The selection of Clinilemagno Tower,
of Philadelphia, fot the Austtlnn mis
sion Is not a pattlsnn tew aid. but
juther a mcognltton of speclul peibon

weulth and sehuliuly uttalnmenli
whose literal y, linguistic und .social
training inatks him us peeulluily
suited to a position of this kind. Vienna
Is the most atlstocratlo capital In the
voi Id, and Mr. Tower, In the best seiibe
of the woid, is an uilstociat. By this
we mean that he has had means and
lelsuiu to qualify himself In those ac
complishments which nie lequlred in
a successful diplomatist, but which the
majoilty of Amet leans, in the stiess of
earning a lUellhood, have to foiego
A fulr view or facts must take Into ac

dPiing oneself woithy of olllclal dis

him best Is not to be dlsi eg.it ded, ha

In the btudy and fosteilng of the llbeial

as would be most likelj to Impiess with

who Is thereby Infotmcd, In an tmpies
slve manner, at the eiy beginning of
his DWlieishlp of tineuined wealth, that
he Is undot obligations to the commun

sociology, the man who wins wealth
by his own stiong endeavor does not
abuse It; but it Is unfoi tunately also

A Lesson from Albany.
Some of the things to be avoided at

the Albany Pi ess and Knickeibockei
has Instltutel between the bill of costs
for the Albany capltol and that for the
capltol at Washington.
Last yeui it cost the state of New
Voile $330,000 for the caie of its public
buildings at Albany, of which the cap
ltol and the governors mansion aie the
piinclpal ones. The cost of peifoun
Ing similar sen Ice for the much luigei
capltol at Wushincton was less than
half as much.
Last ear at Albany S-1S,000 was spent
for lighting the state house and the
governors mansion. Last year it cost
to Unlit the national capltol only $23,
000 The annual pay loll at Washington
for capltol emploes, Including the sei
lces ot foity-nlne policemen und
watchmen, amounted last ear to $117,
S15. The pay loll at Albany, In the
