The Argus takes Governor Robbie to task
tor mentioning in his address to the legis-
lature, the candidacy of Mr.. Blaine IN the
late campaign, for President. To others
it seems most reasonable and proper
thing for the Governor of the State to
make honorable mention of man of this
State so distinguished as to be selected
by the national convention to be the can
didate of the republican party for Presi-
dent, and who was supported with zeal
and enthusiasm never equaled by that for
any other candidate for the same office.
The message would have been incomplete
without such mention. The fact that it
has aroused the Argus to bitter attack
upon Mr.. Blaine. though he is now pri-
vate citizen. is the best evidence that
Governor ROBBIE made no mistake in his
allusion to Mr.. Blaine and his candidacy.

JOHN RUsKIN.

John Ruskin has been seriously i'll. At
one time it was thought he was on the
brink of the grave. He has rallied, how
ever, and as he is not a very old man, let
us hope that his useful life will be spared
80 the world yet these many years His
illness and the imminence Of the danger of
losing him draws attention anew to this
remarkable philanthropist and scholar.
Of the great lights Of modern English
literature he is enc of the most brilliant.
Not alone for brilliancy has he been con-
spicuous, but for the comprehensiveness of
his sympathy for mankind, for in the
truest, broadcast and profoundest sense
Ruskin is teacher Of men. So very diff
ferent from all other literary men in his
style, aim and ambition, he is, neverthe-
less, an indispensable link in a chain of
lofty authorship which alone would do
England eternal honor, if all other virtues
failed her. We can excuse the result of
the disappointment of his recent years,
that led him to compare the present with
the past to the disadvantage of the former.
He has done already enough for mankind
to entitle him to literary Immortality, and
the saintship of scholarly attainment
when he shall pass away.
Mr. Ruskin was born in February, 1919.
He is the son of a merchant who left him
q large fortune. He was graduated in
1912 at Christ Church College. In 1899
he gained the Newdigate prize for poetry
On leaving college he began the study of
art. In 1S43 appeared his work on
Modern Painters in which he held the
modern landscape painters to be superior
to ancient masters The brilliancy, origin
atty and boldness of the work drew
the attention of the whole art
world. In 1916 he republished it with
a second volume on "The Imaginative and
Theoretic Faculties" Ten years later he
added two other volumes, and in 1860 a
fifth, and still later revised the entire issue.
His Seven Lamps of Architecture" have,
more than any other influence, nodded
modern thought upon that subject, as also
The Stones of Venice" issued from 1851
to 1858. His series of Examples of the
Architecture of Venice" his work on the
Crystal Palace, and the sketches accompa-
nying them from the pencil of the author.
augmented the progressive movement he
gave to public thought upon modern arch
itecture. In 1865 he contributed a yalua-
bic treatise, "The Study of Architecture
In Our Schools" Following this, came
works upon church building and church
discipline, in which his doctrinal argu-
mentative powers were brilliantly illus
trated. He became very early disciple
of the pre,Raphaelite school of the most
enthusiastic order. He is one of the few
critics who ventured to assail Turner in an
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-08-22

analysis of his style. In 1867 he became
Rede" lecturer at Cambridge, and was
given the degree Of LID. by the Univer-
sity. He became Professor of Fine Arts
at Oxford in 1862 In 1871 he endowed a
chair for a master of drawing in the Tay-
lor Galleries, Oxford, setting aside $4,000
sterling for that purpose. His courses of
lectures in England and Scotland have
been very numerous, and have mostly been
published, and in cheap editions are aces
sible to all. They possess the rare quality
Of being clear to all intelligences among
general readers. He spoke and wrote for
the uninformed mind, and no man lives
who possesses in so high degree the con-
summate art of simplifying that of which
he treats, and especially Of addressing it to
the lay mind His lectures and treatises
are on art in all its phases, on decoration,
manufacture, on books and their reading,
elements Of crystallization, on traffic, trade,
war, architecture, sculpture, engraving,
perspective, labor, painting, the cause Of
the workingman, on poetry, organized
charity, and a variety of philan-
thropic topics. As to the number
of his magazine articles, reviews,
and briefer papers, it is impossible to
make an estimate, but he has given us to
understand that at his death they will be
found, gathered and arranged. No author
Of the century, nor indeed, of any other,
has taken into the scheme of his literary
labors such a multitude of topics, or has
testified to the uniform ability to cope with
each Of them with such complete success.
John Ruskin's life has been a noble record
testifying to a long, unvarying and unset
fish effort to elevate the tastes, refine and
educate his race. Believing in the religion
of the beautiful, he has all these many
years sought continuously to convert men
to the same faith Mr. Ruskin is a con-
troversalist who was unsparing, because he
invariably writes and speaks from pro-
found conviction. In his later years, this
positiveness in debate has led him into
seeming of dogmatism, and something of
disappointment with the world of present
things appears to have tinged his more
recent expression. But this is due proba-
bly, to the failure of society to keep pace
with the progressiveness of his desire and
his selfappointed mission. On this theory,
and because he has imbibed something of
the cynicism of certain of his contempo-
raries, is to be explained his antagonism to
labor-saving machinery and some of the
notable scientific inventions of the day
Yet there is undoubtedly sincerity, though
INSTRUCTED, in his defense of the position
that these modern inventions are exiting
from mems natures those refining infiu-
ences that manifest themselves in poetic
expression and the love of the beautiful.
1t remains to be said Of Mr.. Ruskin that
no art critic is severer and at the same
time gentler; none whose principles of art
analysis are based on broader truths, and
no critic Of men whose heart is more ca
pacious for them, or more sympathetic with
woes, or whose life is spent more unselfsh-
| ly and sincerely for their advancement

How many years ago could, or might
1t have been," when negro boy, pupil
in public school in Southern State,
would have been permitted on graduation
to deliver an address How long ago is
it that such a thing as a colored pupil in
Kentucky being graduated was possible :?
How long ago might it be said" since a
Southern newspaper would dare to print a
speech made by "nigger ?" Yet to
prove the march of events, and the evolu-
tons of changing IDEAS the growth of
tolerance and the march of progressive
influences, here is the fact staring us in
the face, that in the year of grace, 1885,
the papers Of the city of Louisville, KY,
give, voluntarily, two and half columns
of space to verbatim report of speech
delivered at the colored High School
graduation exercises by a negro youth.
And worse still, they commend it as fine
oratorical and thoughtful production.

He Would Smoke 1t ON Sunday.

A Buffalo man who recently made trip
to New York tells the following story on
himself: He entered the srnoking-room OF
a New York Central sleeper standing in
the depot, and there found stranger OF
Celtic extraction indulging in pull at bis
pipe. The car reeked with the perfume,
and the Buffalo man found that his two
for-e-quarter cigar did not stand the slight
est chance. 1t made him rad that such a
stencil should be permitted, and when the
conductor came in he made complaint.
al have no more right to stop him smok-
ing pipe than have to stop you sEnofSiHg
a cigar" said the ticket plncher.
"Well, hand him cigar, then, said the
Buffalo man, and he pulled out one of the
same brand he had in his mouth. The con.
ductor approached the man of the pipe,
when the following took place:
Conductor-The gentleman presents his
compliments and asks yoii to accept cigar.
Man with the Pipe-Trle for the ginIle-
man, he is scholar; but as 1 have my pipe
lighted, I'll kape the cigar and smoke it OF
