IL Can't he Oope

Mr.. William F. Royal of Virginia comes
out boldly in favor of the Acknowledgement
of the negro, and pledges himself If he can
get into Congress to work for that end. Mr..
Royal believes the North can be prevailed
upon to consent to the repeal of the Fiji
tenth amendment, If the South will agree
to allow her electoral votes and COMPRESSION
al representation to be cut down to the basis
Of her white vote. Mr.. Royal is evidently
very sanguine and very misguided man. In
the first place no Congress could be elected
pledged to the repeal of the Fifteenth
amendment; and in the second place
it would be utterly impossible to
get two-thirds of the State leg
islatures to consent to the disfranchise-
ment Of the black man. If the negro is ever
DISTINGUISHED by law it will be through an
educational test set up by the States. Such
test would undoubtedly disqualify from
the suffrage large per cent of the colored
race of the South, but it would also dsfran-
chise considerable per cent. of the white
population. The disfranchisement of the
colored voters of the South in this way is
within the bounds Of possibility. though be-
yond the bounds of probability; but their
Acknowledgement in the way Mr. Royal sug-
gests is outside the limits of both,

An Exhibition by MIR. Fox's pupils.

To the Editor of the Press:
win you kindly grant me space for a few
words in reference TO the students work
now on exhibition at 47S1 Congress street.
The first room contains academic sized
drawings from the skeleton, from the an
atomical figure and from the full length
antique, together with some rudimentary
work in clay and modelling from the full
length antique.
The second room contains drawings of
heads from the antique. and drawings of
heads from life in charcoal and crayon. to-
gether with studies of heads in oil and clay,
also from life. In this room are the original
compositions arranged in groups, with the
title Of each group under it, The work of
the afternoon sketch class will be found in
the first room. The second room also con-
tains decorative panel composed of two
designs in ipen and ink, one of the May
flower" by Miss Florence Carpenter; the
other, the" Arms of the State Of Maine" by
myself. This panel was intended for needle
work. and has already been embroidered by
Miss M. Z. Falrweather.
In arranging the work in clay in such
manner as to show its influence upon the
drawings, have tried to follow an order,
from the rudimentary sketch upward,
though in the actual application of model
ling to daily work have never been able to
establish any defined system. Each indi-
vidual has his own needs, which vary ac-
cording to the moment, and clay seems to be
able to adapt itself to that moment and to
be laid aside when the point has become

applicable to the study of anatomy both in
fixing the forms upon the memory and max
ing that part of the student work less dry.
In general way its usefulness might be
classed under three heads:
The first, as stated above, as an aid to
memorizing form, especially noticeable In
modelling from the round, inasmuch as each
side must be remembered while the other is
being made.
Second-Its usefulness in making small
figures in given movement for draping, and
as an aids for getting actions not easily
sustained by the model.
Third-The breadth given to the compre-
hension of the student by understanding
two intimately allied arts, as lar as they are
based upon the human figure.
AS the laws of one are in many cases es-
sential to the other, that is the law of the
perspective of the figure and of taste or judy
ment in mechanical effect, might not our
ability to understand the bias relief be in
part the measure of the solidity of our tech
nical knowledgea As the meeting ground of
TWO arts there must befnot only difficulty at

The latter can be overcome only by constant
association with the works of the 'best mas

1t was announced some time ago that the
subsidies offered by the Canadian govern
ment for fast Atlantic and Pacific steamship
lines, had been given to the Andersons and
that they were to put on the necessary fast
vessels if they could find the necessary capt.
tai. The amount necessary to buy and equip
the vessels required by the terms of the sub
sidy is estimated at little less than twenty
million dollars; and these vessels would be
required to call at French port, to touch at
Plymouth aud Southampton instead of Liver
pool, and to stop at Halifax for winter port
without continuing to an American port.
Inc announcement is now made that under
these requirements the Apdersons are unable

The most recent reports from Henry
Georges lecturing tour are that in the places
he has visited, the halls have proved too small
to hold his audiences, and the authorities in
some of the towns have not concealed their
uneasiness at the proportions assumed by
the crowds which have flocked to hear him.
1t is not difficult to believe this. The
feverish and astonishing popularity of Mr..
George in New York city at the time of his
canvass against Hewitt shows what he can
do among population like that of the great
metropolis. In England he finds In nearly
every town numbers of such people as
clustered around him in New York. The
landless and the discouraged welcome any
one who promises them remedy for their
forlorn condition, and they are quite ready
to see all the taxes shifted on to the land
which is among them generally owned by
landlords. Moreover, Mr.. George is an able
man and presents his theories very attrac-
lively thereby drawing many who estimate
his plausible but misleading arguments at
their true value.

government shall make the terms of the sub
sidy more favorable. Speaking of this
failure the Toronto Globe says that Cana
dian fast Atlantic service, to be successful,
must be conducted freely from the best port

from Halifax to Portland and that the

The Concord People and Patriot, the lead
ing newspaper ally of the Concord railroad,
declares that the main result of
the taking Of the Boston, Con-
cord q Montreal from the Boston &
Maine will be the establishing of the indie
pendence Of the Merrimack valley or central
New Hampshire system Of railroads, and the
continuance of two great competing lines be-
tween the mountains and the seaboard, in
stead of the consolidation of these and the
eastern system under single management.
This, the People and Patriot seems to think,
will be much better for the State of New
Hampshire than would be the establishing
of monopoly which would render the ZEN
tire State subject to single railroad power,
with objects and purposes In large measure
foreign to its interests" This no doubt Is
so, but the position of New Hampshire is
not going to be all pleasant with two great
corporations, enemies and rivals, coming to
her legislature for this and that, as they are
bound to do at almost every session. Two
obstreperous railroads are not much of an
improvement over one, in anything but rates
of freight and passenger fares. These latter
considerations, however, are the great con-
siderations with the people of the State /;
and they will put up with legislative trials
with equanimity If competition keeps rates
