August 13, 1900. •a multie Bonaire may lose a hundred thousand here aud there without feeling the loan, for the majority of hie venture« are profitable aud his balance sheet show« net gains. It 1a thus with the United States, the mightiest of the mul- timiliioaairea al the Paris Exposition. The Paris Expotiition is undoubtedly a losing aide »peculation for our country. But we are rich and will scarcely feel it. It would Lave been better for *ia to have staved at home than to have appeared at thia feaat without our beet clothes, it will not do to say we have better clothes at home. Such an excuse is not good form. Moreover we will not be believed except by our home folks, and we must submit to the popular judg ment—that half a ¿core of pigmy 1a tionalitivs, in more splendid apoarvl than ourselves are, by these signs, our commercial superiors. There are of course those in every land who know better, but this judgment was and is a.» an appeal to popular judgment, and if in the eye of the public, wno estimate a country by lit display at this exposition we fall below Belgium and Denmark, to say nothing of Austria and Germany, our appearance in this field is a failure. It is as easy to fix the blame as it is useless to do so, for by the time for the next ex|M>sition the lesson and the moral will lie forgotten. A new pr eaidvnt and a new congress will be ready to re|>eat the extravagance and the blunder. The fault is radical in our shifting changing governmental personnel. It is in a sys tem which retire« public officer« a« soon as they begin to know their business; a system which imposes littlo sense of res|>uneibility uoon those who know their tenure is transient ami who are answerable only for ths brie! day of their iucumbency. Our resources are inexhaustible because they are the soiirces and forces of nature, but another country acting a« foolishly and expend ing as lavishly as we do would be ruined. There are those who will Ull, whose business it is to tell a d if lore nt story about the appearance of the United States at this fair. A r a consequence there are some who will never know the tru h about it. There are doubtless some w ho are incapable of seeing or be lieving the truth, no matter how plain it may be. I am writing only for those who want to know the truth because it is wholesome even when disagreeable. The silliest patriotism, like the silliest family pride, is that which glosses anti conceal«, and resents the criticism—the diagnosis—irnhspensible to a cure. We have nu.de ourselves riiHculous by sending a great host ol commirsion- ers to this fair, and they in turn have made uh and themselves more ridiculous by insiRting through official channels u|>on social recognition. Maiiy of them, too many, with their sisters and their cousiiiH and their aunts, have got it, and the way they wield and flourisn and dis play it make« the groundlings grin, the judicious grieve. The fault is at home in the vicious system which treats every appropriation to a world's fair as a Jun keting function to which every American has a right to go at government expense, provided his member of congress has pull enough to put him on the roll. Would that this vicious system stopped at l'aris or were as ephemeral as the Baris Exposition. But we know it is the bane of our diplomatic and consular »ervices, and that it results in our send ing aspiring, illiterate dunces to repre sent us in hundreds ol foreign cities, where our consuls are in sharp contraflt with the elite, educated, polyglot agents of England, Germany and Ruseia. The crying ueed of our foreign trade tixJsy is not c heaper production, or more ships, but an improved cor|»s of commercial au l consular agents shaking several languages of cosmopolitan intellectual range and a« intelligently zealous for the interests of their.country as is the aver age Chicago or New York drummer for the success of his house. We have the raw material for such a corps. The pity is that it is so very raw. French, tier man and Spanish should l>e known b) those who presume to ask for consular places, and not only a smattering ol these languages but easy conversational felicity in them.

So far as this government is con cerned, the tigbling in China is over, unless it becomes absolutely necessary to fight to preserve order, and the situation will be handled by diplomacy. Before tbe allied army started to Pekin the policy of this government was officially proclaimed, and tbe world in formed that its troops were in China solely to protect foreigners and to pre serve order. That policy has been emphasized by communications to the allied governments, calling attention to the object for which American troops were sent to China having bevn acoom* pliahed and requesting that the other governments make known their inten tion towarda China, and suggesting, if they have formed none tfeM an international commission be appointed to decide upon a policy that all can follow. The president is now waiting to heat from thj other gov ernments. There are strong reasons to believe that Great Britain and Japan will he willing to join thia government in with drawing troops from China, if the Chinese government can make even a respectable showing of its ability to pre serve order and sustain itself; but there is a (ear that Russia and Germany not only will decline to withdraw their trooiw, but that they will, as the result of an understanding between them, declare war on China for the purfioee of conquering aud controlling the country, if allowed to do «o by the other powers. Thia government will take no part in a war of conquest against China nor wilt it fight to pievent such a war. It will confine its e7orts to preserve peace and the Chinese Empire to diplomacy. Believing the diplomatic crisis to he at hand, the president abandoned his trip to the G. A. R. encampment, in Chica go, in order to five his undivided atten tion to it. The tabulathig machine used by the Census Bureau, an American invention, nas attracted world wide attention. It has already been officially adopted by the governments of France and Russia, and the secretary of the statistical bureau of Italy, is now in Washington for the purpose of examining the work of this wonderful machine with a view touts adoption by hi* government for use in its next census, which will be taken in February, 1901. Judge 1'taiuel Wilcox, of Michigan, who is in Washington on his way home from a trip to Europe, talks interesting ly of the different ideas prevalent in Europe fifty years ago and now of this country. He said: “When I was a young man, almost half a century ago, I spent a year abroad, and traveled through most of the countries of Europe. The U. S. was then looked upon by the rest of the world much as a Booth American republic is now regarded. Europeans believed we were a half savage, nomadic, people of little conse- <juence in dealing with the world's affairs. Savage Indians were supposed to prowl at night through tbe street« of New York and the fac t that we held tbe negro in slavery brought us into <q>en contempt. A citizen of this coun try received much more consideration if he allowed continental Europe I to believe lie was an Englishman, The change in European sentiment with reference to America is something rnar- velous. The eyes of the world I have been opened, and the over grown and clumsy child it was inclined to sneer at fifty years ago is now looked upon as a young giant whose friendship all people are anxious to claim. An American is treated with as much, if not more, con sideration than a native of any other country, He is always supposed to I m * rich and tn s|s<nJ his money like water." r«ii-i'>n Cummieeaoner Evans, in hiw annual report, Is-ars down hard on the l«*rision «harks. He say« that an official inquiry has shown that 97 out of 9M3 |M-rsons practicing as pension attorneys are utterly onfitte<l for the work, ami that more than 23 per rent of the total are rated as not good. If that showing l>e correct, ami there is no reason to doubt it, no time «hould be lost in re vising the roll of attorneys and shutting out the bad and incompetent. Il is s duty alike to the applicant« for pen sions ami to the honest and capable attorneys.
