STATE PORTRAIT PAINTING.
From the Aichison Champion

From the Atchis0n hlmpiJit
The Commonwealth informs us that
Superintendent Ropes intends to a,lorn
the interior Of Representative Hall, in
the new west wing Of the State Capitol
with 'medalliOns Of Kansas men who
have been prominent in the history of
the State, and are now gone to their
final rest" II Mr.. Ropes portraits
are to resemble those in the present
Legislative halls, 1t is an act Of mercy
to select a. subjects only those who
have ''gOne to their final rest" and it
will be fortunate il their ugliness does
not disturb even that final rest
itself. The whole subject of State pOr-
trait painting is replete with danger.
There il, first, the danger that the
tasteful wagon painter may again turn
loose his lurid brush as the insIlter of
the human face divine on the walls of
the Capitol, and, prior 10 this, there is
likely to be hideOus row over the
election of the worthless now "gone to
their rest" whose faces are to I've
placed GU high. The mention of Gen.
Lane will probably bring on the Lane
and anti-Lane fight In all its horrors,
and perhaps bring DIR. George W.
Brown, Of Rockford, Ills, again to the
front, in which event q large number
Of people will remove from the State.
Again, it is not certain that there are
enough dead Kansans of eminence to
fill ali the panels. which would he

accordingly, there will not be panels
enough to 20 half round. The expires
sion, "whO have gone to their rest. !"
might be taken to mean Kansans who
have hurriedly sought rest in other
States and Territories, and have there
BY given this State rest. The por-
traits Ut these would form indeed a
striking and interesting collection. We
think, that, with all these difficulties,

which was never allowed them while

A DECIDED tumble is reported In the
prices of iron of all kinds. The greed
of ore producers and manufacturers
led them from time to time to advance
prices until they stood nearly where
they were in ante panic times, and
the result was what might have been
expected. Production was stimulated
to an extent far in excess of the de-
mand. large numbers of new mines
were opened and furnaces erected and
the high prices made it possible for
foreign metal to be brought here and
sold at profit in spite of cur high
tariff. A collapse was inevitable.

coincidence in time between very re-

visible in the last days Of April and

towns. Last week we directed atten-

OF sun spots. not so remarkable or so
numerous As those of April, and sug-
ge>ted that it would he well to note
whether any remarkable atmosphere
cal disturbances followed. These spots
have not yet disappeared, and yester-
day news came Of the loss of life and
property by cyclones in Illinois. Of
course We do not jump to the cOnclu-
sion that the forces that made these
sun spots caused the cyclones. Hurri-
canes probably often occur when no
sun spot, are visible. But since there
seems to he no doubt that the sun does

meteorological conditions of The earth,
