We suggested that tlie fault, if there was any, rested on the I I'nited States government, which, if it de-ires to see its representatives taking the rank on ceremonial occasions which I they should take among the representa- tivesof tlie great powers, must give them I tlie rank and pay of ambassadors, which they do not no receive. The fact has lor a long I mitted, that the our government time been ad-alaries which for diplomatic cases actual-the pecuniary I order to meet service are in many ly inadequate to meet demands of the positions. the social and ceremonial requirements of 1 the ollices they hold, our toreign minis-1 ters, especially at the Knglish, French and German courts, llnd it necessary, not i only to expend every cent of the salaries they receive, but to draw largely upon 1 their ow private fortunes. It lias come to the point that a man, no matter how well equipped in other respects, hardly dares to accept a diplomatic olllce unless I he is possessed of considerable personal I vveaiin. vv suppose mat mis wis i uue, ooo peruaps ine principal rea-! son, which caused Minister Phelps I to hesitate, at first, about accepting tlie Knglish mission.

That he did so dually, I was, perhaps, due more to the solicita tions of his friends than to his own deliberate judgment. A man may well hesi-tatu when an honor can be accepted only at the risk of impairing the fortune, on which he is dependent for the comfort of his declining years. In another instance, fortunately, no doubt, for the country, this argument proved irresistible. Mr. Ilanna of Indiana declined the Persian mission, because lie found that he could not alTord to accept it.

A little tiguriug convinced him that to aet his family to Teheran would consume nearly the whole of his first year's salary, and.as the cost of living in Persia is very high, he would probably be dependent on charity after the first few vostilmir'i. It, tlint pnllnfrv Air Hiinna was undoubtedly a very untlt man for the place but if he had been the llt-test man possible, with no more property, hu would have had to decline, ull the same. Tlie list of those who have refused for- eiL'ii missions for the reason that they could ,1,,,,, a necessity, because of the style of liv UK which has come to be expected of the minister to that court. The icm government suuds its representative to tlie Court of St. James with something like the following instructions "Hero are tun dollars.

Go to England and procure iis thu good favor of the British people Make yourself popular there, and if you want any more money, draw on your own bank account." Thu London Press which seems to realize tliu point, apparently, more than our own leading American journals ventures to give soinu advice on the subject, which seems to us, not only lu good spirit, hut excellent taste. The London 7'We- ijruph suggests to the American govern ment the propriety of raising the Ameri- can legation in Kngland to an embassy. cuango as mis would, CL.SS()r Giu)S ln thL. management theoretically, involve a principle foreign of tliu to enter Into negotia-to our democratic notions as an ainbassa-1 tlons for the latter. They each got so tar dor is understood to represent the person as to agree with tho owner on tlie price.

All at once the Governor grew cold and amount to nothing more than tho elevation of our representative to an equal raiiK witli that ot the representatives of other great nations, and en-suru for him, and for thu country, that dignity and distinction in public ceremonials which they deserve. Our minister should, of course, also receive the pay of an ambassador, ami would then be ablu to meet thu social requirements of his position without trespassing upon his own private property.

It Is iiitMrtiitVlmr tnimr rrnnil fli.nl In i sav hut here is any determined or organ i.ed ellort on the part of anybody to prevent Hie re-election of Senator Kdinunds. Governor Smith would like to succeed 1 1 1 in and has been ready to any time since tlie movement on his part has been tentative and is now somnolent. There is no doubt that Mr. Kdniunds's cold indlll'i'i'i'iice last summer oll'ended many llepuhlieans in the State. Not because they were lllaiue men they were not.

Hut they were Republicans of the nio.st devoted kind. To them the success ot the party seemed to he essential to the welraie, perhaps even tne me, oi me na-i Hon. and they thought that all personal feelings ought to be sunk to that end. To i such men and they made up tour lll'tlis ot the Republican party in the State-whatever Mr. Kdniunds's opinion of Mr.

1 lllaiue might lie. they telt that it was Ins duty lor the sake of the party, to work for Ids election with all his might, and to put forth his great powers to the utmost to conquer tlie Democracy. When the campaign was over and the party was de-I leated the opinion was strong that Mr. Kdinunds had not done bis duty. The Legislature was in session, and its Re-I publican members scolded a good deal about his conduct.

Hut the ill-temper I soon subsided, so quickly that .1. D. Hatch i of liurlington and Chester W. Witters ot' who had charge of Gov. Smith's interests at Hie Legislature, and the for-1 titer ot whom is considered to be the as-, tutest politician in Vermont, were not able to take advantage of it.

As soon as they could consult witli Governor Smith a 1 resolution was drawn up, winch, it was proposed, should be adopted by a caucus of Hie Republican members of the Legis-i luture, condemning Senator Kdniunds's course in the campaign. It was put into tlie bauds of Senator Warren Gililis ot llttrliiigton, the chairman ot Hie Repub lican Stale central committee. allace Parker, the representative trom (jam- hriilLre. a rattle-headed Islaine man with an extraordinary gift of gab of the Logan variety, was to be his lieutenant. Hut it Was discovered the resolution could not be carried and tlie scheme was drop- iped.

Nevertheless Governor Smith did 1 not at once give up all hope of ousting Mr. Kdinunds. The Iloston de- i votion to Mr. lilaine was availed ot and that paper contained several editorial denunciations of Mr. Kdinunds during tlie winter, their argument being Ids inactivity during the presidential campaign.

Kven Ids announcement of the result of tlie count of thu electoral votes was severely cilticised. Very likely Gov. Smith had nothing to do with the publication of these editorials by the Journal but certain indiscreet friends, who are very near him, said that he did, and intimated that I the lire would be kept up at Intervals tin- til Mr. Kdinunds was disposed ot for good. The Jmmml ceased about the first of last March, for the reason, it is believed, 1 that Colonel Clapp discovered that attacks on Mr.

Kdinunds were not relished by its patrons in Vermont. The only Republi- can newspapers in the State which attack Mr. Kdinunds are the Rutland llcvlcw and tiie St. Albans from which Mr. Dixon was deposed last reiiruary, and of which Mr.

Cihbs went through the i at it and atlect to dispise it. We are to 1 forms that are called purchasing from expect, of course, the usual gibes concern-I Governor Smith.

Mr.

Gibbs has never got over his reception by Mr. Kdinunds, and he seems i to be really actuated by personal anlinosi-tv. There is some reason for believing that Governor Smith does not approve of Mr. Glhbs's attacks on Mr. Kdinunds in tlie not because ho sympathizes with the Senator, but because hu tliinks they are bad policy.

There is a daily edition of tliu It'itfcunrui published during each session of tlie Legislature, which is read by the members more than any other paper, and its Intlii-encu is great. Thu Burlington the only paper except the Clipper in that part of tlie State, and one of the four dallies in tho State, will be for Mr.

Kdiuumls "llrst, last and all the time." 1 hose politicians who are best informed believe that Governor Smith has. for the present at least, come to the conclusion that Mr. Kdinunds cannot bo beaten if he remains in the Held, ami is a candidate for re-election. But will hu be candidate i One of his nearest friends, at least, thinks hu will not.

Stewart, inlorniing liim of the fact. It is now understood Hint, if Mr, Kilmillids hail resigned the Selialoiship at that time, Gov. Proctor (who was then III the gubernatorial chair) would have appointed Gov. Stewart to Mil the vacancy, until the Legislature til its session in the fall ot lssp should till the vacancy.aiid that such an appointment would have been very agreeable to Mr. Kdmuiiils.

As it happened Hunt did not resign at that time and when tlie vacancy did occur, in President Arthur's time, I'Miniinds ret used the nomination when il was again tendered him. Hlatehford now has the place. In some way or other Hie news of the early notlllcation to Gov. Stewart came to Gov. Smith's ears, and it greatly disturbed him.

lie had tor many years paid Mr.Kdmunds slum) a year as a 'retainer in his Vermont Central litigation and he thought that such muiiillcence deserved the same lavor as was shown Stewart. Looking over tlie Held to-day it seems that Proctor would be the strongest can didate before tlie Legislature, should Mr. Kdinunds not he a candidate. Gov. Smith lias not the political strength he had once.

His support of Chief Justice Riiyco in lSi'i gave his macliiuu a strain trom which it never will recover. His weakness was shown last summer when Charles W. Porter, a young man who had never been in defeated Dr. Nichols tor tlie Secretaryship of State in spite of all the Smith macliine could do. Mr.

Stewart stands well and has a good record as a Congressman but there is a well-founded notion that lie is lazy. That he is thoroughly honest and has ability of a high older, no one disputes. Proctor is tlie best business man in tlie State. He was a good soldier, anil is particularly strong iu executive ability. He lias the reiiutation of bending all those who come iu contact witli him to his will, and ot tical value to him compared with thu dis-never failing in anything lie undertakes, cipline that lias come to him in acquiring Uf tlie "dark horses" Judge Veazey i it.

The graduates of this year lbsv, we feel would be the most likelv to win. I sure have on the whole fewer illusions Hut unless something very unexpected I concerning themselves and their future should happen, you may "put it down" than their predecessors have had, and as that if senator Kdinunds should be a can didate for re-election, he will be chosen without serious Republican opposition. Tlio ComiuenceiiHMit Season. The following article from the Boston Tmrcllcr is so sound and sensible that we copy it entire, and endorse it, as a true and timely word, exceedingly well said The college commencement season is upon us, and with it come as a matter of course the customary adverse criticisms of college training, tlie assertions that it is unpractical, and the demand for sweeping changes in tlie ordinary college curriculum. Because some men have succeeded I in llie oauie oi ine, aim nave nun 1 in the world oi letters, in political aim professional life, in spite of a lack of col-I iegiate training, there are those who sneer tne oilier end oi uie ciass are raiuer loose 1 who are to he heard from iu subsequent years.

We shall lie told mat tne ciuei things the young men take with them as they leave college halls are their diplomas, "lib: heads," a most exaggerated idea of i their own importance, and overweening Ullll uufiLs .11. t.iv, It will be intimated also that our colleges have been degenerating that boating, base ball and foot ball aru among thu leading studies pursued, and Hie stalu old attempts at jokes concerning tlie pastimes are to do service again and make their annual rounds. But the colleges will live, the places of the graduates will be lllled when, after the summer vacation, college doors aru opened again, ami the work of i training men for advantageously be- i dimlng tlie battle of life will go on A good deal of the criticism of the work done ill thu American college is of thu sour I grnpu variety. and then thu college spous a goo.nai or mechanic, or Imsi uess man to made a third-rate doctor, or lawyer, or minister, but thesu cases uie much rarer than are alleged, and iu fact noboilv knows whether the third-rate doc tor, lawver. or minister would ever have made more than a third-rate farmer or mechanic.

Wo venture the opinion that the college never spoiled very much good material, and that at present it is spoiling less than ever. The real value of what is termed the higher education will hardly be seriously questioned, and the colleges have never done better work in this cause of higher education than they are doing to-dar. and no set of young men have been turned out of them better equipped for beginning their struggle with tliu world than thu hundreds who take their diplo mas at this present Commencement sea son.

HENRY A. MOTT, etc. to follow his bent. There is little doubt that the college graduate of to-day is bet-' ter informed, more self-possessed, more manly in bearing than the graduate of a quarter of a century ago.

There is of course a certain glamour surrounding Commencement day now and then will be found a case ot "big head," hut the glamour will soon be dissipated, and the, sell-conceit of the college graduate is undoubtedly les than that of the graduate of the public high school. In many eases Hie latter is sure "he knows it all.

It should give it a hearty1 welcome, and spare its sneers and criti-, cisms.
