WASHINGTON, D. G., OCT. H. 1895
THE ILLUSTRATED DAILY.

There are some very intelligent pco-
pie, but their number is continually
growing less, who cannot quite recon
Cile themselves to the illustrated daily
newspaper 1t is an innovation which
they are slow in adjusting to their old.
fashioned ideas, or rather they fail in
readily adapting their old-fashioned
ideas to a new order of things; and so
far as their prejudiccs are based upon
the crude, grotesquc or pointlcss char
acter of the pictures with which we are
sorry to say, too many of our contem-
poraries disfgure their columns, THE
CRITIc fully agrees with them.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the art-for art It certainly is--of
illustrating the current tnews of the day
contemporancously with its occurrence,
of producing rapid portraitures of per-
sons and events, of making the wit of
the press more racy and its satire more
effective by aid of the artists pencil, is
of comparatively recent date, far from
perfection and by no means apprc.
ciated at its true worth.
Hence the frequent poverty of real
istic cleverncss in the newspaper
sketches of the period but this is no
reason for their universal condemna-
ton. Better and better talent is all the
time enlisting in this work. Great inn
provements are constantly going on in
the mechanical processes by which pic
ture making may be made to keep pace
with type setting; and more than this,
most of the leading dailles of the coun.
try are adopting what our unreconciled
friends regard as an innovation. An
innovation ii is, but one that Is finding
wide and sympathetic response on the
part of the general reader. II lends a
graphic charm to the columns of his
paper in the same refreshing sense that
picture brightens the pages of book
of travel; makes welcome the dullest
volume and relieves even the drear
monotony of dictionary.
1t is an art which may be perverted
to absurd uses and irrational conceits,
Dul Ike any Olncr Nrl IL VIII urllI III
the same direction with an enlightened
public taste until in time the newspaper
that lacks its illustrative features will
be as rare as the monthly magazines OF
popular weeklies without them.
So let our old-fashioned friends fal
into line and move with the inevitabl,
procession. Their criticisms and pro
testations are more or less entitled t
respect, but will be of no avail, except
ing to stimulate the production OF {
better class of illustrations, such n
from time TO time adorn the columns o
this paper. 1t is great source of sat
isfaction to feel that in aptness of de
sign and excellence of execution TIL

GALVESTON, April IA large audi.
once gathered about tho city hall this
evening to witness the ceremony of in.
stalling the new mayor and board of

At tho conclusion of the

augural address the clerk read an adj

they determined they had full iurisdic-

Grant has enjoyed refreshing sleep of
eight aud half hours. His pulse is II
and OF fair volume. Temperature nor.
nal. He is inclined to be cheerful and
ohatty, lie has at present no pain in
MS throat, nor has he suffered from any
during the night.
STILL IMPROVING.
. p NAT the consultation at %. m.
Drs. Sands, Shrsdy and Douglass worn
present. DR.. Barker was unavoidably
absent. Gen. Grant was found to DO
IN an improved condition AS compared
with that noted at the last general
consultation. The treatment pursued
was recommended TO he continued.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.
When DR.. Shrady left the generals
mousse alter the consultation to-day, no
SAID, IN answer to question, that the
general condition of the patient was
improved. "How do you account for
this steady.improvement2', was asked.
"The generals bad attacks have
been caused by complications
associated with the usual progress of
the disease. These have been overcome
Tor the present, and of course he is bet
ter. Tho temporary irritation in the
throat has been relieved, aud the result
Is what the bulletins have stated"
And do the bulletins state every
thing?" was asked.
"Tho bulletins deal with tho plain
iacts' and with facts only" responded
Dr. Shrady.
During the consultation this after
noon, the general said to his physician
The doctors outside, am informed,
are writing about my case and talking
about it, and sOmO of them seem M
think they know more about it than
you gentlemen do. But it's like time
OF war, when the men at home think
they know better about 1t and how to do
~ than tho generals, who are on the
field fighting"
Soon after his throat was dressed this
morning the general said, in remarking
upon his improved condition, that he
thought he would ret well.
