Washington, July i.—John Watson Foster, of Indiana, ha* been nominated bv the president and confi-tn d by the senate a-secretary of state. This is. perhap*, taking it ail in ail. the b ddert and the gre it-st o-trave that has ever been p r petr.ued «itn deliber. tivn upon the Amtr cm pen le. Foster ir at the p-esent *i*ne t'w n’tornev of s’x Ib'eign eovernn--- tat this capl’ol, and he is also he sttornev of about 150 foreigners who have ci in*, pr 'hink thty have, *g:.b ;t cmr government. lie has b<-< ninti e lobby, mid in wh.it may be called with propriety tie job department, toryeara. The St. Louis Ki public c >rrc-ponden' gives a few points on Foster as follows: His appointment as secretary of state only confirms that Harrison still believes in the theory of govcrment and propriety that caused him to n’a e Wanstnaker and Elkins and now Foster in his cab net. Foster has been the attorney of the Mex lean government here tor years. He is also the attorney of the Chinese govern men*. He is special attorney for the Spanish government. He has a retainer from the Brittish government. He has been identified in the lobby with at least four of the South American republics tor five or six years past. Wheh Mr. Bayard was secretary of state he refused Foster and Trescott permission to eximine papers in the state department on the ground that both were the attorneys of foreign governments and were lobbyists before congress. As soon as Mr. Bayard retired from the state department both Foster and Trescott were appointed to prominent positions in the state department, although neither of their names have been carried on the rolls. They were paid by the secretary of state from what is known as the contingent expense account Neither o their salaries have been legulated by congress, nor have their appointments been approved by the senate or congressional committee. Foster has appeared six times during the present congress before the hous* committee on foreign relations. He has made speeches in favor of Mexican claims against this government; Chinese claims against this government; Peruvian c'aims against this government, and he has also made special pleas in behalf of private claimants. In fact, Mr. Foster has been a lobbyist, pure and simple. . He was so recognized by members of congress, and his connection with the state department, even in an extra-official capacity, was looked upon as a scandal The fact that he has been appointed secretary of state while still the agent, attorney and lobbyists of several foreign •. governments and several foreign individu al claimant* who think they have claims against this government, is looked upon ribthing short of a scandal. He was confirmed promptly by the senate. The Democrats did not vote, bu< were very happy to keep silent and allow the Republicans to vote and assume the responsibility for his prompt admission. If the Democrats had a majority of the senate Foster's appointment would have been impossible, but as the Republicans control the senate, Democrats took gotifish glee in permitting the Republicans to run to the full end of their tether. Foster* appointment brings out two points in the glaring light. One is that Harrison could get no min of the first class to serve as the chief adviser of his cabinet at the present time. Chauncy Depew declined, so did Robert T. Lincoln, so did ex Secretary Evart?, so did Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and there is even a strong suspicion that Ingalls, the Kansas tramp, spurned the presidential suggestion that he should assutncontrol of the state department. The fact is thafnone ot the Republicans o*l the first cla*i felt like going into the cabinet for a few months. They did not have confidence enough in Harrison’chance of re election to believe that their tenure of office would extend b ’yond tue 4th of March if they accepted the appointment in the cabinet. So Harrison was forced to pick up a tramp, so to speak, an 1 pl ce him at the head of his cabinet as secretary of state, but he was unfortunate In selecting his •riend. Under the amiable custom of the senate the president has been awarded the privilege of selecting Ms 0 vn imm-di-ate official family, that is member* of his ' cabinet; therefore, when Harrison selected John W. Foster, formerly of Indiana, as hl* secretary of state, the senate consented thereto without outward protest. But the fact that Foster was immediate ly confirmed does not mean that either the senate, the house of representatives or the

; public'Jiere generally approve of the ap pomtment. As stst- d before, Foster ha* been a 1 bb) Ist and a*claim agent stationed here in Washington for year* past. He l> the attorney of several foreign governments and the attorney of several foreign claimant* sueing this government either through the courts or through congress. Foster's selection for the chief place In the cabinet only confirm* again what has already been demonstrated by the ap polntment of Wanamaker and Elkins to cabinet positions, that the Harrison ad min'stration has been organised for job bery and hopes to be continued through the influence of jobbery. Foster’s ap p >intment to be secretary ot state is the most gross and unblushing that has ye‘ been made by the Harrison administration. The idea of placing the attorney o( sev eral for ign governments and ot numerous foreign claimants having claims or pre tended claims against thh government a’ the heart ot the state department is so shocking that a great many men have only had time to comment upon the aidpcitv and gall of the act without entering into the deeper aspect o' the appointment. Why Chinese Never bave Life. Much haj been writ'en of the p.’cvl ar trie* and eccentricities of the Chinese, hut it is not g- nvrally krow n that the people of the celestial empire will not rescue one another from accidental death. At a fire in S.m Francisco >everal years ago six Chinese were irnp’isontd in a room by th-ee half inch iron bars, which could have been easily broken away There wire two or three ladders in the neighborhood which could have been placed at the windows and the unfortunates easily rescued from a horrible death There were hundreds of their countrymen looking on at their frantic efforts to es cape. Yet they offered no assistance and gave no evidence of sorrow. A man who has saved many lives, in speaking with a Chinese, once said they were very heartless, and cited this San Francisco fire as an example, whereupon this celestial exclaimed: ‘‘l tell you. You sabe Josse? God Almighty, allee satnee, Chinaman call Him Joss; Melican call him God. Cali Him anything. Allee samee. Now you say God Almighty make eb’eting?” “Yes, everything.” ‘•Makee allee men?” “Yes" . “Know ebleting?” “Yes.” “Now, do you think you know more than God Almighty ?” "No, I do not.” “He makee allee men. He see one man. He think him no good. He say: ‘You no use; go die.’ You think you know bette Gol Almighty. You go swim; you let man die- Gol Almighty he say: ‘He velly smart. He catchee man. I tell go die. Velly well, that man he begin new. He cally that man’s life all hirp sins, all him troubles, all tlim bad luck. You hab heap good things?” “No.” “No hab much houses, much money much land?” “No, not much.” “All light, you nebbe hab much luck. How many you save?" "About silty." “Oh, you nebber get out. You cally ally all fifty lite Ebleting you do, no finish, w ork al’ee time heap trouble. You m bbe get old; you live long time. Sabee fifty life. You live heundled years—had bad luck allee time. God Almighty, he sabee best.” important Notice.

Tn CTOSt cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the ivarp threads, and so lacks strength,and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn’t worth one-half as much.
