The nomination of Andrew D. White, of New York, as Minister to Russia to succeed Charles Emory Smith is a choice that will satisfy the people of the United States and, we do not doubt, the Government of Russia. Mr. White has had previous diplomatic experience, and has been an interested observer of the politics of the country rather than a politician. The literary profession moults no feather because of his election. President Harrison continues to show a remarkable predilection for literary diplomats, and thus far his judgment has certainly been justified by successful performance.
