The Coming Art Exhibition.

Art makes life cheerful-cheering and comfort
ing is art in all its shapes. Early in November
we are to have an art exhibition, composed of the
best works to be had in Europe aud America
the first of its kind that has ever been held in
Indianapolis, and one of the most delightful that
has ever been seen anywhere. The pleasure of
seeing truly great pictures and sculptures
lie one compared with which all other
pleasures poor and tame. The
exhibit will take place in some central building,
and down stairs, where it will be perfectly &C.
cessible. Admission, 25 cents; catalogues, is
cents. 1t is to be given by the Indianapolis Art
Association, whose next meeting occurs in the
parlors of the Denson, at P. NJ. on the first
Tuesday in October Every one interested in
art is invited to Join the association then and
there, the yearly membership fee being 80, and
each member having free entrance to all art ex-
hihitions given by tho association. The exhibit
will be open day and evenings, and will continue
three weeks.
The hush and silence of an art gallery, the
beautifully hung walls, the glowing pictures, the
easy Seats the pleasant company, the murmur-
ing talk, all combined make a most charming re-
sort 1t will be kind of autumn festival, at
tracing to this city the people of the neighbor-
ing towns and villages, who are, as W. d. How
ellis says, the best and most cultivated of THE
republic. and have sharp appreciation of art.
The exhibit will show specimens of Italian,
Spanish. Russian and Dutch art English
water-colors, with their pure tints, gray-blue
skies and green fields, will be seen. There will
be English landscapes in oils, showing the never
ending vistas of the ancient and outrageous
counties of England that were cultivated by
the Romans for FIVE hundred years before the
tme OF the Saxons. There will be fine domestic
and historic scenes from Dusseldorf. There
will be works of modern French art, which
semble the antique, in that they represent
everything in a perfectly natural, unstudied
manner. There will be pictures of sumptuous
interiors and Louis XIV costumes; there will be
faces, heads, figures illustrating poetry and ro-
nance: there will he bronzes and marbles-in
short all that's required in magnificent art
exhibit.
To be a success an art show has to be genuine.
The people like real art. Works that don't need
to be explained by long lecture; works that
don't call out make-believe EXPLANATIONS of rap
ture, will draw the people. Originality has

thoroughly good Will be appreciated. Every

day folks, who are no judges of art and don't
want to be, and know nothing Of the technique
of art and don't want to know, quickly see the
unapfproachable charm of perfect art. Mechan-
les and artisans, whose eyes are trained, have
keen sensIbilities to beauty, and they are the
ones who are ''absorbed in the calm passion of
art" whenever the chance is offered. The
broad style" of smeared and splashed art may
not charm them, but minuteness OF finish, which
is the bloom and perfection OF art, and grand
composition, they understand. Taste for grand
art is rooted in the minds of the people, and
they may be expected TO taEe hold of the com.
ing exhibit With sharp appetite.

A Mnch-Needed Crusade.

Mr.. L. Lum Smith, of Philadelphia has en-
tered upon a crusade against what he regards "a
one of the most gigantic evils OF the times. Mr.
Smith, who is himself publisher anu editor,
proposes to drive his lance against certain news
papers which claim circulations they do not pos
sess with the intent to thereby defraud the con-
fiding and virtuous advertiser. Mr.. Smith
thinks the noble profession of journalism is be-
coming tainted and corrupt, through the auda-
cious lying and criminal dishonesty of sconn-
dreis who go about getting lads" by falsely
representing that their papers have immense
cIrculations, when really whole editions can be
carried in market basket or wheelbarrow
Mr. Smith is perhaps little mistaken i'll believ
ing that reproach is being brought upon journal
ISIS by this base and all too common practice.
The sins OF the bold. bad advertising man
should not be laid upon editors who are, with
the exception of those in Cincinnati, not only
TRUTHFUL but incapable OF such vile articles
Mr.. Smith is right however, in principle, and
his efforts to clear the skirts OF
what he terms the Great Press from the
very uspicion of evil are truly eommendable.
The crusader began his work this week at Phila-
delphia by exposing, from the lecture platform,
this shameful and criminal practice to the
world. He has begun the war III earnest, Tor Inc
benefit of suffering thousands he assures us IN Il
confidential circular, and will not cease to 90
battle in the cause of right and justice till he OBJ
tains victory or ceases to exist He Is con-
sciOus of his physical weakness, and it is only
the moral str ength of his cause which enables
him to battle for Storm against power which
most men fear. THAT the advertising solicitor
is al object of terror almost any one will admit)
Some one, he acknowledges, bravely and pa
theticaly, must be sacrificed before good cause
is triumphant, and though he does not say 1t,
no one can doubt that L. Lum. Smith would die,
if necessary, to cure advertising men of lying.
The noble ref0rmer appeals to honest and up
right editors and publishers for words of encour-
agement. If they will assist him with their
mighty Journals he believes a victory over
fraud and crime will be assured which will
rebound TO the honor and glory
OF all concerned in the cause of
right and justice. Mr.. Smith kindly offered a
complimentary ticket to his lecture, if the same
be applied for office stationery, but owing to
the late hour at which this invitation was re-
ceived none of the honest and upright editors
or proprietors of this paper coud be present on
the occasion. We cannot, however, listen with

''ROmanee and Tragedy of Pioneer Life"
To Augustus l.. Mason, junior member of the
law firm of Mcdonald, Butler & Mason, of this
city, must be awarded the credit of having con-
tributed to American literature one of the best,
if not unquestionably the BEST connected ac-
counts Of Indian campaigns from earliest days
to the present time. The volume, bearing the
title aoOve given, just issued by Jones Brothers
& Co., Cincinnati, is a compliment to the au-
thors genius being we'll mounted in every
feature. It is a handsome quaruo of 1892
pages, richly illustrated and beautifully printed.
To those acquainted with the authors peculiar
qualifications for such an undertaking his
gratifying success will be surprise. From
the rich resources of romantic and tragic events
of our various Indian campaigns he has
wrought out fascinating book.
But while interesting in every page,
it possesses that better recommends
tion of being true to history. Mr..
Mason has had access to the best records that
the country affords, aud every considerable IL
brary from Boston to San Antonio has been lev
led upon to secure desired data. The style of the
book is engaging, and the reader will not he able
to find dull page in it. While it is volume
formidable in size, the author has not written
against space anywhere, and the result of his
labors will meet hearty reception from all who
care to know the history of the picturesque ma
tive of America, aud who want that history in
form as engaging is the romance that sur
rounds the aDorigne of early days. AS hook
for the edification of the youth of the land 1t is
unsuIp passed. 1t presents historical events in
such manner to compel attention. Older
persons will find satisfaction in reading its pages
as a means of gaining better and more reliable
knowledge of what has long been familiar to
them written history and unwritten tradition.

THE HEAETERY

To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
Years ago the people of Morristown,
or part Of them, purchased ground for
q Cemtery. Perhaps the location was
unf srtunate; possibly the price promis-
ed was exherbitant and unreasonable
no doubt it was; perhaps it has not
yet been paid for. But the ground was
occupied as q burying ground and en-
closed, aud in the years that have pass
ed large number Of our fathers, moth
ers, wives and children, friends and
relatives, have been inferred in that
lot. 1t Is The only burying ground ac-
cessible to the citizens OF Morristewn.
Is 1t to be abandoned? Is 1t to be Civ
en- up to the undisputed sway of briars,
bushes and Sedge grass? To see It now
such must be the conclnsion. Is there
among the people Of Herristown, and
particularly those who haYe friends
and relatives inferred there, NO respect
for the memory Of the departedH Can
Il be possible that our people are will
ing to let the ground, and the graves of
loved ones inferred there. remain In
the disgraceful condition in which they
are nowf We pause for n reply. With
q small expenditure the grounds could
certainly be cleaned Of briars. bushes
and sedge grass. viii even this much
