NO MORE NAVAL JuSKErs.

Secretary Whitney assures the coun-
try through the familiar medium Of a
newspaper interview that there will be
no "junketing" in naval vessels under
bis administration. He says that on
all occasions of an "O.fciap charac.
ter, or in which the United States is to
be represented, the Government steam
viii be turned on aud vessels of our
gallant navy made to plough the waters,
But he says that the Government shall
not pay for the entertainments fur
nishcd on such occasions. These will
be paid for out of the Secretary's own
capacious pockct-book. This Is the
right kind Of talk,
But the Secretary has drawn the line
n little too far over on the economy
side to fit exactly his practice For
instance, the young Brazilian midship.

Mr.. Whitney's wine. But there was
the junkeiing on an unofficial occasion,
which the Secretary had just sworn
should not occur. Then there was
another recent occasion of au entirely
unofficial character when the rigid rule
was relaxed. We refer to the junket-
ing of Miss frankie Folsom from ship
TO shore on the Government tug boat
Wm. L. Chandler.
THE Critic takes this occasion to
express its approval of that junket and
TO recommend similar ones hereafter.
But it suggests to Secretary Whitney
such modification of his interview as
will allow of semi. official junketingS
like those above mentioned.

uoLMAN's RIDE.

HoLmAN's RIDE.
Mr. Holman reached the House on his
return from Indiana, in time to vote with
Mr. Morrison on bringing up his tariff bill.
ilo wac received with applause.
Up from the House at noon OF day,
Bringing to Morrison fresh dlsmay,
The free trade air, with shudder, bore
The terrible grumble aud rumble aud roar,
Telling that taiilG was on once more,
And Holman twenty miles away!
But there is a road to Washington town,
A good strong railway leading down,
Aud then through the flush Of the MONDAY
light
a train, as fast rs the wings OF night,
Was seen TO pass as with eagle hight
AS II II knew the terrible need
II flew along with It's utmost speed
With Holman fifteen miles away!
Under the whirling wheels, the road
Like an arrowy Alpine river, flowed,
And the landscape sped away behind
Like an ocean flying before the wind.
The train swept on with its eyes Of fire;
Bringing the Watch Dog near his desire
He is catching the roar OF the tariff fray
And Holman mile and a-half away.
The first that Holman saw were the groups
OF reporters, hunting around for scoops;
What was done-what TO do-a glance told
him both;
Then dropping his grip with modified
oath,
He dashed through the House mid O storm
Of huzzas,
And the wave Of retreat checked its course
then, because
The sight Of the Watch Dog compelled 1t
to pause.
With sweat aud with DUST the old man was
gray;
By the fash of his eye and his nccktie's
wild play
He seemed to Morrisons side to say:
~ have come from my District, all the way,
To Washington town to save the day n'

The Priscilla has won again, but it
was after a very disappointing and
irritating contest. The wind was light
during nearly all of the race. When
there was anything like breeze it was
squally, and the wind was variable.
Still, under all conditions OF the
weather, the Priscilla behaved admi.
rably. Her working to windward
showed that the changes made in her
construction have resulted in giving
her owners better all.around sea

second, and exhibited some excellent
qualities. The Mayhower did not
show up very well. 1t was her first
race, and she is not yet completely
fitted out for such contests. She came
in last, with the Puritan but short dis.
tance ahead of her. While yachtsmen
think that the Puritan has not been
properly managed in her last two
races there is a somewhat general feel.
ing among them that the Priscilla is
the better boat, and that she will be

unless the Mayfower develops qualities
that she has yet kept in reserve.

The Art Exhibit.

Visitors in this beautiful city, we availed our
selves of the privilege of attending the art exhi-
bition at Masonic He'll. It was indeed a rare
treat. Seldom. it would seem, in collection of
paintings of the size of this are there so many
fine productions The well-lghted rooms, and
the novel and artistic arrangement of the
pictures in such way that the eye is not con-
fused by seeing too many at once, makes it q
pleasure to inspect where it is sometimes a task.
1t would be impossible to speak of the paint
iugs in detail. There are several either of which
is worthy to be on exhibition by itself. AS
the hall is entered the eve is met by the help
less beauty Lois, the Witch" behind the bars
of her cell. Turning TO the right hand wall the
''Sultan's Favorite" looms up in its mas
siye strength of form and color.
In vivid contrast to this picture is another by
the Same artist which may be called the gem of
the collection. 1t is 1.-THE Kiss of the Sirens
wonderful personifcation of the Turing embrace
of the wave, enchanting the gaze with its soft
beauty. 'Low Tide" Outward Bound" and
Fair Weather are very fine, each IN its own way.
Eat Home" is remarkably life-like scene of
animal domesticity, and "A Winters
Thaw' is like looking from a window
on a January day. "Bianca" and the
themselves. There are Apples and Peaches"
and Bananas" and other fruits canvas which
can almost be felt and tasted. But why specify2
comparisons are odious" We all have our own
ideas and tastes in pictures as we'll otherwise.
Go and see the collection. 1t deserves your
patronage. You are a loser if you stay away.

RICHMOND, Va, May Sin the M. e. confer

cess in combining local and pa

plan be not changed. Various memorials
were presented and referred to the committee on
boundaries Rev. L, L. Pickett, of the North
Texas Conference, having been located against
his will, submitted an appeal from the decision Of
his conference. giving the following reasons for
the appeal: That notification had been served
previous to the proceedings; that the provisions
of Discipline did not cover his case; that all slle-
cations were not proved, and that he
submitted written statement of his
purpose to duly administer discipline.
A lively debate ensued. His conference delegate
claimed that, as there had been no charges
against his moral character, he had no right Of
appeal, and that he had been located because of
his refusal to administer baptism by immersion.
The conference decided to hear the appeal

THE OHIO SENATE.
The Republicans Take the Bull by the Horns

COLUMBUS o., May 8-The Republican mem

at 10 o'clock, and, without transacting any bus
mess, went into caueuss to discuss proposition
to consider the special order, the Hamilton
county contest cases, ard seat the four Repub-
lican claimants by @ viva voce vote before 1t was
officially ascertained that there was no quorum
present The caucus decided to pursue this
course, and the members came into the chamber
again at IL A NJ The journal of each day since
Tuesday was read and declared approved.
Mr.. Pavey, Of Fayette, moved to take from
the table the report of the Republi can members
of the senatorial investigating committee, which
was agreed to by q viva voce vote, and then the
resolution subm tilted by the same committee was
adopted, which recommends the seating Of the
four Republican claimants. The resolution was

amidst storm of applause.
The venerable William H. West, of Bellefon-
tame, the blind man eloquent" is here on bust
ness in the Supreme Court He said, yesterday,
that there is no doubt of the report still bel ng
the special order and it could not be disposed of
by an adjournment unless there was quorum
present to do so. He added however. that
there was a plain way to dispose of the
whole matter. When the Senate meets some
one should move to adopt the resolution seating
the four Republicans and let the vote be viva yoce.
Then swear them in, and go ahead with the bust
ness of the State. There would be nothing on
the journal to show that less than quorum was
present and the act would stand the scrutiny of
any court Under the circumstances, nothing
else could be done.
