National Art School.
Good-by, General.

The movement for the establishment OF q
national aft school at Washington has been
revived and several OF our northern contem'
porarieJ are urging that tue matter be
pressed upon the attention OF Congress at
its next SESSION. The object OF the school
would be the development OF a national
art spirit. and 1t is proposed that 1t shall have
accommo lations for twenty-five hundred
students. There can he no question that
national art spirit should be cultivated, II
for no other purpose save that Of so far edu-
eating the average rich American in art mat
ters that when be takes his European tour
he may not become the dupe OF picture-fac-
tories. Yet there IL one serious question TO
be considered IN connection with locating
big art school at WASHINGTON. Should the
true art spirit ever get abroad 10 the national
capital the result would be riot and the tear
ing down OF some Of the art N onstrosities aud
trayestics with which that city doth abound.
Such q contamination would be good
thing for art, but would be a reflection upon
the fair pane OF Washington for law and
crdOr.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The mention OF Mr.. Hoge Tyler. OF Pu-
laskl, by prominent southwestern papers as
a candidate for the goyeruOrship has met a
hearty response In this county, Mr.. Tyler's

As gentleman OF honorable birth and
stainless life he can be safely trusted 10
brlug no reproach on the most chiyalrous
traditions of bis State. As IN active, sue
cessiul businessman he is In sympathy with
every stride of modern progress, and his

Confederate soldiers Homes.

The WILMINGTON IN. C.) Messenger has
asneuncc its intention to raise fund SUN
client to build and maintain Confederate
soldiers home In that State. The Messen'
gers efforts In this direction should meet
with hearty and prompt response. There
ought 10 be Confederate soldiers home IN
every southern State. The least the several
States can do for their veterans Is to see that
their declining years are years OF comfort
and freedom from care. Virginia, Mary
land, and Texas have Confederate homes,
aud nearly City thousand dollars have already
been raised for the Georgia homo. Surely
North Carolina, than whose troops none
mad. more gallant record, should not be
behind these states 10 doing her duty by her
veterans, particularly as in the matter Of
material prosperity the Old North State has
forged far TO the front since the war.
