Tlioro Is n tomlency manifest In soin
quarters to abolish the diplomatic servlc
of the United Stntei. Tliosolio tnko thl

number to loatl our congressmen to ( eel tlin
they Can dock the appropriations ( or on
diplomatic service nnd othcrulso Impair It
oniclencyltliout sufTcrliiR blame from thcl
constituencies. It Is possible that nt som
future period the dovolopltiK in cans for com
munlcntltiK with nil parts of the world nn
the sprciul of moro harmonious relation
antonR nations may lend to the abolltlo
of a dlplomntlo service. lint until that tlm
comes the United States cannot afford t
dlspeiiRo v.ltli a foreign service. On th
contrary she needs one oven moro tlinn man )
In proportion as her Influence extends. An
other Important point to consider Is th
fact that the number of foreigners rcsldon
In the United States Is constantly gaining
while the naturalisation of foreigners fron
e\ery race on the globe necessarily leads t
Increasing complications.
The fact Is patent that oven In prlvnt
transactions matters are constantly nrlsln ;
uhlch can only bo satisfactorily arranged l > :
the direct Inlluenco of personal tact am
magnetism. No correspondence by letter , n
telegraph or telephone can nuill when matters
tors liavo reached that point. Now the re
latlons between nations are jet moro dell
catc. Destructive wars , incalculable calami
ties may turn on the merest point of honor
Publicity must In all cases bo molded as fa
as possible when an attempt Is being mad
to adjust a dlfllculty , often It Is only undo
that condition that concessions can bo ob
talnod. Unless wo propose to put up a CM
nose wall around our country and close nl
relations with foreigners we must contlnm
to conform to the great system of settllni
International questions which has been developed
voloped by the growth of civilisation am
the Increasing intercourse of thn nations
No civilized Government can abandon tin
system until a universal congress of nation :
decides to abolish It.
nCClSNTUICITV NOT ALLOWABLE.
It follows that a great nation lllto our :
must conform In many of the details of i
foreign servlco with that accepted nmoni
other people. Whatever wo may cheese tide
do In the conduct of our homo affairs , VM
only belittle our Inlluenco abroad by an ;
attempt nt singularity or eccentricity who !
pitting ourselves against the trained dlplo
matlc experts of Europe nnd Asia. To d <
that Is to defeat the very end tor whlcl
such a servlco Is founded. Therefore , If i
powerful nation llko ours does malntali
a diplomatic servlco It should bo In oven
respect worthy of our position , second ti
none In efficiency , with a pcrsonalo that li
above criticism , able to cope with the dallj
social demands of the service as well a :
with , extraordinary emergencies , nnd li
every respect fitted to sustain the dignity o
our flag.
PATHIOTISMVNn FIRMNESS NEEDED
The first essential to a vlrilo diplomatic
service Is n zealous patriotism and flrmnes !
In the executive nt the white house. Tin
Bamo qualities are equally Important In thi
head of the department of state , to whlcl
should bo added some personal cxperlenco It
diplomacy and high moral courage. To linvi
served as n prominent member of congresi
or In nny other political capacity OP to lmv <
a profound knowledge of law does not neces
sarlly fit one to be secretary or state. Thai
ofllclal should have some personal knowl
edge of foreign nations , nnd realize how fai
ho can venture In protecting our Interests
A lack of such knowledge has caused inucli
of the timidity dlsplaied for so many yenis ,
with n few rare exceptions , In our dealings
with the great powers of Europe ; wo some
times show- pluck enough when dealing with
Inferior nations. It Is not fully apprehended
at Washington that , aside from the Impossi
bility of nny foreign nation being able to
land nny force on our shores that could cope
with the enormous armies wo can put Into
the field , they are so situated towards each
other that not one of them could dare for a
moment to enter Into war with the United
States , oven If with her fleets she could
damage our ports. Such a war would demand
every effort and resource on the part of the
nation making It , nnd would lay her open tea
a fatal attack In the rear from enemlcn who
are only waiting for her to sign her death
warrant by such a prodigious blunder. No ,
wo have nothing to fear from nny foreign
power. It Is suniclent for our government to
be firm In order to secure every reasonable
demand. Dut few of our secretaries of state
realize this fact. Hence one source of the
frequent weakness of our diplomacy , for we
can hardly expect our diplomatic agents
abroad to exhibit a spirit that would bo dis
avowed nt home.
A SOURCE OP WEAKNESS.
Another source of weakness. In our state
department arises from the large number of
naturalized citizens now In our republic. A
secretary of state who aspires to become
president or who dreads the attacks of the
press and the censure of constituencies
naturally hesitates to provoke difficulties with
a nation from which wo have recruited many
of our citizens , for their still lingering love
of fatherland may temper their judgment of
the acts of the state department. It Is In
such cases that moral courage to execute
duty without flinching Is required , but Is
sometimes lacking at Washington.
It Is not In the lack of native ability
that our diplomats are wanting , but
In the requisite fitness and experience
for that particular service. American
adaptability often enables them In a
measure to overcome- this defect , as
servlco In war eventually enables a volun
teer to become an cfllclont veteran. Still ho
must suffer many reverses In hla encountera
lth them , This Is about the condition of
many of the diplomats wo send abroad.
If they are sometimes laughed at , bringing
Jorlslon on our country and Inefllclently
accomplishing the purposes of their appoint
ment , wo only have ourselves to blamo. A
man who can make a good stump speech
ir manipulate a caucus or win his millions
in the stock exchange Is not thereby es-
loclnlly fitted for encounters with the finesse
> r bluff of foreign diplomacy end -exhibit
i knowledge of etiquette , courts , policies
> r foreign tongues which are essential to
nako him a persona grata without which
10 might as well stay at homo. Further-
nero , the battles of diplomacy are won not
inly by general ability or by a knowledge
if law. International or otherwise , but quite
13 well by being socially pllablo and agreo-
iblo. To this end every one In diplomacy
ihould have respectable speaking knowl
edge of the French language ; the bettor ho
cnowa It the greater his Inlluenco , ceterls
larlbus. There IB hardly a court and no
liplomatlc corps where Trench can be ills-
lonscd with. If to this be added a knowl-
idgo of the language of the country to which
he diplomat Is appointed BO much the bet-
er. Dut French he should have In any case.
Vhlle English Is destined to become the
anguage of diplomacy , It has not yet reached
hat point. The rules and principles laid
lown In the Instructions given to our dlplo-
nats , thediscipline and practice of routine
luty followed in the department at Wash-
ngton , and the general character of our
llplomatlc service In such matters , offer
Ittle ground ( or dissatisfaction. A century
if national existence has enabled us to
ivolvo a system which Is on the whole satis-
actory. More life and vigor might , perhaps ,
10 Infused Into the Washington end of our
llplomatlo service If olficlaU who have boon
hero ( or a considerable term of yearn were
raniferrod to the ( orelgn servlco some-
Imea and vrero replaced by these who have
ilready been ( or a time.
TWO GREAT DEFECTS.
nut the two great detects of our dlplo-
nillc service arise from the meagornesa of
the nalarlea and other appointments al
lowed and the all but Invariable rule of
to foreign appointments men en
tirely destitute of cxporlcnco In that n
pcrlnl line of effort It follows from till
first that wo must cither mnko Iho Be

izcj moneyed aristocracy , which la

VAlunblo that all will Seek them , but of sim
ple , solid common sense. Whatever thi
salary the number of applicants for ofllc *
will continue the name , while the Interest !
for which dlplomntlo service la established
materially suffer from our present absurd
economy. In passing , we may ndd thai

REMOVAL OP DIPLOMATIC OKriCKn3j
Dut the capltnl weakness of our dlplo < >
mntlo Bjslcm Is the constant removal otf
dlplomntlo nfllclals with every change of
party or administration , nnd replacing them
by men without the slightest dlnlomattu
oxporluicu. A itinn Vvlin represents thu
whole country nnd protects Us general In
terests and welfnro Is or should bo ns In
dependent of party or the wlilm of the head
nt Washington ns nn olllcsr In the regular
nrmy or navy Ills removal should bi
solely for cause , the only changes being In
his rotation or promotion from ono diplo
matic post to another na In the case of olll-
ccrs In the army
A NON-I'ARTISAN DIPLOMATIC SERVICO
NEEDED.
What wo need Is a trained noii-p.irtlsiii
diplomatic service , such ns obtains with
every great nation except our own. Men
of proved education , Intelligence , tact ami
pollihcd manncm should bo selected In early
manhood for subordinate positions In the
service. They should aoqulro the langmgeu
and understand that patriotism , merit nnd
application will Insure their continuance In
this highprofession. As vacancies occur
they may bo rotated or promoted , ns In the
nrmy. Not , however , by examlmtlon , ns In
the civil servlco. Whatever may ho the
merits of examination In that service , ami
wo frankly do not see nil the ndvnntngci
claimed for It , It should not bo required In
diplomacy. Any oincl.il who has demon
strated his fitness for ono position by long
pr.ictlco can then bo elevated to another ,
nccordlng to the order of his former np-
polntmuit , such proved fitness being a guar-
nntco of the Illness for the next grade o ?
promotion.
The fact that some of our foreign dlplo. .
mats hnve occasionally shown exceptional
fitness for appointments for which they hnu
no previous experience , does not cotnponsato
for the contrary fact that far too many of
our diplomats have under such circumstances
exhibited manifest unfltnesa for such re
sponsible posts. It will also bo found that
some of our most successful diplomats have
been exactly these men who have been ro-
nppolnted , nnd thus profited by oxperlenco
won at their former post.
