RusEin a. q Humanitarian.

From w. J. Stillman's article on Ruskin,
in the January Century, accompanied by a
irontispiccc portrait, we quote tho follow
ing
Any present Judgment OF him as a
whole Is difIicultif not impossible, because
there are in him several different indi-
viduals, and the perspective in which we
now see them makes OF his position rs an
art teacher the dominant element OF his
personality; whereas in my persuasion,
his art teaching is in his own nature and
work subordinate 10 his moral and human
iiarian ideals. He always saw art through
. religious medium, and this made him,
from the beginning, strain his system OF
teaching and criticism 10 meet the demand
OF direct truth to nature, the roots Of his
enthusiasm and reverence being not in art
but in nature, and in her beneficial inf IL
cnce on humanity.
"A little incident OF our Alpine summer
will illustrate this view OF his character
better than all my appropriations. During
our stay ut Geneva he had some mountain
drawing to do at the Pertc du Rhone, and
asked me TO drive down with him. Not
FAR from the point OF view which he had
selected was n group Of wrtched dwellings
miscalled cottages, but which in America
we call shanlics not the picturesque wall
and-thalch structures which the word cot
tage calls up In England, but built III
boards. shabby without being picturesque,
and TO my American no ions only capable
OF association with poverty and discomfort.
Rnskin asked me to draw them while he
was drawing QkRountains. The subject
was anything but attractive or pictorial,
and though it should have been enough
for me that he wished me TO draw il care
fully, | only oheyed my own feeling and
made carclcsaYted-minuics pencil draw
ing the thing was worth to me. When
Ruskin drove hP to'take me in. ON the way
back TO Geneva, and saw what had done
he was-and must say, with good rea.
son-oilended at the Indifferent way
in which l had complied with his
request, and -sftr few reproachful
words, threw himself back in the carriage in
a sullen tempcri Y replied that the sub

tipal feeling | hadfn looking at il was that

anything else, and that, in short, laid not
think IL worth drawing. Nothing more
was said by either OF us until No had
driven halfway back to Geneva, when he
broke out with, you arc right, Stillman,
about those cottages your way OF looking
at them was nobler than mine, and nov,

Hon. N. G. Blanchard.

The Congressional Convention of
the Fourth District, held at Shreve-
port on last Tuesday, nominated Hon.
Newton Grain Blanchard for his fifth
consecutive term in Congress, by ac-
clamation This action of the Con-
vention was q graceful tribute to one
of the best Congressman ever sent
from. Louisiana tribute won by
most faithful and intelligent service
on the part of the gentleman in ques-
ton.
MIR. Blanchard has made particu-
larly sturdy Representative; has been
ever on the alert and has let no OPP
portunity pass to secure action for
the benefit of his District, his State
and the Democratic party. His re-
nomination and the complimentary
manner in which it was made were
both Thoroughly well deserved.
Mr.. Blanchard is thoroughly ia
miliar with the workings of our gov
eminent. He is man of fine ability
and untiring industry. AS Chairman
of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, and as a member of the
House, he has rendered signal service
to his party and his country. He is
a Simon pure Democrat, and in all
the struggles that have taken place
in Congress, since he has been a
member. he has fought the fight of
the people. The Banner hopes that
he will long continue to be one of
Louisiana's most faithful, most trust
ed and most efficient servants.
The Fourth District has done well.
