors; likewise it is
reflection of the general publics view of the am
bassadors qualifications. To make the suggestion
still pointed he continues in the service, nomi
nay and therefore is under the orders of the depart
ment that undesirable expressions of opinion dur
ing this interim will be breaches of diplomatic regula
tions
As the Administration is determined not to extend
recognition to Huerta, and as the accrediting of
new ambassador would be recognition, the Govern
ment sends unofficial envoy in the person of former
Governor Lind of Minnesota to undertake the diff
cult task of inducing the Mexican factions to accept
