Many OF our native artists have returned
to their studios, after their summers work,
with their portfolios full of studies and
sketches for use in the pictures which
they will paint during the now opening
season. The dealers in foreign pictures
are also displaying the rich spoils Of
their summers trips to European studios
and salesrooms. In view of these con-
temporaneous events it will be we'll to say
few words about the scanty patron
age which home productions receive
in comparison with the bounteous
welcome which is accorded to foreign
works. We do not object to picture buyers
spending their money in pictures by for
eigners of genius and talent, for by this
they. in an indirect way, do good to our
country's art, but we do object, and most
emphatically, to their eagerly buying.
simply because they are foreign, the
works of mediocrities or worse. Buy Rous-
seaus, Diazs, Corots, Dupr6s, Daubignys,
Troyons, Van Marches, Fortunys, Madrazos,
Knaus, Br6tons, Lefebvres, Bouguereaus,
Ger6mes, Meissoniers, Detailles and
De Neuvilles if you WILL but, in
stead of spending your remaining
cash on slovenly examples of men of name,
which often find their way here, and on
the works of O host of French and German
nonentities, enrich your collections with
good examples Of our best American
artists. Their pictures are commencing
to find a European market, and in
time will become an article of export if the
best artists, rs some few of their number
have already done, do not export them
selves as well as their works and paint for
public which buys pictures on their merits
and not because tn cir signatures are for
eign ones.
1t is q somewhat curious fact, not to be
accounted as regeneration of individual
taste, that as the art culture of the country
increases and tho collectors in this and
other seaboard cities become moro
numerous, the new ones as we'll
az the old, who formerly bought
American pictures now buy almost exclu-
sively foreign ones. American painters
now have to look to the Western cities and
the interior for purchasers, and even
thon many Of our best ones have
to rely upon teaching and book
and magazine illustration to support
themselves. There are artists to-day in

cratic boilers for Governor. 1t is not
fair to taxpayers or bondholders to
garble statements of the city debt

done to invent or magnify claims to public

always has regarded Mr.. Kelly as an honest
cursory examination of the figures which
Mr.. John McKeon and Mr.. William II. Nor
rell have marshalled against him we
do not see sufficient cause to reverse that
estimate of him. The very worst imputa-
ton which they seem to justify is merely
that of arrogating to himself the credit for
a diminution of the city debt which
is really due in chief to the quasi
mechanical processes of the sinking
funds, to the reduction of the State tax
and to other causes which would have ope-
rated just the same whoever had been
Comptroller. When he returns from the
stumping tour on which he is pranc-
ing somewhere in the western part
of the State it is possible that he may be
able to explain away even this discrepancy.

Is prayer reasonable? Mr. Hatfield asks.
Before we could answer we should want to
know who prayed and what he prayed for
A great many prayers are not only unreal
sonable but wicked. Some are silly and
others blasphemous, and we should not
care to have the dispensing of gifts accord
ing to the asking of hundreds whom wo
have heard pray, both in the charch and
outside. Mr.. Blake's subject-"Succes in
Life"-will depend very largely upon Mr.
Dumbles-"Doing the Will of God"-if
the highest style of success be de-
sired. And this will include, of course,
DIR. Pullmans revival of worship, and Mr..
McKelvey's growth in grace. What the
supreme desire of Jesus was and is we con-
ceive can be more readily defined than
what the supreme need of mankind is.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hull has pledged himself
to discuss both. The unity of believers ON
Garth and in heaven will be maintained by
Mr.. Davis. the supremacy of law by DIR.
Newman, and the Immortality of good
works by Mr.. Lloyd. There is also m
Immortality of evil deeds, even though,

will review the uses to which Sunday Is
put; Mr.. Kerr will encourage zeal, Mr..
Martyr plainness of speech, and Mr.. Will
son will try to harmonize Spiritualism with
Church croeds--a rather heavy contract,
we fear. Mr. Cross will present some pc
culiarities in the life OF Joseph, and MIR.
Knapp will call up Samuel the seer to his

DR.. Bessel. an Arctic explorer Of excel
lent repute, has made some studies of the
ice limit in the Arctic seas, with especial
reference to the chances of open water above
Behring Strait that are of interest in con-
nection with the voyage of the steamer
Jeanette. From his facts he appears to
derive an argument as to the Arctic seas
that is especially comprehensive on the
theory Of an ice barrier. If we conceive
of the pack as a barrier that forms early
and heads off navigation ut q comparatively
low latitude we should have the conditions
Of an unfavorable season. If we conceive
of it as o barrier that forms late and per-
mits an expeditions navigator to get beyond
it and to have open water for great
ally form, we have good year.
To illustrate this with familiar local
tiles we may say that the Hudson River
in years of ordinary severity is frozen down
to Newburg. but in a season in which you
can sail as far up as Hudson at its worst
the year. There is no doubt whatever that
DIR. Bessel is accurate in the statement of
his facts and just as little doubt, we pre-
sumo, that the variation in the condi-
tions in different years is due to vari-
atoms in the force and temperature
of the great Japanese current. All the OBJ
served conditions of the present year seem
to indicate that the ice line is likely to be
high one, and that the American ex-
petition, if it gets beyond that line in good
season, will have grand opportunity. All
turns, therefore, on its rapid progress at an
early date. This consideration leads to tho
regret expressed by the Doctor ''that the
Secretary of the Navy did not, as
was expected, send transport to
carry tho stores of the Jeanette, which
latter is SO deeply loaded that it impedes
her speed" 1t was certainly less than lib
eral on tho part of the navy to refuse that
assistance, and this illiberality will come
more prominently forward if it turns out
that the loss of time which resulted from
depending upon the Secretary is vital
in the result. Nearly a months time was
lost by the fact that an assistance was at
last denied which had been extended to
every previous effort to solve Arctic prob
lens. The Jeanette perhaps could not
have used in her advance all the time thus
lost, but it would have been we'll if she had
been in Arctic waters earlier than she was,
there to utilize all the chances of good
year.
