done great deal to break and demorsl-
ize it. and possibly they think little Of
the dogs hair may proftably be applied
to the bite. But more professional
diagnosis of the case would conclude
that the Republican party is far pas. the
healing of such nursery treatment.
1T is shame to use the national cap
tol for the tawdry purposes of hospital
fair, even though the proposed institu-
tion is pretended to be memorial to Gar
field. The enterprise has been sickly
and illy-supported one from the beginning,
and lacks popular and local confidence
because it has had cheap and specula-
tive air about it. Presumption and bad
taste reached their climax, however,
when the rotunda and galleries of the
capitol were secured to erect booths and
open bazaar. Possibly some mawkish
sentimentality and fear Of being misun-
derstood prevented those in custody of
this magnificent pile from refusing its use
for these petty purposes; maybe only a
lack of proper sense of the fitness OF
things impelled their consent. In either
case they are not fit to have the care OF
it. Under that magnificent dome the
sale of gimcracks should not be allowed.
To grant a dispensation for the yelling
of the historical pictures in the rotunda
and to box up the statues in statuary
hall so as to afford a better chance fOl
the display of red afghans decorated will
yellow worsted horses and dogs is afro
cious. It makes the fair ridiculous
while it desecrates the capitol.
