MACKAY ON Art.


John Discusses Meissonfer and Ca.
bOnel, and Rates Their Art.
A dispatch from New York, Of January
%, says: "a cable dispatch says Mrs. Mao.
kay has refused to pay for a portrait paint.
ed for her by MISSIONER, who is suing her
for $4,000 francs" When Macksy was last
on the Comstock he spoke about this por-
trait. He said that while it might be Of
some value as q picture. 1t was not Of the
slightest value as q portrait. While friends
might have been able to see something Of
Mrs. Mackay in the first sketch, thereafter
less and less Of her was seen, and finally
sll likeness was so painted out that the
only fit label for 1t would have been, Por-
trait Of q Lady, by Meissonier. Mr.. Mac
kay himself advised his wife not to take
the picture as a portrait Of herself. Mr..
Mackay feels we'll towards M~eissonier, and
has paid high prices for some of his work,
but says he can not paint Q portrait OF any
one, and least Of sill of q woman. He says
Cabonel is the best painter Of the portraits
OF women now in Paris. He is also q good
painter OF the portraits of men, and paint.
ed q very fine one of MI. Msckay. It is q
pretty sure thing that Mrs. Mackay, or
rather Mr.. Mackay, will come out winner
in the present suit, as the picture must be
q very bad one, for, as we have said, Mr..
Mackay ia an admirer Of M~eissonier, and
has always felt we'll towards him, there
fore, if he could decently accept Of the pic
ture as q portrait he would take it. No
doubt Meissoniers made q good picture of
Q woman, and was himself well pleased
with it, as he placed it on exhibition in the
best salon. but he rambled from his SUBJ
ject, and Mr.. Mackay is just hsrd-headed
enough not to stand that sort of thing from
M~eissonier, or any mi else in q thing Of
that kind. OF course in his genre pictures
Meissonier is at liberty to choose his mod
els, and paint them in and paint them out
a dozen times, but in portraisure it is diff
ferent. No doubt there are to-day in Paris
plenty of third or fourth-rate painters who
would have been glad to have painted the
picture for one-fourth the price. and who
would have painted what every one would
have pronounced q good likeness.

A Sermon ON Girls by the Carson
Tribune.

A Sermon ON Girls BY the Carson
Tribune.
There 10 a certain class OF parents here
who are criminally careless regarding the
moral welfare Of their young daughters.
Fortunately, there are not many Of them.
but there are enough. A number Of girls,
of ages ranging from 10 to 16 years, are
developing hoodlumistic characteristics
that should be promptly checked by their
natural guardians. The associates OF these
girls are males much their seniors, adj
dicted to every immsginable vice. The
Tribune could mention the names Of
almost a dozen Of this female trundle-bed
trash who are sure to come to an early and
shameful end unless they are withdrawn
from their present associates, and weaned
from their imprudent ~inclinations. Free
qnently they can be seen meeting, perhaps
by appointment, confirmed opium fiends,
AND other characters of Q similar stripe,
devoid OF every moral principle, while
their negleotful parents believe them to be
visiting q schoolmate or other recognized
companion. Only on Monday night, as
late as 10 O'Clock, a girl less than 16 years
Of age was seen coming down King street
in the company Of q msn who is never
saluted by any one having the least respect
for himself. The girl said to him, "You
must tell, If mother asks, that l spent the
evening with her." Parents cannot be too
careful. and If they will persist in being
blind they must accept the horrible conse-
quences, which are certain to prematurely
whiten their hair, and age them with grief.

European Capital fol the CemstOck.
John W. Mackay. the prince Of the
Bonanza firm, says the Carson Tribune,
has confidence in deep mining Of the
Comstock. and during his visit across
the Atlantic he will try to enlist capital
as venturesome as his own to practically
prove the correctness of his theory. The
general superstition, for some time, has
been that Mackay had abandoned all
hopes Of finding anything on the king
lode of the State, but that supposition is
entirely unfounded. He means to enlist
European money as well as part of his
wi to sink or the lode as deep as
human nature can stand it, with a view
to demonstrate that he is in earnest. and
resurrect the generous period of Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Mackay occupies a very high
position in the esteem of European capi-
~talists, and therefore there Is no reason
to doubt that he will be able to induce
sufficient capital to make the experiment.

THE Republican State Editorial Association
will meet in this city tomorrow in the room
of the United States District Court, postotfice
building. The meeting is called for 10 o'clock
A. NJ, and it is to be hoped there will be a
full and representative attendance from all
quarters of the State. The business before the
meeting will be the election of officers, and
the discussion of matters incidental to the
national campaign upon which the country is
about to enter. 1t is of the greatest i1npor-
lance that the editors of the State should meet
compare notes and views and agree upon a
harmonious and aggressive plan of action re-
speeding the vital questions which will be be-
fore the people for decision, These meet
ings can but result in good for the party and
for the Republican press. Let every editor
arrange to be present.

THE New Albany Public Press refuses to be
comfOrted and thinks that city has been badly
injured by the reports that it suffered because
of the recent food. In a long editorial article
it says:
eff therewas a single case of distress under
the circumstances in the city during the re
cent food, surely it was not made known to
the authorities"
Against such an absurd statement we again
place the dispatch of the local relief commit
tee, sent out to the country, and signed by
W. C. DePauw, the mayor, Jesse J. Brown
and Mr. Peters
''rhe distress here from the flood is wide
spread, the destruction of property vast, and
the wants of our poor people far beyond our
city and county aid and local contributions.
Any money given to our people will be thank
fully received and conscientiously distrib-
uted.'
This dispatch is sufficient answer to all
the ''rot' the Press is publishing. The bad
temper it is displaying toward those papers
which printed the news, and toward those
people who aided the city in its need, injuries
no one but itself.

THE Chicago hog is coming to the front a
trife sooner than is necessary if the Geographic
reports from that political center and site of
national conventions can be credited. 1t is
reported that in two of the leading hotels ''the
cards containing the rates and instructions to
guests were removed from the inside of the
room doors this week and new cards substi-
tuted, which quoted a rate of board fifty cents
per day higher than former prices, and with
no reduction whatever where two persons oc-
cupy the room" The dispatch adds that Gin
quiry resulted in discovering that about all
the hotels had adopted the same plan, and
henceforth when So rooms are asked for at the
swell hotels they cannot be found, but plenty
at $3.50 per day and upwards may
be obtained" If the hotel rate
is to be raised because of the
expected presence of the great party conven-
tions-and that is stated by the telegram to be
the reason for this increase in price-no one
will be injured so much as Chicago If the
rates are increased now there is no guessing
the altitude they will attain by June, and to
the transient guests. During the Masonic tri-

and ought to be sufficiently prudent, to put
the foot down with whereas upon all this
kind of business at the very start.

way to keep the balance Of trade from turning
still more strongly against us and that by
compelling our mills and factories, our oper
ators and operatives to underbid any and all
with whom we would be brought into COMPETE
ton. In other words, right here in the United
States we must make and sell everything
cheaper than they can be made in
any country in the world. America
presents immense possibilities in the way of
farming but we cannot all be farmers and
continue prosperous, Already we have sur
plus to deal with and any marked addition to
the farming population would only increase
the trouble. If we wish to keep our paper
money at par we must keep our credit good.
To do that we must keep out of debt and to
assure that we must not buy more than we
sell abroad. In other words America should,
as far as possible, produce what it needs. So
long as we sell more than we buy we grow
weather. But if we insist that we must
adopt free trade. so as to be able to buy still
more from other countries, the evil is only in
creased, and there is no corresponding COM
pensation

PORTER County N1dctte.
The indianapolis Journal now is publishing a
series of editorials exposing the exorbitance of
office pay in wealthy counties, with view to
more successfully demand adjustment Of official
pay to service on an equitable basis. The ex-
posure seems to have produced some squirmug
on the part of the recipients of such enormous
pay. and thus calls forth from the Journal ex-
PLANTATION of its reasons for the revelation. In
the course of these remarks, it says: The

its power and disposition to give the people eff

do this it fails in its highest and best purpose

There is no occasion for alarm over such an
announcement. At the worst, we have sim
ply been buying more than we have been sell
ing and the balance against us must be set
tied in gold. Free traders may argue that we
would have sold more had this country been

event we would have been compelled to com
