THE BATTLE OVER.
At last the contest nt Albany ovc
the vacant Bonatori.il scats is ovct
Elbridgo U. Lnphani , the rcpublicni
caucus nominee , has been olectci
as the successor of Hoscoo Conkling
Those who appeal to the swon
perish by the sword , Mr. Conkliii ]
issued an imperious appeal to th
legislature of the state of Now York
commanding them to rcbuka 1'rcsi
dent Garfield for daring to cxercis
his constitutional prerogative as chic
magistrate of the nation , and Mr
Conkling himself now stands rebuked
While the country has rcasoi
to regret the loss of i
man of Mr. Conkling's match
less talents , invaluable experience
and unswerving integrity from tin
councils ot the nation , the lessen
taught by his downfall will create t
profound impression not only upoi
public men of our own time but upoi
generations of American statcsmoi
yet unborn. Like the defeat of the
unit rule at Chicago which was the
death knell of the third term move
ment , tlio dofc.it of Mr. Conkling carries
rios with itotio of the most dangerous
dogmas in our system of government
As the defender o f the spoils sys
tem nnd champion of the pernicious
doctrine that would dc'/rado the presi
dent to a more lackey of the senate ,
Mr. Conkling had become the em
bodiment of n demoralizing and
dangerous dogma. His resignation
wns not merely a picco or reckless
bravado , but an appeal to the most
populous state in the Union to sustain
the spoils system and senatorial
dictatorship.
In refusing to sustain Mr. Conk
ling the Now York legislature has sot
n seal of condemnation , not so much
upon Mr. Colliding individually , as
upon the pernicious principles
which ho lias so persistently Bought to
engraft upon our system of govern
ment. Mr. Conkling has himself
alone to blame for this humiliating
rebuke. Ho wns the honored ropro-
Hcntotivo of the great state of Now
York on the floor of the senate , and
ho deserted his post of duty in a most
critical time , because the president
had disregarded his personal prefer
ence in an appointment in which
not only the city and Btato
of Now York , but the whole
country , had n vital into'rcst.
Ilaring resigned his seat on the pretext -
text that ho could not hold it with
Bolf-rospoct if the President persisted
in ignoring his wishes in filling the
Now York Colloctorship , the legisla
ture took him at his word by electing
as his successor a man who has no dis
position to arrogate to himself powers
which the constitution and laws of the
country have vested in the President.
OUR FOREIGN CONSULS.
Civil service roionn is greatly
needed in our system of appointment
to foreign consulates. When com
pared with other nations the diplo
matic corps of the United States lacks
dignity , character nnd ability. An'
observant correspondent , who had
rare opportunities for judging , re
cently declared that taken n.s a whole
the body of , American consuls abroad
jomparod unfavorably with these of
the smallest European nationality.
I'lns statement docs not apply to
the incumbents of our first-class
foreign missions. James Russol Lowell
who is minister to the Court of St.
lames , Minister White , at Berlin ,
md Levi P. Morton , who holds the
French mission , nro all gentlemen of
ibility , culture and refinement , and
10 doubt able and respected roproson-
ativos of our government.
It is when the smaller consulates
ire examined that our diplomatic
lorvico is soon in its most unfavorable
ight. The greater portion of our
lonsuls possess neither the experience
> r training for the duties of their
> osltion. Many of them havo'novor
> eon in the public service
n any capacity whatever. Tlio fact
hat their appointment is only for a
imitod term of years and that the ox-
rirntion of that period will probably
vitnoss a successor installed in their
K > sition forbids any incentive towards
acquiring that experience which would
irovo most valuable to the state do-
mrtmont and the government which
hey represent , Tlio absence of any
lystom ot diplomatic promotion re-
novos another incentive to the accopt-
inco of the consulate by first-class mini.
3ur consulates have , in short , bo-
: omo the more rewards of party
Idolily to bo filed more according to
.ho political necessities of the sena
tors than with n duo regard to the
best interests of the government.
In marked contrast to the plan
pursued by our government , is tlio
method of diplomatic training and
Jducation which prevails in the older
xwntrics of Europe. There the
foreign oillce , corresponding to our
itato department , furnishes from its
employes the incumbents of the con-
mlates in other countries. Trained
from young men to a knowl-
jdgo of diplomacy , and ex
perienced in watching and reporting
Jl movements in other countries
ffliich may bear upon the interests of
: heir own , they bocaino valuable and
iitegral parts of the government
vliose services cannot be replaced by
non leas experienced and without
.raining. There is , moreover , a regu-
ar gradation of promotion. Merit is
rewarded with advancement and th
consul of twenty years ago if foun
competent fills a high position of true
as minister or ambassador.
While it is undoubtedly true tha
the ocean steamer , the railwa
and more than all the telegraph an
cable has revolutionized diplomacy-b
bringing tlio subordinates into quic
communication with the centre e
government , it is unlikely that any tin
tion could dispense with its rcprcscn
tativo in foreign lands , There wi
always remain outside of any polit'C.i
complications RUfllcient cornmoria
interests to call for a larg
number of consulates and an abl
corps of incumbents , This being
ing so it is highly importan
that unfavorable comparisons shoulc
continue to be drawn between the
consuls of the United States am
these of other nations. If the noini
nations for our representatives abroai
lay with the department of state nm
a , sure system of promotion wa
brought into nctivo operation , nnd BO
juro tenure of ollico guaranteed to th
incumbents of our diplomatic ofllccs
jur country would have less cause t <
lomplain of her foreign consuls.

Tlio Canadian debt is increasing

It is reported on good authorit ;
iroin Vienna that negotiations are ii
progress tending to the formation o
in alliance between Germany , Austria
Hungary and Franco. Russia sine
the death of Alexander II. has ceasoi
to bo the close ally of Germany. S <
long as Alexander II. was alive Russi
was the main European power , wit !
which the German empire ondeavorei
to keep on terms of close friendshi

Into Czar with Emperor William am
the mutual regard which had growi
up between them , served to comen
this alliance while Bismarck's own in
