DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SER
VICE. Some time ago the American Consul at King
ston, Jamaica, entertained himself by de
livering an ardent speech in favor of the Cuban
insurgents to an audience assembled in the
foreign port to which he was accredited. Un
satisfied with this inappropriate outburst of
enthusiasm, he more recently niado another
speech on the Cuban question, in which ho
not only reiterated his former sentiments,
but earnestly assailed the Cuban policy
adopted by the administration. For this last
offense he has been very properly suspended,
and a successor has been appointed who, it is
hoped, is gifted with a higher sense of official
propriety. "While the action of the resi
dent and Secretary of State in referenca to
the "ever faithful isle" is a proper subject
for the criticism of Congress, the press, and
the private citizens who constitute the sove
reigns of the nation, the oratorical official
had no right to publicly attack the
authorities whom he represented. It
would bo almost impossible for
any consul, diplomatic agent, or minister of
any other country to commit such a gross
broach of decorum; and the most charitable
construction that can be placed upon the
conduct of the offender is that he was igno
rant of the real nature of hia position and
duties, as well as reckless and wantonly dis
respectful. This is the only civilized nation
rich, powerful, and important enough to
maintain an extensive diplomatic and con
sular system, which does not require special
training in those chosen to fill its important
diplomatic and semi-diplomatic positions.
The rulers of other countries would as soon
think of p'acing a raw civilian in command
of a great army on the eve of an important
engagement, or of appointing a landsman to
command a ship-of-war, as of sending abroad
a - minister who had not been thoroughly
schooled in all the minutiie as well as the
leading principles connected with the official
intercourse of governments. Diplomats
must not only rise step by step from
attaches to secretaries of legation, and
prove their ability in small things before
they are entrusted with the manage
ment of large ones, but they are expected to
be familiar with the history as well as the
language of the court or capital to which they
are accredited. In departing from this cus
tom, America has been especially fortunate,
in some instances, in securing the services of
ministers of great native talent and force of
character, but nearly all of these had enjoyed
excellent indirect, if not direct, diplomatio
training, and the bulk of ministers and charges
d'affaires who have received missions as a re
ward for partisan services have been so noto
riously incompetent that they have done the
nation infinitely more harm than good. It is
better to tolerate pretentions and ignorant
imbeciles at home, than to permit them to
disgrace ns in the eyes of the foreign world,
and to lower the American name at placos
where, in certain contingencies, it is essential
that it should command respect. Half of our
ministers are either a laughing-stock, or, what
is still worse, guilty of disgraceful if not dis
honest conduct; and it is no slight evil to be
represented in the family of nations by knaves
and fools. We begin by appointing men
who, though they may be the most
grandiloquent of spread-eagle orators or the
most unscrupulous of partisan managers, have
sever learned the rudiments of diplomacy;
we intensify this evil by turning them out of
office as soon as they acquire a faint idea of
their duties; and we suffer meanwhile, con
stantly, from the follies and vices which in
evitablv spring from such an absurd method
of selection and uncertainty of official tenure.
Experience has demonstrated that we cannot
wisely and safely depart from the course pur
sued by other nations. A skilful and well-
trained corps of diplomatists and consuls
could render inestimable services to the
country. Ever mindful of its interests, they
could watch and promote them at every
point, as well as send home a thousand sag
gestions useful to commerce, agriculture, and
manufactures. The men who from time to
time do discharge these duties conscientiously
and intelligently are so few that their credit
" able services only bring into stronger ' relief
the incapacity of their idle and incompetent
associates.
THE SVEZ CANAL.
The ceremonies connected with the coinple
tion of the Sues Canal are now being cole
brated with fitting pomp and magnificence.
like the circumstances attending the origin
and prosecution of that work, they give
striking illustration of the triumph of modern
over ancient civilization, and of the fulness
of the mastery which Western Europe has
acquired over an old seat of empire. Men
still gaze with wonder upon the ruins of the
great architectural works constructed by
Ecvpt In an age when Germany, Franoe, and
Great Britain were peopled, only by barba
rians as rude as the native vages of Ame
rica. But when a great modern la0or was to
be performed on the soil enrich4 by these
ruinB, no .Ugypuan uram wag. oapa.
Lie " of executing it, and V6yond
the contribution of the Wght
of way and of unskilled labor, no EgyptUu
aid was extended. From the centres which
were once foremost in all industrial enter
prises and intellectual progress no help was
receivod; and, instead of friendly assistance,
a series of artificial governmental obstacles
were created, whioh proved more euibarrass-
t 1 . . .
. ' ' ..
ing than the excavation of the canal or the
sand-storms of the dosort. European money
paid all the bills, European genius furnished
all the brains and the machinery, and it
wrought a final success in spite of the dis
couraging fact that the dominant local in
fluences increased the task involved by a
thousand vexatious and annoying complica
tions. It is a fitting; sequel to
this Ruccess that the Empress of France,
the Emperor of Austria, the Prinoe Royal
of Prussia, and the Frinee and Princess of
Holland should now appear npon the scene,
not merely as invited guests summoned to
give increased edtt, but as the official repre
sentatives of the patrons of the enterprise.
The circumstances attending the journey of
the Empress Eugenie, when viewed in this
light, also possess peculiar interest. Her trip
is a modern travestie upon the old story of
Maro Antony and Cleopatra. There is no
lack of magnificence and grandeur in either
case, although we have heard of no pearls
dissolved in vinegar. In our aga, it is the
lady who vibits the lord. Love-making
is, of course, out of the question, and the
Sultan, although the head of the creed which
teaches that women have no souls, fails in no
testimonials of respect to the wife of a West
ern sovereign. It is even announced that the
leading religious ceremonies at the oponing
of the canal were conducted by Eugenie's
favorite priest, and although Mussulman
prayers were also offered up, they formed but
a secondary feature to the Tc Deum. The
' East still nominally belongs to the followers
of the Trophet, but morally, intellectually,
and industrially it has been conquered by
Western Europe; and however much the Sul
tan may quarrel with his Viceroy, he will not
dare to obstruct the operations of the canal,
which is now under the protection of the
powerful rulers of Germany and France.
THE UNHAPPY DOMINION.
During the year ending June 150, 18GH, as
shown in another article in to-day's issue,
20,013 emigrants from Canada landed in the
United States, to become permanent resi
dents of this country. This was almost one
third the number furnished by Ireland, the
inexhaustible fountain of immigration. In the
latter country the population is so dense, and
the condition of the lower classes so wretched,
that almost every man, woman, and child
who can command the means emigrates to
the United States. But Canada is essentially
a new country, only a narrow strip of which
is as yet peopled by Europeans and their de
scendants. Thousands upon thousands of
acres of unoccupied land are included in the
Dominion, which the rulers of that country
would have the world believe present tho
most inviting field for settlement on the
American continent. Yet not only does the
tide of foreign immigration shun the shores
of the Dominion, but from the very heart of
the settled portion springs another stream of
immigration to tho United States which has
already assumed gigantic proportions, and is
steadily increasing from year to year.
This circumstance goes to show that people
who are on the move and lookout for a per
manent home regard Canada as a very poor
country to immigrate to, and a very good
country to emigrate from. And whenever we
take up a Canadian paper or a Canadian tele
gram, we are led to believe that the people
who are on the move are about right. In the
first place, the Dominion is neither one thing
nor the other, neither sovereign within itself
nor acknowledging the entire supremacy of the
mother country. It occupies a position some
what analogous to that of the Viceroyalty of
Egypt, although there is an essential differ
ence in the position of the two countries,
Egypt being desirous of securing a nominal
as well as a practical independence, against
which course Turkey interposes a deoided
objection, while Great Britain is anxious to
shake off Canada in name as well as in fact,
and Canada professes to be too loyal to listen
to the proposition. From this state of affairs
springs a degree of uncertainty which de
presses almost every interest in the Dominion,
and tends to maintain that spirit of discon
tent on the part of the people which results
in the large emigration to the United
States already noted. . In addition
to the general tribulations of the
unhappy Dominion, several of the provinces
have been afflicted with chronio discontent
ever since they were forced by the British
Parliament into what tney are pleased to re
gard as an unholy, unnatural, and disad
vantageous alliance with the other provinoes;
and to consummate the wretchedness of the
people and crown the perplexities of their
rulers, the Red River country is in open re
volt, repudiating the man who has been sent
to rule over them, and defying the whole
power of the Dominion, which he threat
ens to call to his aid. But in the
particular province of Ontario there
prevails an even more distressing
state of affairs than elsewhere. 1 The leader
of the opposition in the local Parliament has
become the champion of distant Nova Scotia,
by presenting a series of resolutions begging
the Imperial Government to release the latter
province from her distasteful alliance; while
Sir John A. MacDonald, the Premier, has
been on a grand drunk ever sinoe his Royal
Highness Prince Arthur first stepped foot
upon Dominion soil. Putting it altogether,
Canada is certainly in a very bad way, and it
is doubtful if anything short of annexation to
the United States will suffice to prevent its
speedy depopulation. 1 ,
