• raw DORSET COUNTY MUSEUM

BUILDING IPUND.

' Whither the County Museum, at present in course
4 erection, is to fcrus • feature of the town and
solat7. so far as architectural beauty is mamma& or

-bithir ll Is to retain that milearably dowdy frontage
v., • *bilk the building at premed boasts, is a qoestion
gall in abeyance. We feel Dare Doreetahlre men
. weahi have • feeling a little akin to shame were they,
I. the days to come, to have to point to the hideous
building adjoining St. Peter's Church as their County
tiLusenna. We are informed nearly £4OO has already
bees premised in answer to the recent appeal, leaving
about £l,lOO more to be obtained, and tile hoped that
the interest taken In this sestentially county under-
taking. will be stimulated by the moors of the appeal,
sad that the remainder of the funds will be soon forth.
coming to suable the committee to carry out the
building 1111 originally designed and approved. We
repast it will be a vast pity if the committee are com-
pelled to fall back on the lesser plea, which literally
means, that the old frontage will be adapted to the
buildings at the back, which are entirely new
but will not be seen, instead of their being enabled to
erect • handsome facade, which will be worthy of the
museum of the county, and but another instance of
the liberality of Dorset men.

The Fair Triage:are shows some signs of abatement.
Liberalism is beginning to feel satisfied that its faith
Is not in danger. The Conservative leaders begin to
show signs of disapprobation. The chief Coneerva-
tire newspapers repudiate the Fair Trade doctrine,
and the reel Traded' Union Cannes men bave
dammed as hnpostors those who favoured reciprocity
professedly in the name of Trades Unionism. The
reactionary movement has not, however, been without
its good dens. It has undeniably awakened the
Fres& to the desirebility of coodading a new treaty.
Thu friends of Fair Trade should have dacriminatod.
If they had confined their case to the taxation of
Imported luxuries, or even to tho taxatien of foreign
manufatnnrod articles, they might have done well.
The propenal to tax corn has clestroyed their champs of
eacceritil agitation.

In spite of the proterte of • few noisy Conservatives,
Mr. Gladstone's bust will adorn the Guildhall, and, In
doing honour to him, the Corporation will be doing a
peater honour to itself. He will no doubt esteem ths
hecident all the more because the City and the City
Council are, in the great majority, opposed to him in
politics. The Lord Mayor indignantly repudiated the
Wu broached by • common councillor—a very
common councillor, one would think—that it wrs
intended to propitiate the Premier In view of the
impending and inevitable reform of city institutions.
It Is an odd suggestion that the "mammon of
righteoususes" " should "melt. friends" with Mr.
In order to secure itself ftalturt diasolution.
But, even It such • foolish idea oonM be entertained,
Mr. Gladstone Is not the man to be bought by a bust.
In future yews sr-Bahmongers and spectacle-makers
will gaze with watery eyes upon the marl* and feel
it to be • memorial of the "bust-up" at their own
nibs ocespaniss and gluttonous
DOZCHRIITZIi.
