Nigh ART AND EVEKYDAY ART


One of our American artists, writing to us
the other day, deprecated vehemently the
present rage for decoration. Art, he said, had
come to be regarded as wholly decorative in
character Embroideries, tides, and Japan
"ese fans are the rivals of pictures" No
doubt he is partly right We are all of us
growing a little bored by this perpetual chat
ter about effects in dining-roOms and the con-
tour of teapots Rugs and pottery and old
androns have no doubt their place to fill in
time and eternity, but really they should not
be allowed to shove literature and human
beings and the moral law quite out of sight.
Yet our correspondent must remember that
they are the fashion just now, and that every
last new song must have its day-be sung in
opera and be whistled by bootblacks and ground
out of barrel-Organs before it sinks finally into
its proper place. The mania for household
decoration certainly comes very appro-
prlately just now to give birth to
new industries among which are much
needed. We are s0rrg to find that our artists,
with few exceptions, throw dead weight of
disapproval against the proposed formation OF
museums and schools of industrial ant in this
country. The school Of South Kensington,

So far the Custom-house does not seemto be the
best school for diplomats. Mr.. Russell, graduated
from the Boston CollectOrship as ful-fedged Min
lister Resident accredited to the Government Of
Venezuela, has succeeded in getting himself into a
diplomatic mess of alarming proportions. He wrote
preposterous letter. which somebody in the State
Department was foolish to print This was
the whole story of his undOng The letter cOOlly de-
cared that there only two ways in which our
Government could secure the payment of the Vene-
zuela claims one was to scare the Venezuelan
Government, and the other was to buy 1T up That
there may be venal officials in high places in South
American republics, just as there have been in re-
pubcs further north, will not be disputed by any
body; but when eX-Collector Russell talks about
bribing all the principal officials" it is to be
hoped, for the good repute of the species, that the
sordid notions of CusOm-hOuse politics have clOuded
his vision. The Venezuelan officials aforesaid have
naturally declined the further honor of ,bis ac-
qnaintance, and he comes home by special tele-
graphic request of the President The affair will
not be without one good effect. 1t makes it less
likely that Simmons will be translated into

Gen. Mcclellan has been rejected by the
Senate after an interesting debate, and the
case has passed beyond the reach of argu-
ment or suggestion. His friends will doubt
less take pleasure in seeing that those Rcpub-
licans who most strenuously opposed his con-
firmat0n bear testimony at the same time of
their belief in his personal integrity, showing
that the recent foolish filings at his private
character have produced no effect. But the
main question now is-aftcr Mr.. Mcclellan,
who? Gov. RObinsOn's responsibility in the
matter is heightened rather than leSSencd by the
action of the Senate. In the open session in
which this nomination has been discussed the
Republican Senators have freely pledged them
selves to vote for Democrat, and their unWil-
ingness to seem to be making factious Oppo-
sition to the Governor will doubtless insure
the confirmation of his second nominee, with
out many questions being asked. The Gov
ernor should make no mistake. The list Of
good names having been diminished by one,
it is all the more necessary that he shall get
the best of those that are left

Tile SOUTHERN COMHLSSLON.

There is no reason why the Democratic
party should be provoked or disappointed at
the announcement of the Presidents purpose
to send commission to Louisiana. They
have been insisting upon the summary ex-
pulsion of Packard by the withdrawal of the
troops but to this scheme the Administration
never has given any sanction, and it could not
have done so without impugning its own title.
The plan of a commission of inquiry is the one
which the President has favored from the first
We referred to it ten days ago as the plan
which seemed the most reasonable and held
out the fairest promise of good results. In all
the discussion of other and more rapid remedies
which has since filled the newspapers and kept
the ante-rooms of the White House III q com
motion Mr.. Hayes has never given a hint to
encourage the extremists on either side or to
show that he had abandoned his deliberate
and cautious policy. If the partisans of Gov.
Nichols have been deceived, they have de-
ceived themselves.
Whatever may be said Of South Carolina
the Louisiana problem is not simple enough
TO be solved off-hand by snap judgment
No doubt the President could make a tenn
porary popularity at the South by Immediately
taking his troops out of the way and permit
ting Nichols to assume the government; but
he has higher duty to perform than merely
to please the white men of the South, and the
only way in which he can win lasting pOpu-
larity is by the careful and exact discharge OF
his obligations to the whole country. The
Louisiana question has hung before Congress

Mr.. Blunt comes to the defense of "his
"boys," the pilots, and pays tribute to their
general capacity and faithfuness which we
know to be well deserved. But with regard
to the cases of the AmGriQue and Rusand he
says nothing to shake our conviction that
there ought to be an investigation, and that
if the captains of the wrecked vessels will not
make formal complaints the Pilot Commits
sioners themselves ought to appear as COM
plainants Certainly if the report of the pilot
of the Amfrique is strictly correct he at least
ought to be relieved of all responsibility for
the damage to the French steamship; but the
facts should be established by an official in
quiry; we cannot rest satisfied with the pi-
lots own reports. 1t is just possible that Mr..
Blunt may be Il little too fond of his boys"

There ought to be no failure of justice In
the case before Judge Morgan of the gamblers
at No. Barclay-st. 1t is probably the big
gest and wickedcst den left open in this city.
We have repeatedly called attention to 1t, and
it was the publication of a letter in yesterdays
TRIBUNE, describing the place and naming the
principal gamblers, which led to their arrest
within few hours after its issue. One OF the
victims of these men now gives the courts
and the authorities an opportunity to relieve
themselves of the charge that they cannot
convict influential gamblers i'll this city, ana
they ought to avail themselves of it promptly.

Legislation in the Assembly on life insurance
matters is taking the form of mere hostility
to the companies. The new amendment TO
the committee bill, cutting off the privilege OF
making loans on property out OF this state
but near this city, may have an effect that Is
not foreseen by the wiseacres at Albany. IL
the life insurance companies or this state
cannot lend money on good property wlthih
so miles of this city, people residing in New
Jersey and Connecticut who want insurance
will transfer their patronage to companies that
are not bounded by such a Chinese Wall. The
amendment ought to state somewhere that Its
object is to benefit concerns i'll Newark and
Hartford.

When the President is under accusation by
partsans of both extremes, one side charging
him with too great haste and the other with
too great hesitancy, the clear and careful
statement in our Washington correspondence
Of just what the Presidents policy Is to
be, is of great interest. 1t is seen from
this authoritative statement that the de-
lay with which the Louisiana Conservatives
are so impatient is not delay of which they
have any right to complain, and that whatever
may he the findings of the Commission the
new Southern policy is to be wholly civil and
not military, nor half military and half civil.
The representative men of the South have had
every reason thus far to put full faith i'll Presl-
dent Hayes's promises, and they ought to show
little discretion about waiting for the best
time TO fulfill them. No man ought to be asked
to pay his notes before they are due.

Dear in the news dispatches, and everything

against the Ottoman Power. The insurgents
allies, the MOntenegrns, have received
the substantial sympathy of "a years

lists are making slow work with the protocol.
Lord Derby was 10 doubt anxious to make a
favorable report to the Peers last night, but
he could do nothing more than advise the
Earl Dudley to be less impatient for informa
ton and little more confiding in the Musc0-

in the British Cabinet that il has resolved to
retain Sir Henry Elliot at home, and OF course
send better representative to STEAMBOAT.

This proposal to invite Messrs. Chamberlain
and Hampton to Washington to talk the mat
ter over will strike the latter favorably as
he offered to come before he knew that he
would be asked. But Gov. Chamberlain may
look at it differently. If he once goes out OF
his Office in Columbia, the chances of his ever
getting back will be somewhat slender.

Fira.

About half past ten Tuesday evening a
FIRE was discovered in house owned by
Fred Shattuck on Elm street. When dis
covered the fire was confined to the bed
room over the kitchen, and water was
thrown on in pals till the fire companies
reached. the scene and extinguished the
flames. The damage is slight, mostly by
water. Moses Gordon had moved out of
the lower part of the house the day pre-
vious taking his furniture but leaving some
furniture belonging to shattuck up stairs.
among this was one straw mattress in the
room where the fire was discovered. b.
j. johnson who discovered the fire said
that the straw from this mattress was
emptied 10 a pile on the floor, some picture
frames thrown on top of this and the fire
was in the heap when found. The. H. H..
Baker hose company were the first on the
ground and had the first stream on. The
Cramton hose also threw stream on the
fire, and Nckwackett engine was out. The
fremen complain that the hydrant on Elm
street was full and frozen up and there was
no hydrant wrench TO be found. T. Peck
was to have moved into the damaged house
to-day.

Death Of LYcurgus Sherman, Esq.

We have just learned of the death of Ly-
curgus Sherman, Esq, formerly of Castle
don, who died at Chetopa, Kansas, March
18th. The deceased was born at Barre,
Washington county, Vermont, April 9th,
1909. lie learned the trade of a stone and
brick mason in early life, and pursued this
occupation for many years. He subse-
quently became a contractor and builder,
and went TO the southern states, where he
engaged in that business for several years.
He erected many buildings in New Orleans.
He subsequently returned to Vermont and
settled at Castleton, and we believe was for
several years connected with his brother in
the marble BUSINESS.
He removed to La Porte, Indiana, in
1916, where he engaged in the marble bust
ness for leveral years. His lungs being Sc
riously affected by three attacks Of pneu-
monia, he concluded to try milder eli
mate, and in 1870 went to southern Kan
sas, where he has since resided. A La
Porte paper says the change of atmosphere
seemed to relieve his pneumonia troubles,
but his disease located in other parts of his
body and he died at last of catarrh of
bowels, being a great sufferer for the last
months of his life.
He was brother of the late Smith Sher-
man, ESQ.,, of Castleton and Olcott Sher-
man, esq, of Poultuey the latter is the
last living male representative of large
family. Mr. Sherman was twice married.
His last wife who survives him was o
Miss Maria NJ. A. Williams, to whom he
was married August 9th, 1S49. lie leaves
no chldren-only gtsnd-child.
His remains were brought to La Porte
for interment, where the funeral took
place on Wednesday March 2lst, from the
Presbyterian church. After brief relig-
ious service by the Rev. DIR. Kendall, the
sir knight took charge of the ceremonies of
burial in accordance with the ritual of the
Knight Templars, the deceased being an
honored member of La Porte commandery.
The burial was made in Pine Lake Gem
