THE FOREIGN MINISTRY., 1
The proposal of the New York Her
ald that our foreign ministry be abol
ished and a perfected consular service
be substituted therefor, while its de
tails are not yet known, probably pos
sesses much merit. There is something
un-American and incongruous with re
publican simplicity in this high-priced
system of having ambassadors extraor
dinary and ministers plenipotentiary at
the courts of monarchies where they
perform few duties save those social in
their nature, the giving of dinners, at
tending fetes, entettaining American
society people abroad, and the like.
The system is antiquated anyway. It
originated in the days of monarchy,
when a subject could not leave one
country to visit another'without a pass
port and its accompanying red tape;
when ministers or diplomats were em
ployed by one monarch to lie to and
deceive another monarch as to his inten
tions in respect of war, and to keep a
close watch on the movements of the
other. The diplomat was a kind of dig
nified spy. Language was given him to
conceal thought ; the subtleties of inter
national law afforded him ingenious di
version in the way of demanding redress
for fancied injuries, the redress being in
the shape of coin or territory if the di
plomat's country was powerful enough
to enforce the demand, and it was also
his duty to intrigue and plot against
the peace and security of the govern
ment to whose court he was assigned if
that government was antagonistic to his
own.
The whole system was a fraud, a
sham, a deceit. That we should have
imitated it was bad enough, but the
height of the idiocy was reached some
years ago when it was seriously proposed
to invent some gorgeous uniform to be
worn by our ministers abroad to distin
guish them from the lackeys and flun
keys, and the driveling American toad
ies who might be abroad without a
uniform, such as General E. Burd
Grubb wore at the court of Spain.
There is little excuse for this system in
these days of railways, steamships and
telegraphs. The consuls do most of the
- work, anyway, for which the ministers
extraordinary, etc., receive the pay and
credit.
Any American citizen who may be
unjustly treated abroad could, and gen
erally does, apply to the nearest consul
for relief, and the consul can, and gen-
erallv does, take the case in hand and
cable the particulars to our Btate de
partment, where its merits are exam
ined and from which our protests and
ultimatums are sent. By all means
perfect the consular service, for it is of
some utility and has a place in the re
publican form of government. The
"extraordinary" ornaments had best be
abolished.
The room' In disorder.
The cat's -on the table.
The flower-stand upset, and the mischief to pay:
And Johnny is screaming
As loud as he's able,
-For nothing goes light when mamma's away.
What a scene of discomfort and con
fusion home would be if mamma .did
not return. If your wife is slowly
breaking down, from a combination oi
domestic cares and female disorders,
make it your first business to restore
her health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is without a peer as a remedy
for feeble and debilitated women, and is
the only medicine for the class of mala
dies known as "female diseases" which
13 sold, by 'druggists,- under a positive
Guarantee from the manufacturers that
"it will give satisfaction, in every case, or
the money will be refunded. It is a
positive cure for the most complicated
cases. It's an invigorating, restorative
tonic, and a soothing and strengthening
nervine, imparting tone and vigor to the
whole system. It's a legitimate medi
cine, too carefully compounded by -an
experienced physician, and adapted to
woman's delicate organization.
A Cure for Cholera.
There is no use of any one suffering
with the cholera when Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
can be procured. - It will give relief in a
few minutes and cure in a short time.
I have tried it and know. W. H. Clin
ton, Helmetta, N. J. The epidemic at
Helmetta was at first .believed to be
cholera, but subsequent investigation
proved it to be a violent form of dysen
tery, almost as dangerous as cholera.
This remedy was used there with great
success. For sale by Blakeley & Hough

The P. B. Cornwall company has at
last struck the coal vein it has been
prospecting for within the city limits of
Whatroin for nearlv a year. They sank
ten holes, and at the tenth attempt at
depth of 410 feet found a J5K-foot vein,
-of -which HJa feet is good steam and
domestic coal. This is undoubtedly the
old Bellingham bay vein, which fur
nished the coast with coal years ago,
and which 'was abandoned while being
worked under Bellingham bay because
of a flood of water. The discovery is at
the head of Walnut street in a flat coun
trv, and the vein lies nearly horizontal
Scientific men predict that coal can be
found at less than 500 feet depth in this
vicinity. Why cannot a company be
formed to try and obtain a coal supply
at or near The Dalles?.
The Fence of the Future.
There are a number of strong points ia
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind of
a fence may be briefly inumerated as
follows: It becomes a perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth ; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being a strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform heignt and tnereiore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be con
vinced that it possesses all the advant
ages claimed for it. Messrs. Johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing a living grow
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be a fence tor all time to come
should give their orders now and get
their fence started this fall.
The coming legislature has a duty to
perform in that it should devise some
progressive general system of road laws
It is doubtful if there is another state in
the anion with as deficient road laws as
we have. We hail the coming of rail
roads and are always ready to grant
them liberal subsidies. They are held
to be absolutely necessary to the up
bnilding of cities and the development
of the country ; but a system, a practi
cal all-the-vear-round system of wagon
roads ; roads that would be good winter
and summer alike, would be of ten times
more value to the people than any line
of railroad possible.
It is recalled that- Benjamin Harri
son's grandfather, William Henry Har
rison, was elected president in 1840 by
a landslide as big as the one whicade
f eated the grandson in 1892. Then there
was another ancestor who was promi-
- nently mixed up in the landslide which
severed the American colonies from
England, and another, further back in
history, in the landslide which deposed
Charles Stuart for the great commoner
Cromwell in England. The Harrison
family seems to run to avalanches. .

Too Much of a Bisk.
It is not unusual for colds contracted
in the fall to hang on au winter. in
such cases catarrh or chronic bronchitas
are almost sure to result. A fifty cent

will cure any cold. Can you afford to
risk so much for so small an amount l
This remedv is intended especially for
bad colds and croup and can always be
depended upon, ior sale by isiakeley
