His resignation was not merely a piece ot reckless bravado, but an appeal to the most populous state in the Union to sustain the spoils system and senatorial dictatorship. In refusing fo sustain Mr. Conk- ling the New York legislature has set a seal of condemnation, not so much upon Mr. Conkling individually, as upon the pernicious principles which he has so persistently sought to engraft upon our system of govern- move- New York collectorship.

He was the honored repre- sentative of the great state of New York on the floor of the senate, and he deserted his post of duty in a most critical time, because the president had disregarded his perscnal prefer- ence in an appointment in which not only the city and state of New York, but the whole country, had a vital interest. Having resigned his seat on the pre- text that he could not hold it with self-respect if the President persisted in ignoring his wishes in filling the New York Collectorship, 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 servico retorm 1s 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 and ability. An observant correspondent, who had rare opportunities for judging, re- cently declared that taken as a wholo the body of American consuls abroad compared unfavorably with those of the smallest European nationality. This statement does not apply to the incumbents of our first-class foreign missions. James Russel Lowell who is minister to the Court of St. James, Minister White, at Berlin, and Levi P. Morton, who holds the French mission, are all gentlemen of ability, culture and refinement, and no doubt able and respected represen- tatives of our government. It is when the smaller consulates are examined that our diplomatic service is seen in its most unfavorable light, The greater portion of our consuls possess neither the experience or training for the duties of thewr position, Many of them have never been in the public service in any capacity whatever, The fact that their appointment is only for a limited term of years and that the ex- piration of that period will probably Witness a successor installed in their position forbids any incentive towards acquiring that experience which would prove most valuable to the state de- partment and the government which they represent. The absence of any system of diplomatic promotion re- moves another incentive to the accept- ance of the consulate by first-class men, Our consulates have, in short, be- come the mere rewards of party fidelity to be filed more according to the political necessities of the sena- join Governor Foster and the other governors in a call for aday of thanks- giving, Governor Roberts neglected to pay any attention to the matter for soveral days, and at last responded in o dispatch, refusing his co-operation on the ground that he does not deem it consistent with his position as gov- ernor to issue a proclamation for re- ligious exercises, because church and state ought to be kept separate. In the abstract Governor Roberts is correct, but common usage has in- vested national and state executives with authority to fix days of thanks- giving and prayer. In this instance the movement for a national thanks- giving day is made in response to al- most uuiversal sentiment and Goy- emor Roberts’ refusal to join the other governors is generally regarded as a piece of mexcusable discourtesy. tors than with a due regard to the best interests of the government, In marked contrast to the plan pursued by our government, is the method of diplomatic training and education which prevails in the older countries of Europe. There the foreign office, corresponding to our state department, furnishes from its employes the incumbents of the con- sulates in other countries. Trained from young men to a knowl edge of = diplomacy, and ex- perienced in watching and reporting all movements in other countries which may bear upon the interests of their own, they became valuable and integral parts of the government whose services cannot be replaced by men less experienced and without training. There is, moreover, a regu- lar gradation of promotion. Merit is THE OMAHA DAI LY BEE: SATURDAY.

While it is undoubtedly true that the steamer, the railway and more than all the telegraph and cable has revolutlonized diplomacy by bringing the subordinates into quick communication with the centre of government, it is unlikely that any na- ocean tion could dispense with its represen- | tative in foreign lands. There will always remain outside of any political commersial | complications sufficient interests to call for a large| number of consulates and an able corps of incumbents, This be- ing so it is highly that unfavorable comparisons should to be drawn between the the United States and those of other nations. If the nomi- nations for our representatives abroad lay with the department of state and a sure system of promotion was brought into active operation, and se- cure tenure of office guaranteed to the mcumbents of our diplomatic offices, our country would have less cause to complain of her foreign consuls, important continue consuls of Wuex a man who swallowed a camel without wincing is choking at a gnat, he makes himsclf supremely ridiculous, The editor of the Herald has not a word to say about the out- rageous partiality of our assessors,jand the jug handle system of local taxation that exempts millions of dollars worth of property owned by rich men and wealthy corporations, but a great hue and cry is raised about the location of crosswalks and other matters of com- paratively trifling impoctance. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The death of Archur Penryhn Stan- ley, Dean of Westminester, removes oneof the most genial lights of the En- glish church. Scholarly, broad and liberal in theology, politically cosmo- politan he commanded wide popular- ity and genuine affection and respect. A dignitary in the the church, a man of the most exemplary and devoted personal piety, he was also a reformer in religion as well as in politics. His sympathies in both fields of labor were with progress, and he was active and vigorous in its championship. All men who honor a noble christain man- hood, who respect a life full of work and crowned with rizh fruition, will mourn his death, He was borne in Alderly, Cheshire Dec. 13, 1815. His father was Dr. Edward Stanley (1779-1849,) rectorof Aiderley for 82 years, bishop of Norwich from 1837, and author of ‘‘Familiar History of Birds"” (two vols., 1835,) ete. The son was educated at Rugby, and 1838 graduated at University college, Oxford, where he subsequently rosid- ed for 12 years as tutor, In 1851 he was appointed canon of Canterbury and he was Regius professor of eccles- instical history at Ox fard from 1856 to 1804, when he was made dean of 'Westminster. He is a leader of the “Broad Church” par- ty. He has published ‘‘Life and Cor- respondence of Thomas Arnold, D. D.” (2 yols.,, 8vo, 1844), which has passed through numerous foreign lan- guages; ‘‘Sermons and Essays on the Apostolic Age” (1847); “‘The Epis- tles of St. Paul to the Corinthians, with critical Notes and Dissertations” 2 vol,, 8vo, 1800; 4th ed. 1874); ‘‘Hlstorical Memorial of Canterbury Cathedral” (8vo, 1855, bth ed. 1869); “‘Sinai and Palestine, in Connection with their History” (8vo, 18506; 20th od. 1874); “Lectures on the History | on our narthern boundary.

It is clear that before long this current will be greatly accelerated as furnishing the onlymeans of escape from excessive local taxation. There ns for a are not the necessary conditi homogeneous and progressive nation The pres- ent experiment may be worth making, but it is costing something to make it. Tue excitement in England over the attempted nssassination of Presi- dent Garfield seems to have nearly paralled that in sections of this country. Among those who called at the American Legation in London immediately after the shooting of Prosident Garfield to express their sympathy were Sir Stafford North- cote, Sir Henry D. Wolf, the Duc d’Aumale, the Baron Solvyns, the Earl and Countess of Airlie, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, the Baroness Burdett - Coutts and Mr. Burdett- Coutts Bartlett, Sir Henry and Lady Holland and Miss Holland, the Dow- ager Lady Stanley of Alderly, the Countess of Rosebery, the Earl of Lytton, Lerd Enfield, Sir Henry James, Sir W, V. Harcourt, member of parliament; M. von Hengelmuller, (Charge d’Affairs of Austria and Hun- gary), the Earl of Kimberley, the French Ambassador, the Turkish Am- bassadar, the Italian Ambassador, the Spanish Minister, the Duke of Wel- lington, the Earl of Malmesbury, Sir Thomas Erskine May, Sir R. A, Cross, and Viscount Barrington, some The expulsion of Don Carlos from France once more calls attention to the fact that the crown of Alfonso is menaced by dangers from without as well as from within. The devoted peasantry of the Basque and indeed of all the northern provinces of Spain still stand ready to flock to the Carlist flag whenever it is raised. how severely revolt may be stamped out, it still smoulders in the moun- tains, The case bears many points of similarity to the Stuart rallies made in 1715 and 1745, the Pretender in each instance being supported and buttressed by the blind loyalty of the Highlanders without a single worthy No matter trait in his character to warrant such devotion. It is reported on good authority from Vienna that negotiations are in progress tending to the formation of an alliance between Germany, Austria, Hungary and France. Russia since the death of Alexander IL has ceased to be the close ally of Germany. So long as Alexander IT. was alive Russia was the main European power, with which the German empire endeavored to keep on terms of close friendship atany cost, The relationship of the late Ozar with Emperor William and the mutual regard which had grown up between them, served to cement this alliance while Bismarck’s own in- timacy with Andrassy brought about an unusally close friendship between Germany and Austria-Hungary; and thus arose the famous Three Emperors of Alliance. The French have gained in Africa a territory larger than that which they lost by the cession of Alsace to Ger- many. Now, to extend that possession from Tunis to Tripoli, and ultimately perhaps to Egypt, France needs the countenance of justthose two powers: the German and the Austro-Hungary Empires. They, on the other hand, have also their purposes to serve. Ger- many wants peace and undisturbed possession of Alsace and Loraine, of the Eastern Church” (8vo, 1861); “‘Lectures on the History of the Jew- ish.

The expense of maintaining the present system of government entails an annual outlay of $28.256 for every man in the Dominion. It is clear that, on econo mical grounds, the Dominion is not a success. Debt has been contracted recklessly and money has been voted lavishly, As a consequencethe Domin- ion is more heavily in debt in propor- tion to its resowrces than any solvent Austria-Hungary wants to crawl cau- tiously forward to Constantinople,and rather finds it to her interest that the French should march in the same di. rection on the other side of the Medi- terranean, France, Germany and Itily report bountiful crops, while it is a settled fact that the wheat harvest of this country will not reach an average yield. These are facts full of signi- ficance in their bearing on the grain transportation question. These cir- cumstances will require the farmers aud commission merchants of this country to save every cent that can be saved on the cost of transportation hence to Europe, if the farmer ex- pects to get the same prices for his grain that he has heretofore secured with large crops. They will compel attention to the river route, which is made cheaper than all others. Friends of the Prince of Wales are pressing for an increase of the yearly allowance of the prince, but with poor prospects of sucess, England’s civil list hos been considerably reduced by acts of parliament within the present country, $5,000,000; under George 111 it was reduced to $4,500,000; under William IV. to $2,5660,000; and by an act passed the second year of Victoria's reign it was fixed at $1,925,000, and the act specifics that whenever the civil-list charges for any year exceed £400,000 (82,000,000 a bill of partic- ulars shall be sent to parliament within thirty days, By different Actsof Parliaent the royal household has been provided for asfollows: Dakeof Edinburgh, 125,000 per year; Duke of Connaught,$125,000 per year; Princess of Prussia, $40,000 per year; Prince Loopold, $40,000 per Under George I. it was | af year; Princess Christian, $30,000 per year; Princess Louise, £30,000 per year; Duches of Cambridge, £30,000 per year; Princess Teck, 25,000 per year; Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg, 225,000 per year; Prince of Wales, £200,000 per year; Princess of Wales, £50,000 per year—total £780,000. But in addition to the 200,000 voted out of the to the Prince of revenues of the kingdom Wales, he gets the the Duchy of Cornwall, which have averaged net for the last twelve years about £320,000 a year. So that his net i ne has been over £500,000 a year. We have, then, the following net sums: Queen, $2,145,000 per year; Heir apparent, 520,000 per year; Princess of Wales, 850,000 per year; all others, £530,000 per year--grand total 83, 245,000. These salaries are however consider- ably lower than the income of some of the continental sovereigns. The King of Prussia receives $3,100,000; the Crar of Russia over £12,000,000, and the Emperor of Austria $4,500,000. The allowance to the King of little Belgium is about thirteen times the salary of the President of the mighty Republic of the United States; while the King and royal family of impover- ished Spain and Ttaly eat up, respec- tively, $3,400,000 and $3,375,000 a year of the people’s substance. revenues of HONEY FOR 1HE LADIES, Ombre net, in all colors, is pretty for strings or scarfs on summer bonnets, A woman in Philadelphia has been bound over by a magristrate as a common scold.
