The New York MdiI, on cart at the Capitol"
saws "the government is presented with either
Of two horn of an old fash ioned dilemma in its
policy concerning the national capital. IL no.
thing is done to beautify Washington there is a
general grumble that the capital OF a great
country ought to be, in its public buildings and
appointments, such a city as a great country
may be proud of if any move is made in this
direction, there il sharper criticism that the
country cannot afford to waste money IN that
fashion,"
a this connection the Nal saws
Certainly most of us would take just pride
in seeing our national capital one Of the most
beautiful! of cities, with no false pomp of royal
ma gnihcence, but with handsome public edi
fices, tine parks. beautiful residences, and, not
least. clean streets. Meanwhile, public enter
prise and liberality is happily coming to the
rescue. as il should always in a country in
whicb-to put il Acknowledgment man is to
he his own father, and the unpaternal govern
meDt is expected to mind its own business. The
vexed question a. to whether such a govern
ment ours should rigidly provide galleries of
art and the higher education for the people IL
best settled, practically, by private citizens
coming forward with democratic liberality TO
take the question out of the hands of the gov
e; Bment. The OPENING of the gallery of fine
arts which Washington's most puhlic-spirited
citizen, Mr.. CorcOran, has made n free gift to
the capital, and thus to the country, Is a nota-
bic and laudable instance of Just this, and
marks a red-letter day in the history of the
national capital"
