FREELAND, PA., MAY 1, 1893. — Minister anil Embassador. The raising of Ministers Pauncefote of England and Patenotro of France to the full rank of embassadors by their | respective governments is significant of the growing consideration felt for this government by the nations of Europe. | It is likely that Germany, Italy, Aus- , tria, Russia and Spain will follow suit and shortly elevate their representatives at Washington to the rank of embassa- j dor. In the etiquette of tho diplomatic | service there are threo general classes of j accredited agents to a foreign country— j the embassador, the minister plenipoten tiary and tho charge d'affaires. The em ! bassador is the highest, representing not ! only his government but absolutely tho i person of his sovereign at a foreign cap ital. It is a fact that hitherto the govern ments ®f Europe, while they sent embas sadors to one another's capitals, sent only ministers plenipotentiary to the United States. Our chief diplomatic represen tatives in Europe therefore took the rank of minister also and fell into the second class of diplomatic agents. The embassador takes precedence of tho min ister on all ceremonial occasions, and therefore even James Russell Lowell, when he was minister to England, had to walk behind the representatives ol every court in Europe. Now, however, there will be a chango. Since tho nations of Europe show their appreciation of the power of the United States by making their ministers embassadors the United States will naturally do likewise. Min ister Eustis will probably shortly be the United States embassador to France. Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, our cmbassadoi to England, has tho honor of being the first American diplomat of the highest rank. Biennial Legislative Sessions. In Massachusetts old time tradition adheres to this day to the annual elec tion of both governor and members of the legislature. It has been argued that this makes great fuss and feathers, with no corresponding good results to show; that, in short, it would be much better to • have not only the governor elected every two years, but also tho legislative assem bly meet only every other year. Usages of the states differ according to their own sweet fancy in this matter. A majority hold elections for both governor and legislature biennially, with annual ses sions of the latter body. Probably com mon opinion favors this system. In the New England Magazine Mr. Raymond L. Bridgman argues in favor not only of electing a governor, but also the legislature every year. Truth com pels an unprejudiced observer to say that his reasons for the annual legislative ses sions are stronger than those for the an nual elections. One point which he men tions is that the rural inhabitants would be satisfied with a meeting of the legis lature overy two years. They live quietly and simply. They do not feel the rush ing current of growth pushing them fiercely on. It is the cities that require annual ses sions. New needs constantly arise as the population increases and civilization becomes more complex. To mention only one or two instances, whenever a discovery like the telephone or tho elec tric light and electric transit is put to general use, a multitude of laws must be made to fit the new needs. It is the same all over. The law of development requires that the old' should be wiped out, the new mado place for. Then, too, in our new countries the mistakes of law makers are something prodigious. As a wit once said, the mistakes of doctors are hidden underground; those of the lawyers and lawmaking bodies cannot be. When a legislature has made a bad break, it must come together as quickly as possible and mend the break. I There is another reason Mr. Bridgman might have brought forward, but does not, in favor of annual sessions. In this country every man is a sovereign, and j all citizens ought to be kept in touch j with the times and governing laws as well as with parliamentary rule and usage. This can be accomplished by no means so well as by annual tive session. There are those in this country who talk of the United States restoring her | throne to Liliuokalani and holding her ! steady upon that frail and tottering stool. The United States will look well in the role of bolstering up a monarchy, will it I not? I The Count of Paris says in his mani festo that only monarchy can give France a strong and stable government. The strength and stability of a government depend on the honesty and intelligence of the people themselves. Where they have these, any government can be strong and stable. Where they have them not, no government can be strong and stable. It is believed the applications for places in tho marine hospital service will not be | so numerous after the doctors in the country know that to get such an office they must pass an examination in the common school branches, particularly in geography and United States history. This is an insinuation against the aver age doctor's ability to spell, which we hurl back with scorn. It is mentioned as a fact that tho re public of Brazil has offered to pay all the traveling expenses of colored people from the United States who desire to settle in Brazil as colonists. They will I get their farms free besides, on the | homestead plan, after they get there. | Ilere is a better chance for the black man than the white man ever had in the | United States. Tho white peoplo who colouized America paid their own ex penses here and had to whip out the In- I dians and establish a government before : they could begin to really live. All this has been done in Brazil long ago. If now tho negro has the grit to accept tho offer . from Brazil and go there, he can amass a j fortune for himself. It is a golden op portunity to prove his claim to be the | equal of tho white man. New Fielil For Photography. | Photography, tho mere art of talcing sun pictures, has entered on a new field, and a thoroughly charming and inter esting one. It is only the truth to say that this new phase is duo almost solely to tho amateur photographers. It is the science and art of grouping objects and living beings in an artistic arrangement and then taking a photograph of the study. Tho effect is in some instances as pleasing as that ©fa beautiful painting. Indeed enlarged paintings could be made from some of these groups that would grace any gallery in tho land. The amateur lady photographers have been the ones to develop this branch most successfully. It is quite in line with refined artistic tastes. It is also much easier to use the warm, living flesh and blood models to perpetuate an ar tistic idea than to spend months and years over dry paint and canvas and I then sometimes meet failure. Tho pos- I sibilities are here almost infinite, limited only by tho photographer's artistic gift. To search long and carefully for beauti ful models, to group them according tc tho thought in tho artist's brain and then snap a camera at the picture and pre serve it—there is not a pleasanter fad oi relaxation than this. Every emotion good and bad, every grace, every virtue, beauty or deformity can thus be depict ed at first hand. In this kind of work Miss Katherine Weed Barnes, grand duugliter of Thurlow Weed, has few equals. She has been pronounced in ' London the most skillful amateur pho- j tographer living. The Cherokee Outlet, A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat writes that the above is the right name for the tract of land com monly called the Cherokee strip. He himself has been over the country sev eral times, and he pronounces the new region a "laud of promise in every sense of the term." The Outlet is CO miles across from north to south and 210 miles long from east to west. Tho moment the gun is fired announcing it open 50,- 000 will tear forward in a race to locate homes or grab town lots for speculation. The Outlet lies between Kansas on the north and Oklahoma on tho south. It will become a part of Oklahoma ter ritory on its opening. The boomers will find their way through it much easiei than they did in Oklahoma, for foul railroads already enter or cross it. There are several good stage routes as well. By the evening of the second day aftei that shot is fired the writer thinks very few good claims will be left vacant, and the majority of settlers will have taken possession within three hours. In ad dition to having stage routes and rail roads through it the country is abun dantly watered. Wo know how good a land it must be when wo remember the hard time there was getting the cattle grazers off it, and they finally had to be held off by United States cavalry. Be fore the opening the counties and county seats will have been established, and the settlers can have postoffices and local government at ouce. In a month's time these American citizens will probably be starting schools. Oklahoma contains something over 2,000,000 acres, half of which is first class land. The Outlet is almost three times as large, with nearly all of it fer tilo. Tho G.-D. writer says there are very few quarter sections in which a thrifty man cannot earn a living for I himself and family. His imagination revels with delight in the luxuriance of j the blue grass, which no number of cat tle "have ever seemed able to eat off during the summer months." The Cher okee Outlet is a good place for thrifty farmers who have saved uj) a little money by renting and cropping lands in the older states. From 83,000 to 84,000 quarter sections will be open for settlement in tiiis mag nificent country. The soil of most is black and loamy. Tho boomers who await the opening are an unusually thrifty and intelligent class. ; FROM SUBURBAN POINTS. j (Continued From I'uge 1.) \ ney which is now made between here and Freeland. As a rule the people of this place do their trading in Freeland and we believe'with as much profit as can be done elsewhere, but to the people i of today convenience means much, and , unless the Union Passenger Company , can do something to offset the move i ments of the North Side Company, the • trade of this place, which should go to Freeland, will go to Hazleton. the matter of a few cents extra in reaching Hazleton will not be considered so long as it is more convenient. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. The nonsensical discussion began by our friend Bobby over an old plug hat has gone about far enough, and it is time to talk about some other things when he occupies three-quarters of a newspaper column saying nothing. When his first answer appeared Mary Ann thought Bobby would keep his writing inside the bounds of common sense, and she was willing to furnish him with replies if lie did, hut to see any young man wasting ink and paper, to say nothing of the work imposed on the printers, makes us feel like ai>ologizing to the public for having taken any notice to him in the first place. Had we thought that the discussion would have been the cause of Bobby showing himself up to the people of the community in the way lie did Mary Ann would have been more charitable and dropped it long ago, but we believed Bobby was not utterly brainless until his last letter was published. There is nothing to be found in it to answer in any way, except several high j sounding words put together in a shape which makes them beyond the under standing of ordinary people. If Bobby wrote his last letter in the language of the Chinese it would be as easy to under- j stand as the way he treated the English language on Monday. As Mary Ann j does not claim to be an unraveler of grammatical puzzles she will drop out until Bobby is done soaring around the air with iris crooked sentences and ex pressions that the public is tired laugh ing at. When he comes back to com mon sense we are ready for him. As we said before, Mary Ann feels like J making an apology to the readers of this j j paper for having started Bobby on his wild career by mentioning the plug hat affair, but as he may soon recover his lost senses lie will surely see how foolish lie lias acted and ask pardon of you all j himself. Mary Ann takes back nothing she has said yet, and can stand by every word she lias written, and hopes that Bobby will in a few weeks be numbered again with the sane people of Eckiey. I With the best of friendship for all and ! trusting that Bobby will take the old plug hat to the Upper Lehigh dye works, j as a correspondent from that place ad-1 vised him, we bid you goodbye until Thursday, when you can read a letter of ( news from Maky Ann. j BASE BALL.
