It is said.that Lord Pauncefote, the British embassador and deaa of the diplomatic corps, has formally expostu lated "with air. Secretary of State Hay is to the Indignity placed upon . him .-and his high and mighty confreres and that an entire hour was consumed in consideration of the expostulation. While it is not given to: ordinary mor tals to know what was said by those two imperialists it may be naturally assumed that Ck)lonel Hay rubbed much . alve upon the burning wounds of the wrathful Englishman. It is to be'sin rerely hoped that this awkward lad dcnt will not precipitate a"war between ts and all the nations of Europe com lined. It is a humiliating Idea to think ni our Uncle Sam falling on bis knees More the Europeans and exclaiming, reccavi, peccavil" But since we have iecome imperialists and aspire to stand veil with other imperialists it .may be necessary for our uncle to perform that un-American caper. - " It will be remembered by thosa who ta'e any interest in the history of our ariy clays that when Thomas Jeffer, on was president he, for some reason known to himself alone, took Mrs. Dolly Madison, wife of his secretary of .ttate, cut to dinner Instead of leading vui mis. iu.cii.jr. nue vx. mc uuubu embassador, which " precipitated diplo matic complications : of , a most laugh able sort, ending in Secretary of State Madison requesting that Mr. Merry be tecalled, which was done. Jefferson's conduct on that occasion gave the cue to all the American imperialists to fibese ldm and calumniate him and to told him up as an awful example of tad manners; but then it must be re membered that Thomas Jefferson.' was n untutored Democrat, who hated royalty and all its works even as the devil hates holy water. He was not an imperialist, as are Colonel , Hay, : Sen ator Foraker and General Grosvenor. Jefferson, therefore, may .. be excused for violating imperial etiquettes on grounds of ignorance.' Even' Foraker nd Grosvenor may plead Ignorance on this occasion, but the foreign . imperial ists will hardly forgive them for a sec ond offense of this nature. 1 , - ' Morgan and Hanna. , . - There is a contest on In the senate which Is of more than passing Interest to philosophers and psychologists. - It is between that illustrious Democrat, Sonater John T. Morgan of Alabama a freat lawyer, and that conspicuous Re publican, Senator Marcus A. ' Hanna, ho is not a lawyer, but who, ranks ery high as a business mam The bone of contention is the route of the isth &?an canal. Morgan champions Nica-. faua and Hanna champions Panamas vi course ethers will take a hand In the riiindy, but it is universally con, eded thjlt Morgan and Hanna are the. leaders In the fight. It is shrewd, hard teed business capacity "against V-amiri!', forensic ability and profes sional training. The contest will atr tract breathless interest Morgan per hepa knows more than any other living 'Qan, but Mark is a fighter f ron- away ack. , ' -et Them SquabM. democrats may well take heart from quarrels. of the Republicans. On he surface things are placid as a duck lnd, but beneath the surface there fe storms and v disturbances of all rts.

But e would" not don knee breeches and long stockings even at ,the: suggestion of Joe Choate. - Great is Hogg! - May his tribe increase? , r r Nothing so refreshing has harroened since that otherrerninent American re fused to remove his hat from his nog gin in the presence of Albert Edward, prince of "Wales, saying, 'I ain as dis tinguished in my ? profession as the Princo of Wales is in his, which, be ing said before his historic meeting with Pompadour Jim Cprbett at New Orleans, was. absolutely. true.' , AVhen a great foreign actress first gazed upon Daniel Webster, she turned to her male escort in an ecstasy of de light and exclaimed, Thank heaven, I can now truly say that I haveeeen a man!" What her escort thought of that this deponent saith not Had she lived to feast her eyes upon the towering form of James S. Hogg she could have truly Bald, 'I have seen another man.' Barring Unpleasant Remarks. The high handed- methods of the Re publican majority In the house is fully illustrated by the following statement: More than a week's debate was allow ed on the oleomargarine bill when ev erything both for and against it could have been fully stated. In " two days. On the Philippine tariff bill,- a measure of farreaching consequence, only two "days' debate was originally permitted. When it came back from the, senate loaded down with amendments and Mr Richardson, the, Democratic lead er, asked for one hour in which' the minority might briefly express its opin ion,; it was denied him, and the Hon Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the com mittee on ways and means and ex of ficio floor leader of -the Republicans, with a. smile that, was- childlike and bland,; offered him thirty v minutes, whieh Richardson contemptuously andJ scornfully refused." Then the minority In revenge forced the house to squan der twice as much time In roll calls as Richardson had demanded for debate, and it did" right Now. it may be asked, :Why did the majority permit a week's debate on the oleomargarine bill . and only two days on the Philip pine bill?- Because it' did hot care what was said on' the former "and dreaded what might be said on the lat ter. , Its plan is to amuse the house with talk on nonlmportant matters and to railroad all Important measures. ' Dinsmore of Arkansas. . One of the ablest among the young southern Democrats in the house is Hugh A, Dinsmore of Arkansas, (the ranking Democrat bn the great commit tee of foreign affairs. - Dinsmore was lucky when he came to congress nine years ago in being assigned to a com mittee whose duties are congenial to his tastes and in the line of his expert encer . Heiad been minister to Korea and had borne himself so well in tha station that the people of his district sent him to congress , and have 'kep him there ever since. " Able, faithful suave; rtactiul, eloquent, in the very Cower of his years, he is a tower o strength to our side of the house and is invariably , in favor of t all just and reasonable measures. ' Not long 6ince, In a rather warm debate on the 'diplo matic and consularappropriation bill, he gave the following fine illustration of the average American's adaptability to any situation: - "Some years ago a gentleman of West Virginia was selected to be consul at Nagasaki, Japan. 'He was a parvenu, so to speak, In consular- matters. : He had ; never been- abroad; perhaps; vhe had never been out of the confines of the: state of West : Virginia; , unless it may have been to come to' this capital or to go to New York. On arriving at Nagasaki he found it inconvenient to secure proper - quarters for his vcon- Isulate. A7 ';. - . - -- .- - He could not get a" house in which to ? establish: his office, but he found an American merchant doing business in ; Nagasaki, who said to him, You can have these rooms above my store. So Mr. Birch, the gentlemanof whom I am speaking took the rooms above that store and hoisted his flag.' He was Immediately tabooed, by the whole con sular fraternity there and by the com munity. '-sWhy?N Pcause.the English idea, of affairs obtained out there, and shopkeepers were - not considered en tirely respectable people. . vMr. Birch had set up his consulate in a shopkeep er 'establishment. ;wOn making application at that time to becomo'a member of the Nagasaki club Mr. Birch,, was blackballed.,- He was not admitted to the club. But I take -pleasure in saying that f before John M. Birch- had been in that;port two years he was,, recognized, as the best consul there and was president kt the same club which had bef or & black balled him for putting: his flag over: a shop." - ; When we control thb house' again, as we probably will do in the next con gress, Difcsmore - will be chairman -of the -committee on' foreign affairs, which is always v an-important committee, sometimes the, most Important in the house, and he. will '-do honor to the posi tlon; Arkansas and the whole country can weU affords to be proud" of - such jnen as Hugh A- Dinsmore. ' : , Consul and the Merit System. In that same debate I set forth Vhat I know to be mr-wn positioned What' I believe to -e the Democratic position -as to service examina- - ST want tosay, speaking for myself and the entire Democratic nartv. that . . . 'J ... m - m we are i not . opposed to a merit sys tem. v; r repeat that with emphasis, so that no idiot can go away from here and misconstrue it that the Demo cratic party is notvopposed to a merit system ' based ' on v common sense.-. " We are not. opposed to a merit system, but we. are opposed to life tenure in oflSce. It is both undemocratic and un-Ameri-can.J I have an old fashioned Idea that when the Republicans carry the elec tion in this country they have a right to the offices and when the Democrats carry it they have a right to them, and certainly Democrats do not carry it of ten enough to form the chronic habit of ofilceholding. , . ... I undertake to say, without the fear of successful contradiction, that it is a libel on American intelligence and on the public 'Bchjoor system of this coun try, which we so proudly vaunt and which costs so much, to say that out of ; the C.000.000 men who voted for William J. Bryan in 4900 you cannot find 209,000 fit to hold these appointive offices under the president of the Unit ed States, and it is a greater libel, sim ply because there were more of them and not because they wcre'more intelli gent, to say that out of the 7,000,000 Republicans who voted for William McKinley you cannot find 200,000 fit to hold these offices MI say this, that when the Democrats are in power, if you would have a rule that the appointees , should be Demo crats, and then that they should be thoroughly examined, that would be all right, and the same way when the Republicans are in power, but here is the objection in this consular business to the civil service reform examination as now conducted. ? "They do not ascertain a man's fit ness to be a consul, because the exam inations are not about things which a consul ought to know irs order to ren der the best service. "I stated on the floor of this house once, and l repeat it now, tnat, in my Judgment, notwithstanding there are over 200 college graduates in this house and a proportional number in the sen ate, there are not thirty men in both houses who could stand an examina tion for a $900 clerkship over here in one cf the departments. Why is. that true? I will tell t you. : It Is true be- .you. cause the men who are fit to sit in the congress of the United States have for gotten the things that they are examined.- on fa these examinations ; over there. That is the truth about it. '. "Men are fit to serve in house and senat¬ because they have forgotten certain things, but because they have learned i more: important things." The latter things crowd the former out of their, minds. To undertake to examine men for consular positions in one of the civil service examinations as now conducted will end in this that you will get a lot of men just ont of school who - know ' nothing about business, while business knowledge is the most necessary Qualification for consul, as Napo- it is a purely - business ofiice. leon picked his marshals by the shape of their noses.' I undertake to say that there is- not a- man on this floor who cannot co into his. own district and pick the men who are fit to be consuls anywhere by their business capacity, because he knows them and under stands wha they are good for. Natu ral pride would compel him to select the most, competent." Senatorial Fight In Illinois. s The chances are first rate for the Democrats to select a senator ,of the United States from Illinois to succeed vvniiami. juason, .a consummation devoutly to be wished. Mason, Hop- William E. Mason, r a consummation kins, "Uncle Shelby", M. Cullom, young lican bigwigs are carrying on a Kil kenny cat fight which ought to redound to the good of the Democrats. .
