OVERSTEPS THE BOUNDS.
Ambassador Herrick at Paris,
of course, would naturally wish
to say something complimentary
to the people among whom he
is stationed, but it would not
seem necessary for a representa
tive of this country to say tilings |
derogatory to his own country!
in tickling the people of anolh-l
er nation, as Ambassador Her- j
rick is said to have done, accord- ]
ing to the press dispatches.
It would Ik- all right for Hie
ambassador lo compliment the
French people upon their poise
and the crderly manner in 'd'idi
they select a president. r-en
though he has to shut h.' eyes
to the fact that one distinguish
ed statesman called anoiimr ,t
“miserable liar” and late"
ed such an insult, to Hie man \»lm
was premier of the republic and
afterward became the caoicof
-the national assembly I'm- the
presidency, as to call out a chal
lenge to combat, but it was ::->t
necessary for him to proceed to
-the limit, of insulting the Amer
ican people by making com iari
sons which were not at all applic
able to the conditions.
It is true that there are usual
ly stormy, not to say tumuroms
times in American political con
ventions, but, it must be renvoi
ltered that American political
conventions do not, elect presi
dents, but on the contrary they
simply decide contests between
factions of some particular par
ty
In France the election is by the
national assembly, or in other
words, by a joint meting of the
senate and I lie house. II is not j
natural to suppose that tumult
or disorder or factional fights
would take place at such a Hid
ing.
Mr. Herrick m Ins comparison
.between a deliberative body and
an unofficial convention of parti
sans, is decidedly unfair as well
as insulting lo the congress of
the United .states. Possibly the
French people do not know thal
congress does not elect our pres
idents. and possibly (hey are not
aware of the fact that a conven
tion selecting a candidate, tumul
tous as il might be, is precisely
the same as a party caucus in
France except that we have few
instances on record where dele
gates to an American political
convention have called each oth
er “miserable liars.”
The fact that in his anxiety to
say something' to please people
who have no idea of how we do
things in America he was willing
to insult the congress of the Uni
ted States and the people of
America by making comparisons
which are so malapropos as to
virtually amount to falsehood and
slander, would seem to indicate
that Mr. Herrick has outlived his
usefulness as a diplomat and that
he should he speedily recalled
from Paris.
